anyone can tell me a good tutorial for how to make a legacy server?
#server-hosting
signal root
Doesnt work in Australia though for some reason
Me and 2 friends tried and we're aussies and it didnt work
Does anyone know y?
violet marsh
There's several reasons that it might not have worked, but I doubt that trying to host from Australia was the problem, as there are Australia based servers last I checked. It depends on what you mean by it didn't work, but it could have been anything from you didn't forward your ports right to put a wrong line in one of the configuration files.
signal root
when we tried doing the port forwarding step it didnt work and we werent getting any internet connection, but that could also be something we missed as we habent done that before
Also the DNS addresses dont work for some reason (if we missed something idk)
tidal hare
@final dove thank you very much! ^^
pure wind
So, our server got hacked and anytime we try to log into it, it redirects to one of those chinese asshole servers. Anyway for us to recover our server back?
final dove
You sure it just isn’t a chinese server copying your name?
Otherwise i suggest talking with your host - change name a slight bit / different port
pure wind
Yeah, we know it'a for sure our server. We closed it down for now. We'll try that next.
clever snow
I'm with Jericho, and our name has been stolen, not the server itself. However, when we log in it still redirects to a completely different server. I assume there's nothing we can do about this?
clever snow
Yeah so far they haven't gotten on to my server either, just copied the name.
final dove
Thats the point of it - they just copy your name and redirects (on join) to a chinese server - has nothing to do with what ports used ^^
But luckily the servers are easy to spot out since the amount of players & ips are identical
abstract crane
I need assistance when setting up the server to show up in the list. I start the server start up bat file but the server does not show up in the list. The one error I see in the command line is Steam API failed to intiliaze. I dont know if that is the reason it is not working but something is wrong
abstract crane
abstract crane
Okay it is no longer showing that error but the server is still not showing up on the list. Ive tried multiple different methods to no avail anyone have any ideas on how to make it show up? I have already checked through the forums.

violet marsh
The folder in that image named TheIsleServer is wherever you downloaded or installed the server to on your computer. Once you go to where you downloaded your server you should see the TheIsle folder and follow it from there.
And then as long as you installed the server correctly you should see all of those files and should be able to edit them appropriately @idle scroll

how do I run a server with a vpn/different ip
vivid grove
When it comes to in-game admin'ing, how does one use the Admin "ESP" thing like ive seen anthomnia use? I got it to work once but by accident idk what key i pressed. We have a trouble maker and I want to be able to watch where he goes without needing to use spectator ( \ key)
violet marsh
It's either the end key or the delete key, one of the two. But it's only implemented into Legacy, not Evrima yet last I checked.
vivid grove
Ok thanks, and yeah im on legacy.
final dove
@shut epoch I’d say you should contact the g portal staff for it, thats why they are there :p to guide you through

Guides for both the legacy version and Evrima are available in the pinned messages. If you follow those and get stuck somewhere then you can come back and ask a more specific question then we'll be more likely to help.

when I start my server I get these 2 warnings

[2020.10.25-15.23.11:162][ 0]LogOnline: Warning: STEAM: Steam API failed to initialize!
Do these have anything to do with no one being able to find the server in the server list?
final dove
Yes
slim gale
Fake server on the bottom, it has hypos on it and stole my servers name. What should I do
violet marsh
Nothing you can do at the moment as far as I'm aware. Just inform your players that your server is the one with the correct player limit. I'm not sure if those fake servers copy MOTD's as well but you could add into the top of it "This is the real xxxxxxx" so that players know upon joining.
primal shadow
Hello, i am one of the admins on a rented server, its legacy/survival/V3, we noticed female suchos cant nest, is there a reason its disabled? Is there a way to fix it?
tidal hare
@primal shadow did you tryed to bite in air and try make the nest?
primal shadow
Yes, i always do that, nesting works with every dino except the sucho female :/
ivory pivot
Is there a way to run a server off AWS? i can't find anything about it
tidal hare
@primal shadow i remember I had the same problem, but I forgot how I resolved it. If it's a rented server, try to contact the ones you rented from. They are there to help you.
primal shadow
@tidal hare Thanks, will do!
final dove
I'm not sure the renters will help out tbh. Its not their game, and since its a game issue - they might not even have a clue about what you're reffering to 😛
Try to bite the ground, rejoin the game & see if it fixes.. Could be that suchos can't nest (i cannot remember tbf, never nested as a sucho lol)
shrewd cobalt
Is there a way to change a player to a spino or other dinos in game?
ivory pivot
no the player needs to safe log
shrewd cobalt
was that reply for me Tomato?
shrewd cobalt
How though i still not sure how to spawn any dino to a player.
even if there logged off.
ivory pivot
on a local server or hosted server?
shrewd cobalt
hosted through Nitrado
I am logged in as admin but no commands to do it or maybe i wasnt looking hard enough.
ivory pivot
do you have access to the server database?
ivory pivot
i know how to do it on a local maybe it will work. go into your files and there should be a file named databases. you are going to open that fiile and open which gamemode your server is. open players and find the player ID (steam).
shrewd cobalt
ok
ivory pivot
open the ID should be a text file and you need to change a few things
shrewd cobalt
ok what now.
ivory pivot
you have text file open?
you are going to go to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1231855950 and get the dino code that you want the player to be
shrewd cobalt
yes
ivory pivot
then change the growth to 1.0 (full grown) and hunger, thirst, stamina, health to 9999
shrewd cobalt
wait what if i dont want them to have that much health what if i want it to give default?
ivory pivot
it will set to the max health of the dino
shrewd cobalt
so you mean 9999 it will just default to 200 or something maybe less maybe more?
ivory pivot
yes it will just set the max health of the dino it won't give them 9999 health
when you are done editing the file do ctrl + S to save it
ivory pivot
yes that should do it
shrewd cobalt
whats "UnlockedCharacters": "", do?
ivory pivot
thats for the growth of your dino
if i grow from a juvi rex it will say that i have unlocked it
shrewd cobalt
Oh
ivory pivot
it does not do much
shrewd cobalt
Also pregression points isnt that no longer required on survival?
ivory pivot
that's only for the pregression gamemode
shrewd cobalt
Nitrado doesnt have that gamemode.
ivory pivot
well i guess they don't offer it then

