Scenarios on Nitrado Server

[Hake]

I just rented out a Nitrado Server. Me and my buddies want to play the Dawn of Galaxy scenario, but the server just defaults to Multiplayer Survival.

Is it possible to get this scenario to work on the Nitrado servers? Or any other scenario for that matter?

yes you can. You have to use ftp to upload the scenario to the server. Filezilla works fine for that. then yo have to edit the dedicated.yaml file on the server to tell it to use the scenario. Its not hard to do but tricky to figure out the first time.

I loaded voodoo2 on mine approximatly as follows:

1. I first subscribed to voodoo2 on my own home computer. then located the folder it was in.

2. use filezilla to upload the folder to the same location on the server.

3. STOP the server.

4. (*** see note below) edit the dedicated.yaml file, and set that. Also you can make any other changes that you wish there, like hardness levels...

5. delete the old game save folder. there might be a couple there, and you want to delete the one that has your starting game in it; ie, has a folder with the starter planet in it, like Akua or what ever. This step is very important, because the dedicated.yaml will NOT get read in if there is an active save game!

6. start sever and cross your fingers:D

NOTE: *** I did notice that the tools Nitrado gives you to edit the dedicated.yaml are BROKEN and will corrupt the file. Use the file editing tool instead.

You can google around for more info too.
