What else are you after? There not a whole lot of settings you can change yet

drowsy valve
#

Pretty sure my update file is okay. But the .bat start not so much. I was getting some error messages though I have the server running now.

#

start "" /NORMAL "D:\TheIsle\PrivateIsle\TheIsleServer.exe" "listen?game=sandbox?MaxPlayers=150?Port=31100?QueryPort=31200?RCONEnabled=true?RCONPort=31300?" -log

#

I'm only get maxplayers of 50

#

And when I put map code in the game crashed.

little trench
#

Okay, there is no rcon you can remove those two

drowsy valve
#

k

little trench
#

What error's are you getting?

drowsy valve
#

I was also asked to build a Region 3 map. By default this map started on region 2 without map info.

little trench
#

Don't need listen. MaxPlayers should be fine, though some odd reason doesn't alwayts seem to take effect unless you have the map stated in the start line

#

V3 broken or buggy at the moment I do believe.

drowsy valve
#

I'm not sure how married they are to the map. I was reading above that you can run it on the dev branch but I'm not sure how to set that up.

little trench
#

/Game/Region2/Isle_Region2?game=sandbox?MaxPlayers=150?Port=31100?QueryPort=31200 -log

#

Booting map like that should fix the players at least.

drowsy valve
#

Thank you. I will try that to see if I can get it running better. Step one.

#

I really appreciate your help. I feel like I've been knocking my head against a wall for hours now.

I'm assuming if the map is a modded map I would also need the mod number. Do mod numbers need to be in the command line or just the gameusersettings.ini?

little trench
#

gameusersettings.ini

#

[TheIsle.Mods]
EnabledMods=<Some ID>

#

Add the mod id. Boot the server on one of the default maps so it will download (Have to do it manually on Linux)

#

Then change the map

drowsy valve
#

That absolutely did change the player count.

want to be on Dev branch. You need to att the -beta development to the app_update in steam CMD

drowsy valve
#

Then this instead? /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3

#

For map?

little trench

Yeah for v3 πŸ˜ƒ

You've been super helpful. Thank you so much! I wish I had found this earlier today! πŸ˜„

Yeah, most owner are fairly nice, some more helpful then others πŸ˜ƒ

Guys can you help me on local host server ,how can i use any command? Cause i typing everything in console but its not doing anything.

loud flame
#

So Then this /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3 would work on gamecitadel? Iv had a but a run in with the maps an not sure to all of the code names. I only of one and that stock set up. At this time my server is running a xtra low pp server on theynaw so getting to allo an so wont take much effort. Im also looking for a person who looking to help run a server. Pm me for information. The person need to know about server based stuff and ect.

trim patrol
#

hi, the v3 is in the dev branch?

loud flame
#

@HolographicWings#4639 yes it is

loud flame
#

/Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3 is not working for Gamecitadel does anyone happen to know why it wont change?

kind citrus
#

Is it possible to add mods to a server if it is on the dev branch?

naive onyx
#

No, no mods that I am aware of

kind citrus
#

what about maps?

#

like can i add modded maps to dev branch?

drowsy valve
#

Set up a development server with /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3 and people aren't loading in properly. They can see the server, but it takes forever to load and they finally time out. It is the first Isle server I've set up so there might be something wrong.

#

Update .bat
@lethal rampart off
start "" steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir "D:\TheIsle\PrivateIsle" +app_update 412680-beta development validate +quit

#

Start .bat
start "" /NORMAL "D:\TheIsle\PrivateIsle\TheIsleServer.exe" " /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?game=sandbox?MaxPlayers=150?Port=31100?QueryPort=31200" -log

little trench
#

As said before, v3 is broken or buggy. Not sure if fixes were done or about to be done in dev branch.

drowsy valve
#

Oh! I thought it was working on the dev branch.

#

I misunderstood.

#

How has Thenyaw been working out? Beta development only? Is it stable though?

#

Is there some place that shows all the map paths?

drowsy valve
#

I actually got the server to work by not using the bat file to start but adding the launch parameters to the shortcut.

drowsy valve
#

No "+" sign in front of "serveradmins=" ?

loud flame
#

When you add one it should be ServerAdmin=your id

naive onyx
#

@kind citrus No, I think they still count as mods.

drowsy valve
#

@loud flame I found that out the hard way.

merry urchin
#

Thenwya is pretty stable in my opinion I just hate how hilly it is

#

I use it for my realism server

#

@drowsy valve the long loading screen is just a bug.

drowsy valve
#

As of now it is looking pretty good. I wish there was some sort of RCON, but it is what it is. Haven't been able to test the MOTD but it sounds like that goes in a text file in the saved folder vs in the game ini files.

#

That is odd though because there is a MOTD line in a lot of the instructions for server setup.

little trench
#

motd game.ini is the old way, need to make MOTD.txt in the Saved folder.
Isle used to use Battleeye, had some sort of rcon but it was causing to many issues and removed, in-game admin is being worked on,sure there is more to come to make things easier later πŸ˜ƒ

sonic trail
#

I dont see how that link is wrong, it clearly says that it's an example. They put the + so people who simply copy and paste it won't have random admins in game.

little trench
edgy pasture
#

does anyone know if the 🚫 button boots people for a minimum time or just till restarted server?

#

seems restart doesnt always let them back in

little trench
#

24 Hours or permanent Can't really remember what's been said. Might find banned ID's in Game.ini or saved data somewhere?

edgy pasture
#

ok ty

merry urchin
#

It is 24 hours

drowsy valve
#

Where is the first place game updates are announced? Is there a consistent update schedule?

hello all, is there any way that i can get into the files and make people the new adult rex? ive been trying but it sets me as the old rex

@hearty gate Are you making them RexAdult or RexAdultS

#

well my friends make it RexAdult

What is the command line to use the Thenyaw map?

Yeah.

If you mean the free cam thing, I did see that yeah. I thought there may have been a weather / time set command too. All good though, I was curious what commands we have access to as admin.

Good night, could you tell me how to banish and kick server players now that we're out of Rcon? I saw that in this last att of The Isle they have arranged a way to control this, you know the commands? or how to do?

Good time a developer!

Standard starting the server uses the map /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Developer/DV_TestLevel.DV_TestLevel

Question :
How can I force my server to use the map Thenyaw_Island ?

I was looking for a guide to launch a non-standard map for dedicated servers, but I found nothing.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/376210/discussions/16/1621724915777338010/
His URL contains stale information

I looked at the game client logs, there I learned the location of the map Thenyaw_Island..
but starting the server gives only errors and refers to the absence of the map...Probably the directory of folders and files TheIsle-WindowsNoEditor.pak and TheIsle-Windows server.pak different ,and therefore my suspicions were unfounded :(

More I have no idea how to force the server to run the map Thenyaw_Island
I am asking you to help me please.

sonic trail
#

maybe because the link you posted is 6 months old and we have updated a shit ton since then...

merry urchin
#

how do you give a reason when kicking every time i try I only send the first word.

reef plume
#

@sonic trail
if the structure of the server and its startup parameters and configurations have changed a lot, maybe it's time to update the guide and the link I provided?

Whatever it is...My problem is not solved...

