@merry urchin Follow:
C: (or where you saved your theisle folder) > TheIsle > Binaries > Win64
You should find a .exe data called "TheIsle-Win64-Shipping.exe"
Start it. After a few seconds try to run your .bat file again.
should it open? or
yes double click on it. 🙂
Nothing happens
that's normal. Now try to run your .bat file and see if it works now.
@vague oasis still doesnt work
@merry urchin Still the same error?
Look if your steam is still running at the background with task manager. Also please show me your .bat file. You can also dm me if you want.
@vague oasis dmed you
Hi
Could you help me?
I can not figure out how to remove a dryosaurus from the selection menu
@rough pulsar If I could get you screenshots I would, but I can't as I don't own a server. but ik what u need to do, u use pingperfect?
ping me when ur reading this
Does anyone know a server hosting service that is legitimate? (I'm planning to buy the services with my own money monthly.. just trying to find the legit one(s). So many out there.)
com on island of hope im give free grow a waye
@timber glade Use pingperfect, that's a good one

Hey, <@&401466542140817419>
Iam the server owner of a newly started community called Raw!, We are capping out our first 170 player capped server during the weekends, but we are not the biggest yet for obvious reasons, i was wondering if there was a chance to get in contact with any of the developers for a chance of making events on the server with hypos?
Our players are talking about this alot, and i feel like it would be awesome to actually be able to make an event where the hypos will bring destruction!
Any dev that would be interested in contacting me, i would highly apreciate it

@quick ivy You would need to contact Punchpacket directly for any kind of queries like that. It would be up to the devs to allow such a thing
oh alrighty, thanks for the quick reply!
The system requirements after recode for dedicated servers will be The same of The current version?
what are the reccomended specs for a the isle server?, because im thinking of buying a VPS
By this time you can run a small server with dual-core, 8GB and a good Bandwidth connection.
@naive onyx I have some questions about the host, can you help me?
@vague oasis "@primal acorn
Try to change your TCP port number and see if you can find your server again."
Sorry for the late response but how would I do that?
any one can tell me what familysharing does?
im doing a survival server im lost with game.ing file
For people who own a server like me will the recode change who the server providers are? Ex: Pingperfect. Or will I have to change to something else?
@merry urchin family sharing for The Isle is completely disabled so I wouldn't worry about it. It's a steam function.
a really good question from Dgoble which i am curious about too since i host a new server for 3 days now
@winter coral I messaged punch packet and he said “It'll be the same, no worries.”
@naive onyx is not hosting
if its the same i hope we can still host on laptops instead of renting a server
For those who want to host a server on their computer and play at the same time, add the param -NOSTEAM on the command line ^^
For exemple, for Thenyaw I launch the server with this line :
"F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\The Isle Dedicated Server\TheIsleServer.exe" /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Thenyaw_Island/Thenyaw_Island?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778?game=Survival -NOSTEAM -log
I just built a new server to host an Isle server and it sets the Max players to 50. The Server_Start.bat and Engine.ini are set to 150. Not sure what I did wrong.
hello do you know how can I set up a white list ?
Hi i would like to know how to do a welcome message when a player join the serv
does anyone know a server hosting site thats cheaper than pingperfect but just as good?
The Isle use JSON insteand of mysql
I would like to know how to get isle V3 map on my server
Does anyone know if the Isle has RCON support?
trying to get RCON tools to connect to our hosted server on citadel services
and its not connecting
ah I see
does anyone know if there currently is a way to track admin commands?
is there a log of it somewhere?
like if our staff use a command it would log it?
No official logging system exist yet for admin command
What about in game chat logs? We have something like this on our game panel but no way to efficiently track the logs because of how the logs work.
Is there a way to access those some other way?
You could create a discord bot that logs everything said in game to a discord channel but again , no official tool for it.
Can someone help me with hosting with SteamCMD my server isnt showing up idk if I forwarded wrong
Any good guides ?
I’m currently in the middle of trying to setup multiple isle servers off of one machine. I have server 1 and server 2. Server one is using Query port 27015 and server 2 is using 27020. Everyone I have had try can find server 1 but not server 2. There are a few people that can not find server 2 unless I switch query ports and then they flip around. I’d there any way around this issue so that way my server can easily be found my all players?
Also just to add in here the normal ports are 7777 and 7779
Have you actually opened the ports 7779, 27020 for the second server?
Yes I have @little trench
Lets say I have 10 people trying to connect, 6/10 people can connect / find the server
Never had an issue that only some people can connect. Always be all or none. Not to sure what to tell you.
Sure with a bit of messing around and playing you'll be able to work it out. DOuble check ports, firewall, AV all that annoying stuff. 👍
Cause I shouldn't have any issues with just changing that query port should I? Like 27016 27017 etc.. should all work as normal yeah?
Same setup in modem/router for ports?
It’s hosted by a company so I don’t have access to that
Maybe I can get eith the company and see what the issue is
I think I may have figured it out. Thanks for the help if I need anything else I’ll make sure to pop in
how can i host a server?
@rancid vessel does that also include having to refresh 8 billion times to find the server?
Uhh, no they can see it right away. It's all good and working and everyone can join now. Thanks for the help though
hello i am korea the isle user, i want to ask server hosting
- Premium dinosaur
How to open a server
Can anyone help? I want to do events on my server to offer the non survival dinos on it but everything I look at is either super confusing or says nothing about it. I just want to know is it a program I have to download or is it just a simple command?
You would need to change their dinosaur to their respective codes depending on what dinosaur you wanna make them
Okay where do I find the codes? And where would I put them 😊 @naive onyx
You'll find a list at the bottom @echo pagoda
Thank you ❤️
So I have tried to follow the newest video but it shows to go onto the saved file in the isle file but i dont have a saved file i just have binaries and content. I have shut down nitrado and restarted it, but the saved file still hasn't appeared.
I recommend joining your server and choosing a dinosaur then logging out. This should create the Saved folder with your file inside.
Okay ill give that ago again cause me and my fiance both have dinos on there
Make sure you definitely safe logged then
Okay
Hey I’m trying to host my server it’s saying it started but it ain’t coming up on the server list what have I done wrong
Hi! Trying to host my own dedicated server for me and my friends. Everything currently runs smoothly for my friends, but I cannot join it! I heard that the -NOSTEAM command can fix this issue, and I was wondering how the -NOSTEAM command works so that I can join my friends on my server. Any tips?
@hardy vigil - No advertising anywhere on the Discord please.
I have heard that rcon is not supported anymore. Is this true or does it still work with isle servers?
As far as I'm aware, rcon no longer works due to battleeye being removed.
Ok thank you
’m trying to host my server it’s saying it started but it ain’t coming up on the server list what have I done wrong?
@solemn helm Are you sure the server is alive tho?
Hey hoping this is an easy question to answer. What are Type H CharacterClass ID's?
@woeful quail Not availed for server owner. Only developers have access to them.
Is everyone aware that Dryos using burrows and destroying them causes the server to crash?
and if so what can we do to fix it?>
I am looking at options to disable the dinosaur itself but the service we use doesnt really offer that straight up in the game panel.
You can't fix it besides disabling the dinosaurs atm.
Its a game issue.
(the same goes for tacos)
only time ive heard of burrows crashing servers is when a dryo dies in it or logs out in one (causing the burrow to collapse anyway and kill the dryo), never just by using/destroying them
Is making an ARK server easy? I wanna play with a friend
is there a hosting platform for free or pay now instead of renting?
Yes Dryos in burrows can crash the server. Had a few people and a server owner from another server purposefully doing this on my server. Still can't seem to properly disable them. Not sure if it is DisabledDinosaur=Dryo...or "Dryo"...or DisabledDinosaurs like plural. The only place on the net that talks about it has to do with using Nitrado or some hosting service which I am hosting personally from my own box. I believe it goes in game.ini but I could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.
or maybe has to be DryoJuv?
for survival server
hello what is different between standard, realism, roleplay, and experimental?
Does anyone know the script to restart your server?
@merry urchin Just use windows task scheduler.
Make a bat that close your server at a time
Use task scheduler to run that at a set time
Make new scheduler task to start up servers after
But, how do i make a close bat lol
@merry urchin you don't need it at all. You can shut it down and restart the server using task scheduler.
What should i do if i want to create a private server for my friends? When i create a server, none of my friends can find it in the server list and when i invite them via steam overlay they get connected to a complete random server, is there any way to fix this or?
@slim rover check If your ports are forwarded correctly.
how i do that @wind owl
how i do that @wind owl
@slim rover Depends direct of your Internet Provider and your internet router configuration capabilities.
Check the StolidSnow configuration video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kelYw7lB0Ik
And the article show too how to configure.
Ever wondered how you could host a server on The Isle but not have to pay a thing? Well with some time and the right hardware you can!