this worked for me, hope it helps
@lime moon

@queen sentinel yes, i just checked back. but i noticed the update isnt working at all for dvtestlevel
the steam cmd is also not downloading the update for my thenyaw map, even tho the .bats are the same just with different install_dir´s

So is there a difference to host from normal and the new legacy branch? If so how do I set it up dofferrently
finite maple
I was about to as the same, do i just update the server? do i need to do anything special?

I'm having the same problem. The other owner and I have put in a support ticket to our host, and they're having a look at it now.
I'll let you guys know how they fixed it if they do xD

I did a reinstall (after backing up player files and settings) and it seems to have fixed the issue for me

so its only possible to play on evrima now ?

anyone know how to update to the newest patch on ping perfect?
violet marsh
the big steam update button on the gamepanel.
If you're meaning update to Evrima then I'm not entirely sure, it's been a minute.
graceful whale
to update your server on the legacy version on ping perfect, you have to stop the server, and the click the 'update from steam' button. A new window will appear, and you have to wait until it has downloaded, installed and verified the installation. Once it says something like 'process is complete' at the bottom, you can close the new window. To be on the safe side, I waited 10-15 minutes before starting my server again after the update. Once that was done, I had no issues on the server side.

glass pulsar
Hey guys - hosting my own server to play with a few mates. I have been following the quick start guide, its a little confusing.
I had a server running on legacy, with 2 people connecting, and it all worked fine.
I tried the same with evrima and installed the server according to the 'Quick-start guide' but when i run the "theisleserver.exe" for the first time in order to generate the files in "TheIsle\Saved\Config\WindowsServer" it doesn't create anything apart from "GameUserSettings.ini"
at the moment when i run steam CMD i am telling it to install using the command "app_update 412680 -beta evrima" is this still correct?
How should I launch the game? for the legacy server, the guide i followed had a batch file as part of the setup process, is there something similar I could use for this?
If anyone has a link or any guidance it would be much appreciated!
supple nebula
@glass pulsar I'm having the same problem with my server have not been able to fix it I was told to just open and close the bat file but after doing it a lot of times it still has not worked no one else has come to help me so if you figure it out could you let me know how you did it and I'll do the same in return if I figure it out so far nothing is working. I think this part might be the problem for me.
my server was working just fine before this new update.
final dove
@supple nebula This here doesn't appear to be due to an update change.
Are you hosting this server on your own pc?
supple nebula
yes it was working fine before the update
hasty hinge
What sort of specs would a PC need or to run a server? Or does it not matter too much
clever snow
It would need amazing specs and to be on and running permanently, which is why most people use external hosts
hasty hinge
Wdym external hosts
final dove
Is your server updated?
final dove
Wait, is it evrima?
lime moon
yes
lime moon
I am currently taking care of the firewall to open my ports.
clever snow
@hasty hinge You want to find a host such as GTX or PingPerfect rather than using your own machine unless you plan to have it running 24/7 and not use it for anything else.
limpid cove
im assuming theres no way to lock time to day, now that /time is gone?
clever snow
When was /time disabled? It was working yesterday 🤔
limpid cove
the most recent update
clever snow
You have got to be kidding me
clever snow
Ugh
I know I complained about the Chinese copy-cat servers stealing server names but at least the game worked
limpid cove
bring /time back
clever snow
^
clever snow
Events are going to be so damn hard to run
It might be possible to set a server so day lasts several hours, but you'd have to restart regularly
limpid cove
i have time of day set to the maximum value
but it wasnt working before
and start time of day isnt working either
it just starts at morning
violet marsh
I don't think that any of the config settings regarding time of day or day length have worked at any point.
clever snow
I used to be able to change them
clever snow
Ok so you can change them but /time night makes the sun rise
limpid cove
really?
for me /time does nothing at all
no matter what i put
and the default server start time has no effect

