Suggest adding 5 or going up to the nearest 10th for ease. (Thus you'll also have to open those new ports)

agile chasm
#

Anyone know the requirements needed to run a server on a private rig?

regal latch
#

Dependss on how many players you want with you

weak arch
#

v3 8gb and 3.5ghz cpu for 100 slot

#

and 5mb upload

merry urchin
#

My server isn't showing up

#

What can be wrong?

agile chasm
#

so a rig with 16gig mem and a ryzen 7 1800x overclocked should do fine?

merry urchin
#

@merry urchin What hosting are you using?

worldly herald
#

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a list with commands other than the /help ones. Im trying to go into spectator cam but Im not sure how. Plus theres something you can press to see player's names pop up for a second

#

also what are weather conditions are there? so far I only know of severe

regal latch
#

Spectator is \

#

To show player names it's the DEL key but they only show in Spectator mode

#

Otherwise, /help is all of the other commands.

merry urchin
#

is there a video tutorial for hosting on pingperfect?

naive onyx
#

Also if you type /weather it should show all conditions

merry urchin
#

what is the most efficent way to get active players?

ancient grove
plain surge
#

@little trench So you mean 7780 and 27020? Going to try it out anyways but if you could make sure I understood correctly I'd appreciate it.

#

@ancient grove Dude that's pretty sweet

ancient grove
#

it's developer by @strange rose

little trench
#

@plain surge yeah thats what I mean

plain surge
#

@little trench Thanks my dude, you think that would work for conan exiles too?

little trench
#

Most likely. Pretty sure same command line from memory

merry urchin
#

how does that give active players to the server?

merry urchin
#

does it even work

#

any tutorial?

#

@ancient grove

regal latch
#

I don't think that works since the Devkit was removed?

violet marsh
#

It's been proven that you can still upload working mods, at least until a new update gets released. Was proven by the person who wrote that mod there, actually. It was that winter map mod that featured freezing and all that

#

as for how this is done, pathos hasn't shed any light on that, but they've managed somehow

regal latch
#

The instructions are on GitHub

#

However, with a recent Steam ban cycle happening and people getting banned from the Isle without knowing why, I'd be reluctant to inject DLL's into the game

#

Unless the Devs state it's OK but even then, a Steam ban is not reversible

ancient grove
#

The inject DLL is to the server. Not to the client.

chrome crypt
#

can any help me?
does anyone know good AI spawn settings .. so far it is on AIMax = 100 and AIspawnrate = 1.0

north rapids
#

Does anyone have recommendations on which hosting service to use? We are currently looking at g-portal, gtxgaming, pingperfect and Nitrado. Thoughts?

chrome crypt
#

i host at G-Portal

#

But it can not be net, that nothing comes forever ...

naive onyx
#

@chrome crypt the ai settings do not function. Ai spawn when a carnivore is lower than 70% hunger.

#

I recommend Pingperfect, didnโ€™t have many if any issues and everything is pretty simple to use. @north rapids

north rapids
#

Ty. Any tips on advertisement? I guess getting players to join is the hardest part

naive onyx
#

@north rapids The best places for advertising is either Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/376210/discussions/13/ or the newish reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/theisleservers/

#

and yeah it is the hardest part but these should help

north rapids
#

Yh I promoted there. Sadly they don't allow it on the subreddit

merry urchin
#

[MOD] on a server, do the players have to change their name, or is there a setting in pingperfect? or something like this. ping me pls

chrome crypt
#

@naive onyx thx, very much !

loud spade
#

@merry urchin Use quotes if your talking about in game commands

merry urchin
#

explain?

#

is that a server setting or?

loud spade
#

This is why I own my server and dedicate time to train my staff, servers with staff who dont know commands arent doing it right

#

@merry urchin What are you talking about, explain your situation

merry urchin
#

no i dont mean commands

loud spade
#

Ill help teach you since the owner of the server your on cant

#

what do you mean then?

merry urchin
#

i see that there is a option to give people admin and moderator

#

so im asking whats the difference

#

and is there a option to add [MOD] in front of peoples names

#

or do they have to change their steam name

loud spade
#

no

#

Theyd have to change their names, and moderators have almost 0 perms in server

merry urchin
#

and most effective way to get more players. the server has some population but not enough for constant play

#

ok ty for explainning

loud spade
#

what do you mean most effective way to get more players?

merry urchin
#

get more people to play on the server

loud spade
#

do you own the server?

merry urchin
#

yes

#

ive promoted it a lot

#

the steam discussion and reddit

#

and invited my friends

loud spade
#

I suggest you get pingperfect and mastering that under your belt before you start trying to get more players. I dont think you know what youre getting into

merry urchin
#

i have pingperfcet

loud spade
#

Do you know how to create automatic server restarts, change AI rate and what the AI rate means, or even how to inject users as a dino?

#

@merry urchin \

merry urchin
#

yes

loud spade
#

but you dont know what the difference between what a mod in server vs what an admin in server is?

#

and whats the player cap on your server?

#

@merry urchin

merry urchin
#

yes

#

i know

#

120 currently but i can increase it later

loud spade
#

Were you an admin on a server before you created your own? @merry urchin

#

Im not gonna help promote another server while I have my own, thats all up to you man and how you approach it, because its sounding to me like you just created a server cuz you wanted one with no experience at all dealing with pingperfect

merry urchin
#

how do I host my own server without paying

merry urchin
#

yeah sure, knowing the "experience" with pingperfect is what helps you a lot.

regal latch
#

DEvs have stated the AI doesnt' change even if you change the INI file so.............

naive onyx

weak arch
#

whats the recommended ram for v3?

#

i mean thenyaw

violet marsh
#

4gb would work. Havent had troubles using that on v3, should work on thenyaw

steel mica
#

heya. Im hosting a Server with daylie 100 players. But its really laggy. 110 Slots would result in 1k ping. Other Servers got 150 slots and a ping in range of 600 / 800. Is there something in the settings what i need to edit ?

Root resources

Intel Core i7-4770
2x HDD SATA 2,0 TB Enterprise

merry urchin

1k ping on TAB isnt real. the ping in group is the real one

rustic flame

is there any good link that explains how to set up a server

strange rose
merry urchin

what are sub users on pingperfect. what do they do. and what can they do. are they like people who can check the panel and do things? with the server. what are their limits

does anyone know why i can not update my server out of 0.1.52.9

little trench
#

Sub user is another login to the panel same as you would. They only have access to what you allow them to have our do. There's a bunch of tick boxes to allow deny things. Restart server, config, CMD line, etc... @merry urchin

merry urchin
#

what do i need to tick so that they can change peoples dinos?

#

@little trench

Hey what's the admin command to spectat ?

naive onyx
#

not a command it's the \ key

rigid juniper
#

So is everyone hosting their own servers and paying extra money just to continue to play The Ilse? is this what everyone is doing wight now?

north rapids
#

Anyone here hosting on Nitrado? What is the standard amount of RAM you get on Nitrado? I can't find it anywhere. Also how much RAM would you need to run 100 slots on V3? and 200?