hey question how do i edit the server safe logg timer
@worthy lava it will be in game.ini
Another question how do I config the message of the day for when you first join the server
@worthy lava inside your Saved file just make MOTD.txt in there with whatever you want to say.
Ok thank u
question when this recode happens do i have to but another server with the server hosting compony or what
I'd say no.
yeah idk its just confusing me
I dont see why you would need to buy another
Any guy can make a host for me? idk why is not working i maked all right. I read everything the steam guide said ;/
I set everything up as the guide said, but when I finished the app_update 412680 and when it fully installed, the directed file I selected the server to be in is empty. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling the app and steamcmd but I still get an empty folder. I also tried looking for the folders that steamcmd said it successfully downloaded but I haven't found anything yet. Any suggestion/help would be greatly appreciated!
@sly terrace try to run ".exe" file in server folder 1 time, the files will be appear.
there's nothing though in the folder
i directed it to a folder
and nothing is there its empty
The folder containing the files, you specify in command "Force_Install_Dir C:\XXXXXXXXXXXXXX", maybe you addressed another one in this command.
the folder that I directed it to
this is what it looks like after it says success
Hey Guys, i running a server and all working fine as i have read is it still possible to change the .json database to mysql?
i have tryed this code in my game.ini

Hello, is there any way to change the stats of a dino or a player ? (Like damages, health, etc...)
this is what it looks like after it says success
@sly terrace If your force_install_dir and the folder are the same. I think the SteamCMD have permission issues to install properly. Try to run as administrator.
Hello, is there any way to change the stats of a dino or a player ? (Like damages, health, etc...)
@civic linden After Installation, the tutorial forward you how to change this attributes.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359
I did try to run it as admin multiple times, that's why I'm confused xD
Hey Guys, i running a server and all working fine as i have read is it still possible to change the .json database to mysql?
@tropic chasm Direct in the game config, no.
@wind owl Thank you for answering, but I don't find anything about changing damages or something like that
@wind owl Thank you for answering, but I don't find anything about changing damages or something like that
@civic linden Sorry I misinterpreted your question, you can change the status of life, hunger, etc. of dinosaurs. But damage, speed and other status is not possible at the moment.
@wind owl Oh okay! Thank you anyway 😄
Any ideas why the server won't show up in the server list, despite everything theoretically working? I'm trying to run the server on an EC2 instance through AWS, and have created a security group to permit TCP/UDP traffic on the correct ports (as well as a wider range in case of any issues) but I'm not having any luck, even with the rest of the troubleshooting.
I can't make a dedicated server. for a test. look at this:
Finally i figured it out

can anyone help me been try to change the name of my Isle sever and not let me try change it in all of my file still not let me and not sure why any info would be very helpfully thank you
How do you promote your server best?.... stuck with 20 peak
How do you buy a server? (Idk where to ask this)
anyone want to host a server with me? I have everything ready discord everything just need a host that is ready to start a community 🙂
also im from eu
Hi - Sorry if this isnt the correct place to ask. But does anyone know of a discordbot/webhook which can edit players json files when typed in? or is it only manuel adjustments?
All of those discord bots you see in servers are custom coded
@fervent sky I assumed as much, but thanks for the response
So i have worked on servers that hosted through PingPerfect and Nitrado and know how to set player's dinos though the server files. But now, I'm hosting a survival, growth based server through G-portal. That means i do not have access to things like spino, shant, pue etc. and I cannot find a way to access an editable version of player save files to set people as sandbox dinosaurs. Does anyone know of an access point i would be able to use or is G-portal just designed in this way and I'm stuck like this until the recode comes out and changes how servers work?
I haven’t heard many great things about G-portal I’m afraid. Apparently there’s many things missing that on other providers, would be available.
Alright thanks
@meager seal Dont know if they allow connection via FileZilla (FTP), that could be a way to edit the files.
Another question for you bois, I'm privatly hosting a server, and I haven't been able to find any logs where it log /commands ingame like /grow /bring etc.
So basically admin commands, are those commands written to a logfile, and if so which one? 🙂
Admin commands are not visible through logs atm no
Thanks for the reply @naive onyx
What does the bServerDynamicTimeOfDay setting do? I see it on one of the wiki / fandom pages but there's no info about it
basically it used to be if you wanted to stop time altogether just set that to false
Not the place to advertise @crimson bough
my b
Question for anyone has sever provider is there any good ones out there? im looking at ascendservers and citadel servers atm but done know which is better, or if there are any good ones that aren't to expensive
Hi Xeno, never used a provider before for the The Isle, but have used Nitrado or gtxgaming as providers for other games, and they have both been quite good, ginving you full access on file level, with either with webinterface access or access via ftp.
Also a question from me, I have been looking around and have found a way to automate announcements. Is this even possible, or is announcements only possible to do via ingame command /announce?
Only ingame, if RCON ever comes back, it could be possible.
Yeah thought as much, but thanks for replying @vital granite
Is there a place to promo your server, we are done setting up our server with where you can save and swap dinos ^^
Alright, this may sound like a dumb question, but my server is up and my friends can access it, but when I go on I can't see it in the server search
Any solutions?
Ive been looking into this for hours and I'm finally caving to asking you guys for help. I just recently rented a server through pingperfect and have been trying to figure out how class injections work (since I've seen people playing as spinos and other non-survival dinos on survival servers) and I have a general idea of how to, but every time I edit the player files to change the class and log back in, I'm forced back to the faction selection screen. I've tried this a few different ways now, with downloading the player file, editing, deleting the old and uploading the new, or just flat editing with note++ through the database and saving, with the server either online or offline. I'm wondering where I may be going wrong. Any pointers would be great
is there a way i can get a bot that logs majority of stuff in my isle server
mtndew send you a dm
Hey sorry to bother, but i'm hosting a server from my comp, and my friends and other joiners can join said server from around the world, so that means the server works, but internally I can't join my own server, got any pointers? I'm asking you because i've basically tried everything from my point of understanding, and this is my first time trying to set up a server. The server works and shows on the isle server list from my friends views, i'm just struggling internally wise, could it be my .bat file server or could it be something else? If so, can someone DM me? Thankyou.
alright, how come I can access my server using different wifi networks, but I can't access my server on the wifi network that the server is using, even when i'm using a different device on an alt-account? any feedback would be greatly helpful to me.
** I am also trying to wrap my head around this networking snafu which kind of goes against all proper networking processes , since the tutorial posted several times above seems to be missing 2 crucial steps **
- I'm guessing the servers manual IP address and also listed in the bat files is the actual internet connection's external IP address where the author blurred out (AKA your Public WAN address of the router) which seems to be kind of odd that the server machine's internal IP address would be anything other than a Private LAN address(192.168.1.x) in the routers LAN segment since the author is using port forwarding - this step is crucial and seems to have been avoided in this tutorial - could someone define the above by using simple aliases [my.isp.wan.ip + my.isp.subnet + isp.default.gateway] and [192.168.lan.ip + lan.subnet + lan.gateway ] in the correct steps above- unless this tutorials author is actually paying extra for a static ip/29 block - which I can easily fill in the blanks on the tutorial
-also the above posters query - if im hosting a server on 1 pc that is public to everyone else - how do I join locally behind my router do I use the internal LAN ip or is there command arguments to specify my client with a different tcp peer port and udp port to use the wan Ip address
- thanks in advance 🙂
@hexed bluff Tryna wrap my head around what you're actually saying, but the ip that was blurred is the ip that needs to be put in when you make it dedicated. The one in the bat file is the public ip.
If you host the server on one pc then you can join on the same PC.
do we have to pay anything to host a server ?
I am speaking in the language of actual networking and server hosting since 1999 - why are the LAN ips blurred out in the video - if that is a private lan segment address protected behind a routers NAT (ex: 10.0.0.x 192.168.1.x 174.x.x.x) , even leaving enough not blurred out to recognize the basic class c address or private would be sufficient. Where is the official company readme.txt for hosting command line and ports?
- btw I figured as much for the bat file for the server browser list would require the WAN.IP the rest of the video ips should not be blurred out unless it is not a LAN IP - then the tutorial is broken unless they pay extra for an actual STATIC IP block. Seems like the often regurgitated YouTube video above but never explained with networking facts is shot off the hip with “I don’t know what I did but works now” at the end
🤪
allright so - I tried this on my PC ( was remoted into another users PC prior) this does not work with conventional LAN port forwarding - so with logic Im going to say you manually edited your local PC running the server with your actual ISP's External IP address/subnet mask and gateway instead of using the standard DMZ included in your router - either way since both are exposed to the internet only the manual non DMZ is double NAT'd and only causes lag... going to try this next (even though it is a "Neverdothis" in VLAN/NAT Networking 101) - and break my internet in the quest for knowledge - BTW - please do not confuse my networking sarcasm for any type of angst ")
In the most simplistic terms -
`Local LAN Server behind your router
WIN+R ncpa.cpl ENTER
IPV4 section edit the following
configure manual IP for those that have a Router that does not have IP allocation or starts a DHCP Pool above x.64
- my.lan.pvt.adr (or Static IP /29 VLAN usable)
- my.lan.pvt.subnet (or Static IP /29 VLAN subnet)
- my.lan.pvt.gateway (or Static IP /29 VLAN Gateway address)
(do not share staticip/29)
Manual DNS
8.8.8.8 (Google DNS)
8.8.4.4 (Google DNS)
or how networking is supposed to be accomplished behind NAT Translation
DMZ Enable your Local PC (my.lan.pvt.adr) LAN IP, or Static NAT your Static IP Address (ie /29 block of 5 you Purchased from you ISP in addition to your internet service cost)
ISLE server bat file add * my.isp.wan.adr (or Static IP /29 usable) as the ip address for the steam server browser for UE4 - behind ?Multihome
Port Forwarding (this overides anything else in your router including DMZ) can be pointed to the Servers IP Address(or Manual IP/Static IP /29 address)
but for Static IP /29 address this is not required since there is no Firewall protection functions for any VLAN STATIC IP - considered business class