Hello everyone, can anyone help me? I have a server in pingperfect but for some reason I am without the control of admin I can not use the commands to kick and baning players and the game is not recognizing me with the golden nick is like the others

inland plinth
#

@stable citrus I am not too familiar with pingperfect servers but I am pretty sure there has to be an option where you need to put in your Steam64ID to be recognized as admin on the server, have you already done that?

stable citrus
#

I'm not going to try, thank you so much @inland plinth

inland plinth
#

Sure, if you need further help just dm me with a screen of your settings if it doesnt work and I'll try to help (:

#

I haven't hosted in quite a while and my search fu is weak it seems. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to get the discord link to show up with my server (if that's still an option)

merry urchin
#

does anyone have the discord link to Risen Realism?

languid tusk
#

@verbal wraith You mean that your Server is gonna have that smexy discord invite button in the serverlist ? Like how to add the link and where?

verbal wraith
#

yeah, is that still a thing?

inland plinth
#

For our server it works as far as I know, at least it is still there

languid tusk
verbal wraith
#

Thnx! i swear i looked at that discussion page a couple times last night.

stable citrus
#

Hi everyone, I've put the Type / help to show the list of commands just wanted to know if I messed up the command

verbal wraith
#

if you're an admin just open the chat window and type /help to see the list of available commands

stable citrus
#

@verbal wraith
yes I am admin but when I typed the list does not appear

verbal wraith
#

make sure your not putting a space after the / it should just be /help and make sure your name is gold. feel free to upload a screenshot if needed.

ok

Hey I just have a couple of questions about hosting a server from the game.

  1. When I host from the game is it then only single player or can other people join? Because my friend couldn't find me when I did it.

  2. Does the AI setting work on it and if so how many dinosaurs does it spawn? I couldn't find any when I was on Survival Mode.

  3. What do the settings Database and Eperimental mean/do?

ember nacelle
#

@acoustic hamlet
1 As of right now I believe hosting a game is single player only, anyone who knows otherwise I'd love for them to correct me
2 AI is currently broken and doesn't work
3 Database means that it will save your dinosaur and Experimental as of right now does nothing

acoustic hamlet
#

Thanks for answering my questions, I did notice that it had a private setting, so I'm assuming it may turn into multiplayer at some point? But either way won't be using it until the AI is working anyway.

sonic trail
#

the private setting basically means that anybody with the password that can see it, can join it. But as stated above, hosted servers are currently singleplayer. It might work with LAN but it has so far been untested

merry urchin
#

How do I disable dinosaurs from my server, do I need to write out their entire name in my ping perfect?

naive onyx
#

Just use their "code names" in the ping perfect bit yeah

sonic trail
#

For example:
[/script/theisle.igamemode]
DisabledDinosaurs=Velo

#

just do "DisabledDinosaurs=(dino code name like velo or shant)"

#

MAKE SURE that you have the [/script/theisle.igamemode] line above it first

What are some good server hosts that anyone might recommend? Me and a few friends wanted to start a server ourselves and we went with CitadelServers to begin with, but they are no help at all and won't answer any of our questions. We're thinking about going with PingPerfect but I wanted to know if anyone had any advice or other options. Thanks in advance ^3^

lapis gazelle
#

@tropic beacon a lot of servers use PingPerfect. In my experience of using them with my friend when I was an owner, they are decent, but like a lot of things they can be difficult at times. I do recommend them though.

I've tried using the Beta / Legacy function on PingPerfect but it doesn't work. I even deleted the Database folder.

Tagged you Grin, because you seem fairly knowledgable.

I've got a question so my gf runs a server... I can see it but she can't do you know what's wrong or needs to be fixed

bronze coral
#

Try having her exit the game and then rejoin again. Also have her check to make sure she's got the same version of the game the server is on.

eternal breach
#

@bronze coral Not sure about PingPerfect specifically

bronze coral
#

Any other hosts you know how to do the change on?

eternal breach
#

normally, you just specify the -beta development line in the update process

#

which tells steam pipe to grab the development branch

bronze coral
#

Is there any way to manually do that on PP?

eternal breach
#

I'm sure PP does it somewhere in the background

bronze coral

Hm. Is there anything I can run in the Commandline Manager?

as of 0.1.39.2, server admins have two new commands, /time and /weather, if you type just the command you'll get a list of possible values to use, and be careful with setting the weather to storm or higher as it won't leave until you reset currently, let me know if you have any issues

placid stratus
#

Apologies but can someone tell me where I can find / how to set a server time to a specific time of day on regular branch? Or if there is a guide? I did a little poking but was unsuccessful. I may just be blind, I dunno. Tried those ^^^^ didnt work..

dense crane
#

@placid stratus As far as i'm aware. Admin commands are only on dev branch currently. As devs are experimenting on how well they work and if there are any problems. Once devs are satisfied, they release it to regular branch. That is probably why it currently doesn't work on regular branch.

placid stratus
#

I realize that, but where is the option to change the server times within the database?

little trench
#

For stable, this is all there is for the gameI believe, in the Game.ini

[/script/theisle.igamemode]
ServerStartingTime=1350
bServerDynamicTimeOfDay=0
ServerDayLength=60

tropic beacon
#

Does anyone know how to switch a server through PingPerfect to Dev branch? It's a new server and we finally got it to show up on legacy, but we're wanting to use it on dev branch. We opened a ticket with support but nothing they've had us try has worked yet

merry urchin
tropic beacon
#

That helped πŸ˜„ Thanks! I think they were telling us to use a different button than that one and that was supposed to change it

placid stratus
#

@little trench (apologies for the tag, idk if you mind.) In that section, if I wanted to freeze the time, would I set the desired time in ServerDynamicTimeOfDay and then leave DayLength be? So if I wanted it to remain Night Time, enter in 0100 (I assume) as Dynamic for 1 Am?

little trench
#

It may work that way. What i sent is the default. Also depends if the map uses those settings.
Trail and error my friend

shadow fiber
#

Does anyone know how to enable AI from the command line using steam dedi? I know its not ready yet just wanted to know for reference...

bronze coral
#

Hey looter, I've set the AI to a cap of 200 and a spawn rate of 5 and we've not seen any Orodomeus in a few hours.

#

Are there suggested settings you would use for that?

unreal hull
#

Those settings probably don't work anymore, there's a hard cap of 2 AI dinos at any time currently. If you want to see them, stay on flat terrain without lots of rocks, or go on DV-TestLevel.

half cradle
#

How do you switch to the new map on ping perfecrt

naive onyx
#

I'd say the custom command line until they add it in to the default one. I don't know the commandline for it though. It's likely similar to the others.

little trench
#

from what I understand, you can just put AE-012 as the map and off it goes?

naive onyx
#

Usually yes, but until they make it into the actual command line you will have to use the custom commandline

little trench
#

Sorry, I mean last I looked (although not personally tested) Isle takes short paths. so where AE-012 might be /game/maps/AE-012/AE-012 or somethign, can just use AE-012 ??

Hello, can someone help me with the AI ​​configuration of my dedicated server?

#

bServerAI=true
ServerAIMax=150
ServerAIRate=5
bServerAIPlayerSpawns=true

#

?

tropic beacon
#

Is there a way for admins on a server to see player name tags while having them off? I've seen some people talk about it but I've also heard that it doesn't work

naive onyx
#

If you press delete anyone who is in range their name will show until pressed again.

tropic beacon
#

Thank you 😁

jade nexus
#

Hello guys, what is the best way to distribute food on the map? Could someone explain to me how you do?

#

I would also like to know with what command I remove the rain

jolly finch
#

As a admin type in the chat box /weather and it will tell you all the options for weather events.

jade nexus
#

thanks, and to distribute food?

#

@jolly finch

jolly finch
#

Not sure I follow... Do you mean like how to feed dinos within your server? AI? Herb Food?

jade nexus
#

distributing bodies for carnivores is a new server and I want people to grow

#

@jolly finch

jolly finch
#

My suggestion would be to suicide as a shant or maybe cama in a few popular locations.
Cama bodies may lag your server tho.

#

Sorry not much help. :/

jade nexus
#

that's a good idea the bad thing is to go where you want to die and that there is no command to commit suicide

sonic trail
#

well hopefully the first few players wont be complete fools and try to play as carnivores KNOWING there won't be food....

half cradle
#

Yo does anyone know if you can set multiple dinos that only admins can choose?

like if i wanted admins to have full grown dinos in a survival server while also having the option to choose is that doable?