How to disable growth on the sandbox?

merry urchin
#

Hello all,

Is there a way to disable AI spawn or reduce them ?

It seem bServerAI, ServerAIMax, bServerAIPlayerSpawns and ServerAIRate don't work at all.
I'd like to disable AI, so I just need bServerAI works. Have you ever tried to disable AI and did you got the same problem ?

sacred mountain
#

What server host are you using?

naive onyx
#

AI settings cannot be configured anymore.

sacred mountain
#

i know that pingperfect has a setting in the ini to disable AI not sure if it works tho

naive onyx
#

It doesn't. AI settings haven't been able to be changed for a while now.

sacred mountain
#

ahh okay good to know thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

naive onyx
#

No problem ๐Ÿ‘

#

@rapid iron bServerGrowth=false

#

@rigid juniper not sure if I fully get what you mean

merry urchin
#

OK thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

If AI settings cannot be configured anymore, is it possible to downgrade the isle version on a server ?
Is it possible for players to play with an older version ? For example, are there any launcher to play the game without use steam ?

I have a question. How do you teleport to coordinates? I only know the way that you can teleport to players but already saw people (admins) just randomly teleport to coordinates. Don't know if that's the right channel, but idk which one i should take x.x Sry in advance if it's the wrong one

north rapids
#

You can't, you can go into spectator mode and then teleport where you are

glossy ocean
#

And how you do that?

#

@north rapids

north rapids
#

@glossy ocean Press "" and "shift + " for the teleport

#

backslash and shift + backslash

loud spade
#

Oh the tp command

#

Best thing in the world for a server owner or admin

glossy ocean

#

@loud spade I mean a dev confirmed they didn't do anything

unreal hull
#

placebo effect is an amazing thing

hollow moon
#

as an estimate

#

Okay, they're saying its a E5-2670 v2 @ 2.5 Ghz for the CPU on the vps

regal latch
#

@Kenson probably good to 100 players on V3, more on Thenyaw

little trench
#

Last heard Isle server still only single thread usage. The lower clock speed could come up as a problem.

willow frigate
#

Does this alternate database function work? I cant seem to get it working.

#

Never mind read back and found the answer.

regal latch
#

Nope, it does not

#

Just to confirm it

hollow moon
#

Hmm, they're currently on PingPerfect, which is probably 50 or 60/mo at least. That VPS should get at least same performance prolly?

How to make someone spino but also be a hatchling on pingperfect

sick solar
#

@merry urchin

merry urchin
#

thx u very much

sick solar
#

๐Ÿ˜‰

merry urchin
#

It didnt reallly show me how to make someone hatchling

#

@sick solar

sick solar
#

It doesn't tell you exactly how to do it, what I would do since I don't know the specific text for hatchling, it tells you when someone is a UtahJuvS, to change them to rex you would replace Utah > RexJuvS. So for now until I can find the specific text, I would find someone on the server who's a hatchling and see what their code says instead of Juv

north rapids
#

@naive parcel SpinoJuv is the command I think

white kite
sick solar
#

The more ya know. thank you ๐Ÿ˜„

white kite
#

and there is no hatchling for spino, only juvie iirc

sick solar
#

yes, only Juv now that someone else mentioned it.

#

Juv straight into adult

merry urchin
#

Ik theres like only juve but when I enter in SpinoJuv The growth is akready finished so u can just prss grow i want it to be like i start as juve and grow then to adult

sick solar
#

did you type in SpinoJuvS or just SpinoJuv

merry urchin
#

oh just spinojuv

sick solar
#

Try SpinoJuvS and let me know

merry urchin
#

ok

white kite
#

@merry urchin you have to modify the ''growth'' too , instead of 1.0 try something like 0.3 , tje juvie spino will start smaller and grow as time goes

north rapids
#

So I've been doing everything to grow my server community and it has been quite succesful. But we need way more. What are the chances of getting a dev to join our server with a hypo? dead serious over here

sick solar
#

More than likely 0.5%, you are free to message Punchpacket as he's the one and only dev you can pm and graciously ask him. @north rapids

naive parcel

Why was I pinged @north rapids

north rapids

I don't know friend.

Well. You pinged me. Prolly wrong player, idk

I was simply curious

tropic pine
#

<@&401466542140817419> would it be ok to put a link here, for people to go upvote to get a server provider to start hosting The Isle servers by chance?

hollow moon
#

which provider btw?

regal latch
#

not here but you could use the Steam Forums for the Isle

hollow moon
#

cause I had a horrible experience with Citadel. They scammed me and a couple friends and ran off with $45 of our money.

#

Never fixed the server, never worked with DEFAULT settings.

little trench
#

Citadel are no good. By their policy and sh... poor way they do things thought they would monitor PayPal claims more closely. Mine went though without response and got money back in the end

hollow moon
#

We never got our money back, those scam artists.

#

And I had to pay one of the 3 people we split with their money back for that month so I lost even more.

#

Anyhow I'm off to bed now.

citadels customer service is aboslute fucking garbage our previous server was getting ddosed (through their ddos protection) and than the person kept our server down for 2 days. citadel would usually take around 8-12 hours for any response and basically toward the end said this guy knows what they are doing we will have to work on the server and offered half of our monthly bill as refund.

#

Good Evening folks, I am looking for an updated dedicated server setup tutorial for this amazing game | will be using tcadmin if any other tcadmin specific changes need to be made to get it fired up (DM's are enabled for me on this discord ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

regal latch
#

Without a Dev kit tapping into other things doesn't work

#

I'm not sure TCADMIN will work with The Isle

silver gulch
#

What kind of system would I need to host and play on the same server?

regal latch
#

Core i5-i7, 8-16GB of RAM, GTX970 or better vid card. SSD recommended.

silver gulch
#

Only thing I have is an HP Laptop 4gb ram Intel Core i7 lol I'm assuming a Desktop with the provided specs is the way to go

regal latch
#

Yeah

#

don't do it on the laptop unless you upgrade the RAM

pale pollen
#

anyone here ever had a nitrado server for this game and know how to change the gamemode?

pliant quiver
#

@regal latch
I got tcadmin to work with the isle server, well "sort of" work, it just wont populate in the in game browser for some reason, thats why i asked for a tutorial, i thought there was a step i missed , it shows up in the steam servers browser, just cant seem to find it in game

regal latch
#

Are you running this on your own PC or a remote PC or ?