Please fix max show count player 232 in server list . For settup server 1000 max and in game see 1000 .
@naive onyx seems to be a NAT type issue in ones router (if your router has the option to change it ) needs to be Open (DMZ mode for those who's routers are restricted) or change NAT Security to Minimal (most standard inbound ports requests are not auto blocked) or the most drastic "Static NAT rule based on LAN IP (this is a tool is normally used for purchased static IP Blocks when you have a business class firewall behind your internet modem) - my problem is solved - so I can join via Steam Server browser or under LAN option in Game
The Internal Servers IP is only a Private LAN address (ie 192.168.1.x) the Multihome? IP is your (WAN IP - do not share) now for those with routers that auto assign IP addresses 192.168.1.64-192.168.1.253 in their DHCP Pool.... this is where you can manually assign a static IP in your Computers LAN adapter below the assignable (ie IP 192.168.1.10 , subnet 255.255.255.0 GW 192.168.1.254) or use assignable via your routers ip allocation page and assign it to one from x.64 - x.253
Do not forget to edit your firewall rules inside of control panel/firewall for said server for 7777-7780 and 27015-27018
Ultimate goal was to be able to join via same computer hosting said server(will always be running) also via the steam server browser and any other PC on my internal Network(ie Family Members)

Hi all, looking for a bit of feedback here. I have a dedicated server running at home, I'm not new to running various game servers. All port forwards and firewall rules have been sorted out (TCP/UDP 7777-7778 and TCP/UDP 27015-27016). I'm wondering if it's something in my launch options causing my server to not appear in the global list:

start /wait E:\TheIsleServer\TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778?MaxPlayers=120?game=Survival -log ?listen
I'm successfully logging into steam
Thanks in advance
Got it sorted, had to change things around, hopefully this helps someone else down the line

Hello there 🙂 Well.. I followed all the guides on the internet about hosting the server, it's up and running but not showing in neither
the game or steam servers. I'm using SteamCMD in a self hosting not a rental hosting. Also when I check for ports in the host with
netstat command I don't find the chosen ports at all.
any help is greatly appreciated
Anyone ever had an issue where your dedicated server seems to drop off the server list after ~24 hours of uptime? I confirmed it's not a session/firewall issue.
I managed to get the server up, now how can I change players names? like adding names to them, ex: [Admin] PlayerName
Does any1 know how i can host a server on ubuntu? if yes dm me please 😦