Does anybody else host their Legacy server on Nitrado and is unable to restart the server since the update? I already contacted support, but they don't seem to know what to do, either.
hasty hinge
how much does it cost to run a server
clever snow
Depends on the host. I run a 50 player one that costs 42.01 USD a month. With player donations it can run itself just fine.
hasty hinge
Damn. I dont have the money for that just yet
candid marsh
I also run a 50 player server, but its costing me about 60 a month
also, glad I'm not the only one who encountered the time problem
I have my servers day/night to last 45 minutes and the sun is setting at noon/rising at midnight
hasty hinge
Lol
brisk iron
I'm assuming that we are still using app_update 412680 without anything extra for the dedicated servers on the latest version of legacy 1.56. Assuming that's correct, whenever I try to boot the server it seems like it's going to work, then this spams my logs and it never loads the server. It spams
LogPhysics: Warning: UWorld::FindTeleportSpot called with an actor that is intersecting geometry. Failed to find new location likely due to actor's root component not being a collider component. until it decides to stop. I have thousands of lines about this in the log.
Any ideas?
final dove
Its normal, dont worry about that encryption
And yes we still use that app Update ^^
@mint escarp nothing has actually changed on how you do restarts, or how the server client works - so nitrado has to sort their stuff... because technically its the exactly same as before, lol
clever snow
Not entirely sure why, but it's happening to everyone. It isn't causing trouble it's just weird
mint escarp
@final dove OK thanks, that's good to know. I'll keep bugging nitrado support then. 😉
vital granite
@hollow shard also seeing you are playing legacy, "high ai" isn't a thing. That setting doesn't work
clever snow
It should do - I'm able to change AI rates (though again that could have changed ¬_¬)
final dove
It doens't.
AI settings don't work and havent worked for years
This here is a comment from Dondi himself
The options are there in game.ini, maybe you feel it changes something - but it technically doesn't 😄 .. Its from the previous AI that (Deathly?) made, which got removed years ago. Current AI is Foszors and is just hardcoded
clever snow
That is weird, because on my server AI rates and max spawns have definitely changed when edited, unless it's a massive coincidence.
There was a particular point where one of my players was getting literally swamped by AI, did a restart with a settings change and the AI levels dropped.
final dove
I honestly just think it is.
AI depends on the amount of Carnivores, position, etc - like some unknown factors (it doesn't spawn for a Herbi) & it has a tendency to just smash all down in 1 spot.
I honestly think its just random, and a coinincidence more than planned
I did some testing a while back with the AI settings, nothing seemed to happen (with 150 players active & 1 player active on v3)
Whenever i play herbi, no AI spawns near me - and everytime i hear an AI theres a carnivore around - at least thats what i somewhat gathered.
And obviously sometimes it feels like AI doesn't exist
clever snow
Yeah it spawns by hungry carnivores and by nests is what I've found - but there is definitely a maximum as if there is lots of AI spawned elsewhere on the map by other carnis, none will spawn near you
final dove
Yeah, i honestly just think its a massive coincidence - but its of course hard to know since the code isn't public.
clever snow
I assume it's to prevent an ai-pocalypse
final dove
I have a feeling we gotta put trust in Game director (owner) for this comment 😄
final dove
Also your time commands are fixed again, just in case you didnt notice 😄
vital granite
I've done a lot of AI testing.
Nests dont increase AI spawn, that too is a myth.
AI spawns around carnivores that have <70% food.
Once every x amount of seconds the game updates where you are and spawns ai in a circle around that spot. Because of the infrequent interval, if you're moving, AI spawns almost always behind you. Gif to help you visualize it a bit better
https://imgur.com/a/sTa3m7r
The AI setting does not work, and hasn't for over a year.

Can I ask a question, why is it that the server name and game name has changed since the update, when using "steam server status" for a bot I made? I also can't find my server on a web site I use to track recent player numbers?
hollow shard
Does anyone had a problem of Admins not able to toggle on/off nameplates?
clever snow
So, can we not host servers anymore?
@rich saffron No, you can still host servers
final dove
@tawdry sentinel Steamworks was most likely updated to a newer version within the game to help dealing with the Chinese cloned servers - having it as numbers makes it more easier to prevent.
Evrima was numbers as well on release, so we gotta wait and see.
Why it says unreal test as the game is a different story though, Might be an issue
tawdry sentinel
Ah I get it, and thanks 👍
final dove
I am a bot developer myself @tawdry sentinel I'd suggest just forcing it to output The Isle instead of unrealtest though - and get the server name to output the actual server name through code 😄
tawdry sentinel
Tbh the name/game for the bot doesn't matter too much as I use it for the number of players online. It's more the fact that I can't find it on a website I use to keep track of player numbers and what not. However we'll just have to see how it goes, as I would prefer it to be like that then have copy cat servers
hollow shard
Does anyone had a problem of Admins not able to toggle on/off nameplates?
violet arrow
Is anyone have issues with repeat server crashes or is it possibly a unique hosting issue?
final dove
@hollow shard I see you had a response in #🔧-legacy-troubleshooting-🔧 to fix it.
@violet arrow I am not sure, like we haven't personally experienced any more crashes at all since the patch.
It could be a server issue or potentially some corrupted server files?
I'd suggest talking with the host, or check the log files through of the server to see if anything
violet arrow
Ah thank you! Do you know if there's any specific to make note of/log (connection, config, ect)? I'm not super versed in server stuff so we can check them but I don't know specifically what to look for if it's a possible game glitch happening.
They did try to update the server and it still happens, so I'm sure they'll contact the host as well now. Thank you for your reply ♥
hollow shard
@final dove Its been taking cared of thank you
But does anyone know why players cant see a specified server? But can join other servers.
frigid shell
Hey i have a question.^^ We started a official server and everything works but how can i get the spino and all the other dinos to our server?^^