#

I would change the ports in the INI file and see if it shows. Use something different than the tutorials

#

@pliant quiver

pliant quiver
#

@regal latch I havent dabbled much with it, only spent and hour creating a tcadmin config for it, its a remote owned pc, ill probably have a look at it again later and dabble some more. im going to attack it tonight roughly 11pm (utc+2)

was asking with the "tcadmin" reference because maybe just maybe someone else in here has it and maybe, juuuuuuust maybe they would like to lend some help with it DerpyBlob , ive opened DM's from this discord

#

Thanks for the shortened name @ person responsible, (forgot to change it)

regal latch
#

The ports are configured in the start.bat if you use it, if not there, then whatever startup script you use. Most people either use a third party host or SteamCMD

#

Just as an example

#

start /wait TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?Port=7779?QueryPort=7780?MaxPlayers=100?game=Sandbox -log | set /P "="

pliant quiver
#

hmm maybe i should try and launch it with a batch file instead. will try it tonight and keep you posted portal_parrot

regal latch
#

Definitely

pliant quiver
#

im actually going to fire up one quick to test it aniblobpopcorn

regal latch
#

Here's an example BTW

#

You will need to change a few things because it's set to Thenyaw

#

@pliant quiver

pliant quiver
#

Yeah i saw that one, ive used a similar batch file now. Its the same as when i ran it on tcadmin, showing in steam server browser but not in game

#

Both tcadmin and running a batch file outside tcadmin does the same same state same outcome.

regal latch
#

That indicates the server is running on the PC

pliant quiver
#

Yep, i hope its not a broken server list :/

regal latch
#

Give it a minute to show in the server browser. If it's still not showing, try changing the ports

#

MAKE SURE the query and standard port are different

pliant quiver
#

Aight, ill start one again (this time with tcadmin) will leave it on till tonight and then check if its showing

regal latch
#

It shouldn't take more than 1 minute to show in the list

pliant quiver
#

Alright ๐Ÿ˜ƒ thanks, will keep you posted

regal latch
#

if it doesn't show, I'd guess a port issue

#

because the server is running

pliant quiver
#

Yep, could be, maybe there are other locations i havent set. (like other configs that need to be added in)

regal latch
#

Liuke the Game.ini?

pliant quiver
#

Oh hold on a second, where do i set the IP ? Multihome ?

regal latch
#

Oh, get rid of the multihome part

#

Use the line that I have

#

No IP address set

pliant quiver
#

Ive got multiple ip's added on the nic

regal latch
#

It should look like this, with ports and map of your choice

#

start /wait TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?Port=7779?QueryPort=7780?MaxPlayers=100?game=Sandbox -log | set /P "="

#

The Multihome part screws up the server and it doesn't work

#

learned that the hard way

pliant quiver
#

ah, so no multihome, it will use the OS ip which is fine

#

will try now ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

regal latch
#

No, don't do anything with the Engine.ini

#

It's literally the Game.ini for server options

#

and a start.bat script with the port and map settings

pliant quiver
#

Ah okay, less adding variables in for me lol
will skip engine.ini

regal latch
#

I never touched the engine.ini file

#

I only did Game.ini and a start script

pliant quiver
#

Aight thanks will do that

pliant quiver
#

Okay, its started and showing in steam list [like before], just going to wait and see if it will show in game

pliant quiver
#

@regal latch Yeah its a no no, not populating in the list.

CPU and ram too

@fallow reef you can either host it for free on your own computer if you have a good one
(I would suggest following this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359 )

or rent one from a server provider such as Pingperfect.

@opaque iris Not sure. But I would assume not.

uneven tide
#

whats the best way to setup a dedicated server? is there a liunx server?

shy ether
#

@uneven tide Are you looking to host one from your own computer or are you renting a server from a server host?

#

Also, we don't have support for linux-based servers any longer.

uneven tide
#

then I need a windows server

#

we have troubles at the momment if the playercount reaches 90+

shy ether
#

Are you renting a server right now?

uneven tide
#

we have a linux root, with a virtual windows system

regal latch
#

Oh, that's why. Best to run it on WIndows OS without virtualization. Or give more resources to the VM like CPU cores and RAM.

shy ether
#

Yeah

#

Bacon's got you there

regal latch
#

What's your current hardware?

uneven tide
#

the 'the isle' server took about 30% cpu and 800mb of ram

#

and about 4 mbit of network traffic

#

the server has 24 gb ram

regal latch
#

What does the virtualization overhead cost though? That eats up CPU cycles and is less efficient than a native OS. What processor is this on?

urban peak
#

My friend has a rental server and she's having trouble with changing the map from Thenyaw to V3, and when someone dies it doesn't leave ribs and just disappears completely when the person who died respawns.

naive onyx
#

In the config what is the ServerDeadBodyTime or similarโ€™s number? Set it to 0 for no despawn but normal decay times iirc

forest veldt
#

So Dondi's last announcement kinda conflicts with our server host that add's a configurable number to the AI? Is our server host lying then? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

glossy sequoia
#

Changing the number does nothing, so yea pretty much lol

#

The option is there, because it used to be an option, but it's broken or something right now, so it will probably be back as a usable option later

Can I run a dedicated server on a dual XEON E5320 server without lag or performance problems up to 75 players?
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/28031/intel-xeon-processor-e5320-8m-cache-1-86-ghz-1066-mhz-fsb.html

regal latch
#

I wouldn't, CPU speed is pretty low. And that hardware is also very old, like 10 years old.

#

I'm gonna stick with no. that CPU was released in 2006, actually. Single core performance is terrible, which The Isle relies on. THe Isle recommends 3.0 GHZ or faster.

Hello ,when switching from V3->thenyaw how does the player locations/spawns work with the new coordinates? / does the player database files get a reset?

vast marten
#

how can u host one that people can join me?

#

just like One in the Box sort of

little trench
#

Believe the database saves per map. So they are seperate saves and both there. Not sure someone might be able to confirm. If you still want v3 saves, rename the database folder to back up then swap the map :)

regal latch
#

There is no database. If your server hasn't loaded the map before everyone will have new spawns.

#

Everything is Json files now, per player, with coords.

little trench
#

Need a quick hand. Been helping someone to do a home hosted server.
Ports are forward in modem and firewall (non-defaults). Server is online.
I can connect outside of their network, another friend can connect, but they can't themselves on the same computer.

#

What could be going wrong here?

regal latch
#

Remove the multihome portion of the ini line.

little trench
#

Multihome was removed as the server wasn't connectable at all.

#

this allowed outside people but not her self in the server

regal latch
#

Different port for query and the other part?

#

Not in front of my PC so can't check an ini...sorry.

I used 7778,7779 and 27016 I think.

#

Never set ports/IP in ini files before and just testing I've done the same setup/ports and no issues

using 8000 27030 opened in firewall.modem as well as game defaults 7777 7778 27015

regal latch
#

Don't use defaults. Other programs use those too. Change them by adding 1 or 10 to each port.

little trench
#

Yes, using 8000 & 27030

regal latch
#

I'd swear there are three ports to list in the file.

#

Port and query port need to be different in the ini file.

#

The start.bat file.

little trench
#

Well in the mean time. Just found out that norton security was installed when asked about other programs and looked in task manager. ๐Ÿคฃ
Never used ini files for port allocation. Asuming you are talking of Engine.ini and setting ports, query port under [url] never used it, only ever did when battleye was a thing

regal latch
#

No. Not engine ini. Dont the mess with engine.ini. it's the start script for the server.....

little trench
#

Don't have the slightest idea where you've set ports in an .ini then. Only ever on a start line without issue

#

So, they can also see the server in steam favourites, sometimes... Can't connect, server info is missing. anyone else can see it..

little trench
#

All fixed now. Some short of weird packet filtering happening in the modem. everyone outside network all good. But nope, can't send data back to the computer xD

copper python
#

What are the min and recommended specs for a 100 count server?

regal latch
#

Same as for the game. If you want to play and game on the same machine, definitely more RAM and a faster CPU.

