Config Request - Interstellar Rift

[DevilzEye1]

Was wondering if anyone has made a config for Interstellar Rift?

The default server files use powershell to execute the server binary, can TCAdmin do this? If so, I'll attempt to make one, and upload the config when done, unless someone already did

[Dennis]

Yes, that is possible. Just set the "Executable" to be the .ps1 file.

What's the content of the script?

[DevilzEye1]

$startCount = 0

$crashCount = 0

$arguments = "-server"

while ($true)

{

    $startCount++

 Write-Output "$(Get-Date -Format o): Starting server with arguments ($($arguments))... Start count: $($startCount)"

 $process = Start-Process $(Resolve-Path "IR.exe") $arguments -PassThru

 $crashFilePath = "$($env:APPDATA)\InterstellarRift\$($process.Id).crashed"

 while (!$process.HasExited)

 {

  if ($(Get-Item $crashFilePath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -ne $null)

  {

   $crashCount++

   $Host.UI.WriteErrorLine("$(Get-Date -Format o): Server crashed... Restarting server. Crash count: $($crashCount)")

   Stop-Process -InputObject $process

   Remove-Item $crashFilePath

   break

  }

  Start-Sleep 1

 }

 foreach ($childProcess in $(Get-WmiObject win32_process | where { $_.ParentProcessId -eq $process.Id }))

 {

  Stop-Process -Id $childProcess.ProcessId

 }

}

You don't need to start it with the PowerShell script. You can simply start it using the executable file "IR.exe".

All the script seems to do is restart if the process crash - and that's already something TCAdmin does

excellent, ill get it set up and test it out, not sure what to use for the query protocol though, is there a cheat sheet for that part of adding a game? to determine how a game is queried?

forgot to mention, the server saves the entire configuration, workshop files, and save files in the %appdata%\Roaming\InterstellarRift directory, this will be a problem, any workarounds since TCAGame user doesnt have such directory?

[Dennis]

They do, they just can't access it. Unless you can specify something like a savepath in a configuration file or parse it as a command line parameter when starting the server, you can't do anything about it.

welp, to my knowledge, i have yet to find a commandline argument that can specify a savepath of any kind, and i googled all night last night... i see that other hosting providers have the game available under a panel of some sort, must be a way... somehow... my search continues then.

thank you for the insight though!

from a developer: It's currently not possible to change to another folder, however it is possible to have multiple servers running on the same machine. use the
-serverAddition 2
 argument, and it'll look for or create a file named
Config_02.json
 instead of
Config.json
. Same with
userdb_02
 and
server_02.json

you can use different numbers in the argument to run -if i recall correctly- up to 9 different servers on the same machine

There's nothing wrong with using the %appdata% folder in TCAdmin. The game server will work as usual.

[DevilzEye1]

Alrighty, I'll have it run like that and just manually configure it via the desktop, thank you

For any who look for this server in the future, here is my working config
