Chillaxin Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I followed the steps word-for-word but when I run the .bat file it says it cannot find nullrender.exe I am trying to get a beta server up and running at all times even when I'm not playing but klei can't figure out how to write a guide that actually works.

Type TUNING.MAX_SERVER_SIZE = 64 in the console before entering the Host Game menu, or use this mod. 26 minutes ago, Chillaxin said: when I run the .bat file it says it cannot find nullrender.exe Is your batch file located in the bin folder of your DST installation? If so, are you running it via a shortcut? And if so, have you changed the "Start in" path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillaxin Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I put the .bat file in the place of the directions ' (in Steam, right-click Don't Starve Together -> Properties -> Local Files tab -> Browse Local Files) ' It's the default location from a fresh install -- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\bin I didn't run a shortcut. I'm running the .bat as administrator directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 @Chillaxin, you have to place the batch file in the bin folder of your DST installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillaxin Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\bin Yes, it's in there. Same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 The error message means either the file is not there or you're trying to call the wrong file. Check if there's a file named dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe in the bin folder. If there isn't, verify the integrity of your game cache. If the file is there, or if you still receive the same error message, please post the contents of your batch file (open it with a text editor, press Ctrl-A to select all, then copy it and paste it here, or upload the file somewhere) to check if everything's OK.

Chillaxin Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yes, the dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrender.exe is in the bin folder. dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe -only_update_server_mods start "My DST Server Master" dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe -skip_update_server_mods -console -cluster Cluster_5 -shard Master start "My DST Server Caves" dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe -skip_update_server_mods -console -cluster Cluster_5 -shard Caves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Have you tried running the batch file without administrator privileges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillaxin Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yes, when I do that. I get a different error stating it cannot find the .bat file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alainmcd Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 That's when you run the file as admin, right? There's an issue with admin privileges, it's started in C:\Windows\System32 instead of the current folder. Add a new line at the top of your RunDSTServer.bat with this text (I've added it to the guide to avoid this issue): cd /D "%~dp0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillaxin Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Now everytime running the .bat it says expired cluster token. Yes, i know how to make a cluster token. I copy and pasted the text into a .txt document. I then copy and pasted that document into every folder in the klei folder "donotstarvetogether" "DoNotStarveTogetherANewReignBeta" and "mydediserver" but despite having a copy of the token everywhere the system always says expired cluster token.

Chillaxin Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 lol I added a copy of the cluster token document to the bin folder in hopes it would work. Unfortunately no luck. I feel like I'm so close to finally being able to have my own server . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 You have to place your cluster_token.txt in the Cluster_5 folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Do I have to always run the script or is it only a 1 time thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 @Hela, hi and welcome around here! You need to run the script to relaunch your server (after restarting your computer, updating the game or shutting down the server, but not to rejoin your game if you left your server running in the background).

Chillaxin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thank again! I've been using the server for a while now with lots of fun. I do have a question -- Is there a way to disable "Vote Server Regeneration" ? People like to greif players by constantly spamming votes or even more terrible - actually winning the vote. The game doesn't even tell people who is initiating the horrible voting process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 @Chillaxin, no problem! Open your cluster.ini file (should be in (My) Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogetherANewReignBeta\Cluster_5), add this line: vote_enabled = false under [GAMEPLAY]. According to this thread, there's also this option: enable_vote_kick = false under [NETWORK] to disable vote kicking. I haven't tried either, so I can't say for sure whether they work or not. If your file doesn't have a [GAMEPLAY] or [NETWORK] section, simply add it at the end of the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alainmcd Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi @Houaiss! Open the file with Notepad, go to File -> Save As... In the Save as type dropdown menu select All Files (*.*), then type in RunDSTServer.bat as the file name and save. Make sure you save it in the bin folder of your DST installation - if you're having trouble saving it there because of permissions, you can always save it to your desktop and then move/copy over the file. And welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