I know you can set one at a time but im curious

merry urchin
#

Stupid question is there a reason why server keeps crash when it on dev test map? Line is it the bodies or the portal ?? I have a server runs on high with like a lot of ram so it isn’t server side but I’m just wondering if it corpses or portal

lapis gazelle
#

If big things go through the portal it can crash the server @merry urchin best to just keep things out of the portal all together

merry urchin
#

@lapis gazelle okay ty but I have seen any big dinos goes through by will keep an eye out

lapis gazelle
#

Np

twilit sedge
#

Does /grow not work for admins anymore?

dull wraith
#

Not at the moment.

snow oriole
#

@twilit sedge if u like to ban a player, u can add the ID in the game.ini and set it to "ban".
BannedUsers=(UserName="[User-Name]",UniqueID="[User-ID]")

#

[ ] < insert Name/ID

#

@merry urchin If the server havent enough power, it could crash in cause of the corpses. I dont think its because of the portal. (non high power consumption)

#

(if sth unclear tag me pls)

#

what happened to anthomnias nycta server on dev branch?

#

Does anyone have an idea on how to make a pingperfect server go into dev branch?

#

Thanks

dense socket
#

Can somebody please help me with Global chat and AI spawning?

#

I am also having issues with the StoneClaw map working

half cradle
#

Will we ever be able to acquire the dino id's for the hypos or is that against the rules?

dense socket
#

@jolly finch that /weather thing doesn’t work

dense socket
#

It’s not something an Admin can actually do

jolly finch
#

Im able to do it on my own server @dense socket

#

You have to type it like so
/weather <insert condition here>
So it will look like this
/weather Sunny

dense socket
#

I have tried that, it doesn't work

jolly finch
#

Are you on a single player? Or are you an admin for an actual server?

dense socket
#

When I typed in /weather severe
it came up with that Dev comment

#

Admin of a PingPerfect Server Im about to cancle

jolly finch
#

Mine works with all the weather commands, so Im not sure.

dense socket
#

Nothing works but /goto /bring

#

My name is in Yellow though....

jolly finch
proud plinth
#

@dense socket sounds like you are not on dev branch if only /goto and /bring works for you

dense socket
#

How do I go to a dab branch?

jolly finch
#

On ping perfect or for your own game?

dense socket
#

I’m canceling PingPerfect so it would be for the server my friend just set up

jolly finch
#

So just for your game?

Right click The Isle in your Steam Library > Click Properties > Click the Betas Tab > Click the drop down box > Select Development Branch
Your game will then update.

dense socket
#

Can it be loaded through Steam CMD?

#

With Linux?

jolly finch
#

Ive got no clue.

#

Thats something someone with a Linux will have to answer. Or a dev.

dense socket
#

Thank you

jolly finch
#

Sorry couldnt be more help. Good luck.

dense socket
#

You helped quite a bit. Thank you

dense socket
#

Is there a command for the AI to spawn something other then just oros?

white kite
#

isnt oro the only AI available iirc?

west wren
#

probably is cortez but you'd have to spend time looking for them

#

and dont think the actually work

dull wraith
#

Only oros currently.

dense socket
#

Ok, thank you.

hushed cobalt
#

Is there a problem with oro spawning? We’ve currently got it set to 50 and I only see one oro on the whole map. Just makes it virtually impossible for people to play carnivores

#

There is a lot more oros I can see but they’re all stuck underneath the map

unreal hull
#

really?

#

can you get a screenshot of that?

hushed cobalt
#

Sorry I don’t have any screenshots of it. I restarted the server and after a while they started respawning normally

#

More than one this time ^^

normal holly
#

is there a command for an admin to spawn in as a specific dinosaur?

#

i see some people doing it on their servers and im wondering how they do it?

safe compass
#

Hey guys, I am after the sucho information to be able to spawn one in on the server? Is this something we are allowed to be doing? and if anyone has the stats would be awesome.

digital mesa
#

@normal holly you can modify the database to modify what dinosaur you are

#

even in survival you can set yourself as another dinosaur

#

there is no command to set yourself as a dinosaur in game

merry urchin
#

what command to use for heal ?

digital mesa
#

/heal

dull wraith
#

Type /weather for a list of them.

jade nexus
#

Hi, what part of the game.ini to put the input message and what line to put?

blissful musk
#

for some reason I am not able to see a server on my LAN but others coming in for WAN can.

jagged herald
#

can we still make our server works with steam group as whitelist in dev branch? o-o i tried but even stranger can log on

naive onyx
#

I don't think that or password is working right now

jagged herald
#

well, i put a password on it and it's not working... i'm on pingperfect, maybe should i take off my steam groupID64 before?

west wren
#

@jagged herald don't think the password itself function is working on the game

jagged herald
#

and have we some admin command on our serv? i didn't found any list of it...

jade nexus
#

hello the administrators we have the command of the hypo?

merry urchin
#

opal citrus
#

I run a server using ping perfect, and I need to know, what to set the AI Max and AI Rate to, because there is a lot of AI Oro's spawning. Can anyone give me advice?

#

i try to disable some dinosaurs on my ping perfect serv, it doesn't work, it's still possible?

#

i'm on dev branch btw

tame heron
#

How does a private server become a β€œDev” server and be able to use a [Dev] tag? Can anyone put that tag in their server name or do we have to meet a certain criteria? Sorry if that’s been covered already.

whats the command for setting the server daytimes?

tame heron
#

@normal holly /time and /weather will show you the commands (ie: /time morning)

hello guys ... i accidently deleted all the stuff that was deletable in the dedicated server. no i dont get the stuff back with reinstalling. Can you help me there?

#

that includes the document where i can write down who is admin an wich stuff it should have like mode and test

pure valve
#

Have you tried downloading the game to another destination? Create a new folder on your desktop then download it from the client there. Then you can copy and transfer the new files over. @fleet egret

fleet egret
#

no i didnt. Ima try this. Thanks

pure valve

little trench
#

Welp, no love for Linux.

tame heron
#

Just wanted to report that our server is getting underground Ai Oro spawns too. I’ve seen at least 6-7 of them like a 1/4 mile under the surface. Also when herbivore players join, they seem to only be spawning around them and not the carnis. Hard to tell if that was intentional but seems kind of backwards.

#

Also, I hate to repeat my last question but it’s kind of important..
How does a private server become a β€œDev” server and be able to use a [Dev] tag? Can anyone put that tag in their server name or do we have to meet a certain criteria? Sorry if that’s been covered already. Didn’t see it answered anywhere

unreal hull
#

@tame heron which map?

tame heron
#

Thenyaw on Dev branch

unreal hull
#

do you have any pictures of this occurring?

tame heron
#

It appeared that they might have been corpses as I couldn’t see any movement. But they don’t move much anyway so it hard to tell.

unreal hull
#

if they were appearing under the map i would've thought they'd just fall into oblivion

tame heron
#

I’m at work but can post screens when I get home for sure

unreal hull
#

i'm just wondering how you're seeing them. spectator mode or something?

dire spindle
#

I can confirm that they can spawn under the map

tame heron
#

The debug thing when admins can see player tags, will show the oro tags too. When you go to some of the oro tags, it’s obvious they are way way underground by moving the camera back and forth

unreal hull
#

i wonder if the ocean is treated as a solid object, they could be popping in on that πŸ€”

tame heron
#

I noticed it only at Swamp and β€œSunny side up” pond

#

Around the two water sources. Not directly in/under the water

#

And they don’t move. So I’m assuming they might be corpses (it still shows the oro tag when they die)

jade nexus
#

How can I put the message of the day on my server?