Either changing the gamemode to Sandbox or manually changing the player database files to make players spino and other dinos.
which there should be a guide on steam somewhere on that

What server host is good for EVRIMA servers.
cedar umbra
how do you host a evrima server?
clever snow
You need to find a host such as GTX (which I use) and pay for however many slots, memory, etc. you want.
merry urchin
where i can find an UPDATED list of commands line/ game option ?
merry urchin
can find any way to start without VAC
violet marsh
@merry urchin For Evrima you press either end or delete and bring up a panel where you can use administrative commands, or with Legacy you type the commands into the chat /command and for a list of commands you can reference the below image (text's a bit small but it should be readable):
dark kettle
That's not what they need. They need the batch file command line parameters to disable VAC.
violet marsh
Yeah I realized but ultimately I'm not even sure if you can. I think the game has to set up a way for you to disable it and I don't think that they've set it up that way. I could be wrong though
merry urchin
Usually we can do that on any game
Their wiki is outdated and the only param are for BattlEyes wich is not even in the game anymore

Hey ,
I have a Dedicated server for Legacy hosting. I have make the last Update and now i cant set Admins.

you can change it for example from RexAdultS to ParaJuvS
or mess with their food and water stats
make them sitting

That's your only choice. In Game Host button basically creates a single player world, it doesn't allow others to join.

Hi, here we go again... XD
I like to host a dedicated EVRIMA-Server. I set everything up and start the server. Unfortunately it doesn't show up ingame and I got this error message while starting... any ideas or advice? :)
Or is there a new way to set up an EVRIMA-Server? I used the pinned .doc file
violet marsh
The pinned file is supposed to be the up-to-date way to host, but that error seems to indicate a missing or corrupted file. Try running the app_update step again and then trying again to see if that fixes that error.
I'm also not entirely sure if that error is what would be causing the server to not appear, but any error is a bad error so doesn't hurt to try it @shrewd frigate
shrewd frigate
The pinned file is supposed to be the up-to-date way to host, but that error see...
thx I will give it a try...
shrewd frigate
Didn't change...
Speaking of missing files:
When I had my EVRIMA-Server back when it was released, I think I added some missing files manually. I got them here on Discord but the Link isn't valid anymore.
shrewd frigate
Never mind! I reinstalled the whole Server, it is working now! Thx, I appreciated your help @violet marsh

any tips? or can I skip this step or something?
I just tried again, everytime I enter the IPv4 and Subnet Mask my computer's internet disconnects until I use automatic IP and all that, since I use ethernet (and probably will not be moving it anytime soon), would I be able to skip this step?
slate river
The red is the port itself, the green is the port type and the blue is what i'm supposed to name the inbound rule, right?
man everyone expects me to know how to do that port stuff and the server host channel isn't really helpful either 99% of the tine
(evrima server btw just in case)

If anyone us ready to fully explain this to me please ping me cuz despite me doing everything by the guide nothing is working
There's not even a TheIsleServer.exe file
slate river
I found put that there's a the isle dedicated server folder where that stuff is inside
But it didn't create the windowsserver folder when i launched theisleserver.exe so i created it and game.ini myself
But it still doesn't want to launch
This chat is fucking dead, paradym's guide doesn't work propperly, nobody has even thought of making a youtube guide, nobody wants to help
Why is this such a hell
Jesus Christ
Why do the admins here spend so much time moderating and complaining about the meme channel when a channel of much higher importancy like this one just gets ignored by everyone and at this point it's just a dozen of people asking questions and never getting answers
Why not delete this channel completely if you can't do anything to help the users in it
For a game relying on community hosted servers there's a suspiciously low amount of moderation in a channel that should be extremely high up on the moderation priority list
There should be many guides that even an idiot like me without ANY server hosting experience in ANY game that doesn't even know what port forwarding is could easily read and understand
dark kettle

Ports and how your network works is your responsibility, not The Isle or Steams. Way too many modem, router, WAP configurations, models, etc for it to all be in one guide. Read the manual for modem/router/WAP and learn how to forward ports.

