Dedicated server set up

[Ceigyx]

can anyone give a detailed guide on how to properly set up a dedicated server?

[Ractre]

have you tried the readme in the server directory?

[KaosReigns]

There is a few of us working on this actually. We will hopefully have an easy to follow guide shortly.

What I can tell you now though is:

Game and server cannot be on the PC.

You will need to either have some knowledge with SQL/MariaDB or be able to learn about them.

Lots and lots of patience.

The Readme.txt
Life is Feudal: Your Own dedicated server

Minimum requirements:
Windows based server with at least 4 Gbs of FREE RAM and 2 CPU cores. Mostly amount of wild animals will affect servers CPU load, so you can tweak that setting to reach an adequate performance. Steam is not required to run those servers.

Installation:

1. Create as many copies of \config\world_X.xml (X - number of server instance and must be unique on one server and on one DB engine)
2. Download a MariaDB 5.5 Series Engine (https://downloads.mariadb.org/)
3. Install a MariaDB engine on the same server or somewhere in your network, where that MariaDB can be reached by your game server.
4. Use docs\my.ini as MariaDB config.
5. Copy docs\config_local.cs into root folder of server and adjust according your DB location (located in a root folder of server).
6. Launch server via "ddctd_cm_yo_server.exe -worldID X" (X - number of server instance with correctly created world_X.xml file). You can create a batch file or automate that process as you like.

Server should do the rest. Thank you for reading those instructions! But remeber, life IS feudal ;)

I can't find ddctd_cm_yo_server.exe. I have only cm_yo_server.exe

ddctd_cm_yo.exe is the dedicated server, cm_yo is the create a map server that you use in game.

I've got this error:

Unable to load game library: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Life is Feudal Your Own\yo_cm_client.dll.
Please make sur it exists and the latest DirectX is installed.
Win error: (126) Le module spécifié est introuvable.

Someone have a solution to resolve this probleme?

Remember to get the dedicated server you need to look in steam TOOLS. Not GAMES

Any timeframe on that? I have the issue where after you connect and make a character you get booted back to the main menu and cannot play but it says the player joined (Server also does not show up in the master list and can only connect using the connect command)

Atm no, I myself have been up for over 48 hours and am going to need sleep soon, so possibly by the end of the weekend.

What OS are you using? Im going to guess vista?

I have the same error trying to start up on Windows 2008R2.

Where would I find ddctd_cm_yo_server.exe under Steam tools? I see nothing for LIF:YO under tools

Thank you! I didn't realize that there was an extra download in tools for the dedicated server. I was cussing up a storm trying to figure out how to use the one in the client installation. lol!

[Azzerhoden]

Hmmmm, wonder if the issue of me not seeing anything under tools is that I am an early supporter....

Yep - had to re-register the code, probably because I messed it up the first time. :)

I keep getting Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' . The user root is there, and the password I provided is the correct password, and I made sure that config_local.cs is in the lif server root folder with the correct information. I have also made sure I can connect to mariadb from shell.

I am running this under wine on an Ubuntu 14 server. Seems like it would work if it could make the db connection. I renamed my.ini to .my.cnf according to ubuntu docs and placed it under ~/ also according to ubuntu/mariadb docs.