Make a text file in the Saved folder called MOTD >> Saved/MOTD.txt

Can admins summon AI oros to them, similar to using the /bring [playername] command?

Just tested it, that's a no.

Makes sense since they are not players.

@dawn pebble ^

I know there was a /summon command at some point so I'm not sure if that was what could work

and what map ?

Hello, does anyone know how I can create two servers on the same machine?

crimson radish

how do you host a server and get people to join

eternal breach
#

@jade nexus Specify a different install path in steamcmd for each server, then forward different ports for each server and specify them in the command-line

jade nexus
#

Thank you already solved are the ports thanks @eternal breach

dense socket
#

@crimson radish only way to get people to join is bringing in people you have been playing with. As far as I know there is not a β€œPlayers Wanted” channel

crimson radish
#

@dense socket thank you

dense socket
#

My questions are:
Why do the Mods not work and is there a way to roll back the growth timers to get he way they were?

dusty salmon
#

They'll be adjusted soon enough.

minor glacier
#

how do you change maps with pp?

#

nvm worked it out

dense socket
#

So can we not go into files and change dinos anymore?

proud plinth
#

You can. But in survival mode only survival dinos will work atm, if you are on dev branch

merry urchin
#

how do you get the discord link to work with the game.ini

#

ive noticed that you need a code different from the link, i dont know where to get it

naive onyx
#

You just use the invite code, instead of the discord.gg part just put the bit after that in there

merry urchin
#

ok thanks so much

hey is there a way to add new dinos to progression?

#

Like survival dinos to progression gamemode

hmm, is there a place where they tend to spawn at? ive been trying different variations of those commands and im not finding anything on my server

I mean like, those aren’t commands you are typing ingame right?

no, they are in the .ini file

naive onyx

Yeah ok ok

#

Just making sure

#

Which map is this on?

@rare hornet For what it's worth all of those maps were official at one point in time. They were just removed as they're no longer developing them anymore.

Ok good to know, thanks for the info

tropic beacon
#

I'm not seeing any ai on our server also and we're on Thenyaw, but theres nothing

and we have the multiply at 4x the normal, so there should be some at least

i believe those settings don't do anything anymore

They don't for now.

You can check for AI by entering spectator with backslash then hitting your "Delete" key. They will show with green names instead of white.

I have a question about admin commands. I am setting up my own server and am trying to figure out how the admins on Pangaea use things like teleport or to become dino's not given access to by survival. I asked them and they told me to come ask here.

naive onyx

Teleport commands are simple, /bring or /goto steam name. The dinos thing is done in the database.

Other commands can be found by doing /help

Are you admin on the server?

I am yes. I am both the owner and set as an admin

@final umbra u can go into spectate with hitting \ then if you go to around the same space from ground you where when u went into spectate and press shift+\ u will come out of spectate over their?

make sense?

I know this is mainly for dedicated servers, but does anyone know how to load in Isle_V3 when you locally host? The only options are the test level and Thenyaw

dull wraith
#

@boreal smelt Eventually everything will be customizable. Time of day, number of AI, which factions, etc.

merry urchin
#

@wide forge You need to download and install Dedicated Server to host V3.

Thats good, it had previously been adjustable, I just wasn't sure if it had been taken away for good or just during the updates and changes to how it all worked

Anyone else having an issue starting their server in the recent patch? I updated to the latest dev build and for some reason it just says "Error" near status for both servers. I've checked for crash logs but there does not seem to be one from today.

the official ones didn't have any issues

naive onyx
#

hm, weird

#

I'll keep trying different things, if anyone finds anything out lemme know

thorny wren
#

We have the same Issue

eternal breach
#

what OS? and check the log for errors/warnings

#

if its a provider, it may be on their end as the binary name changed, but they should be using the bootstrap executable anyway

naive onyx
#

Yeah, it's a provider, for me anyway. I sent in a ticket so hopefully that gets sorted. Thanks.

boreal smelt
#

Yea it did the same thing to my Server. Ticket submitted so hopefully it can get fixed soon

#

For anyone else using PingPerfect, click the "Swap to current branch" in your control panel, and it resolves the Error message issue

west wren
#

@naive onyx It's not your provider it's the recent steam update broke the SteamCMD commandline causing alot of providers to be unable to automate nearly all steam based dedicated servers. People directly affected are people who use and have installed mods on their server.

modern nymph
#

Is it not possible to Host a server directly from my PC anymore? Do I have to buy a server from one of the many providers? If it is possible, anyone got a guide handy?

verbal wraith

im hosting from a home server.. not impossible

#

The guide under the How To's on the Steam forums is still fairly relevant

merry urchin
#

where can i find a better batchfile ( .bat ) ?

merry urchin
#

is there an 4 hours restart batch file for a dedicated server ?

little trench
#

Know anything about Windows batch? Add a loop marker to your batch file, <start server>, 4 hour (14400s) timeout, taskkill, goto loop marker. Very basic way to get what you want, may stop auto restart on crashing as it's untested

merry urchin

do not know very much about the batch scripts no?

merry urchin

Hi

#

anyone having crashes with new update ? got such ingame hangs on a 10-15 minute interval...

inner ermine
#

@eternal breach good evening to you sir!
We are haveng severe issues with our big server after the update...the pings are insane and ai behaves kind of weird..
Could you please tell us what could be the reason of such issues?

eternal breach
#

@inner ermine what CPU does your server use?

#

@magic mauve @inner ermine I had a similar crash followed by a cascade of crashes on different threads with servers using an i7-7700k, was unable to pin down exactly what causes it but moving the servers onto machines with another CPU fixed the issue

magic mauve
#

@eternal breach it's using Intel Core i7 7700k, but i do have crashes on 8700 as well

#

@eternal breach i was able to reduce the amount of crashes by disabling SpeedStep Tech

eternal breach
#

Its definitely PhysX related with Kaby Lake+, I need to get a dev build out in debug config so I can get a useful dump to look into it further

magic mauve
#

@eternal breach it's nice to know that you are aware of it

#

@eternal breach i wonder if NVidia GPU addition can help with this issue?

eternal breach
#

possibly, I was also wondering if it was an issue with PhysX on the integrated GPU for Kabylake+, installing the latest intel graphics drivers didn't help the issue for me

magic mauve
#

two more kinds of crashes today. Happened on Core i7 8700. Within 5-6 hours interval. ~100 players on the server.

eternal breach
#

same issue as the other crash, CPU related

#

7700k, 8700k, etc. hang on threads which leads to the threads crashing

final umbra

Hi there!
So I set up a server through PingPerfect about a month ago. It was running good, no issues to speak of really. Then this new update comes out, awesome update btw, and a bunch of new people make all these new servers. And suddenly mine stops letting me in.

I t's not popping up on the list at all.
I tried joining through my friends on steam who are able to find it on the list and get in with no problem and it sends me to some random server I've never heard of called Nosk (AI enabled)

I went onto Ping Perfect to see if there was a fix someone else figured out and they gave a few options.

  1. Going through the steam view menu on the main steam page to find the server and join that way. I found my server, clicked join and nothing happened.
  2. Going to the favorites tab in the view menu and finding the server via the IP/PORT and adding it to faves then joining that way through the menu. Did not work, it ways the server isn't responding. Which is weird because the server is up and others are able to join.
  3. Set the launch options with +connect (the IP/PORT I need to use to get into the server) And it just sends me to the same Nosk server....

I even tried changing one of my servers from Nitrado to run the isle but for some reason that one never even popped up in the list either...

My apologies for the wall of text but I am about at my wits end with this and really hoping you guys can help somehow.

