Can somebody copy me the a11 dedicated.yaml for hosting

[DV-1stCav]

Host doesnt have the current version of the yaml file so i have no idea what it needs to look like to manually configure it.

Thanks

by default, every installation of the game has that dedicated yaml file installed server or not... your own game should have it located here:

\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Games

then pick a folder... there should be a dedicated.yaml file in there for you

Yea i looked at those and they dont have the cpu option in them so i wasnt sure if there was some wierdness going on with the host or not. Ive confirmed the install is a11 and not an older version or something.

Thats why i was wanting to see somebodies so i can compare against it.

As for comparing my files to the server, its not built the same. I loaded up a coop server and the options are in 2 files as opposed to the server host only having 1 file with all the options in it. (minus the new stuff)

[DV-1stCav]

Ok, if nobody has a server copy i can look at, can i request the devs start posting their default config files on a wiki somewhere for each version. Cause this is just stupid when your server host cant be bothered to update their system to reflect the new options.

This is something Ive wished they would do for a long time as well. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to just keep an updated sample yaml posted as updates come out.

the cpu settings are not in dedicated.yaml!!

look at gameoptions.yaml in Default Random Szenario, there you can see the new options and what you must do to aktivat.


thats the Options you can use, all these settings are in gameoption.yaml!"!

I appreciate it man! I still can't get mine to work, I'll keep troubleshooting though when I have the patience for it.

[DV-1stCav]

The problem is the host only configures for the dedicated yaml and doesnt allow access to the other file without FTP access. They really need to stick to a single file for dedicated hosting.

[WheelChock]

How are you accessing dedicated.yaml? Can you traverse the directory tree? Do you have in-game console access with admin permissions?

[DV-1stCav]

they dont give full access to the install. just the saves and some other stuff. Even with FTP, thats why i cant get to the default config for the server.
They created their own web page to add custom config stuff which creates the dedicated yaml and thats what i can see and edit.

as for ingame admin - yea i can get that. i just wanna be sure my configs are right before starting up a server.

[WheelChock]

So you probably can't get to the Scenarios folder. gameoptions.yaml should be coming from there when you start a new game.

If you can get to the saves folder, gameoptions.yaml should be in the current saved game's folder. Changing would require a restart of the server though.

From the game console, you can use the gopt command to view the current settings and their values. Change them with gopt set OptionName NewValue Note the setting name is case sensitive.

[DV-1stCav]

yea the game options file isnt in the dedicated server in saves. thats the part i cant figure out. on my local games its like that but somehow these guys have it set up that that file isnt available to us.

[WheelChock]

Hiding the files is easy using attributes. The gameoptions file is probably hidden in Saves\Games\

To configure the gameoptions.yaml before starting the server, you need to be able to see the ..\Content\Scenarios folder, and then the folder of whatever scenario you're running. You could do it in the saved game (if you could see it), but that would require a restart of the server. I can understand locking that down. Trying to make it as foolproof as possible to minimize their need to intervene.

Do they let you upload a custom scenario?

Still, with admin permissions and the game console, gopt should do what you need.
