No you can add a environment var to Windows too. A quick google, this has been confirmed to work. I will try around 6PM tonight, im at work right now. If you get it working, please share.

We won't be taking this route as we will be waiting for the commandline parameter to set the world path, but please share your results after testing

Yeah its not the best and i dont personally like it. Having a command line option would be loads better, but i doubt they will add it now if its not already there. Seems like a common sense thing to do. Even when i wrote my own small game, the server had the ability to change data path.

I'm still hopeful though.

-savedir has been added by the devs.

[conceptr980]

I saw that in their recent patch changelog today. Does anyone tested the commandline with -savedir and share it ??

-savedir $[Service.RootDirectory]\world_name

or ???

Anyone has a script for backing up the "worlds" folder on AfterStopped event? Whatever I've done, the script I have won't create backups folder.
However, that same script, when set to "Custom Icon" event works flawlessly.

[conceptr980]

I tested the new command -savedir and added it to this config and its pretty much straight forward, here it is:

-nographics -batchmode -name "$[HostName]" -port $[Service.GamePort] -savedir $[Service.RootDirectory]Saved -world "![World]" -password "secret" -public ![Public]

I used a folder called saved so it wont mess the game root with the saved worlds ... etc

I hope that help

Savedir works for us, I just have it set to the game server's root path and it's been working. It throws the worlds folder right into the game server's root directory so it's easily accessed by customers.

Any idea how to run multiple servers of this game without them breaking?

Just change the port number? No issues so far using TCAdmin to launch the shell file. What issues are you having?

[horton]

The first server created works fine without any issues but as soon as I made the second one it goes to pid 0. the port is open and the commandline is fine so not really sure what could cause this.

[markmorris1]

Yeah starting two servers for me is on a crash loop not found why yet. But whatever server i startup 2nd it crashes.

[markmorris1]

So actually TCAdmin behaives very strange, Load first server no problems (regardless of which server i start first) however the 2nd server i load, will show the hostname of the 1st server in my panel, just note PORTS are different.

[markmorris1]

Okay, so figured it out. PORT is HARD CODED on command line.

Start it with a batch file. valheim_server.bat:

set XDG_CONFIG_HOME=%CD%\Worlds
valheim_server.exe %*

 

[markmorris1]

No longer needed, there is now a command line option in the latest update. -savedir "PATH"

I believe it is a bug their end. My servers would crash if slots set to 10, had to put max at 64, then had default at 10. This also stop the game crashing 5 mins into running (always had error that slots had been changed)

Can confirm, the 64 slots appearing on TCA and Steam protocols are bugs.. the servers in-game only show 10 slots.

[crunkinshoe]

There is no way to set the IP correct? Only runs on primary IP?

No there is not. Let's need to add a -ip protocol

Anyone else seeing a issue where changes to the commandline parameters on a server is not read by the server?

The initial settings will be used, but if trying to change worldname / servername on a server that has gone full cycle, the server will still start with the old name and worldname. 

E.g You are staring a brand new server with parameters: 

-name "MyServer1" -world "MyServer1"

Then stop the server and change the startup parameters to:

-name "MyServer2" -world "MyServer2"

After the server has started, it still runs the world MyServer1 (no MyServer2 world file is even created) and the name is still MyServer1 ?

If running the server from a bat file, however, and make the same changes to that bat file - the changes are read every time.

I fail to see the logic here.

Hi.

Can you please type the command line, and what port we can use to this?:)

[Smolf]

How to add log, to see whats going on with the server?

No way as yet. As server doesn't create log file.