NOTE: sometimes after LOT of refreshing it pops up.
My big concerns are simple, I wanna enjoy the server I am paying for and if it is doing this to me then is it doing it to others that are looking for servers?

hello lunara.
I would try to help you but I need all the information about the server, like what you have set.
It would be nice if you can send me some screens of it so that I can help you.

kind sundial
#

how to give the player or yourself a dinosaur?

verbal wraith
#

you cant really do that right now without physically editing the database using a couple of other pieces of software. eventually there should be server commands that will allow admins to do stuff like that on the fly.

kind sundial
#

but I saw other admins do it on their servers

proud plinth
#

you just go into the database folder, open the file for the desired steam id with any text editor and change it as you wish. but that only works if the player isnt currently ingame, safe logged, or is gone for more than 5 minutes if he didnt safe log. on the next login, the changes take effect

We recently bought a The Isle Server on Nitrado, however each time we try to change to sandbox mode, it is stuck on the Survivial mode. Even choosing progression doesn't change it. Does anyone know the solution for this? 'Cause we paid money for it and now it doesn't seem to work.
We tried changing it even in the game-ini files, but this didn't helped either.
Asking the Nitrado Support didn't help aswell, sadly.

@steady meadow what is the command-line you are using to start the server?

steady meadow

We figured out why, thanks though.

Hi guys anyone here knows if we are getting anymore admins command or what is game now is all we are going to get

pure valve
#

Where do you put the server Ip that I want allocated when hosting a server?

naive onyx
#

afaik you don't give it an allocated ip, it just automatically has one assigned on creation of the server.

vivid wigeon
#

any new maps add to the game

naive onyx
#

Been looking all over the place but I can't find any solution. I am currently trying to run The Isle Dedicated Server with the tool and steam cmd. So far everything seems to be fine but the server itself does not seem to be popping up on the list. I am thinking I have something not setup correctly but nothing seems out of the ordinary. I have looked at most of the guides I can find but they are mostly outdated and don't help with this issue. Any help is appreciated. Don't be shy to tag meh.

pure valve
#

I found out how to allocate ip's for multiple Dedicated Servers. Are you running this on your personal computer or a dedicated server? @naive onyx

naive onyx
#

This is a personal computer

pure valve
#

Get you already create a start.bat file?

#

@naive onyx

naive onyx
#

Nope?

pure valve
#

You can create a start bat and put the ip that it will be running on. This could be the issue as to why it is not appearing online.

#

Ignore my ports I have to change them when running multiple servers.

#

@naive onyx

naive onyx
#

πŸ‘Œ

pure valve
#

Be sure that you add the multihome on your command line. That is where you will put your desired ip.

naive onyx
#

Would the ip be my ip?

pure valve
#

Yes

naive onyx
#

gotcha

#

@pure valve Still does not seem to be popping up

naive onyx
#

Just gonna redo some things, I see something I missed while installing the server

naive onyx
#

Ok yep, refollowed how to do everything, server says its up but it does not show in the list still. Anyone got some more info on what might be the problem?

little trench
#

Are you setting the Ip to your local IP or external IP? Are the three ports you have the the server using allow traffic forwarding to your pc from the modem/router?

naive onyx
#

@little trench I am using the IPV4 Address in the command prompt when you type ipconfig. idk about the 3 port thing. I only have the query port and the query similar to what the person before was showing me. I have gone into the modem and done the whole port forwarding as far as I am aware. I was following mostly from this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/376210/discussions/16/1621724915777338010/ but when I start the server it either does not show up on the server list or if I use the other ip, the one you find online, assuming that's the public one, then it says it can't bind to the port.

little trench
#

www.myip.com/
Will list you external IP, bind the server to it, then so if someone else can see your server out of the house.

www.canyouseeme.org/
To check if your ports are open

#

Default ports unless you change them are 7777 7778 27015 (UDP)

#

C:\isle\TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?MultiHome=x.x.x.x?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778?MaxPlayers=100?game=Survival -log
MultiHome= set to the ip from the myIP site above/

#

If you have the server online, feel free to PM me and will see if it can be found.

naive onyx
#

its saying it cannot find me

little trench
#

Seems fine. Sadly I haven't done home hosting for a long time and don't have to use port forward.
Have you link this to your PC/IP

naive onyx
#

@little trench I have it connected to my PC, but it still is not seeing my service

little trench
#

Your ip is not just "4" ?

naive onyx
#

yeah no, I just covered it :p

little trench
#

Ahh, then somewhere, your ports just aren't opening.

naive onyx
#

How do I solve that?

little trench
#

I don't have that much know how about that side of things. Only done it using telnet directly into the modem and completly openign the ports, that was an much older modem and is quite often locked out on new ones. That way also removed any security.

#

Hoep you work that much out, I can only assume that is your problem with out doign stuff myself :3

naive onyx
#

Ok, thanks for the help. I'll try and see what I can do from here.

naive onyx
#

I got it working, had to enable DMZ in the modem.

little trench
#

So are aware that having it enabled removes and protection the modem gives you making you more vulnerable to attacks or otherwise.

naive onyx
#

Yeah, did some research on it before I did.

inner ermine
#

@astral notch good evening to You!) Could you please spare some of your time to answer a question related to an issue im having with my newly bought the isle server?

naive onyx
#

I’d say ask away

chrome current
#

I know that server owners can enable growth on their sandbox servers, but is there a way to confine that growth to lets say.. only apex carnivores like spino, giga and rex? Or is it a 'everyone grows' kinda deal?

naive onyx
#

Everyone grows, yes. There is no way to make it only certain creatures grow currently.

chrome current
#

ah ok, ty!

naive onyx
#

np :)

left oxide
#

will rcon be worked on again?

naive onyx
#

Rcon came with battleye so I doubt it will be coming back since they moved away from battleye for good reasons, rcon is not really needed since we have server logs and ingame commands.

little trench
#

Out of game admin is very handy, while not needed, very much wanted!

primal pecan

So I have my own server that I set up the isle dedicated on. In my game.ini I have +ServerAdmins=(My steamID) but it is not setting me as an admin. Any idea why?

#

I hope devs know about the fact, that servers on the test level tend to crash a lot, even the pingperfect team told us it is the map's fault and not the servers. Can we hope for a fix soon?

unreal hull

it's a dev test map, you shouldn't really be playing on it honestly.

It worked just fine before the update

Hey, does Realism RP not exist anymore? :0

snow bough
#

There are servers that have realism on them yes, but most of them are suffering low population due to dev kit being broken currently. x.x

#

Tho the entire game atm is sorta suffering low population, including the official servers

wise grail
#

Hello there. I got some trouble with some part of my the isle server. ATM the server show the locked server icon even if he's not locked. No password or steam group in the game.ini file. People can join the server without problem. Did we have other place where we can "lock" the server than a forgot to check?

sonic horizon
#

As a server admin how can one spectate and see all the player names?
Cannot see the option in the /help section

naive onyx
#

\ to spectate, delete key to say player names

sonic horizon
#

Great thank you ^.^
One other thing, i tried following intrustions on steam to give a player a dino. Sadly it did not work.
(Trying to give our admins certain dinos)

If anyone could walk me though it would be great.

naive onyx
#

Which instructions?

sonic horizon
#

@naive onyx

naive onyx
#

You followed the text?

