Dedicated Servers

[JonBloodspray]

I'm not the most savvy, but the process for setting up a dedicated server should have been streamlined before Hearth and Home. I love this game, but it really puts me off how much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around there is to start a server with your seed of choice.

I tried that but guess I messed it up. Not lazy, just didn't understand the directions.

Depending on configuration options you put in the start up script, There will be an option to specify the map location, for example one of the servers i run uses something like below. You can ignore the -ip unless you run multiple IP's on your system.

valheim_server -nographics -batchmode -name "Yourservername" -ip YourhostIP -port 3456 -world "YourSavedMapName" -password "yourpassword" -savedir D:\Valheim-Node3\Gamesave\ -public 1

If you don't specify a -savedir, you will need to navigate to C:\Users\yourlogonname\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\Worlds\ and copy your generated map (the .db and the .fwl). You'll then need to make sure the -world "YourSavedMapName" is changed to match the name of the .db/.fwl file. That's it, there is also a PDF in the installation directory that explains these options in more detail.

What he said,

and if you are under linux, the default worlds save location is : ~/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/

Thank you, I think this makes sense. I'll try it when I get home!
