No option to edit script in programmable blocks
I'm playing survival star system on dedicated private server.

Today I've found out that I can script things and as a programmer I was amazed!
Then I've noticed that there is no way I can input the script into programmable block. I've googled this and it should come with Edit button, and even a little Editor window. There is no such thing for me. Only window for custom data.

I've set
<EnableIngameScripts>true</EnableIngameScripts>
and
<EnableScripterRole>true</EnableScripterRole>
and even
<ExperimentalMode>true</ExperimentalMode>
(also I've enabled it via options in game) and added myself as an administrator.

But still... no edit/run button. Just three toggles, name and a custom data button in terminal.

So my amazement went into full sadness. Are there any other requirements to get this working?

I needed to change it in sbc file in game world folder. Setting it up in GTXGamin dashboard wasn't enough.

Very similiar issue to one I saw here when everybody was an admin.

is it your server?
if not maybe the owner has turned scripts off, doesnt matter what you do then.

Yes, (technically it's hosted by GTXGaming), but I'm an owner.

I think I might have found the issue. The config panel that GTXGaming has allows to setup all kind of stuff for a game, but once the gameworld is generated changing it won't have much of an effect. I've found that options in sbc file in save and they are set to false.

I'll check later if this is the case.

Maybe have a look at the SE Testers Bug reports = some may have Dev comments in and that will give you more clues on what is going on.

You could also ask the Devs > https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/general

Well done! :fix:

I use at home in my second PC so I don't know much about rented servers but you could ask the SE Server Admins on Keen Discord next time you have a problem cause I see them helping members every days over there and some are using rented servers so it will surely help to ask there.

I will add your post #4 as the "answer" so you can modify this one and will show "solved"

Yes, yes, necro, whatever, I needed to say THANKS!!, I was getting a headache trying to enable automatic lcds 2 in my dedicated server. Just in case anyone else hosting with verygames finds this thread, it's the same thing as gtx, enabling in game scripts in the control panel will not be enough, you have to create an ftp access and manually change the sbc in your world folder (might want to check the rest of the settings while you're at it).

Similar Issue just that changing it in the sbc files doesn't add the edit button for me

We must enable Experimental first from the game options and enable Scripts from the world advanced settings after, to be able to use the PB.

Edit
+
Settings for servers need to be identical for the main spaceengineers-dedicated.cfg and sandbox_config.sbc in the save folder

Note
I will lock this old obsolete discussion because the game is not the same and don't be shy to create a new 2021 if you still have problems.