How do you switch a legacy server to a evrima server?
violet marsh
Depends pretty heavily on if you're hosting it yourself or using a third party
naive drift
I use ping perfect to host the server
violet marsh
Ok then once you get on the game panel there should be an update to Evrima button. Just click that and then make sure to set up your config file like the example that's in the pinned document. Once you've done that and updated, should just need to set the command line again and it should appear just fine
naive drift
Okay thank you
violet marsh
👍
naive drift
Oh I should mention the command line manager is non-existent
violet marsh
Uhhhh, you should have access to it and then there's only one config for Evrima at the moment. If it's not appearing for you you may need to contact support or just check to see if the server comes up without setting it. It might set it by default since it's the only option

I run a bat file to load TheIsleServer.exe for Evrima but windows keeps saying it can't find it even though I did a bat that force directory installed it with steam cmd so it already had to have seen it once. Regardless when I try and click TheIsleServer.exe it wont do anything so I have no idea whats going on. Anyone have any ideas?

I thinks its TheIsleServer.exe application thats not running.
Ah I figured it out for anyone that has similar trouble. When running the start bat file make sure to leave a space after TheIsleServer.exe and the ?Multihome

How i can link Discord to my server?

@vernal zinc if you go to your discord and get an invite link. You can set expiration to never and unlimited uses and take the link, place it into your server announcement when people enter the server. 
hope that helps!
lime moon
@grand urchin what annonce? the MOT.txt
grand urchin
No. In game if you're in the game as an admin you should be able to go to the admin panel and set up a window that appears when people enter the server
grand urchin
@vernal zinc let me get back to you on that

You forwarded ports in your firewall and router?
dark kettle
Well, if the firewall is on in your router you need to forward ports there too
Also, you need to start the server with a bat file.....that's the end portion

swift pike
hi, i wanted to know... a friend of mine want to open a server on evrima, and we see on servers in evrima dinos have a max in place (stego 4, carnos 3 etc...) and i wanted to know, if we open a server, if we can change the max people allowed in a herd or a group?
thx for answering me, and tag me pls ^^
dark kettle
You don't directly open TheIsleServer.exe by clicking on it. Even in Evrima, you need the bat file so the server knows what your IP is and what ports you're using. Not sure why that's in the instructions, it shouldn't be.
0's are the IP address of your computer, NOT your public IP address
strange zinc
then why does he include the 0's if i dont have to fill them in anywhere
dark kettle
Because you DO fill them in. Those should be replaced with the IP address of your computer
strange zinc
Yes but where
i couldnt fill them in while port forwarding
it only asked for the port
not an ip
dark kettle
Every modem and router is different. Most ask for an IP address, I have never seen one that did not.
Test it to be sure it's done right, this guide tells you how to forward ports and test if they're open. https://www.howtogeek.com/66214/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/
dark kettle
Yes, and set your Port and Query port to different numbers if you're playing on the Host PC. Else the server won't show
I use 7777 and 7778
Ah I figured it out for anyone that has similar trouble. When running the start bat file make sure to leave a space after TheIsleServer.exe and the ?Multihome

final dove
The ip there is a local ip
So it doesnt matter if Anyone sees it
No one can get a use out of it - and only people on the same network will be able to join that, not internet
Also you dont need max players in the command Line - its defined Per game.ini (if evrima, if legacy then yes it should be there)
Gamemode shouldn’t be defined either there (only if legacy)
You are using a legacy bat file with evrima @strange zinc

@final dove could you show me the evrima bat file? Don't i need more command lines then the bat file in the pinned evrima tutorial?

Wasnt that the exact bat file i had?