#

What part doesn’t work?

sonic horizon
#

The text part, i had to do the manual entrey thing and upload but when i logged in, it just brought me back to the main menu screen.

naive onyx
#

What dino did you try to be?

sonic horizon
#

Alberto

naive onyx
#

And you used the right class name?

sonic horizon
#

I believe so. I just copy and pasted what was on that forum

naive onyx
#

So you changed the code name from β€œEnterNameHere” to β€œAlbert” I think it was last?

sonic horizon
#

Yep i just sent you what i had typed in

naive onyx
#

πŸ‘

sonic horizon
#

Ok new question, when we load up the sever it has a lock showing on it.
People can still get in without a password which is fine. We do not want it locked. I have done though the files and made sure there is no password but when we restart the server it still shows up.
Any idea how to remove this?

sonic horizon
#

DynamicTimeOfDay
as well is this to controll the day-night?

naive onyx
#

Dynamic time of day currently does not function, but yes this would control the day/night cycle. Also not sure about the lock. Haven't seen that happen with no p/w before. Have you got a steam group linked to it perhaps?

sonic horizon
#

Yea we have a steam grouped link is that what causes it?
@naive onyx

naive onyx
#

Yeah I believe so. It used to lock it to people in the group.

sonic horizon
#

Oooo thank you! I will remove that then i think ^^

wise grail
#

I got the same problem with the lock... And I have no password and steam group..... If this work for you I will be curious to see your game.ini πŸ˜…

sonic horizon
#

We got the lock to go poof ^^ Thanks for helping!!
@wise grail I can send you our game.ini if you want

naive onyx
#

Not a problem πŸ‘

wise grail
#

If you can by mp I will be happy πŸ˜‹ @sonic horizon

Would anyone here happen to have a list of all the database "Character Class" codes for the dinos? Like all the ones currently in-game? Currently trying to get a theri in via database editing just so we can figure out the code, but nothing we're trying is working. If someone already has a put together list, that would be nice

Hello, could you tell me how I can use a dinosaur that is not added to the survival mode? I am an administrator of a server and wanted to know how I do it.

naive onyx
#

@mild night Step 2 of the link I just posted can help you with that ;p

#

@vernal nova Pretty sure legacy is borken right now, especially if you're wanting to host a server in there. Only Public and Development Branch work properly as far as I'm aware and those two are on the same version right now anyway.

sick belfry
#

Can someone point me to a guide on how to set the day night cycle. I am a new isle owner and can't seem to find a clear cut guide for this. Thanks.

naive onyx
#

@sick belfry In the server settings itself it currently doesn’t work at the moment I’m pretty sure.

sick belfry
#

@naive onyx Thanks, that's good to know.

naive onyx
#

The best way to change day/night would be using the ingame commands rn

sick belfry
#

Okay, will do. Thanks again.

naive onyx

hello guys i am new here and really would like to know if anyone knows the path for the thenyaw island map because my hosting website wants a path of that map to let me play on it ^^

naive onyx
#

/Game/TheIsle/Maps/Thenyaw_Island/Thenyaw_Island

barren steppe
#

ohh ill try it out thank you ^^

#

could u tell me pls where you find that one? i mena there's no official site posting them or?

naive onyx
barren steppe
#

OMG SO MUCH THANKS TO YOU thats wonderful -

naive onyx
#

Not a problem πŸ˜„

#

Glad I could help

barren steppe
#

i need some help again o: i am using zap hosting for my server and got the same problem as 4 month before if i try to use the path for thenyaw island and try to start the server the sever is shutting down without any logs left

naive onyx
#

@barren steppe How much RAM have you got on the server?

barren steppe
#

wev got 13 gb and the server is working now but everything is bugged i was changing the name and the map into something dififferent and then the server told me it couldnt start then i was watching the isle server category and found my server with its old name and its old map

naive onyx
#

strange

#

well at least you got it working, never heard of zap hosting so I can't say I know how good or bad it is

barren steppe
#

id like to know which hosting websites the most of you are using iv never tried my luck with ping perfect is it good? i am not sure but it was the first hosting website that existed wasnt it?

naive onyx
#

@barren steppe I have used pingperfect in the past and they're not bad at all. Everything you need is there mostly and very rarely has problems in my experience anyway. I have since moved to hosting via. my own pc since I have upgraded and am able to do so. But pingperfect was a good starting point for me.

barren steppe
#

okay i think i am waiting for the hosting websites response and try to discuss that with them. maybe they are kind enough to refund that server but i couldnt rly use it all all it is bugged as hell 😦

naive onyx
#

Yeah, some websites are a hit and miss from what I have heard, again, can't speak from experience. Only ever went with pingperfect. Hopefully all goes well.

hollow moon
#

What kind of resources does a 50 slot server take, roughly?

violet marsh
#

Depends, what map do you plan on running @hollow moon

hollow moon
#

thenyaw

violet marsh
#

Ok, thenyaw doesn't need as much RAM as V3 does, so what I would do if you have the option and funds are:
CPU priority: High (Highest)
Hosted on: SSD
Extra RAM: 3-4 GB (6 GB)

Everything in parenthesis is an "if you want to be safe and can afford it."

I've found that's a pretty reliable setup, and I know that Ping allows all these options. Were you planning on hosting it yourself, or were you going to use a provider? And if so do you know which one yet?

hollow moon
#

Was considering a 32gb ram dedi from SoYouStart

#

for Isle and MC

#

That good?

#

I could probably do a 100 slot Isle server and 50 slot mc at 32gb ram I'd say?

#

@violet marsh

violet marsh
#

Oh so are you going to run ut from your own system?

hollow moon
#

renting a dedi from a dedi farm

violet marsh
#

Ah. Yeah, looking at them they don't seem to give you a lot of room when it comes to only using what you need. All of their plans looked like they would work fine, so if you can afford it I say go for it.

hexed siren
#

How do I make le server

naive onyx
#

Depends on how you want to host one

#

Directly from your PC or from a server provider online?

hollow moon
#

What would be minimum server specs to run a 50 slot server?

hollow moon
#

I never got any specific specs on my post above just a 'should work' but we might go with eoreality dedi instead of sys which has half the ram.

hollow moon
#

24 hours later and no answer? Lol not many server owners in here?

naive onyx
#

I think its more so you were given an answer. If you want to rent from a server host and if you can afford it and they are good then go for it, otherwise if your computer is good enough then host it from there.

#

I can only say from my experience using Pingperfect it wasn't so much the slots that would be the worry, but moreso the maps. Thenyaw atm doesn't require too much RAM, I think its 4GB? I could be wrong there, but in terms of V3 it needs more then that. But you said you are going for 32 RAM correct? Might be a bit much but again if you can afford it and want to have that much RAM then ok, but I'd say about 8GB maybe for V3? Should be able to change settings anytime though so the settings shouldn't be too much of an issue.

#

@hollow moon

hollow moon
#

Yea sys ran out of 64gb servers so we may go either for the sys 32gb, or eoreality, who is offering us 16gb dedi for the price of their 8gb. @naive onyx

#

Still lots to consider.

naive onyx
#

That's a fair amount of money there xD

hollow moon
#

Yea, but it's up to the other Co owners as well since we're splitting costs

little trench
#

Last I Looked at V3, just loading up took 7GB of memory on windows, add extra for connecting players. Games like CSS 50-70MB per player, can give that as a guide, Isle doesn't use as much last I looked. 16 will be good for the isle. 8 might be issues.

arctic apex
#

My friend and I have noticed that our server lock hasnt been working, and it doesnt appear to be working for most other servers who have chosen this option. Is that machanic currently not working or perhaps we're doing it incorretly?
You're supposed to link it to a Steam Group # correct?

eternal breach
#

You are but that feature is currently unsupported, I need to add it back in after recent engine changes

arctic apex
#

Okay great. Thank you @eternal breach

hollow moon
#

@little trench So your saying all 16gb (minus 2 or 3 for OS) would be enough for a decent sized one? How many slots would you say? [Please @ me or I won't see for a long time]

mossy moon
#

Umm how would I get my server to the dev branch map type? I'm new to this... Sorry

naive onyx
#

onto the dev map? or onto dev branch?

mossy moon
#

Erm.....dev map? I have a server under pingperfect. And I downloaded the dev update. But its not showing in my servers... so I was wondering how to change that.

naive onyx
#

So you have the DV_TestLevel in the commandline manager selected?

