Full Invasion 2: Amber | Server Set-up Information

[󠀡Borridian]

The release of Full Invasion 2: Amber will bring with it an additional requirement for server hosts. We are providing this information now to allow the maximum amount of time for server hosts to prepare their servers for the release. It is critical that the information in this post is listened to, as it will be the only way for the module to work.

Any server running Full Invasion 2: Amber must be updated to at least Warband Version 1.168. Please ensure that this is the version currently installed on your server prior to uploading Full Invasion 2: Amber.

In order to do this, locate and open the rgl_log.txt file found in the server's root directory. If this file is not present, starting the server will create it (it does not matter which module you run). The version number will be displayed on the second line from the top. If the version number shown is of an installation prior to 1.168, the server must be updated. There are a few ways to do this, depending on the situation.

Hosting a Dedicated Server from Your Own Computer:

Download the Viking Conquest dedicated server files from this page[www.taleworlds.com]. This guide[forums.taleworlds.com] provides instructions on how to set up a dedicated server if it is needed.

Renting from a Hosting Service:

There are two ways to update a server in this situation.

1. The hosting service may have a 'Mod Manager' feature which includes Viking Conquest as an option. Choosing to install Viking Conquest will automatically update the server to the required version.

2. If the hosting services does not provide Viking Conquest as an optional installation package, contact the server host and ask for them to manually update the server. Direct them to this page[www.taleworlds.com] if they require the necessary dedicated files.

Once the server is running the correct Warband version, upload Full Invasion 2: Amber and start the server as normal after configuring the necessary settings.



These steps are not necessary for LAN servers, provided the LAN host is running Version 1.168 of Warband or a newer version. Steam-based users are automatically updated to the latest version. If the host is running an outdated, non-Steam version of the game, they can download the patch from the TaleWorlds website[www.taleworlds.com] to update to the latest version.

It should also be noted that Full Invasion 2: Amber will not function properly on outdated servers; we are not responsible for any consequences that may arise from this. Any questions about this process should be asked in the comments below.