All the steam cmd stuff missed

So in case evrima had an Update your server wouldnt auto Update
Mine
Also you lacked -beta evrima
In your options
So you probably were hosting a legacy server
strange zinc
of fuck ur right
final dove
If its not there, it installed a legacy game server and not evrima
Which maybe is why you had so many issues
Delete your server
Use my stuff
strange zinc
Im not a tech noob at all but im new to running a server and making those bat files just feels like a confusing mess when u dont understand what ur typing
final dove
Reinstall your game server that way
strange zinc
how exactly do i delete my server?
final dove
Of course point the steamcmd to the correct location of where you have yours
Just delete thr folder :p
strange zinc
Ye ye
final dove
Where your server installed in
final dove
As long as the server starts is first step lmao
final dove
So use your steam cmd
Use this batch to install everything
Make sure you edit the folders etc in the file (because they say asura lmao)
strange zinc
I might make a new google docs on how to make an evrima server because the current one is quiet bad and incomplete. I should get a dev to pin it tho
final dove
Once its installed you can find thr game.ini and edit it
strange zinc
yup ik
final dove
So basically the issue is here that
strange zinc
Btw can i just double click the bat file or do i really have to open it with the steamcmd
final dove
You installed legacy, you used a mix of legacy and evrima bat file
You used a game.ini for evrima on legacy
Rightclick it
And edit with notepad
strange zinc
You installed legacy, you used a mix of legacy and evrima bat file
You used a ...
Yup i see that mistake as well now
Not talking about how to edit it, but how to run it
can i run it by just double clicking it or do i really have to open it in steamcmd
final dove
You dont need to open anyrhing in steam cmd
strange zinc
aight
final dove
You just right click it - edit your stuff in
strange zinc
just wondering
final dove
Then open the bat file
And the bat file will do all the steam cmd stuff
Its very hard ti explain through phone lmao - trying my best
strange zinc
I know how to edit it, but i was wondering if there was a difference between just double clicking it to open it or running it manually through steamcmd if that was even possible
strange zinc
Its very hard ti explain through phone lmao - trying my best
ur doing gud mate
final dove
Nah not really - its the same output
strange zinc
but i understand everything now
final dove
Bat file does everything you would do in steamcmd
strange zinc
Im very fucking thankful for this lol
final dove
If it gives an error when launching bat file let me know
strange zinc
ill spend my time tonight to make a good Google docs tutorial so there wont be any people anymore struggling to make a server
final dove
It might do because first it installs the gsme server - but the bat file will probably still try to load up the game server (that doesnt exist yet) lmao
strange zinc
If it gives an error when launching bat file let me know
Is it ok if i dm u when this happens?
final dove
The current one was made by Paradym i think - and was Mixed together shortly before launch, so i think it was High stress level :p
strange zinc
Understandable
final dove
He posted it at least.
Are you trying to do the stuff for server now?
You can just dm me yes
strange zinc
im finishing up my school work rn
ill start with it after im done
when im done with the tutorial ill just dm punch to pin it xd
final dove
Haha, not sure if it will happen - but who knows?
😄
I think they’d prefer getting something official out - though tbh the docs actually do cover more or less what you need
strange zinc
I just hear so much trouble because the tutorial is unclear lol
final dove
Just dont mix it with the steam community Forum tutorial for legacy lol
Its two diff. Games
strange zinc
nah nah ofcourse not
when im done with the doc ill send it to u so u can double check it
final dove
Cant promise i’ll be awake! But we’ll see ^^
Atleast you have some info on where to go from now 😄
strange zinc
I actually do have one more question
Are the login anonymously and app_update necessary before making the bat file? Because those 2 things are already in the bat file
so wouldn't that be done when u launch the bat file?
@final dove
Don't u only need to port forward 7777-7778 if thats the only port ur gonna use?
final dove
You dont need to follow what the guide says basically since its in the bat
strange zinc
So it is in fact unnecessary to do bc its already in the bat
final dove
At least the steamcmd stuff yeah
strange zinc
im just asking because i want to make the new tutorial as easy and simple as it needs to be
final dove
Its been done by bat
I Think before you make a guide - make sure you have your own stuff up and running
final dove
27015-27017 might still be smart to open since its standard steam ports
strange zinc
okay
final dove
Not 100% sure if actual needed though.. i just know most stuff on steam runs port 27015 etc
strange zinc
Then it seems logical to port forward them imo, not that it is alot of work lol
final dove
Tbh, like portforwarding on routers is almost always pissy (for a lack of a better word)
Everyones routers are diff...
So its very hard to guide someone with that 😄
strange zinc
isnt it enough to just port forward on the pc?
do u really have to port forward the router as well?
final dove
You gotta port forward the router in most cases because most routers lock out inbound or outbound connections
For Security - so lets say you forwarded only something on pc
Your router might still say no no
strange zinc
:((
final dove
Of course this doesnt apply in all cases - but most of it
final dove
Basically - but i’d write in the guide that you should check your router model number / brand .. search up a specific guide on how to port forward on it
strange zinc
seems like alot of work
strange zinc
Basically - but i’d write in the guide that you should check your router model n...
yep
final dove
Depends, not always - like some routers it takes 1 second on 😄
Some routers doesnt need it
Its like... if you make a server and dont see it online; 9/10 cases its a port forwarding issue (if theres ofc no issues present in the server setup)
strange zinc
i would write smth like this: if the server isn't showing up, its because you have to port forward your router as well...
Thats what would happen right? server not showing up
strange zinc
Its like... if you make a server and dont see it online; 9/10 cases its a port f...
oh u just said it lol
final dove
It can be, but server not showing up could also be an error on the pc/machine firewall
Or game.ini broken
Not updated server
Steam having issues
Your own pc (the player) having firewall issues
Like its endless
strange zinc
Well if you would follow my 10/10 perfect guide, then that wouldn't happen xd
but ur right
dark kettle
The first pic you posted isn't the BAT file, that's how to download EVRIMA. So yes, it's needed in the BAT file because the first time you do it the BAT file doesn't exist.
final dove
You make the bat file yourself vintage
dark kettle
I know, I have a server
strange zinc
I know that it needs to be in the bat file
dark kettle
Only asking cus the pic you posted is from the initial setup
final dove
Steamcmd doesnt make you a bat file
final dove
Yeah but if you download steamcmd & fix the bat file - it would still apply the same stuff
strange zinc
Wait are you saying you need to do this even tho that commandline is in your bat file?
final dove
Yes you need to download steam cmd
strange zinc
thought it would do it either way since its in ur bat file
final dove
And then fix your bat file
dark kettle
No, need to download first
final dove
You sont need to open your steamcmd or anything
Just download it
And point bat file to work with it
dark kettle
Adding it to your bat file just makes it check for updates before the server starts
strange zinc
Ill test it in like 15min
final dove
Bat file will do all the download, log in etc, Update/download
If its pointed to steamcmd
In the paths i sent you 😄
So all about launching steam cmd from the initial guide you can technically pass - when you have a .bat file (thats set up to do it for you)
strange zinc
we will know who is right in about 10min
final dove
Its very hard to guide from a smartphone - i cant post screenshots nor anything
I Think we are saying the same thing 😄
strange zinc
not really
he is saying you have to do those 2 command lines before making the bat file and you are saying you dont have to since its included in the bat file
final dove
You dont. The bat file has the mines in for you.
If you look on what i sent you it has the -login anony.. and -beta stuff
strange zinc
Hence -> we will know it in 10min when im going to make a server on my laptop
dark kettle
Except, you have to setup not only the BAT file but the Game.ini and other things if you do JUST the BAT file. Better to follow the guide posted, it works that way.
strange zinc
If you look on what i sent you it has the -login anony.. and -beta stuff
i know
dark kettle
If you don't run SteamCMD first, you won't get the directoy to put the Game.ini in.....
final dove
The bat file will open the server and make you able to edit the game.ini
It installs and checks Update first
Then launch gameserver after
When the launch happens your stuff is made
dark kettle
But for people who have no clue what they're doing, the guide is less confusing
strange zinc
agreed
Its less confusing if u do those 2 command lines first
since you'll have TheIsleServer.exe
dark kettle
Exactly. It can be done the other way if you're proficient at running a server and know what you're doing. Absolutely.
strange zinc
The reason why we are discussing this @dark kettle, is because i want to make a new, better and clearer tutorial then the one we have right now because it has some flaws in it and can be a bit unclear
final dove
For new people yeah it is good to go step for step
strange zinc
its quiet incomplete tbh
final dove
The stuff regarding bat file was for noclipsize personally 😄
Having it in the bat files makes life alot easier on the long run @strange zinc since on every server launch - it checks for game updates
And will Update if one is found automaticly
If no Update it just launches server.
Then you are free for having to open steamcmd for every patch 😄
strange zinc
Im just going to do both, putting in those 2 command lines first to create TheIsleServer.exe and putting them in the bat files for the long run
final dove
If you are smart you can always zip a package of server files
strange zinc
?
final dove
(Steam cmd and a bat file etc)
And include that in the guide to help people get their files needed
Or just steam cmd etc
strange zinc
ohh
so they don't have to make their own bat file or what?
and dont need to go download steamcmd through a link
final dove
Basically
But again - then they need to know how to edit the bat file
Because otherwise it just will give errors of not finding the steamcmd.exe if the batfile is wrong / if they haven’t downloaded it
Also they need to make sure to install directx and vcruntime redist stuff
(Like you had to do) - otherwise they get errors when opening TheIsleServer.exe
strange zinc
Also they need to make sure to install directx and vcruntime redist stuff
why is that?
final dove
Some people get this when trying to open their servers
strange zinc
ah lol ok
strange zinc
yo @final dove im almost done with the guide
lime moon
Are name tags functional for admins?
final dove
No; not in evrima
strange zinc
Anyone know what this means?
lime moon
yerh it's weird, but it's normal xD
strange zinc
Ah ok lmao
I was like wtf xD
Btw u wanna see the guide i made @lime moon ? To make a server in evrima since the previous one was unclear and incomplete
lime moon
no thanks, i'm good
strange zinc
ill just go cry then
indigo fjord
ill just go cry then
I would like to see it please?
strange zinc
@indigo fjord https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kcEAD770Uf-YyrAWBJ5a8w9-ZEOHWV-Pi6IKwr2Pbb8/edit?usp=sharing
violet marsh
@strange zinc I would like to point out that while the official docs don't reflect this, our server is working perfectly fine with the following, you only need the following in the config file in order to make it work with Evrima. All of those that are left out are settings that only worked in the legacy version of the game and so far do nothing inside of the server, and do not prevent the server from working appropriately if they're missing.
TLDR optimally the game.ini should look like this:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
AdminsSteamIDs=YourSteamID
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
ServerName=PutServerNameHere
MaxPlayerCount=amountofplayershere
bEnableGlobalChat=true
bGlobalIsSpeciesOnly=false
bLocalIsSpeciesOnly=true
LocalChatRange=20000.f
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=amountofplayershere
Thanks man! Ill edit it as soon as i have access to my laptop!
violet marsh
👍
strange zinc
Or i might let them in for when they will work in evrima
violet marsh
Well the issue is that if/when they do get put in, they'll most likely be worded different. To point out, in your guide there's a bServerGlobalChat=true line that's already been replaced with the bEnableGlobalChat=true. Using the old line wouldn't change anything.
strange zinc
Damn, so the old guide was really outdated
violet marsh
The easiest thing to do is wait on changelogs where they say they've added lines like they did a while back with the local chat range setting
Yeah they haven't updated the pinned one since launch I don't think
strange zinc
Well i already dm'd punch to pin my new one, he sent it to hypno since he did the original one and he will take a look at it
violet marsh
That and literally all of those settings except for the ServerName and PlayerCount settings are from Legacy, they weren't used when Evrima launched lmao
Nice
strange zinc
@violet marsh and you are 100% sure about the things u said
violet marsh
100%. Currently that's what our server is running off of and it's been working fine.
violet marsh
Other than the space between the AdminSteamIDs= and yoursteamid the guide looked pretty set to me
strange zinc
Oh shit i didn't see that mistake, thanks for telling me
Any more problems that you know?
So i can put it in the troubleshoot section
violet marsh
I'm actually not aware of any big server issues after these last few updates.
strange zinc
Alright
violet marsh
That's the only one I think is still hanging around