#

also if its not showing up in the server list try restarting the server

mossy moon
#

Oh! thank you ^___^

naive onyx
#

Not a problem :)

little trench
#

16GB inclusive of windows should give plenty of room to have high player count. I haven't ran a server for a little while now. While it uses a decent chunk of ram, it's mostly CPU intensive. An e3-1270v2 started to struggled with 80+ con-current players. Not sure how much it has changed, as that was back from when Redwoods V2 came out. & only asingle thread was used. @hollow moon

hollow moon
#

Hmm, SYS uses a i7-8700k on their 64gb dedi if we go with that, but eoreality uses a processor similar to that you posted.

arctic apex
#

Recently updated and restarted our Pingperfect server, but it's not showing up on the server list in game. Any troubleshooting tips?

mossy moon
#

Having the same problem as Super-who-locked.

arctic apex
#

@mossy moon We reached out to PingPerfect and they got it all figured out for us!

mossy moon
#

thanks @arctic apex

stark apex
#

Hey (I know this is not the good subject) buthow to use admin command (like fly,tp,seeing player and IA)

#

but how*

naive onyx
#

@stark apex Do /help if you’re an admin to see a full list of commands ingame. In terms of seeing player/ai names the default key is the delete key, and to go into spectator mode it’s the \ key. To teleport to the area where you are in spectator it’s just SHIFT \ and if it’s an area you can tp too your dinosaur will appear there.

stark apex
#

Thanks and help I write this in a chat ?

naive onyx
#

Just /help in chat yeah

hollow moon
#

Who here has experience with CitidelServers? They any good if we went with them instead of a dedi? (We have the dedicated core selected)

naive onyx
#

I’ve heard of them, seen what there options are, they don’t appear to have a ram option? I’m unsure how that side of things works but I assume it’s gotta work somehow. I’d say most server hosts are fairly similar, just the difference is pricing and maybe support, sometimes functions that are meant to work don’t work or just aren’t there. I haven’t personally hosted or heard anything about them but I only went through one soooo xD but yeah maybe someone else here knows of them and whether it’s better or whatnot.

hollow moon
#

Cause we can get 50 slots (till we average say 30 or 40 then need more slots) with a dedicated core for $50/mo

#

right now the 2 of us can't afford more than 60/mo between us.

#

But once we get more activity, and hopefully some donations, we can upgrade to something better.

naive onyx
#

Have you considered hosting a server from your computer?

hollow moon
#

neither of our internets could handle it

#

at home I get 5 up

#

and if I wanted to stream, I'd have to turn the server off

#

so not really an option for us

naive onyx
#

I see

hollow moon
#

SoYouStart ran out of 64gb ram machines within 24 hours lol

#

or we might have gone for that.

naive onyx
#

Yeah

hollow moon
#

Is PingPerfect a more popular choice? How smooth do they run with like 30+ players?

naive onyx
#

I do see a fair amount of people go with pingperfect yeah

hollow moon
#

cept they're a bit more expensive, by like $10/mo with a similar setup

#

For Thenyaw would the default ram allocation be enough for PingPerfect? spyrothink

naive onyx
#

I never had too many issues with them

hollow moon
#

doesn't say what the default allocation is

naive onyx
#

Uhh, I think I had like 8gb on thenyaw? Not sure if you could go lower or not

#

It is a fairly small map so idk

hollow moon
#

They gave you 8gb w/ pingperfect? How many average players?

We want to make a server with zero lag or as close to zero as possible πŸ˜›

#

But still stick within 50-60/mo range

naive onyx
#

I think at one point we got a full 30 players, never averaged at that though.

#

And yeah you can go higher for ram

hollow moon
#

and no real complaints of lag?

naive onyx
#

I just chose to do 8 since it was the cheapest I could go

#

The only issue with lag would be if there was too many bodies lying around but that’s expected

hollow moon
#

yea, I guess I mean connection lag, not so much framerate

naive onyx
#

Yeah that’s what I mean

#

For some reason people complained their ping was higher and when the bodies were gone they stopped

hollow moon
#

Did you use the standard option or 'extreme performance' datacenters?

naive onyx
#

I just used the slandered I think

hollow moon
#

hmm, looks like we can get a 50 slot, w/ SSD set to Yes, and High Priority CPU for like $46/mo

#

that's affordable for us

naive onyx
#

That’s including the ram or no?

hollow moon
#

that's with default ram option

#

since it doesn't say how much ram you get to start

naive onyx
#

Hmm

hollow moon
#

But CitidelServers can do 50 slots with a completely dedicated core for $50/mo

#

in Texas which is the middle of the 3 owners, so we'd focus on US players but ofc, anyone can join from anywhere.

naive onyx
#

Yeah

hollow moon
#

Don't really need 'dedicated IP' right? Just search for or find server by name?

naive onyx
#

Yeah don’t need need ip

#

Server name is easier to search by

hollow moon
#

saves $3/mo πŸ˜›

naive onyx
#

Yeah xD

hollow moon
#

I wonder... with citadel... if we have 'dedicated core' do we need to set cpu priority?

#

I wouldn't think so.

naive onyx
#

You wouldn’t think so but you never know

hollow moon
#

So many choices. So hard to pick lol

naive onyx
#

Yeah

#

I think the best way to go is just get what you can afford and think will work and if it doesn’t work out things can be upgraded/downgraded when necessary

hollow moon
#

Yea. I'll get back to my co owners and let them know.

naive onyx
#

Alright, good luck πŸ‘

hollow moon
#

Thanks! We had to kick one of the potential co-owners because he refuses to support Isle lol

#

so it went from 3 way split to 2 way.

naive onyx
#

Ouch

hollow moon
#

still waiting on them to confirm we want to go through with what we have selected haha

hollow moon
#

Now I'm waiting on one to get off work, haha.

naive onyx
#

haha

hollow moon
#

Hey @naive onyx how would we increase the ai spawns?

#

Is 100 the limit of spawns or a percentage?

naive onyx
#

The 100 is the limit of spawns yes

#

there should be another option that is like 1.0 or something that's the rate at which they spawn

hollow moon
#

yea, we want to have enough food for our carnivores.

#

Do you have a config you wanna share?

#

for rates so I can learn how it works

#

like we want longer days and shorter nights

not like bermuda which have like 2x night 1x day xD

naive onyx
#

I'm pretty sure atm its not working correctly. But I just have the AI at 300 at 20.0. But like I said I am not sure if it is actually working or not.

hollow moon
#

doesn't generate a lot of lag right?

#

50 slots with dedicated core

#

wanna join our server discord for help with initial setup? I can dm it to you

naive onyx
#

alright

hollow moon
#

We just did a 'steam update' so it is fully up to date. Stable branch.

#

From CitadelServers.

#

@little trench do you know anything about this?

#

Tried lowering the steam 'automatic pings per minute' and lowered that a couple times

white kite
#

did you do a restart after the update @hollow moon ?

hollow moon
#

yes, 4 times

#

and even tried switching it to beta/dev branch and stolid can't find it

#

server restart or game or both @white kite

#

cause we've tried both

#

server is idling around 2.25gb ram

#

(8% ram usage roughly)

white kite
#

im not too familiar with server hosting, dint know if the issue is the server not having the proper settings or if its a game related issue dondiThink

hollow moon
#

Stolid says config looks normal

hollow moon
#

and no response to ticket in 30 min, not sure what to do.

#

Anyone? Paid $50 for this server and we want it to work lol

violet marsh
#

@hollow moon which provider did you end up choosing?

