MIgrate game to dedicated server

[PRabahy]

I have a game that I started with some friend that I would like to migrate to a dedicated server (running on my machine). I was hoping it would be as easy as:

1. Installing the dedicated server from within Steam

2. Running the "TheNet:GenerateServerToken()" command.

3. Running dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe from the command line.

 

When I try to launch the server, I get

[00:00:02]: [200] Account Failed (6): "E_INVALID_TOKEN"
[00:00:02]: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:00:02]: !!!! Your Server Will Not Start !!!!
[00:00:02]: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can post the whole log if needed, but I have have tried several things without any luck. I ran the ""TheNet:GenerateServerToken()" command several times, copied the server token into the Settings.ini file, moved the files to a different directory and used the -conf_dir command, verified the game's files through steam, etc. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Hi PRabahy

 

Did you copy the server token from inside the server_token.txt because if so it wont work

just copy and paste the server_token.txt to your custom directory (the folder with the settings.ini)

 

heres a link that should help you out

I have tried just using the default directory (not copying the file at all), copying the entire file to a custom directory, and copying just the string from inside the file to my Setting.ini file, but none of them have worked for me.

ok did you try restarting the server after you ran the TheNet:GenerateServerToken()

also to clarify did you run the command in your DST client?

Here are the exact steps that I took to generate the server token:

1. Launch DST.

2. At the main screen, press ~.

3. Paste in "TheNet:GenerateServerToken()".

4. Press enter.

5. Close DST.

6. Open a command prompt.

7. cd to the directory containing dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe.

8. Run dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe.
