joining server using several chars/ resetting server

[arheidis]

Hello folks

 

I've got my dedicated 2 days ago and would like to know if there;s any way to join an endless server using different characters. It's a pain in the ass to play with the same if I'm just testing him out and don;t want to continue anymore. Does server_save_slot = 1 have anything to do with what I'm asking?

Also how do I reset a server? 

 

I would also like to talk with players through the web console... what's the command for chatting?

I haven't managed to find how to enter god mode either, to remove different things from the server... little help?

 

Thanks

You can use the command:

c_despawn(AllPlayers[x])

to despawn a player. x is the number of the player in the table you open while pressing tab.

After being despawned, they will be asked to pick a new character.

 

In the console, you can use:

c_listallplayers()

to list all players if you don't have access to the tab.

 

To reset the server, you use:

c_reset(save)

with save = true, if you want to save, save = false if not.

 

To reset the world, you use:

c_regenerateworld()

To announce things on top of the screen, you use:

c_announce("Hello World")

More commands are available in consolecommands.lua.

Ok it's working thanks... any idea how to make it work using game console as well?

• server_save_slot = value - what does this do?
• god mode please?
• where do I find consolecommands.lua?
• I tried to make custom presets for the map, but it didn't work. I read on the website that I need to write the parameters in worldgenoverride.lua. Is that correct? Where do I place that file? Where my settings.ini, server_token.txt and mods files are? and after I just reset world and new custom map is generated?

Thanks for your help I'm really new with this stuff.

server save slot specifies the number when the world save file is generated, like survival_1.

 

Godmode is c_godmode(), after running SetDebugEntity(AllPlayers[x]), or else you may apply godmode to somebody else.

 

consolecommands.lua is inside SteamApps/commob/Don't Starve Together Beta/data/scripts.

 

worldgenoverride.lua is read when generating a new world, yes, and it goes with settings.ini and server_token, yes.

great it works... but I couldn't use worldgenoverride.lua until I would reinstall my server. it would keep getting stuck in an endless loop. I would be able even to run it without mods. I have trouble understanding why the server gets broken so bad so easily that I always have to back up everything and copy paste it back after I reinstall the server.