@timid jungle if you got banned.. its probably just from a specific server
Just play on another server
@naive onyx hey! Got the server up and running and it’s great fun, thanks for the guide. Is there a way to set where the ai spawns? Or will they always spawn around players or at player spawns?
no way to change where they spawn atm
Oh thanks. Are there fixed spawns within the cells that are triggered by players?
how do I host a server? would love it if someone helped me out
@sour vault check the pinned messages for the guide.
Hello, i just set up my own dedicated server but i do not know how to turn off ALT turning
does anybody know how to turn this off?
where can i get in contact wirth the admin ?
Hi, i look for a french personn with knowledge about how to set up a server, to join me to create a private structure
- ( possible remuneration).
MP if interested.
@west patrol bServerAllowTurnInPlace=false
ty
what is this failed? please. : ]LogOnline: Warning: OSS: Async task 'FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamCreateServer bWasSuccessful: 0' failed in 68.910790 seconds
@naive onyx Can we actually turn off AI or control how many are on the map at a time? I can't seem to get any numbers to work.
Those settings have no effect on the ai at this time
This is so frustrating lol
@naive onyx who do I have to pay to make this work xDD but honestly, do you know if they ever plan on changing that? Promise last question.
It’s likely to change along with more options becoming available but we have to wait and see
Mk. Maybe I just keep putting requests in and hopefully someone sees it
or suggestions
I have a quick question about the setting for a server.
I assume the default is just good enough, but is "ServerDeadBodyTime=" set in seconds if I put "10" there? I assumed it might be every ten seconds it's like...a tick off the corpse, but I wanted to ask about that so I don't mistakenly set a time for bodies to despawn that lags the server because they last forever.
Why am I getting this?
Hi, I'm trying to host a server with all Dino's on survival mode. Can someone instruct me how to do so? It keeps giving me all of the base Dino's
Can someone please tell me why this is popping up?
I'm not sure why it does that and when I try and run my sever, I can never find it, but when or if I do, the map says unknown???
@shut bluff Not physically possible right now, you would have to inject people as dinos by manually changing them through their player file.
Hello. I'd need some help to set up my server... I've done everything in Stolid's guide but it hasn't work for me? I am not sure why... also done most solutions
what i need for 150 slot isle server ServerAIMax= and ServerAIRate= anyone tell me ?
If the server setup for people who run them off of their personal rigs changes from what it is now (which is certainly) can the devs please post a step by step guide for how to setup the server on their PC? I am pretty good with computers but no formal education on hosting & internet stuff so finding a viable setup guide online was quite difficult for a long time inaccessable.
@rigid needle Is there any way you could let me see how you have your server directory organized? For me that was the problem.
@rigid needle Yeah sure although I rarely use discord so I am not very familiar with how it works... So long as you could send me a copy of your server files including the .bat file I can compare it against mine & see if organization is the issue?
@indigo fjord I DM'ed you! 🙂
Sent all the pictures of files.
@naive onyx anything wrong in that?
Alrighty. I’ll change that right now.
@tough grove I put Serverstart.bat on theisleserver but I still get the same result.
it still says: Steam API failed to initialize.
try to put -NOSTEAM in the bat file
Where?
Didn't work either :/
what do I type in under disableddinosaurs to have the dryo be disabled? I tried Dryo but that didn't work. Thanks 😄
Good day all. Trying to host my own server and I am not having much luck getting it to work. When I run the bat file, the service will start in windows, but I never get a command shell or anything. Running windows server 2016.
i dont think you are able to get a command pad for your server
atleast ive been told that. It doesnt give me a command pad neither
Can't seem to find any info on specs for hosting. I was hoping I could use a VPS for hosting a 100 player server. Any idea what specs I would need for that?
Good enough for a 100 slot realism server and V3 map?
hello guys i just wantedd to know how i can obtain more dinos for playing like the spinosaurus or austro bc many other people play those?
@merry urchin One way is to make your server sandbox. If you want to play them in survival, you must create them with the player profiles on your server directly.
When the next update hits, will i be able to host my server as usual, or am i gonna have to make an entirely new server?
like, will i be able to just update my server?
can someone tell me why this happens?don't care
what command line??
where?
why are there 2 of my servers now lmfao
and why is map unknown
i hope when evirma comes out there wont be all these issues
im running my server on the same computer , i can see my isle server but i cant play on it and it says unkown for the map . how do i fix it?
How do i make a server?
How does one adjust the map on local hosting? I only get Thenyaw and the Test map. I also don't seem to be able to grow as a non-adult in Sandbox, is there a setting for that?
I've been playing a server and i've been seeing the admins spawn corpses so people don't starve. How do I do that?
@lofty forum You can't just spawn corpses. Most likely it's an admin that teleports to the player and slays themselves.
Ye you’re right thanks
Here’s another question. What CPU would you guys recommend for a 100 player server to run buttery smooth on V3 map?
@undone bear go to pinned messages for this text channel
@naive onyx hey snow is there a way to get the bodies to disappear faster or does that function in game.ini not work either?
@winter coral Please don't advertise your server here. There's a section of the Steam Forums for that.
alright.. but it was for staff searching .. well will do
Yeah... you're advertising for staff. That's still advertising. Please do not do it.
got it. thanks for the information
i cannot find a channel on steam for advertising @restive wyvern, where does it go ? i see nothing with Server
theres a herding, lfr and such but thats not what it is
That's where advertisement goes. It's an imperfect solution.
Otherwise you can try your luck with Reddit, but... yeah.
it's really hard in this game to gather players and generally to attract people. i'am hosting now for over 4 months
Getting your own community off the ground is a hustle. Poach from other communities if you have to; it's all a giant social game. If you're not out being social, you won't attract people.
Do social networking.
you won't believe what i and the rest do 🙂
sadly the most players got their Big servers / like to play on full populated servers / youtuber servers.
For example, i am often on the Official Isle server to make friends and get them over but i wouldn't go on other privates because it's dirtyx
- you get a ban on other servers for that
anyway, i am sure since the beginning, with time come people, Numbers are growing fast on the Discord but also People get bored and leave because they think recode is a big scam and we can't change anything about that, more and more abandon the game atleast til the recode really comes out
You can also have a Discord with 200+ Members but all you ever see the whole day is max 10 players
Okay good. thank you again Saoul, i will be going into the steam forum then now, have a good night / morning / day
can any portuguese or brazilian help?
can someone help me? i already tried to contact the isle support by email but said that dont exist and, the problem is everytime i open the isle and try to play, the same message appears- no servers found 😦
sorry for the bad english im from brazil😐
hello i have a question how i can use Oasis on my serv? what is the command for have map /Game/Mods/Oasis/Oasis? ?
My server should be online but it isnt showing in-game, can someone help me?
@merry urchin check out some of the troubleshooting tips near the end of the guide.
@merry urchin also make sure you are logged in anonymously to steamcmd
could i get some help please im very new to owning a server and want to learn but i dont have a clue what im doing
i need a new server advertising method. Steam forum is not working at all
Maybe twitter?
i live in South Africa
i love the game the isle but playing on overseas servers my ping is always very high.
so i rented a server from GamingEvolved.co.za
my servers name are THE SA ISLE SERVER i wood love promoting growing the game.
tel me how can i reach the sa players to notify them of the sa server?
when can the isle be on promotion on steam for 50% of ?
for the server to be successful the players need to know of it and there need to be players on it.
i would really appreciate any help or advice.
how i can disabled dino dino on sandbox ?
@full fiber gotta go into the Game.ini file and down under the [/script/theisle.igamemode] type DisabledDinosaurs=RexJuvS
or whatever the dino code is that youw ant to disable
@feral prawn I'd suggest making a youtube video and talk about what your server has to offer.
go over the rules and the region of play
things like that
anyone know how to get a bot to request sandox dinos on own server?
to request it prezzo?
Server keeps getting stuck on “match stage changed from waiting to start to inProgress”
I tried restarting computer, running on different computer, restarting router, updating steamcmd and the app... nothing. This server was running fine for over a week with regular restarts
So I love this game to death I have only been playing for about a week now. Still at that note it has become my most played game in that short amount of time. I really want to host a server. The problem is no matter how much money I get I cant get that great of internet where I live. The best plan I could find in my area is 25mbs download, and 2mbs upload. I dont what to do. Can you guys help me figure something out?
Yes so players can request sandbox Dino and I don’t have to do it for each person @bitter garden
Hello all got a question about an old map (region 2 map) i can start the server and join but time is stuck at 12 and no bush and ai spawn and can't drink the water :/ is a problem with map or with the server config ?
@vestal path You can host a server through a third-party provider, you don't necessarily have to host it yourself.
Usually it's more costly having to pay on a month-by-month basis, but that's really the easiest solution if you don't think you'll be able to host it yourself.
oh ok so that's not host on my end I thought was thankyou.
which one would you suggest?
Are we allowed to promote our isle servers here? Don't wanna post something if I am not suppose to.
@undone timber While we do not condone advertisement within this discord, you can advertise your server on The Isle's steam forum within the LF Group section! https://steamcommunity.com/app/376210/discussions/13/
Should be made a rule then cause a mod just told me different @unkempt tangle
Currently running a server through GTX, but having difficulty finding it ingame. It usually takes a good 5-20+ refreshes for it to show, but everything on the GTX control panel says it's fine, and once ingame there's no issues. I can see other servers, and they show up the first try, but ours won't.
Try steam server browser?
Guys, Anyone know the link of Isla matanceros? DM me the invite please.
What server host do you use?
@oblique cape down at the bottom of the game.ini you'll see disabled dinos, put in DisabledDinosaurs=RexJuvS for example
do the same for each different dinosaur
i have been wanting to create a server, BUT the problem is that i tryed and failed, yt vids arent helping.
How to add Hypo in server
be a dev
MrDbear helped you lol
Asked in #🔧-legacy-troubleshooting-🔧 a while ago but solutions given didn't work. Anyone have any idea why I can no longer host a private server from the in-game Host option?
I've tried verifying files, deleting the Saved folder, and a full reinstall, but still can't host
when I click "Host", choose settings, then click OK, the game gets frozen on the black screen and never even makes it to the loading screen
he didnt help me at all
i gave him a feedback
and literally no-one, especially he did not answer
@merry urchin @bitter garden
so I will ask one last time, if I put in the DisabledDinosaurs something, it will disable or enable the dinosaur?
Cause only stupid human would think that putting something in a DISABLED LIST would ENABLE it.
awesome community
@oblique cape putting something in the disabled dino list will disable it so people can't select it unless you go into the files and change their file
Just have a question about admining while in game. I am not sure what I toggled, but AI are showing up on my hud with a marker and their distance. Can i turn this off? (Sorry I am new lol)
press the delete key
Thank you @merry urchin.
the delete key shows all players/a.i, if ur not in spectator it'll only show a small radius of it, then spectator will show it all
@oblique cape all survival dino's are enabled if ur in the default survival so idk why they told you that you had to put them in there to enable them, obviously trolling and no help at all
@still cradle did you get that fixed? I had that and had to contact them, they just put me on another rack with a new IP and files but you can probs save them
well, my friend says there are some dinos missing from the selection, maybe some old ones or so
i am just managing a server for her* xd