I almost have it, but I dont understand where to put steamcmd.exe? How do I "move directories"?
strange zinc
Wdym? You can place steamcmd.exe where ever you want, but if you put it in a different location then the guide then you need to have a different directory in the command lines of the bat file @indigo fjord
indigo fjord
Wdym? You can place steamcmd.exe where ever you want, but if you put it in a dif...
My steamcmd.exe is in the first folder, "Steam CMD", & then it goes steam apps, common, theislededicated server, & that is where why server.exe is
strange zinc
Yes
indigo fjord
Do I move steamcmd.exe to the theisleedeicatedserver folder?
strange zinc
No you dont need to move it, show me what part of the guide you mean
indigo fjord
I am making the .bat & when I double clicked it it just kept saying error cant find steamcmd.exe
strange zinc
Show me the directory where your steamcmd is
indigo fjord
Well I did 9 already but I went back to 8 after I had the error
Was I supposed to do step 10 before I double clicked the .bat?
I will show you...\
strange zinc
Nope, just gotta follow the steps
strange zinc
Remove the space between steam and cmd
So name the folder SteamCMD instead of Steam CMD
indigo fjord
ok I did that should I try booting up the .bat again?
strange zinc
Yes
strange zinc
No problem man!
Yeah, bat files are really sensitive about spaces
Just @ me again if you have any problems, but i really gotta sleep so ill only be able to answer again in about 7hours @indigo fjord