#

Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 3.0 GHz or faster.
Memory: 8 GB RAM

copper python
#

I've got a spare rig I can use as a host, so that's convenient

regal latch
#

I have a Core i5 4670 OC'd from 3.4 to 4.0 and have a server and play on the same machine. For V3 map, recommend 16 gigs of RAM

copper python
#

If i allocate more resources for the instance will it use them as soon as I allocate them, or will it only use them when needed?

regal latch
#

Like any hardware, it will only use what is needed. However, it sounds like you're going to use a VM which really isn't recommended.

copper python
#

nope, no VM

#

Is there a recommended upload speed for a 100 count server?

regal latch
#

not that I've seen

copper python
#

Ok

#

So I'll assume that I can get by with 15 Mbps up

regal latch
#

Yeah, should be fine

copper python
#

Sweet. Thanks

regal latch
#

Welcome!

merry urchin
#

Hey, i was wondering if anyone can help me out

#

When i give a friend a diff dino, lets say a spino. I have to restart my server then reopen it for them to play with the dino. And i wanna be able for them to just have it after safe logging and going back in

#

anyone got any ideas?

regal latch
#

They need to be logged out when you edit the JSON file.

merry urchin
#

I did that but it still didnt work

regal latch
#

Because when they log out, it overwrites the file.

merry urchin
#

oo

regal latch
#

They weren't at the character selection screen?

#

They need to completely leave the server

merry urchin
#

so safe log?

#

i also have another question how do you change the safe log timer?

#

the little timer on your log out button

#

once its completely done you safe log

regal latch
#

Game.ini file.

#

ServerLogoutTime=15 for example

#

that's 15 seconds

merry urchin
#

i dont see serverlogouttime

regal latch
#

Logout/safe log yes

merry urchin
#

ServerStartingTime=1350
bServerDynamicTimeOfDay=0
ServerDayLength=60

#

i only se those

regal latch
#

Above that

merry urchin
#

ServerPassword=
ServerSteamGroup=
bFamilySharing=false
bServerDatabase=true
bServerAllowChat=true
bServerGlobalChat=true
bServerExperimental=false
bServerAI=true
ServerAIMax=100
ServerAIRate=1.0
bServerAIPlayerSpawns=false
bServerGrowth=false
bServerScent=false
ServerRespawnTime=30

regal latch
#

Yes, in that section add the ServerLogoutTimer=XX

#

But you'll ahve to restart the server for it to take effect

merry urchin
#

and how do i make my server have high AIs

#

or is that the max?

regal latch
#

There is no such thing as High AI

#

AI is not configurable anymore

#

hasn't been for a while

merry urchin
#

o

#

well shit

#

thanks for letting me know

regal latch
#

Welcome!

merry urchin
#

can i ever dm you if i need any help?

regal latch
#

Sure, or ask here. It's good for everyone to see too in case they have the same questions. ALso, I host my own server on my own PC so I may not be 100% up to speed with a host like PingPerfect.

merry urchin
#

Ayye me too

white kite
#

ill switch here just because it's server related @hollow moon

#

but PP does it without you asking, anyone with their ID set as admins will bypass their player limit, you could have 115/100 players if you have 15 admins.

hollow moon
#

ah okay.

#

They don't want me as an admin till they reopen admin apps, of which then I'll apply.

#

But they do seem to want myself and possibly a couple other streamers to be able to always get on.

white kite
#

I am not sure wether or not non-admins can be given priority though dondiThink

hollow moon
#

Would be a nice addition if it isn't. ๐Ÿ˜›

white kite
#

priority.. I mean reserved slots

hollow moon
#

Yea, I told one of the head admins if they ever needed another admin I'd be willing. I've ran a server in the past but we basically left all settings default.

#

In-game stuff I'm familiar with.

#

anyhow it's midnight here, i'm off to catch some ๐Ÿ’ค

echo lynx
#

How can I look at the map as an admin? :/

regal latch
#

\ key

#

That's spectator mode

#

@echo lynx

#

@regal latch it does not work โ˜น

regal latch
#

Check your keybinds in game for spectator mode.

#

It may be a different key depending on your keyboard layout

hey there. im trying to block the family share. but it wont work. got anyone some hints?

i tryed

both did not work

Nothing you can do at this point. It's been re enabled and only the devs can shut it off.

I made you all a very silly admin guide for when you need to do the admin things.

#

Here you go.

copper python
#

Editing players json files works, correct?

#

example) Changing their dino

yup but the player must not be connected (or have had safelogged if he was on) @copper python

That's perfect. They'll be done at server restart

Are Dino stats adjustable on your own dedicated?

regal latch

Not right now, no.

Is it possible to regress growth with the growth command?

no

#

Have to manually edit the players JSON file with them offline

Is there a config for RCON? Trying to get the ability to see events like players connecting/disconnecting and also command input from a console for the server

regal latch
#

Oh, don't use RCON

#

That was an old anti cheat

#

Now they use VAC

#

Leave that part out

#

owait, wrong thing

#

Hang on

#

This guide has RCON

gritty citrus
#

I have seen on Dondi's streams where is able to view stats of the dino, hp/speed ect. Is that a dev only option or can server admins also access this information? It was real time information

regal latch
#

Character screen?

#

That's the Insert screen

gritty citrus
#

Nope.

regal latch
#

Sorry, Insert button

#

That's all you get, the rest is Dev

gritty citrus
#

Figured, thanks.

little trench
#

There is no rcon, no out if game admin. The link above is rcon though the battleye service that was removed from the game a while back. At the moment only in game admin. And what ever is tracked in saved/logs textiles

Hey guys, just wondering, is there and option to make rain not last as long, because rain has been going on for like an hour on mine,

north meadow
#

I wanna build a server

#

And community, where do I start?

regal latch
#

Start with a community or a group of friends. Then get a server.servers aren't terribly expensive but expect to pay 40 to $100 a month depending on how many players you want on.