she is not sure if its all of these
but most of these
those are non survival so will be disabled on survival
and can they be somehow enabled except through changing them manually?
I don't think you can enable them without making it sandbox
so would have to change that certain player's file
okay, good to know
i am already making a script on discord to change a dino 😄
one thing, what does safe logout mean
or something like that
and what happens if you do or do not do it
safe log is when you wait until the logout timer is gone and then logout
if you dont wait for the timer to go away then your dino will still be in-game and can be killed for I think up to 20mins
hm, then what do other popular servers do to avoid this? i saw a server where you do a command where you choose if you did a safe logout or not
is there something saying in the .json file whether he did or did not do a safe logout?
you still need to safe log on other servers pretty sure, they might have a bot in-game that accesses the files and then when they type a command in the discord it changes their dino
and last thing probably
I have read this on the internet:
Depending on the server they will only give out males, if they dont want any nesting to happen. But some servers also give out females, who often nest, giving you a third option on how to get to play one of the non survival dinos.
What does it mean? Nesting? Like.. dinosaurs can "mate" in the game?
And make "kids" ? xD
females can nest, there isn't a mating feature. in the files when looking at a players file there is a line that will say "bGender":
false = male, true = female
when changing someones file to a non survival you can change this
what does nest mean? 😄 like, what will happen if female nests? 😄
"giving you a third option on how to get to play one of the non survival dinos."
they will make a nest and if you lie down on it eggs will be available and then you can invite players to have an egg and then they will be your baby
@oblique cape you can edit the game .ini file to change the logout time all the way to 0 if you like for injecting but it will be server wide, so your members will be able to combat log
we have a working injection bot on our server and it took some real time and 2 people working on it to make it run smooth
i dont think its that hard, i mean, on X event, bot will change X entry inside X file to X
😄
depending on the steamid of the discord account (that it is linked with)
that's the thing you don't know the steam Id of the person in discord. We have 2 different money systems the bot checks to see if they have the funds when a player requests the dino. If found that they do then the bot asks for the needed info in a templet and they send it back so the injection can happen.
well i will have a separate system for linking steamid
and also verifying
and second system will change the file stuff
we tried that and had a huge issue with the steam Id data base. That and people like to buy dinos for friends.
well, isnt verifying this way enough?:
- user connects steam id
- he is asked to change his name to "nick + unique code"
- verifies
- he can change the name back
It should be but it was causing the server its self to have a random crash when the server pop was 35+ people. Anything below that and it was fine
we will see
there are 2 or 3 people who have working code for just what your trying to do posted for you to use for free and make your own.
idk if i got you right, there is already a code like this, public?
ya I know of 3 other working bots other then the one we made and 2 of them they have their code public
@oblique cape oi. it disables them. Hence the name DisabledDinsoaurs. Yeesh.
Yes I know. And that was NOT the question. Whatever now
How do you host a server?
$$$$$
@alpine edge from your PC or from a host?
Idk like a non dedicated server or just a regular server
Well you can google "The Isle server hosting" and it will come up with places that you can pay for them, or you can use Steam CMD to host it from your own PC for free
Idk if this is where to ask. But i just rented a server and idk how to set up admins on it.
does anybody know what server specs would be needed to host a 100 player server?
i could'nt find it anywhere online how much server ram a 100 player server needs to run fine
allso, will evrima just need my server to update and then it will work fine, or will i have to make a whole new server just to host my server with the new update?
and how much mb/s does an the isle server need per player
upload speed and download speed
Guys. On a rented server how do i open admin commands? Im trying all that Google has told me and its doing nothing
dominus I'm no expert, but I just started hosting my own server and the only way I know is to add the steam ID (number not name) to the line in the game.ini 'ServerAdmins=', I think you need 1 line for each admin.
@slim pawn Configuration Files > Game.ini > Put in a line that says ServerAdmins=their steamid
@west patrol V3 map take sup 4mb of RAM pretty sure so I'd go for 8, what's the host? ALSO I'm hoping with the update we will be able to just use the Steam Update command on our hosts
Also with admin commands dominus you have /goto name, /slay name, /bring name, /kickid their steamID reason, /banid their steamid time reason. Also have /time and then put it in 24 hour time and /weather but I wouldn't touch those too often
My steam id is in and should be working. Im just not sure on the ingame keys to actually open the admin password
Admin password?
To use admin commands you just put them in the chat, using / as the main key
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh its that easy? I was told i had to hit all kinds of keys to admin. And the server i rented has an admin password.........idk why or how it will work in game but i assume i have to prove its me
@slim pawn If you’re unsure of admin commands, there is a handy guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1713698346
Thanks. Ive been looking around but havent found the ones i wanted XD
Ah this gude doesnt mention sandbox dinos on survival.
Ah, no, the guide is only for administrating within the game and not server options/permissions.
@oblique cape
hm?
Dm me with your questions regarding the bots if it is ^^
I Saw your prev talk
With the automated stuff
Or server, in case you felt like you didn’t get an answer
Disableddinosaurs only disables on the select screen - if an admin gives or user has the dinosaur; its still playable
I’m the coder, developer & server engineer (or w/e you wanna call it) for Asura
We have automated dinosaurs
Enable/disable male/female, which servers etc
Juvi & adults
And can restart our servers from discord
Our bot has a custom pointsystem, gambling games, buys etc all developed in house.
So in case you need something or have questions - i hope i can be a help! Same for you @shrewd basin
could someone help me create a server and have it public?
there are some company's selling the servers, pretty easy and fast setup, i got my server that way
Hi I just got the game today and I was wondering how to buy Dino’s. Is there like a specific server or way I can buy them?
there isn't a way to buy dino's unless a server has disabled them and makes you pay to unlock them
you can join servers and there will be options of dinos for you to choose from, those are survival dino's and are seen on survival game mode servers. There are also non-survival dinos that you can see when playing on sandbox servers
if you're on a survival server and want a non survival dino you'll have to ask for one in that servers discord or something
@merry urchin
K
But do you know a server I can join because I’m new and don’t know any servers that has those options.
which region are you? US, Oceanic, Asia, Europe?
@merry urchin Most any server will do, but I'm an admin for a server specifically for new players if you'd like to have a nice place to start.
hello, I am stuck
Does anyone know what would be the price of hosting a server with 200 people on it? I have looked at it myself, but I don't understand how it works or how much storage is needed ^^'
Looking for help on how to create/find a Discord Bot that logs in-game chat messages and sends them to a Discord channel
@tawdry gate not sure there is one, you'd have to get someone to code it for you. You can check the chat logs in the Control panel of whoever it is ur using to host though, it'll show every chat even group ones
@merry urchin price of hosting would depend on who you use to host since they are all different pricing and also how much RAM/CPU you get for it
@tawdry gate
Like this?
I can set it up for you - but just putting it out, that it won’t be free & also depends if the server is rented through a host like (ping perfect) or you’re hosting it on a machine/server yourself
However - it is doable on both (as you see on screenshot)
So everyone externally can login to a dedicated server hosted on my home network but I cannot connect. Any ideas?
@final dove how does your bot get player count? and do you know if their a way to check if a player is currently online?
@calm pasture The one on our Discord updates from steam api; theres a way to count online players - however you can't really see out from that which specific players are online sadly 😦
i know pathos made a dll injector but sadly the bot that he used is no longer active and since he didn't make that open source i would need to disassemble the entire dll to fix it i would need to practically make entire new injector
I'm a big stuck with a new server from a hoster (Nitrado), some players get a black screen when they try to connect. So they should be in the Herby/Carni selection but they have a black screen instead and this happened to me a few times too. Seems to work sometimes and then doesn't work other times, but even with the black screen we can all hear the music and the buttons when we hover our mouses over where they should be. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
@fringe anvil have you contacted Nitrado's support?
Have done just recently and supposedly it may have been a fault with their server, testing it out now after they have transferred us to a different machine
Still seem to be having the issue even with a fresh install on a new machine
I cant get on any servers it just says ''No servers found'' help
Hey does anyone know how to fix the problem of local pcs not being able to connect to a dedicated server?
@weary marlin Can others connect to it? What have you tried?
hey, i want know why i can't put my dedicated server with the map v3? i can just put the map thenyaw land
hello @naive onyx , I tried your tutorial to build a server, however when I start the server and I try the Isle from the same PC I get an error: "The game failed to properly connect to setup the Steam Online Subsystem. Please ensure steam is running and try restarting your computer." The steam is running, server is running, ports are opened, settings are made exactly like in the tutorial, what can be the issue? I even tried with a DNS instead of an IP address to rule out the static IP issue.
@naive onyx got past that error, but now I can't see the server, neither me or anyone else.
all good, I fixed them all 😄
How did you manage to fix them if you don't mind my asking?
how do i turn of alt turn in my server
@naive onyx
I fixed it by removing some parts of the server starting link
there was something that was not allowing me to connect to steam
and also steamCMD I created a script to run it automatically and I had something wrong there as well
@worthy lava add this line "bServerAllowTurnInPlace=false" in your game.ini , without the ""
does anyone have experience with linking a discord bot to the server, for dino injections? Server side I can do most of the stuff, but with discord, I am like a newb.
@worthy lava what’s your server Name?
Somebody knows If The system requirements for hosting remains The same after EVRIMA? And about Linux hosting there some news too?
anyone know how to set up a discord bot for the isle ?
Looking for server hosting recommendations- Looking to get a 30-60 slot server in central US :D
@worthy lava talk to @final dove he's pretty good at that
Not too sure about US (im eu) - i suppose nitrado or pingperfect is you wanna rent it online & just have an easy way of getting your first server!
Buying a actual server in a datacenter is cheaper - we used to spend over 300-400 on servers a month renting. Now we spend 160 for 5-7 servers on 2 pcs cause have them in a datacenter 👀
Can anyone help me looking to change from renting a server to using my own but just wondering what requirements a server needs?
hi all
im a newb
ive just hosted my server on my lapatop and it is working fine but i am having a few prolems
if someone could hole me
help
sorry typo
having an issue with port forwarding, when i change it to how the https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359 guide says, i lose internet connection and my bat wont connect
hi im a newbe on the isle and i have setup a new server on my laptop and its online but i am getting the following errors on the server when i start up
[11:42 PM]
errors on the isle reboot
Explanation for setting up your own Dedicated Server can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359
@Lysander#5623 ive been through this document is there any more configs apart from this document. have the developers written more code.
When i went to host so I can play single player. I forgot to turn growth and scent "ON"
How do I change it back? Because even when I Log out and changed to ON, once were in game it is still "OFF"
Any Ideas?
did you restart once you made the change?
is enough for a server with 50 slots on thenyaw?
is there a way to stop the server after a specific time
@modest patrol If you are using a server hosting service such as pingperfect, you should be able to set up a scheduled task that stops the server at a specific time and then restarts it later.
@fervent sky its a server on a root server
You can restart or stop the specific server in the root or restart/stop the whole root server. Every server hoster is different but there should be a option to set it up. Contact your server hoster for more information.
@merry urchin i would assume it will be more than enough yes
@astral delta Don't see anything wrong in the picture.
Don't mind the yellow stuff
@final dove I would not pay attention to this if the server appeared in the list of servers...
Issue is that you can see it initializes, sets the map & goes inprogress. Which basically means it should run
You sure firewalls are open & ports forwarded to the servers? As Well have you tried to set a strict ip with multihome? (In case it doesnt find without)
Try to ping the servers ip see if there is some kind of connection
Oh i can see you have multihome in it - on your screenshot
**You have port & query port as the same number - there should be one inbetween - ea. Query port as 7778 and port 7777 @astral delta **
- after that the easiest way to test it by adding it to the steam server browser as favorites, since it guarantees to more or less always find the server ~ as where Ingame you can end up refreshing a couple of times
another question, this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359 says that i can run several servers on one pc when i have enough ip's with MultiHome=x.x.x.x in the start batch, but it alwys takes the main ip
It depends if your pc has multi ip inputs - if you just have one you cant split it with multihome
Another solution you can do is list your main ip, then divide the servers with ports
Like server 1: port 7777, query 7778 ... server: 7779, query 7780 etc and onwards
i got multi ip inputs, its a root server with multiple ips and i also added them already
ok ill try
Oh if you have multi ips, then you should be able to multihome it
Hm, i haven’t really played around with multihome even though i host 8 servers currently on 3 RDS in a datacenter.
I hope google can help out or someone else :/
or do i need to add the ips to the firewall permissions for the ports
google isnt very helpfull with the isle servers
Exactly :/
Random article https://sourcedaddy.com/networking/multi-homed-host.html
A multi-homed host is a host (a firewall in this case) that has more than one network interface.
Try to see if theres something
I’m genuinly a little unsure.
I’d reckon theres some ip configuration that has to be done in one way or another
my friend sees and can go to the server, but I do not see. Either I'm dumb or yes...
What should I do with this?
@final dove i also turned off the firewall but didnt help
i did it with different ports on one ip
question: is it bad for the server to be stopped by shut down?
@modest patrol It shouldn't matter too much
@astral delta Did you swap around the ports as i say? Are you trying to host the server yourself on your pc? or same network?
@modest patrol It shouldn't matter too much
@final dove ok, because i see no other solution for an automatic server restart than restarting the whole pc
i have no clue of batch files, or however the game server plattforms do it, i can only do js xD
@modest patrol If its the server itself its always prefered to restart as least as possible - we do it once - tops twice a week.
We have daily game server restarts by having .bat files containing code to "taskkill" the game servers, then in Task Scheduler (windows program) have them start back up around 30 seconds after close
@echo off
cls
taskkill /F /FI "WindowTitle eq Administrator: The Isle Server Window Name Here of the start servers.bat" /T
taskkill /IM TheIsleServer-Win64-Shipping.exe /T /F
exit
We have these in a .bat file that runs evey morning at 6 AM
and then theres a task in the task scheduler to start them back up (the same way you start a server mannually) at 6.01 AM again
omg you are awsome, thank you so much
This bat with the taskkills are also set up in the task scheduler btw
5 seconds prior to them starting back up again
i can do that, last question, if i run several servers, will all get stopped with this batch
Lets say 1 task closes 1 thing
so in the task above it closes 1 console window & 1 server.
Usually i probably will copy/paste them in 2-3 times for each server just to make sure they're getting through 😛

