Dedicated server installation

[magicrc]

We have change the way OOR server persists data, so now it's much more simple to start one, new instruction can be found here https://outofreach.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_server.

OK, I'm having issues with section DATABASE: WIndows Installation.

I downloaded and ran the installer for PostreSQL 9.3. During setup set a password and port number of 5000. The wizard then asked for additional modules i wanted to add and I closed it down as the one named above was already installed.

That's where i got stuck. The wall of text in the box under section 3, I have no idea what to do with or if anything needs to be done with it.

Ok, I have updated wiki.

You need start Windows console (CMD) and paste this database creation command there.

Command on wiki is for default values which are ok and works, you could use your own login and password but you need also change it in server configuration.

One mroe thing PostgreSQL is using both user name and password for password encryption, more details are available here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17429040/creating-user-with-encrypted-password-in-postgresql.

Hope it helps ;)

Yes that helped a lot ty, now I'm down at webconsole. I've done nothing with network and not changed any parameters. I have installed the server and that is now running.

I assumed that I pasted the webconsole address into my browser although when i do this I just get normal search lists.

I tried pasting into both command prompt and the OOR server command window and nothing happened in either.

So my question is what do I do with http://[host]:19933/web-console ?

Sorry if these questions are a bit nooby, on a good note, I really really like this game :)

[magicrc]

No worries :)

Just change:

http://[host]:19933/web-console

To:

http://localhost:19933/web-console

[host] here is placeholder for your server hostname, localhost is hostname of your local computer it should fine :)

Ok, I've accessed the webconsole changed the server paramenters in the console, saved everything.

I reloaded the game as normal but my server isn't there, I'm assuming now I've got to either do something with portforwarding or load the game through steamcmd rather than the normal steam interface.

Thanks for all the help btw.

Yes, for now there is no option to connect to server in local network (we gonna add it soon).

You need to forward following ports (by default) to your server (server's network interface):

1. 27016 (both TCP and UDP protocols)
2. 27010 (both TCP and UDP protocols)

[nethkhar]

I'm not sure i've forwarded right, Ive done it through windows firewall, both incoming and outgoing for both ports and both tcp and udp.

Restarted my comp and then changed what I hope are the right settings in vmoptions. The settings are as follows (I've removed the password entry tho).

#-Door.server.ip.address=192.168.123.254
#-Door.server.port=27016

# Web console port
#-Door.server.console.port=19933

# Steam master server query port
#-Door.steam.master.server.updater.port=5432

# Database host (with port number)
-Door.database.host=localhost:5432

# Database user
-Door.database.user=nethkhar

# Database password
-Door.database.password=

# Database name
-Door.database.name=lonerville

# Overrides default web console user
#-Door.web.console.user=
#-Door.web.console.pass=

# Maximum allowable amount of players, must be in range <1;100>
-Door.max.players.count=4


With this done, the server running and game loade, I still can't see my server. I might just be better off waiting for the update, since clearly I've got no idea what i'm doing.

I've sent you an invite to Steam friends to speed up communication ;)

Hello! I am (or was) immensely enjoying the game playing with my friends on my own private server. Then...I get randomly disconnected every few seconds to maybe around 15 minutes of play time. It is truly random. The game tells me "Connection Exception. To avoid random disconnects FORWARD ports 27015-27020." Or something like that. I DO have ports 27015-27020 forwarded but they are forwarded to my dedicated server. I still disconnect randomly. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I know my router supports NAT loopback. I am able to play other games (like ARK) that have the same issue with loopback but they give me no problems. This might still be related to loopback somehow. I can see and connect to my own server fine. Staying connected is the issue.

Also, I have tried the crash workaround build. But that seems to address a diffrent issue. I still disconnect randomly from my own server. I should also note that my friends can play on my server with no issues. In fact, one of them has 500 hours in the game and since we live close to each other, he says it's the smoothest experience he's had.