#

Unless you have a beastly PC, then consider running your own server

fresh ice
#

I've been at my server for almost a year now, and its not gaining popularity, more or less its fading. It's practically a friend only server. Any way to help?

regal latch
#

Advertising is unfortunately out of our wheelhouse. :( Try some events or dino injections maybe?

fresh ice
#

Thats what i have been but, i guess one day it'll soar if i do em' enough. and yeah i was just asking advice ^-^ lmao

neat ermine
#

Hey, I'm now the co-owner of the Solar Soft Realism server... Does anyone have any tips on how to attract players to come join us? Please @ me if you do.

fresh ice
#

@neat ermine Iโ€™d just do events. Get literally everyone you know to try and participate. Maybe Dino Injections as a reward. Practically what the moderator suggested for me ^^

sick solar
#

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to really stand out compared to the other hundreds of servers that are basically the same thing. Some servers try to entice people with the "HIGH AI" tag, but its no different than any other server. To be fair and honest, unless you're a streamer/youtuber, your server probably isn't going to go anywhere. You can do injections and run events on your server and try to spread it to friends and get them to get their friends

neat ermine
#

Thank you! Yes, we are already doing all of those things. ^^ We also are running a Facebook group with paid advertising.

fresh ice
#

Wish I had paid advertising lol

Hi, got a little question.

is it possible to block family share accounts?

regal latch
#

Unfortunately, not right now.

#

I think the Devs are considering disabling it agian.

#

If there are issues with users you can ban by Steam ID rather than by name

steel mica
#

the problem is, they create so much family share accounts, and can bypass banns, or save some spinos on the family share accounts

#

and ban all the accounts is inpossible we got all days 140 - 150 players

regal latch
#

Yep. Devs know. Family Share was unintentionally reactivated. Unfortunately, we don't have an ETA or firm answer on disabling again.

steel mica
#

hmm. and there is no third party app to filter and block it ?

regal latch
#

Not that I am aware of.

steel mica
#

okay. well thats bad, but i thank you for your time and the infos

regal latch
#

Yes, Family share for this game isn't the best thing. I am pretty sure that sometime in the future it will be disabled or able to be disabled again.

steel mica
#

i hope so ^^

regal latch
#

I hope they bring back the option in the INI file like before.

steel mica

this would help us so much

frail plover

Hi, I just installed the Isle server today with the steamcmd and the thing that is bothering me is that the server doesn't come up with a gui or a console. It just runs in the background. I was wondering if I could have some way of running the server with with a console showing an output log and I could enter commands and or just be able to shut it down without having to use task manager?

regal latch
#

If you open the window with the Log text, CTRL-C should restart it. There is no GUI, there is no way to enter commands other than in game

frail plover
#

there is no window when I run it

regal latch
#

You used the SteamCMD guide and don't get a window?

#

let me link you to a start.bat that will use a logging window

#

customize it for your server, of course

#

Needs to be in the base folder of your isle server

frail plover
#

This is what I ran it with when after running the executable file itself

regal latch
#

Use the guide i posted above to make a new start.bat file

#

It will open two windows, one you can restart with CTRL-C

#

and does slight logging

frail plover
#

will I be able to shut down the server through it?

regal latch
#

No, you cannot enter external commands

frail plover
#

is there any way of shutting the server down without task manager? If not then will killing the server through task manager save properly?

inner token
#

is it allowed to make a commercial for a server?

white kite
#

you cannot advertise a server within this discord, but you can do so on the Steam forum's LFG section @inner token

short venture
#

@dusky shuttle I read your message and thought about it

#

so i made a batch file

regal latch
#

If you have the log file window open just close it. ;)

#

No need for a batch file unless you want it.

short venture
#

if you don't start it with the -log flag

#

it doesn't open that window

#

that you are referring to

#

just tested it, but I do prefer the log window.

#

So yeah, you can look at the batch file and use it if you want... but just make sure your starting shortcut file

#

has the flag -log at the end

#

outside of any quotes (if you have them)

#

just -log

#

with a blank space

regal latch
#

Yeah I linked a good bat file above to follow.

short venture
#

then you get it launched in a server console/log window like LethalBacon said

#

then you just X it out

#

oh yeah

#

that batch file has an auto restarter

#

they win

regal latch
#

Lol!

short venture
#

I wasn't about to write that stuff out

#

just start/stop

#

lol

regal latch
#

Well, for those that aren't comfortable configuring it yours is good too

short venture
#

I did add a status check for those that don't want -log on

#

(why wouldn't you?)

regal latch
#

Log doesn't do much. Kindly useless honestly

wind ermine
#

i'm helping out my friend with a server and i need access to the server panel thru pingperfect but they wont let me because it has their credit card info on it. first, is there any way to hide that, and two, anything essential i need to know about using it?

regal latch
#

So, have your friend give you the login information for the account? Never used PingPerfect so not sure exactly how it works.

wind ermine
#

not yet, because of the credit card thing

#

i just need to know if there's a way to hide the info

regal latch
#

No idea, sorry.

wind ermine
#

np

little trench
#

The game panel it self doesn't have the credit card info. Though the game panel they can make a sub user for you to use as your own login also to only touch the isle server

Is it possible to add dinos to the respawn screen? ๐Ÿค”

Not at this time. you have to manually inject them after a user has chosen their Dino, or you can run a sandbox server which allows users to choose all dinos

#

anyone knows why many servers arent searchable in the isle anymore? i cant even find my own one anymore and its fully up to date? anyone knows about that issue?

regal latch
#

@charred swift In here

#

Give me the name of the server and I'll look at something

#

I've seen this happen before

charred swift
#

Yoo im here

#

Its old PrimalEarth. Now its Fallen Kingdom

regal latch
#

First and foremost, this is not a Dev issue so please drop that. The host is absolutely mistaken if that's their answer

#

Ok, let me check something

charred swift
#

Several people are not finding the server including me and I have brand new laptop and router. Less that half a year old

regal latch
#

that means nothing, unfortunately

#

Your laptop and router have little to do with IP addresses the host uses

charred swift
#

Alright. The admins are suspecting that in that server but server providers are shifting blame to devs saying its not their fault the server isnt showing up even if written in search

regal latch
#

I understand.

#

But it's best to not come in raging at the Devs next time.

charred swift
#

I wasnt raging I was encouraging ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’–

regal latch
#

Fallen Kingdom is a 4 slot server, really?

charred swift
#

I have a bit pushy personality so I guess it was taken the wrong way

#

What does that mean?

regal latch
#

It means only 4 people can play at once

charred swift
#

I mean currently im looking into this because people ive bonded with are feeling hopeless and main admins have already given up.

#

It should be 200 people

#

200 people should be able to play in it

regal latch
#

I'm looking at the server right nowIN a browser and it says 4 slots while Steam says 50

#

So, I'll go with 50 slots.