@final dove i tried this on 2 servers and it closed all
oh, i didnt specify the name of the the isle server window name xD
what does this even stop: taskkill /F /FI "WindowTitle eq Administrator: The Isle Server Window Name Here of the start servers.bat" /T
does it kill the batch which started the server?
but why
I usually do that just to get a full reset
and then start up the batch that starts server again with another task
oh ok
alot of the times it will show like a port error in case the server starts too fast after it shuts down
because its still in use
oh ok
so yeah it shuts down the bat
out from the process name
and apparently there is two spaces after Administrator: Server 1
etc (inbetween the : and Server)
- idk windows stupid
xD
The downside with splitting servers on same machine, different ports is that you can end up joining the game server ingame .. and then land on the "other server" randomly
really?
So if you can get the splitting of IPs done somehow, it probably would be prefereble - but idk, asura runs 4 servers on 1 machine with just seperated ports
it doesnt happen too often, and people can just rejoin and try again
hmm, okay, but the thing is, it didnt even worked with firewall turned off
maybe the game doesnt really support it
Blank, i never tried it out myself 😄
maybe after the recode it will work better
we will run 2 servers anyway only while the old version of the game is available
thank you so much for your help
No worries, just write if anything ^^
thanks ^^
ServerDatabase= should be set to what?
I have it set to true, but not sure that's right.
I think people are being kicked...
For example I get this message
LogIDatabase: Error: CharRowName was None for USERNAME despite having valid save data, starting new character creation
LogIDatabase: Warning: Cancelling spawning character for USERNAME
ServerDatabase doesn't work atm (as far as i know) so it shouldn't be set
everything is done through json files
Your message above are quite normal in situations someone joins the server
Ok cool, thank you !
btw i play your servers all the time.
thanks @final dove
Also curious @final dove is time of day also not working? I set the time for a full day to be 15 mins or 60 and it seems the same.
In other words, it doesn't seem to matter what i set for that or maybe I have the wrong data input for it?
@balmy forum never played around with it - i think its kinda hardcoded into the game right now to be a full cycle
I could be wrong
ya i think you're right cuz no matter what i set it to the time seems to go the same speed.
how to deal with DDOS attacks
IOFT discord just got swarmed by spam bots and now the game servers aren't coming back up
@copper cobalt if an isle server is being DDOS'd, you should probably DM punchpacket
@copper cobalt Honestly Punch can't really stop your DDOS attacks (But they could punish the person whos doing it - if you know who it is)
Best case, contact whoever you bought/rent/host your servers on & see if they can change the IPs - or enable some DDOS protecting tools.
I wonder if isla spero will be a heavy map for an 8GB server with a high number of people. I don't understand much about it so I'm in doubt
So I am a server owner and I am trying to get the injections working. But every time I try it auto kills the injected dyno. With that I am completely confused on why this is happening. Can anyone answer that
@finite thunder probably spawns too High
You sure you set x y z ?
On my 5 servers that has auto inject they all died untill x y z locations on the map was copied with them
@final dove can i still host a server if i don't do the port forwarding? i say this because it disables my fire wall and can let viruses on my computer. if there is a way plz let me know. i hope that there is a way. :3
Usually a firewall would have nothing to do with actual viruses on your pc - its more of you network being "attackable"
Technically you can be lucky, but since you have firewall currently 'on' I'd imagine you have to port forward the gameserver port & query port you enabled. Take in mind these ports will be closed again, since you have the servers running in their spots.
ok
thx
so much
doesn't opening the port let viruses in because closing the port acts as a filter for viruses hence keeping them out
if i were to open the port by forwarding the port would that let viruses in my computer?
@final dove
is there a way to host a server without port forwarding? and thank you for your time. @final dove
Regarding the comments made in the discussion chat, if it is really optimized it could consume up to 16 gb, the important thing is to correct the ping problem above 100 players.
The transmitted data increases in geometric progression but even if you use the best resources, the problem is located in the application that leaves the server online.
but can i host a server without port forwarding? if i have to use port forwarding, is there a safe way to do this without letting viruses into my computer?
No, but you are more susceptible to attacks and invasions.
I recommend you hire a specialized service, try looking for Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform.
ok
Does anyone have a bat for announcements on server, to say sent a message to the server every 3 hours or what not? Or can you only do this manually?
As in you wanna have something written ingame on the server without being online?
Requries manually work sorry :(
Unless you wanna mod your server with new .dll files, which i am not too fond of doing
ya nah
does this support rcon?
i've heard it is shut off or doesn't work.
we'd be able to send commands that way automatically.
as well could do a lot of other useful things from a less memory intensive UI.
not have to join the game or what not
rcon used to work but they have since removed battleeye and thus rcon is no more