#

oops nevermind just saw

#

See if they have something involving changing a command line

hollow moon
#

PingPerfect is giving us a 48 hour trial. If it works, we'll put up a dispute on paypal for citadel

violet marsh
#

Ok, are you running the Thenyaw map?

hollow moon
#

and change the commandline to what? I can change it

#

yea

violet marsh
#

Ok, now are you wanting it on the public branch, or the dev branch?

hollow moon
#

we tried both branches

#

but I'm downloading beta so lets try that

violet marsh
#

No, don't

#

beta is so broken

hollow moon
#

but I'm already 80% done downloading it

#

lol

violet marsh
#

Just update it to dev branch and tell me when it finishes downloading

#

Believe me, you don't want beta

hollow moon
#

that's what I meant

violet marsh
#

wait

#

fuck

#

I'm thinking legacy

#

nevermind

hollow moon
#

beta is the term on steam

violet marsh
#

yeah keep downloading beta

hollow moon
#

3gb left to download on my end haha

violet marsh
#

Ok, now on the server how did you last update it? Or did you update it at all?

hollow moon
#

I ran the steam update 2x

#

once on stable

#

once on dev

#

(as in another running it after initial dl)

violet marsh
#

Ok, give me a sec and I'll put together a list of quick instructions

hollow moon
#

alright. that config txt I posted up there is the settings we want

violet marsh
#

Ok, first I think there was an issue with your config file, so I deleted some things I think were causing compatibility issues, and left everything else, trying not to delete anything I don't think would cause issues. so delete everything in the old one (via the text editor), and paste what's in this one.

hollow moon
#

what line in particular?

violet marsh
#

Ok, so first to make sure you and your server are on the right branch. From your main Pingperfect gamepanel,

  • find the button that says Legacy/Beta update, and click it.
  • From there, use the dropdown menu to select development.
  • Then, use the execute command to run it through.
  • Let the wheel quit turning, and then go back to the main Game Services screen.
  • From there, stop the server using the big red stop button.
  • After it's stopped, let it set for about 30 seconds to a minute.
  • Once that's done, start back up the server, and give it a minute or two.
  • When you're done downloading the beta for the game, you should be able to find your server in the list. If you can't, say something.
#

^^^ is for after you change the config file

#

and there were a few lines, such as the battleye being set to true, and then there were three : ` marks before the main block at the top of the file

hollow moon
#

I've already ran that bit to enable dev build. I always turn the server off before running things like that.

#

ah, discord formatting ```

violet marsh
#

Yeah. Anyways, copy and paste that file exactly and it should work. I believe the problem was with the config file, but it wouldn't hurt to run the development update again just in-case.

hollow moon
#

yea but I still think we'll move to pingperfect

#

their ticket response times are miles better

violet marsh
#

Ping perfect is, as far as I can tell, one of the most widely used services to run the Isle, and I imagine that has a reason behind it such as the ticket responses. Their customizability is also pretty great.

hollow moon
#

@violet marsh Hmm, is this normal? I waited 45 seconds before starting.

violet marsh
#

What do you mean? Was it a crash or?

hollow moon
#

it hasn't gone past 4.5mb of ram usage

violet marsh
#

You've lost me, what's happened? Did the server crash, did you crash, did it work fine?

hollow moon
#

oh there, it's slower at starting up than it showed for citadel. Just now updated to 300mb

#

citadel showed 2gb almost within 30s

violet marsh
#

Do you just mean downloading the dev update?

hollow moon
#

That's done. I waited 45s then pressed start on the server

violet marsh
#

Ok, and you still can't find the server?

hollow moon
#

apparently it's stuck at 300mb now

#

yea, not showing

violet marsh
#

What's stuck at 300mb?

naive onyx
#

he's talking about the cpu or RAM usage bars on the side

#

I think

hollow moon
#

ram usage

#

it showed about 2gb on citadel for idling

#

but here its not showing even 1gb lol

#

but at least they're responding to my replies to the ticket within 5 min lol

#

vs 1 hour and STILL no response on citadel

violet marsh
#

refresh the page and see if the value changes any great amount

hollow moon
#

320.63 mb ram, still

violet marsh
#

Ok. What's the commandline you're using to run the game right now?

#

server my bad

hollow moon
#

apparently NONE were selected by default O_o

#

I picked thenyaw

#

/Game/TheIsle/Maps/Thenyaw_Island/Thenyaw_Island?MaxPlayers=50?game=Survival

violet marsh
#

Yeah, that would probably be the reason why XD Yeah that starts the game in survival gamemode. Were you wanting survival? or sandbox or progression?

#

can we even host progression servers anymore

#

i'm not sure

hollow moon
#

yea survival

#

the log looks the same tho

violet marsh
#

The log is generally supposed to look like that as far as I remember

#

Have you checked to see if it's up and running yet?

hollow moon
#

They're checking on their end.

hollow moon
#

they got it working @violet marsh

violet marsh
#

πŸ‘ Glad to hear

hollow moon
#

is there a list of admin commands I can view?

#

like to kill myself? My other owner is a para and I'm a rex lol

violet marsh
#

No way to kill yourself, but if you type /help into chat it'll show you a list of available commands

#

and you can use the \ key to go into spectator cam

hollow moon
#

great \ is set to my discord chat overlay lol

violet marsh
#

and if you'd like to teleport to the location of our spectator cam, hold down shift and press the \ again

hollow moon
#

lol need to change keybind again

#

i set it to shift \

#

xD (for discord overlay)

violet marsh
#

rip my dude

hollow moon
#

hmm not many commands

#

how do you change someone's dino type? no command list?

white kite
#

iirc its done by editing the database

hollow moon
#

fun, something to learn, that involves restarting the server I assume?

white kite
#

ay back in 2016 that's what i would do, but i presume someone must have made a better way since then

hollow moon
#

cause having to restart server just to change a donors dino could be irritating

#

if there's like 20-30 on

#

or more

white kite
hollow moon
#

Thanks!

#

i'll bookmark it

hollow moon
#

Hey guys! I do not recommend Citadel Servers. It took them over 3.5 hours to respond to our initial ticket telling them our server would not function or boot up.

#

Then after 4 hours, they said 'we fixed it' but I don't have a way to confirm since we've moved to PingPerfect. Much better service.

#

4 hours, no acknowledgment? Is that how you treat customers? Nope.

merry urchin
#

Lmao short wait my ass, ping perfect took literally one minute to help us with the server. And no more than 5 minutes on any ticket. 4 hours is not acceptable.

#

I can safely say, that this right here... Ain't it chief.

hollow moon
#

^^
We will always recommend against purchasing from these guys to anyone who asks here.

#

OMFG. They have a clause that if you chargeback to them, they can hit you with a 100 euro charge.

What kind of company does that?

https://www.citadelservers.com/master-billing-agreement (section 10)

dire spindle
#

Damn. Thanks for the warning, not that I'd host but still

hollow moon
#

That's not the way to treat customers.

#

They should, at the very least, acknowledge they're working on it.

#

But nope, zip, no response for 4+ hours.

#

and the ticket was marked "HIGH Priority"

inland flower
#

That's really crappy man. Sorry that had to go down like that.

#

That unprofessional response makes me feel like they get a lot of that.

little trench
#

@hollow moon Citadel servers are just a joke. Something did boot regardless, to why you couldn't see ti is another problem

#

Ordered a small server to try in Australia. Server ended up being in the UK. The furthest location they have from Australia. In ticket reply after several DAYS. They claim they couldn't change the IP on Isle servers due to the game. No IPs in Aus(Which was very false doing it myself in testing)

#

No refund, and refused to. I had a server despite being half a world away, they had their money is all they cared about

naive onyx
#

damn

merry urchin
#

Wow, that sucks. The strange part is they did change our ip address to fix it O_o why wouldn't they do the same to you. This company man. They really are garbage.
