Nice. I'll have to take a closer look in an IDE (can optionally go with triple backtick PowerShell to syntax highlight)

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

good call

loud arch Sep 13, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

IDK if batch has one? eh it's short though

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

ye idk

#

all it does is look at process list and if server isn't running closes the PS window and starts server

#

Which is why I gave PS window a special name 🙂

loud arch Sep 13, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

Ah gotcha

#

Thar she be

while (!(Test-Path -Path "GameID.txt")) {
        Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
    }```

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

actually the kill old PS is in the Launch.PS1 lol

#

err ps1

loud arch Sep 13, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

So much fun lol

#

I cringe that bat uses goto, but hey it does the trick

#

Using it is fine, but having goto at all I mean lol

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:07 PM

#

IDK it's been a long time since I did anything batch related

#

is there an alternative now?

loud arch Sep 13, 2022, 5:07 PM

#

No clue, bat makes me sad panda

#

I learned a ton since I last did that Astroneer thing, but I'd totes use jobs now

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

I don't imagine so, seeing as PowerShell is a thing

loud arch Sep 13, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

Execution is the nasty bit with PS1, so bat still has uses

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

I also have no real experience with PS1

#

Changed it to add date to the log file so at the very least it won't overwrite from day to day

#

And store in the logs folder since it's already there

#

Maybe some day I’ll add proper backing up but not rn

#

@turbid turtle here’s the stuff if you want it

turbid turtle Sep 13, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

Noice! You wanna share it on that Reddit thread? And on the wiki?

I asked you guys cos I have no experience here and I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders today... 😮‍💨

#

I started the guide page for you: https://corekeeper.wikizet.com/en/How_to_setup_a_dedicated_server

Core Keeper Wiki

How to setup a dedicated server

Insert here, guys!

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:41 PM

#

Ahh I might post on Reddit but im also not signed in on my pc lol. Dont have a wiki account so I would have to make one

turbid turtle Sep 13, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

Well, you or @loud arch , whatever. 😉 I think one can edit anonymously...?

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

lol I logged in to reddit and it says I'm not logged in so I can't comment, but then when I click log in it says I'm logged in and reloads the page. Nice

#

reddit dying rn

#

@misty plover I assume you're the person who posted on reddit since it links to the same YouTube channel as your profile here.

misty plover Sep 13, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

❤️

#

Thank you mate!

daring ingot Sep 13, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

Also there's a chance updates to the dedicated server will overwrite Launch.ps1 so you could rename it and have batch file launch whatever the new one is called.

misty plover Sep 13, 2022, 6:09 PM

#

Yup, I guess will see tomorrow.

turbid turtle Sep 18, 2022, 8:58 PM

#

Wiki is sad.... And lonely... 😢

daring ingot Sep 18, 2022, 9:29 PM

#

I was hoping @loud arch would do the setup server bit cuz I’m too lazy to write it all lmao

#

Been busy and off the pc a lot

turbid turtle Sep 18, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

I mean, there's existing guide instruction to copy. I mostly would like (1 of) you guys to confirm them and add any details or contingencies that have been overlooked. Maybe draw straws....? 🥺

daring ingot Sep 18, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

idgi codeblocks are weird on this site lol

#

Guess I'll just chuck the files in there

#

or not

#

This has only happened once in my life

#

Honestly

turbid turtle Sep 18, 2022, 11:38 PM

#

Wikizet is @simple root's domain. The server uses Wikimedia with some customised templates.

daring ingot Sep 18, 2022, 11:38 PM

#

codeblocks is four spaces on both sides

#

lmfao

#

and it doesn't work with multiline stuff

#

All done and submitting it I guess

#

@loud arch you don't mind if I put your Discord username at the bottom with mine since you made the main instructions I used for installation, or would you prefer I not?

turbid turtle Sep 18, 2022, 11:50 PM

#

daring ingot All done and submitting it I guess

You figured out the formatting? It can always be edited (endlessly, for my stuff).

daring ingot Sep 18, 2022, 11:50 PM

#

yea you need to start each line with four spaces

#

which is annoying

#

I just dunno if I should include Xechs discord cuz I can imagine it might lead to a lot of rando messages

#

I don't mind mine in case the restart script gets broken

turbid turtle Sep 18, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

daring ingot yea you need to start each line with four spaces

Cool. I couldn't even find help on "<code>" in the MediaWiki site... 😵‍💫

daring ingot Sep 18, 2022, 11:56 PM

#

Might think about making one on Docker images but IDK anything about those so

loud arch Sep 18, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

Sure thing!

How to setup a dedicated server

Paste into browser address bar

#

I wish the steam:// link worked

#

I like how it decided “Paste into browser bar” is the most significant thing to quote for the embed

turbid turtle Sep 19, 2022, 12:16 AM

#

daring ingot I like how it decided “Paste into browser bar” is the most significant thing to ...

If you put some blurb summary above the first heading, I think it should use that instead.

daring ingot Sep 19, 2022, 12:16 AM

#

Never change, Discord. Never change.

#

Man. more writing? Lmao

turbid turtle Sep 19, 2022, 12:17 AM

I was never good at actually buckling down to write anything lol

Yea I’ll do that when I go back in

#

I still wanna make the joke tho

turbid turtle Sep 19, 2022, 12:18 AM

#

I mean, it kinda looks like you just did? And did it quite fast. Thanks. 🙂

I might see if I can follow it, sometime, as a test.

No I haven’t yet, been outside since you suggested lol

#

daring ingot I was never good at actually buckling down to write anything lol

Sorry, meant to reply to this...

#

Why's the official instructions so much longer?: #❔-faq-and-links message

Where yours are just:
Paste into browser address bar steam://install/1963720

daring ingot Sep 19, 2022, 12:25 AM

#

That's a direct link that calls for Steam to install the dedicated server using URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). Kinda like how you can join Roblox games directly from the website instead of launching the Roblox program and joining that way.

#

Should I put both in there?

#

If you change install to uninstall you'll see how it works

#

((it'll still ask you to install or uninstall))

#

steam://uninstall/1963720

turbid turtle Sep 19, 2022, 12:28 AM

#

Oh, you can literally paste it into any browser, not the steam client, huh.

I think there needs to be a "basic" instructions section. That explains about leaving the window open, what it looks like, etc. At the top. Preferably with a contextual screenshot (which I could add later, maybe).

daring ingot Sep 19, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

I mean it literally says as much when you launch it

turbid turtle Sep 19, 2022, 12:31 AM

#

Heh. It can be nice to know what to expect. And that was one part of it.

daring ingot Sep 19, 2022, 12:41 AM

#

turbid turtle Sep 19, 2022, 12:42 AM

#

Cool. Thanks.👍 I'll take a proper look some time later. 🙂

#

@daring ingot @turbid turtle multiline codes can be inserted with <pre></pre>

#

<code></code> is for inline code

daring ingot Sep 19, 2022, 4:13 AM

#

I got it workin with just leading every line with 4 spaces but I'll remember for future 😛

The wiki is using mediawiki, so if you need syntax reference google mediawiki + keyword

daring ingot Sep 19, 2022, 4:14 AM

#

sick thanks 🙂

I said "wikimedia" above, didn't I... 😅