#

but The Isle itself reports 4 slots

#

Something is definitely wonky with the host

charred swift
#

It used to be a 200 player server until they changed the name

regal latch
#

or an INI file for the setup

#

Thenyaw map?

charred swift
#

It used to be isle 3

#

And should be isle 3

regal latch
#

German server?

charred swift
#

Yes

#

German

regal latch
#

Ok, it's definitely a host OR a configuration issue in the INI file

charred swift
#

Is there something we can do about it?

regal latch
#

Because it's showing as a 4 player Thenyaw server

#

The Admins or Owner of the server needs to check their configuration

#

It's not right

charred swift
#

Btw i hope you dont mind that I screenshot this to show to the one last active admin

regal latch
#

Hang on

#

Let me link you to a website I use

charred swift
#

Thanks for your help btw

regal latch
#

That will prove to them how it's set up

#

Like I said, better to come asking for help then telling Devs to get off their asses

charred swift
#

It was there to get attention and it did so worked on my book ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’–

regal latch
#

You are so lucky I was online

#

You were one step away from getting canned

charred swift
#

I mean this is how you get immediate help to serious problems ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’‹ Thank you. I wont do it again btw

regal latch
#

NO, it's not. You ask for help. We don't work that way here

charred swift
#

This was just a serious problem and immediate help needing one

regal latch
#

Next time it won't work that way, just saying

charred swift
#

I wont do it calm down ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Already promised

regal latch
#

Give the Admin that website

#

It's a link to a server report showing it's on Thenyaw and 4 players

#

I would also suiggest finding a new host if you can, sounds like this one is not the best at customer support

charred swift
#

Thanks for the help! I let them know and hopefully we get this thing to work before its too late. (also sorry if someone got offended. I am the pushy kind of personality. No mean intentions here.)

regal latch
#

I get it. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Tell them their server configuration isn't right, it should help. It varies from host to host else I'd be more specific.

charred swift
#

I screenshot everything! ๐Ÿ˜‚

stable jasper
#

Does "serverName [official]" have to be branded by the isle devs? Or is it for the namesake of the server owners?

#

I seen some [official] naming but wondered what the requirements are

regal latch
#

Knockoffs. Fakes. Check the official box to find the real official servers. Except us3, have to search that one with the box unchecked.

smoky wolf

But is it illegal?

basically its the devs servers for officials

LethalBacon, Thanks for you work and patience.

short venture
#

@stable jasper As long as you aren't imitating another server, i think you will be fine

like if you named your server The Isle Official US 4

I'd say you would get some special attention

but if you said Ace's Community Official

#

that would be fine

Is there a guide to the color palettes when injecting dinos? I know we can change the colors. Just wish I knew which colors go with which numbers.

#

I just need to know what number is the white palette and what number is the black palette.

naive onyx
#

You canโ€™t really change the colours to something the Dino doesnโ€™t already have in the skin screen iirc

violet marsh
#

^

#

If you try, it resets every color that the dinosaur doesn't have access to back to it's default

peak marsh
#

I feel like we have already attempted, but is there a dev or someone that could look further into our server issue? We have tried so many things and every server just won't stop crashing every 30mins - 2hrs

#

It hasn't ever been an issue until earlier this morning

regal latch
#

WHo's the host?

#

@peak marsh

peak marsh
#

EO Reality @regal latch

regal latch
#

Crashing servers is honestly a host issue. I've never heard of them but that doesn't mean anything. It shouldn't be caused by your INI files but if you're trying to use mods or perhaps Discord injection for a Discord bot, that may be the issue.

peak marsh
#

Ok so, the servers were fine for 12 hours. Just now our server 2 and 3 crashed, we were getting animation error reports, but now we are getting overflow errors. Any help? @regal latch

regal latch
#

Contact your host. It's an issue on their end with the hardware. Animation error reports in the log are normal. Overflow errors are typically due to hardware. Either the hardware they're using is out of spec or it has an issue.

peak marsh
#

We have, nothing on their end. We have reinstalled the servers four times

#

The overflow errors are small, I got it wrong, its a callstack error. It keeps doing "Callstack-TryingToFindUnknown"

#

And a reinstall would normally fix it yea? But it hasn't.

#

We are thinking its a player file, because it can't find anything. The only way to find it out is to wipe the player base, and we don't want to do that being a server with thousands of players. But we can't find another solution.

#

@regal latch

regal latch
#

Is this an old server with old mods installed perhaps?

peak marsh
#

No

#

Up to date completely

#

In fact just crashed again

regal latch
#

Dm me the start.bat or start script file and the game.ini if you can. Maybe something in there but I doubt it.

copper python
#

Is there a list of the numbers used for each skin?
That way i can edit character configs for their skins

peak marsh
#

We have reset everything, we haven't touched anything in the ini. Nothing has changed or is wrong with it, as we are looking at it rn

regal latch
#

Then it's time for a new host because they're blowing smoke. Thebother possibility is that you have a player trying some oddball hacknor something that's crashing the server. I still think it's a host issue and they're refusing to look at it.

peak marsh
#

It gives us a sequence of codes that tells us it may be a player. But it is like over 100 steam IDs. We thought it may be a steam issue. But we have updated everything through the host, checksed all the steam stuff and nothing. Its crashed 3 times in 15mins now

regal latch
#

If you have access to the event viewer check the system and application tabs for errors. See if you find anything.

peak marsh
#

We have all three open. Its giving CallStackErrors

#

Its just CallStackUnknownFunction and crashes

I'm fairly new to this area and curious to know what type of computing hardware is necessary to host a server

The same hardware on the steam store page is a great start for hosting your own.

Is there a way to view(on discord or another way) how many people are logged into a server without opening the game?

You could use the Steam's server browser I guess,
Open steam > at the top click on "View" > click on "Server". Then at the bottom just filter for "The Isle" and find the server you wanna know about @lyric hinge

I don't think that's available on mobile

Our servers are just dying. Servers 1, 2, and 3 have continuously went down after 3 minutes like 10 times each in the span of 30mins.

Urghhhh

I think ya'll are gonna need to wipe the player base :\

That wouldn't do anything watch lmao

Thanks! Didn't see the specs on my phone. Is there still a need to add more servers?

How does one talk to the maker of a server? I was banned for a couple of days and I wanted to know why?

#

I was banned on Pangea but I'm unsure of why it happened.

join their discord

#

you most likely didn't follow a rule properly and got banned for it

#

they have a shit ton

#

@hard cove

How do I do that? Do I type in their server name here? Sorry Im new to the discord and I dont know a lot about it

Thankyou so much lol

are there any ban logs or kick logs server owners can see through pingperfect's game panel?

Family Sharing has been disabled for The Isle again, sorry it took so long this time around

drifting veldt
#

For good?

wooden frigate
#

wait

#

you couldnt warn us?

#

This is horse shit

amber gorge
#

Isn't that against steam ToS because it's a strictly multiplayer online game?

wooden frigate
#

like "HEY!!! btw guys no family share on 5/8/2019"

#

@eternal breach

eternal breach
#

@wooden frigate We removed it a couple times before, but due to some engine changes by epic games it came back a few months ago, we have been trying to re-disable it ever since and finally made some headway on the issue

wooden frigate
#

a warning wouldve been nice...

eternal breach
#

Valve doesn't let developers change the option or specify support for it on the store, so its been vague

earnest hedge
#

but why?

eternal breach
#

it's used to evade bans and have multiple characters as a single user on official servers, both of which hurt the game, there are legitimate use cases for it but the negatives outweigh the positives for us, this is why most survival or multiplayer games in general have disabled family sharing support

wooden frigate
#

okay but still never answered why there was no warning not tryna be mean im just stuck on a giga now that just hit full and now have to basically kill it. little frustrating

naive onyx
#

tbh it was obvious it was gonna happen since it wasn't really meant to be on in the first place

untold idol
#

Is there going to be an announcement for it?

hoary cave
#

If you've got questions or concerns in regards to the disabling of Steam Family Sharing don't hesitate to shoot me a message, I'll be happy to address them.

