Avorion Config help

[Rislem]

Hi Everyon

I got a little brain scratcher here I cant get my config files to work.

 

If I launch the game with the below command manually

 

bin\AvorionServer.exe --datapath C:\TCAFiles\Users\Admin\794\saves --ip *.*.*.* --galaxy-name myserver

 

It works perfectly, see logs attached, but when I run it using the exact same commandline it complains about a ton of files it all of a sudden cant find, I have made a few config files in the past and I just dont know what is going on here. If anyone has a moment to look please check.

 

I have also attached my config files

Broken Logs.txt

Avo - Windows.xml

Sorry I was not able to attached more than 2 files, but this is how a "working server" logs look like the start of it

[LFA]

In the game's settings try changing Relative Working Dir from bin\ to blank. In the game server's service settings the working directory should be the same as the root directory.

[Rislem]

Hi LFA

 

thanks I figured it was that but I changed it a few times in the template with no effect, but since what you said made sense I checked my actual server, and it seems even though I updated the template it didnt update the server it was still using working directory as bin\ which yes, had no data folder inside of it

 

thank you very much problem solved lesson learned

[Rislem]

Since your so helpfull, the opens a console and to stop teh server you need to type in the console /stop

 

Now I turned on console input but logs show it just kills the process, also, I turned web console on, ticked console under web console output source I put console output and web console input, I put console commands,

 

So if I open web console in the server I can see the server, I can type console commands at the bottom but they dont seem to actually type in the console menu. Any ideas?

[LFA]

Try with this config. The /stop command works. This shows up in the web console when I stop the game server:

Anyone had any luck getting player query count to work?

[jungleNZ]

Something I had an issues with, other may/may-not have:

I used the config LFA made to run servers. Games were not showing on in-game browser list but you could connect using IP etc...

Found the ports for query and steam need to be read in commandline (overwrites to default 27003 etc..).

Add this to your commandline if you have or had issues. --port $[Service.GamePort] --query-port $[Service.QueryPort] --steam-master-port $[Service.CustomPort1] --steam-query-port $[Service.CustomPort2]

This will allow games to show in browser list.

my modconfig.lua is attached

game config is the one LFA posted, with JungleNZ's commandline added

if i run the game outside of TCAdmin, it launches fine, what gives?

modconfig.lua

[jungleNZ]

try this. (read and adjust your lua)

strange, I setup and ran your modconfig and server worked/started fine through tcadmin.

Are the server files updated? (dumb question I know).

[DevilzEye1]

Avo - Windows.xml

try my config directly, i dont think i changed anything, unless something in my panel got goofed

and yes, game is updated, it auto-updates after install (option checked in service config as well)

for whatever reason too, ~sometimes~ i get this error that the service could not be started :S

answered last post

[jungleNZ]

Works fine on my server and with modconfig.

On your server you created please try the following:

steam update (to ensure new files are there)

then run your server and see if still doing it. (sorry see you had already done that.

If so try my config.

heres what the console output is

i overwrote my config (via update) and saved/updated existing services, ill EDIT this post with the results of a fresh install

EDIT: deleted the server, created brand new, and got the same error using your config  big sadface

Edited April 11, 2021 by DevilzEye1

[DevilzEye1]

i found the problem:

outside of TCAdmin, these mods work fine. inside of TCAdmin however, they give the error

--    {workshopid = "2085305223"}, -- Weapon Engineering Station -- req 2017677089 
--    {workshopid = "2017677089"}, -- Weapon Engineering **error

so simply put, ill leave them permanently disabled/deleted

 

**** For future searches for the community, if you get the error mentioned above on the mod section, check the mods 1 at a time to ensure they work within TCAdmin, otherwise, disable them. The mod listed above "Weapon Engineering Station" is clearly mentioned on the info page of the mod to "use at your own risk" because it wasnt designed for multiplayer ****

Thank you for your help JungleNZ! I'm keeping your config, and adding a variable to it for the commandline for --admin ######

 

[jungleNZ]

Glad you got it sorted (although your modconfig worked fine on mine).

[DevilzEye1]

i dunno, maybe my tcadmin install itself is a little wonky because it does work outside of TCA... a couple games are giving me some issues so

the community can live without those two mods though