Does anyone know how much bandwidth for upload is required per player?
when Evrima comes out, will we have to re buy/Host the server again or can it all be transferred over?
You won’t need to rebuy most likely
will i be able to just update my server when the update releases?
or will i have to set up an entirely new server?
for evrima
@naive drift its just a game Update
@west patrol yes, its a game Update - your hosting provider will probably Update the servers
Ive bumped into some problems when trying to host my own server, i get the problem that i can boot up the server and its visible and other peeps can join, but i cant even get the isle to cooperate so that myself can join in... ive tried different ports, re-doing the whole process of installing shit and all that (2times) , i dont know if ive done my batfile correctly even, and not too sure about my portforwarding skills on my TP-link router 😦 If anybody want to help me ill appreciate it so much 🙂
@tulip pendant Does The Isle just gives you a Steam warning message when you open the game or you can't find the server at all?
@vague oasis it says that it has a subsystem failure. And ive tried to switch ports to see if that made any difference, but either there were no difference or the server wouldnt show up anymore for some reason.
Can someone here please help me on making a discord server?
*making a Isle Server
nvm
So I have a question that I think only a dev is going to be able to answer. I currently host a server on the isle and want to continue doing so after everything is released. With what I have seen about the size of the map and the issues with one server being able to run it I'm worried that my current setup won't cut it. With out giving away to much info is there anything you can tell me to try and prepare for this as for server requirements or even the number of servers I will need to host, to fully support the game. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work, Love seeing your creations become a reality.
@shrewd basin not speaking from direct experience with The Isle, but I have hosted servers for bigger games suck as Ark, Atlas, and Arma 3 loaded with mods. I don't imagine a server for The Isle is horribly resource heavy to the point where you'd have to worry about hardware. Depending on your current hardware, and of course how many people you plan to have on the server at once, you should be just fine with a light hardware config. For example, I've run 2 Ark servers on an old quad-core AMD with 8GB of RAM and didn't have any issues. Granted there were less than 5 people, so there wasn't a lot of data coming and going.
Hello, I own 3 servers for the isle located in Canada, if anyone wants to join we are searching moderators!
Not the place for advertising
hey anyone who can make me a bot for my isle server plz
If I use my PC to play games, will I be able to play on my server?
Anyone know what is happening with GeForce? They said they would have news days ago
Does anyone know what the script is for a server automatic restart? 
I'm tryna make it so I can make my Isle server public, How can I do this? 
@radiant parcel This guide explains how to make a public server - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359
Just have a question, I am trying to find the command where you spawn yourself, or another player as a juvenile sandbox Dino, how can I do this? 
Hope this helps 
Someone help me pls I open TheIsleServer folder open TheIsle, I cant find the saved folder, the tutorial says to open the saved folder
pls help
anyone..?
Apologies if this is already addressed somewhere, but was wondering if there was a way to save/pull the logs of global chat?
ok nvm I got it
@nimble saffron you can pull them to discord with a bot script - quite easily 🙂
Hmmmm, will have to try to find one
@nimble saffron Don't think anyone has a public one 🙂
Most servers have their own private bot coders who do it (I know asura, nublar etc has one)
Yeah, I might ask our guy who does the Discorf bot but we're just a smallish server still
How does one find a server to play on?
@weary heath You can google servers. Some promote on Disboard (yes it’s not Discord lol). You can look at Steam as well, some people in the discussions tab for The Isle promote there 
Our stream is online The Isle of Hope
If you want you can look =)