#

lmao

#

deleted it

hoary cave
#

Keep this channel limited to Isle discussion please, or questions in regards to the recent change.

wooden frigate
#

i just wanna know why there was no warning

violet marsh
#

Probably because it wasnt supposed to be on in the first place. They turned it off a while ago, and it got turned back on unintentionally. They're just setting it back to the way it was before, and the way it was intended to be. You should've been expecting it to happen sooner or later.

copper python
#

Do you guys know if you disable RexAdultS if it prevents subbies from growing into adults?

nope, they still grow into adults

@hoary cave Hello! I know you guys a busy with this whole family share and recoding stuff :# But i was wondering now that we have a lot of inactive logs laying on our servers. But when the recoding is out, will it whipe the servers or would it be an idea to do it manually now?
Thanks beforehand dondiPathetic

regal latch
#

You delete the logs if you don't need them.

#

The recode will probably require a wipe of player files.

grave zephyr
#

Is there a guide for hosting dedicated server?

regal latch
grave zephyr
#

Thank you!

regal latch
#

Welcome e!

grave zephyr
#

One question... in the guide stands: Each time the game updates you will need to do either one, depending on which branch updated, and what branch you are on.

#

so i must update to the newest branch version

#

in the guide it is app_update 412680

#

but what is the newest branch for the game ?

regal latch
#

The branch part is irrelevant now. Just use the app I'd

grave zephyr
#

okay... i try too start the server... maybe it works

#

it dont work, i cant find my server.. ok thank you

#

If there is a multihome line in your ini or batch file remove it

I just created a server on ping perfect and it was auto set to thenyaw, how do i change this to V3?

@regal latch can you help?

I'm not familiar with ping perfect or their control panel. I can get you the map code though.

#

Ok

You can change the map through the command line option

Oh ok i got it thank you both

#

what is server requirement in general ? And/or server transfer between maps is a thing in future ? So you could make a cluster.

Same hardware specs as the steam store page is a good start

As for the rest, not sure.

How does server hosting work? I just made one, was logged in to it, but as soon as I log out, it is nowhere to be found on the server list. <@&505047238674874368>

wind ermine
#

@merry urchin if you are using the host button in-game, it's a private server made for you and you only. usually for testing purposes

#

if you want a server you can manage and other people can join you'd have to set up a dedicated server or use a host site

vast cradle
#

What is the max number you can put on the "ServerAIRate=" field?

naive onyx
#

The ai settings are useless.

vast cradle
#

Ah they are? I am guessing they are all set to be default?

naive onyx
#

They physically don't do anything

#

they were removed ages ago

Gotcha. Thanks. Just wish there was a way to increase it a bit.

thx you

but i have another problem

#

i set now the ports

#

and i dont have a query port

#

is that bad?

#

and how can i set the ip adress?

regal latch
#

The IP address is the IP address of your router.

#

Just open the query port in your firewalls.

golden flare
#

IP address of router(gateway) or ur public IP?

regal latch
#

Public ip

golden flare
#

That's what I thought, think I have a port issue or something, can't find the server, opened up the ports and forwarded. But I've kinda given up at this point ^^

merry urchin
#

should I specify both ports in my firewall? So 7777 and 7778?

merry urchin
#

It never shows the server and i did all steps from stolidsnow0

<@&505047238674874368>
This may seem like a silly/noob question, but is there a list of both the Survival growth times and the regular growth times (like the one that can be used in sandbox)? Are they even different? Thank you!

@arctic apex i use this site, seems to be pretty accurate

Hello.
From where to download the IsleV3 map,
to enable it on a private server.

#

?

jade field
#

so, what should i do if my server is paid but wont show?

white kite
#

make sure it's online and running is a good first step, can usually check that via the control panel of whatever company you're renting it from

#

if it is running, there is most likely something wrong with your config file @jade field

upbeat heath
#

How come anytime I create a server, nobody can ever find it when it's searched?

@upbeat heath hosting a server from the host button in-game won't work, it's a private server made for you only

Any suggestions for helping a new server get traction? Get populated I mean

violet marsh

The only thing you can really do is put a post in the looking for group section of the steam forums/discussions advertising your server and keep active. Stick to what you do and you'll get people who play on the server sooner or later

Anyone have problems with bodies not turning to gore on their own server?

regal latch

WHich bodies?

magic estuary

Player bodies

#

We kill them, the body stays but then just disappears instead of turning to gore

#

I think

regal latch
#

Hmmm, that's a new one.

#

Small bodies you eat as an Apex?

magic estuary
#

No, like if we kill a rex and just let it sit there and watch it after eating a bit it just poofs instead of becomes gore it appears

regal latch
#

I have not heard of that

#

I'll note it

fossil atlas
violet marsh
#

@fossil atlas It's probably something along the lines of "Network Security" or something similar, but I think they're referring to it as a tab after logging into your router/modem still. Should be able to find something in there that's akin to security in general, then you just need to look around until you can see something called DMZ

regal latch
#

DO NOT use DMZ

#

That is only a last resort @violet marsh and @fossil atlas

#

It will leave you unprotected

#

Skip that part

violet marsh
#

Yeah I got that from the post, was just helping out on the network security tab part.

regal latch

Gotcha

@regal latch Sadly, the ports havent been working good at all for me, so unless you can help me figure the reason it wont work out, then Im going to need to use the dangerous option

#

Thanks for telling me though.

Make the query and other port different numbers

Is Pingperfect an ideal server hoster?
And for survival servers, can you prevent players choosing from a dinosaur? Like, disable it so they can't pick it and grow it.

violet marsh
#

I believe that you can disable it just like you can with sandbox, and pingperfect is a rpretty good server host. We use them and get excellent performance, and they have all the tools needed to run it efficiently

good morning everybody, my name is steven from the multigaming community AKIRA. we decided to make our own TheIsle Server(Great Game). mostly bad Server Hosters are pretty expensive so we make our own ๐Ÿ˜„ now i have a little Problem - the Server is up to date and starts but i can't find it in the Lists of Isle

violet marsh
#

@brave tulip The problem that I"m seeing with that picture is you're trying to run Region2 as the map, but that map has been removed from the files for quite some time. Try changing the map to Thenyaw, V3, or the devtest map and you shouldn't get that error anymore

little trench
#

Fixing your start map may helping thing^
Not sure what sort of environment your server is in. Make sure ports/firewall are open top the ports. Try finding server though 'steam servers' window instead of game, just to see if it is visible at all

Also, Being using Zap-Hosting for another game similar to The Isle, quite happy with them, never was happy with PingPerfect.

brave tulip
#

its working thank you very much ^^

Hello guys. I'm owner a small server (about 20 -30 players). Could you tell me how i can get hypo rex or hypo giga into my server? (sorry if I wrighting in wrong place).

naive onyx
#

Hypos are currently dev only @lucid lion

steep crypt
#

The hypers in the youtuber videos were nested in by developers so the youtubers have content during the recode (if that is why you think you can get hypers somehow), they aren't available for normal players. Hypers will be playable in the future though, but right now they are unfinished and a bit unbalanced

You can't

Please don't ask the Devs either

Your wish, completed.