No problem man!

Oh thanks!
I tried making a server like 3 days ago and it was such a long and hard task. Had to use the 2 guides with like 3 different people explaining me things so i thought, why not make a guide and help a ton of people? Cost me some hours to make because it had to look good and simple, but it was definitly worth it!
crude plover
So i own a legacy server and some of my admins when they hit the del key to see player names that can't see name tags, but 3 of my admins can anyone know a fix for this?

Does someone else has this when launching the server (legacy) ? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/782994484731445269/783000980550582322/unknown.png?width=795&height=213

When installing the hotfix the game version in game.ini isn't changed. Is this an oversight by devs or a problem with steam update?
You can just do it yourself like I did, just wondering why it doesn't do it automatically

Can I host Evrima with Gportal?

Is linux still unsupported? I have a dedi with Ubuntu, but I don't really wanna pay for a Windows server license

@merry urchin Yes sir, still unsupported.

What is the right way to set someone's dino now in Evrima? Like, if they are a Utah raptor and I wanna make them a Carno?
I am trying to see if there is a way to automate it
violet marsh
It's pretty much the exact same process as last time. There's a .json file that holds their saved playable class and you can change the values there while they're logged out
merry urchin
Do you have to be like fully logged out from the game?
When I did it, it just overwrote what I did as soon as they reconnected
violet marsh
If it overwrote then they may need to be completely safelogged. I haven't really messed with it lately so it might be slightly different, but in Legacy they didn't need to completely safe log. Might make sure they do that and then the changes should stick
merry urchin
Oooooo
That makes sense actually
It just overwrites it once they are technically logged out
merry urchin
Does EVRIMA use SQL yet or only JSON files to store data?
violet marsh
Pretty sure it's only JSON for now
dire jackal
Im trying to setup a legacy server but the game.ini files etc don't show at all
I tried re-installing it multiple times but it still doesn't work
Do i have to add them manually?
violet marsh
I believe that you have to start the server at least once for some of them to generate. Not entirely sure on that one though. It may not work the first start up but starting it, waiting a few seconds, and then closing it might make them pop up.
dire jackal
Doesn't work for me. Only makes gameusersettings.ini
Nothing else
Ive seen other people have the same problem on the steam guide.
dire jackal
Nvm i figured it out. Instead of closing the server by ctrl+c i pressed the close button. Wich causes it to not write the files to my ssd
merry urchin
can someome help me witn this?