Will there be other server settings with the game update?
Potentially. Remains to be seen in my opinion
Also, @bright widget I think that belongs in #videos-and-streams
I know this is probably easy, but how do you go into spectate mode?
The \ key
if we have 150 players, to have at least 1 ai for each player i just need ServerAIMax=150 or do i also need to increase ServerAIRate
that setting isn't valid at this stage
Already is one, they just don't show up on the server listing for Official servers due to an inherent server bug
If I were to buy an isle server today would I have to buy another one when Evrima drops?
What is evrima xD
The update
someone said to me on a different server that admins on your server won't be able to tp, and grow. is that true? i want to confirm so i can plan for my own server
@heavy narwhal no, its a game Update
You will need two if you want one in the different branches - like 1 old server in current isle; 1 new from envrima
3 questions:
How will hosting a server in EVRIMA look like? Can one run a server on Legacy and EVRIMA at the same time?
Also, how would you make two dedicated servers on the same machine? Like what would the external and internal port numbers be for a second one?
@slender finch yes you can, so far its public that the game will have multiple branches like envrima & legacy. So unless something changes, then yes.
Also for your port, thats easily possible - you select yourself what range they have - i suggest having the main server running standard ports, then for second one you just bump it it up with +1 so they dont overlap
@final dove having any odd issues with server crashes?
also noticed yesterday officials were crashing.
you have an auto restart bat?
Yeah
and hey @final dove since you seem to be the server guru here, what will we have to do with the update to ensure the servers are working? Will they let us know what server options are available, will there be new options? Or can we simply update the server and change the map and we're good?
I think they will let know, but i believe you can add -beta evrima or -beta legacy to the server configuration line in your bat and decide what branch you would be on.
I don't know which one will be default, so it kinda depends on that (If you the normal game will be default & you need to change into evrima .. or if evrima is default and you need to select the legacy)
So depending on the game you wanna have your servers on there should be a commandline to swap branch, and i think they announced they will have 3 different branches so far
Legacy
Evrima
and Development/QA/Beta w/e
Cool, you going to run legacy and Evrima servers?
Yeah! :)
you can see there
the name is what you will go for, where public will always be the default one when downloading .. so i suppose public will be evrima once release, and they will move the current public intro legacy
yes I would agree
We'll run 1-2 legacy and 2-3 evrima ones
- all depending on how fast they spit out content or if one branch will be dead of players
Yes ^^
yep
i play the no rules ones
and sometimes deathmatch
😉
cept deathmatch map has been all glitchy as heck lately for me
^^
so I was thinking, with legacy it might be best to have only 100 slots per server? Your thoughts. I was thinking this about your servers actually with them having 150 and the AI issues, you know having 3 servers at 100 versus 2 at 150, might make the servers better with AI, just a thought.
I was thinking of legacy to keep them at 115-150 slots as we have currently at least.
For Evrima i am unsure if its only the public servers that will be capped at 50, or if private servers will be too ~~ so unsure there, if its not capped i believe we will try 100 slots
We have two computers (Dedicated servers) in a German Datacenter ^^
yes
cool so you can make servers on the fly love it
so much fun
🙂
Have you ever setup a server for 7 days to die?
can modify everything
I'd love to see that in the Isle
I have not no, this is a chat for The Isle 😄
well i know
But no, I've done BoB etc
not going into that other gamy just saying you could modify every aspect of the game to create totally custom gaming experiences to your liking.
so if we applied that to the isle, we'd be able to change, grow times, health amounts, bite forces, etc etc.
as well when a community is modifying the game in this way it can sometimes provide some good balancing info for the devs.
i don't know
people might not be down for that with the isle
especially those who prefer official servers only, the hard core players.
be fun though 🙂
So how would you set a server for evrima and one for legacy at the same time?
What is legacy xD ? Sorry idk Something about that stuff xD
Legacy will be the current game maintained on a server, and the main game will be EVRIMA
So I can Play The current Game after recode still ?
In all likelihood, yes, on Legacy Servers
Depends on what you want to spend, the size of server, and your level of tech. If your tech is high using a old gaming rig is the most cost effective way and maybe the most reliable. If not just search server hosts I have used most of them they all seem to work but all have different issues. Like updating the game a week after the update came out or having the servers so locked down you can't really change much. I have also had issues with their hardware going down and 2 days later they decide to respond back to your ticket that your server is down.@plucky dragon
A rented server would cost roughly 100-150$ for a month for roughly 150 slots
On a short guess.
Where as you can technically rent a machine in a datacenter for 80$ and host 4-5 servers on that instead
Ok
Hello! I want to have my own server and I found this service, do you know if it works well? https://pingperfect.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=2
ok with the recode how will server owners transfer to the recode version?
Will Admins be able to grow players after Evrima?
@rugged owl Pingperfect is an average server host, but seems like a good start 🙂
@heavy narwhal I can say that they will but you can do it Via the Tab menu now rather than type /grow
@worthy lava You will have to Steam Update your server along with the Evrima update 😉 Hope this helps. There should be button on your server control panel
but will we have to buy another server to run the update?
Exactly 🙂
ok will we ever be able to play as hypos?
No one knows
Perhaps on the recode. I mean didn't dondi say that there will be some kind of mutated trees and the replicator?
@native ether I don't think thats server hosting related 😛
@final dove I was just answering @worthy lava's question...
OOooooOh, ups!
thought it was seperate lmao.
forgive me 😄
Lol
ok thanks
@steep vector
@worthy lava Yes?
What server host are you using
nitrado
dms
sure
actually can u join general?
Hellooo guyys
Hello There,
i'm hosting Servers for my Community on a dedicated root computer.
What we need to do to migrate If the update arrives?
How's the overall vibe for unofficial servers on here? Few people in my community suggested we host servers for it.
Like are they more or less private ones with friends or is it common for randoms to join up and play as well or do most people stick to officials?
It really depends on your community.
Sometimes a random player pop up. He/She is maybe looking for a server to play on or is a new player. If you be nice and kind to these players the may stay and play on your server.
The more ppl you have on you server 10+ for example the more likely it is that more players will join. If there is a friendly atmospehere you can fill your server with players.
As a server owner what commands are gonna be in at the release of evrima? Or will they remain the same as what they are now
Has there actually been any released information with regards to updates/changes to server commands / server setup for the new updates? If not, I'm sure more people than me wished there'd been some more heads up regarding this sort of stuff so that we can be better prepared for rolling over to the recode.
@tropic wasp They’re currently working on server documentation for Evrima - atleast for hosting. Expect it to be out in a couple of days; unsure if they reach it before launch.
Thanks. I hope it gets to us soon.
Would anyone mind helping answer a question I have? Earlier in Paradym's stream, it seemed like he was saying that we will be unable to host a dedicated server upon initial release due to the binaries being unavailable and still being a work in progress. Does anyone know whether this the case or not? Or will third party providers be able to host Evirma Servers day one? Otherwise having to play on Official Servers only until the server hosting binaries are released to the public?
A friend and I are considering splitting the costs on an Isle server via PingPerfect. For the upcoming map's update, for 20 slots (till we need more), will we need "extra memory" for smooth operation? Already have SSD and Above Normal CPU selected.
(Please @ me or I won't see)
Got my server thru Ping, setup the config, and pressed "start server" like 5 mins (now 10 mins) ago, and it's not showing up, how long does it take? xD
Edit: Now it's been over 30.
@hollow moon check ur dm
Can't we discuss here? I'm confused.
(Edit, finally fixed)
dann spar mal 😄
@grave pilot xD
@stoic garnet its true - dont expect to host your own dedicated upon release, i reckon they will work and release it with the documentation asap after release
So looks like we have to play official servers for a little while 🙂
okay thanks
can't wait to see what options they give us
anyone know when the update will drop? Midnight?
can i get this verified with a dev or admin or something when will server owners be able to get access to the recode?
@worthy lava check the messages above, it might be a few days.
update first, then server options for server admins.
when was this told
@final dove mentioned it I believe.
yh but where did he get this information
Probably from the devs. He's like the server guru here. So if anyone would know it would be him I'm sure.
I don't know if anyone really knows for sure though
that the server branch is not out yet
Server branch will release within a week hopefully 🙂
Untill then we play on official servers
🙂
Was said on dev stream - yesterday
Probably will be an announcement later, as they're making the documentation for the servers currently so server owners know what to do
mmmmmmmm can u show me proof
haha
fair enough
ya I wouldn't worry too much @worthy lava
Expect official servers only @worthy lava from start - and hopefully the server hosting tools during week
yes no leakers
and cross fingers
We can be lucky it releases tomorrow by any means
but don't expect :d
just trying to figure out what i need to tell them
ya i'd imagine too it would just be updating the server to the new branch. but we need to know server config too.
I think there will be an announcement about it.
Here today, or later.
In case of Envrima launch i expect somewhat 24 hours since the announcement of streamers being able to play on stream - so perhaps in roughly 24 hours from now
unless they release later on the day
i think too it will be a bit before we can abandon legacy.
players will play the new and then go back to legacy while envrima develops.
so good to keep your legacies setup for a bit.
possibly
Is this if you own your own box vs renting a dedicated box? From my understanding Ping perfect will have access to the map on release
does anyone know what couses these hangs
it doesnt crash, its just a huge server lag
would i be able to host a dedicated server on legacy, whilst playing the recode version at the same time?
Yes
So you don't have to uninstall/reinstall different branches, you'd be able to play legacy with the evrima update? (Please @ me or I won't see)
@modest patrol might be your service provider
no it doesnt, there are running other huge the isle server on the same servers
Yea
It happened to me too
Something must be messed up with your server settings.
Just because there’s is fine don’t mean yours will be i ran into that
the isle server.exe
that’s something you don’t control that would be the game host
That would be my best bet is to contact them and let them know your server is experiencing a weird lag issue.
Is the map for Isla Spero on Google Images the correct map for the update? Trying to find a good spot for our server to have a "Safezone" that has bushes for herbis, a water supply, and a good spot to hang out at.
(This map which shows on Google Image search: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/isle/images/0/04/Hope.jpeg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/310?cb=20200208132221 )
Wrong Map, we are getting Isla Spiro first not Spero
Trying to find the correct map to find a potential spot. What's the right image? Google Search isn't much help it seems.
i think there is no image for Spiro
Hopefully soon then, our server is meant to be a chill, relaxing survival server. (one single 'safezone' particularly useful for new players, rest is wilds)
Have the devs released the server build for Evrima yet, or is it coming with the release tomorrow?
Unsure if you will be able to host from a private service immediately but there may be hope if you host through a service. Punch is having a meeting with devs about this so we will all know soon.
Will Evrima have "admin reserved" slots as an option or?
@simple veldt I don’t mean to bother you, but the server I’m a part of has a nice growing community and seems to be in a similar situation, would you mind pointing me in the right direction of where you found this info that pingperfect servers might receive the server binaries sooner than others?
How this line will change in game files? What should we write to change to the new map Isla Spiro.
"/Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?
Thank you.
My server host lets me pick the map, its a drop menui lol
How do you add admins to your server through Nitrado?
How do you add admins to your server through Nitrado?
Solved the above question, I'm her server's co-owner. Our question now is: How do you set injected dino gender?
Gender is true or false. False is Male True is female
It’s in the same doc as the player info. Where it lists there Dino and growth and other stuff like that
@old bramble i would like to know that too...
My server host lets me pick the map, its a drop menui lol
@finite maple Some have dedicated servers, so we have to know what @old bramble asked 😉
Yea I know 🥰
mmmm
So I take it there is no documentation anywhere yet for those hosting a server and what we will need to do?
They are working on it
How can I inject dinos to other players with discord?
you need a bot of some kind to do spawn in from Discord
When I was first learning to inject Dinos I also found this guide very useful - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1231855950
@old bramble i would like to know that too...
@shrewd frigate Same! If someone finds out before I do I would love to be notified
I will also shamelessly plug my tool that assists with doing faster, more efficient injections. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1828211071
We love a shameless plug
But ngl that looks like it slaps and I think I’m going to try it out to save me some time 
@shrewd frigate Same! If someone finds out before I do I would love to be notified
@cedar girder aye...
But I still don't know
Guess it’s just a waiting game then..
Guess it’s just a waiting game then..
@cedar girder It seems so... is it still allowed to tag punchpacket?

Says so in the rules still. So I don't see why not
@cedar girder Who dares? XD XD XD
@cedar girder Who dares? XD XD XD
@shrewd frigate RIGHT skjskjs
This is a busy time for them, so I don't want to be a bother and ask about something that will probably be announced later
Would this be the place to ask if only official servers will be up for the recode? So people who own their own server won’t have it right away?