It's not a dedicated server, it's through PingPerfect

#

or is that still a dedicated server

regal latch
#

Still

#

The configuration of the INI files is the exact same

#

The lines are the same

#

So, it should work ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

They just might be in a different place in your control panel

merry urchin
#

Looks like some of the settings aren't in the game.ini. Will I have to add some?

regal latch
#

Possibly, yes

#

AI doesn't work/change anything

#

So leave those alone.

Iโ€™ve only enabled the AI and thatโ€™s it

I'm trying to add myself as an administrator and putting the ID on the same line as the server admin command, but I'm not getting anything.

@merry urchin

I was like

"iTs NOT WORKING"

None of the lines should have a + next to them

Should I put the ID on the same line?

Yes

No quotes

Just no + in front of it

Iโ€™m struggling to understand how to use the time command. I know you do it in military time, but every time I do 0700 (7AM) it just goes back to 0000. (12 AM)

I usually do /time morning or something

try /time 500

merry urchin
#

uHHH

#

also

#

I just banned myself in curiosity. how do i unban myself

regal latch
#

Edit your ini file

#

Or for PingPerfect, there has to be a control panel or folder for that

merry urchin
#

Looked in the .ini file and there wasnโ€™t anything

#

Perhaps I have to restart it for it to appear

regal latch
#

Uuummmm

#

hang on

#

Look under Saved - Databases - Bans folder

#

Delete the JSON file from BANS

Curiosity killed the cat. :(

How would I make myself a non-survival dinosaur?

regal latch
#

Follow step 5 of the guide using the relevant codes for the dinos

#

The same place you found the Ban folder, you'll find a player folder

#

The file you need will be in there

merry urchin
#

I've found my file, however I'm not able to edit it since it's through the Control Panel of PingPerfect

#

wait

#

Found it

#

BACK AT IT AGAIN

I'm trying to add | #1 OFFICIAL to my server's name but the | #1 doesn't appear

regal latch

Hmmm

#

Try doing Official #1 instead

merry urchin
#

Well, I mean, I want the | in the name

#

So it'd be like

#

(SERVER NAME) | #1 OFFICIAL

regal latch
#

I can't say as I've ever seen the # symbol in a server name?

#

It'susually just 1, 2, 3, 4 etc

#

I don't think it works

merry urchin
#

I've seen it before

#

But I don't think you're getting me

#

I know the # and 1 work, but I'm talking about the |

regal latch
#

OH

#

Try using uppercase i instead

#

I looked through my entire steam server list and never saw that character there

#

always [ and ]

#

or I

merry urchin
#

I tried updating the name and it just said "no" so now I'm like "???"

little trench
#

Special characters can break the coding. To use them you need to escape the characters. example in web coding HTML & translates to &
A simple backslash may let you use the | in the server name. If it doesn't, bad luck :(
ServerName=Isle Server \| #1

merry urchin
#

that's an oOF

little trench
#

No good?

merry urchin
#

I'm trying to find the HTML code for |

little trench
#

The game is Base on C, the escape key is \ (same as discord actually xD)

merry urchin
#

wh

#

wh at

little trench
#

In your server name, just had a backslash before the | and see if it works.

merry urchin
#

It don't work

#

heck

little trench
#

Alright, will have a look myself soon. See if can make it work for you some way ๐Ÿ˜›

merry urchin
#

thank you <3

#

I'm also trying to just add #1 OFFICIAL to the end of the name but it's not working out

#

even changed the name to Game and it hasn't changed

#

Maybe it's the host.

#

I've sent in a ticket to find out

little trench
#

Hmm, ahh it works without the slightest issues for me.
Just straight up
ServerName=A new Isle Server | #1

white kite
#

is your server down when you are trying to change the name @merry urchindondiThink

little trench
#

Ohh, have been changing the name and rebooting the server so it takes effect, I hope :\

merry urchin
#

Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve been doing.

#

Apparently using the .ini file for Ping wonโ€™t work, so I have to open a ticket to have them change it for me. On top of that, yeah, the | didnโ€™t work but Iโ€™m not about to ask 5 bajillion times to change it.

regal latch
#

There isn't anywhere to change the name in your Admin panel? There has to be anothe r way other than a ticket?

naive onyx
#

there's the "easy config" and the text editor

merry urchin
#

Nope. @regal latch

#

So out of the blue another server with the same name appeared and its hard to tell my server apart from the other. Is there anything I can do about this? I've already got a discord and everything under this name and I don't really want to have to change it.

Best start would be contacting the other owner and see if yall can't work something out @merry urchin

ruby walrus
#

Hey there, I have a server and was hoping someone could help me out with a couple things? Firstly, does anyone know all of the weather commands? I've discovered "rain," "sunny," and "storm" but I was wondering if there were more :3

Second, I use PingPerfect. I've messed with the AI settings but nothing ever seems to change. Plus, AI still spawns in even if I have "AI enabled" and "AI spawns" turned off. Lastly, what does "Dynamic Time of Day" do? Is there a way to make it perpetually daytime?

wind ermine
#

@ruby walrus for the admin commands, you can just type /help in chat. if you want help on a specific command then just type the command itself. aka if you want all the weather settings type /weather and it'll show you all of the possible settings

#

ai settings don't work for the timebeing, no matter what you set it to

#

and neither does the "dynamic time of day"

#

that's for controlling how long the night and day is

#

ex. you could make it night for 10 minutes and day for 50

#

hope that helps

ruby walrus
#

Wow, yes, that helped so much! Thank you!

#

So the whole making it night for 10 minutes and day for 50, that's what Dynamic time of day is supposed to do? But does not work currently.. correct?

wind ermine
#

yep, broken just like ai settings

ruby walrus
#

Ah. Any word on if it will be fixed with the recode?

wind ermine
#

not that i know of, but i'm sure they'll get to it sometime

ruby walrus
#

๐Ÿ‘ All righty. Thanks!!

#

Wait, one more thing. If I disable a dinosaur, what exactly does that mean? Say I ban RexAdultS - what would happen if a sub rex tried to grow? Also, does anyone know if it's possible to disable certain AI? I disabled BP[underscore]AIVelociraptor[underscore...etc] but I can't tell if it worked or not :\

wind ermine
#

you can't disable ai

ruby walrus
#

Basically, I'm wondering if it disables the dinosaur COMPLETELY, or just takes it off the character screen

wind ermine
#

just in general, whether it be specific or not

#

when you disable a dinosaur you can no longer select it

#

but if someone were still that dino, they'd still grow into it's adult regularly

ruby walrus
#

Okay, that was my question ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

You are superman

if you buy a ping perfect server and add no additional ram how much is there, I cant seem to find the number anywhere
