Dedicated Server Issues

DaniDestruction · July 28, 2015

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a dedicated server that runs off of my computer. I've been following the wiki post about setting up the server, and for some reason I'm not getting the second configuration file folder so that my settings save. (I've been playing on my server when i had it up before, and my map would not save to the server, so i'd have a blank map everytime i'd log in) I've copied the -conf_dir myDSTserver to the .exe in the target area so that it would create the config directory, but it's not showing up. I'm also running the dedicated server via shortcut, not through the direct .exe under the bin folder. I hope that all makes sense haha. I'm not very good at explaining things.

Here's the log file if that helps any:

Hi @DaniDestruction,

It seems not to be seeing your command line option '-conf_dir myDSTserver - the log file says the server is started without command line arguments.

What exactly do you mean when you say 'I've copied the -conf_dir myDSTserver to the .exe in the target area'? I think you need to modify the shortcut to use the command line option '-conf_dir myDSTserver '

I right clicked the .exe, went to properties and then pasted it at the end of "dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer". I'm not sure where else I would put that at.

Hi @DaniDestruction,

A-ha, you didn't create a shortcut, you merely renamed the executable.

In order to create a shortcut, you right-click the exe and select 'create shortcut' from the dropdown. Now if you open up the properties of that shortcut you should be able to set command line options by adding them in the 'target' field, after the executable path, and outside the quotes, and with a whitespace before it, as in

"F:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Don't Starve Together Beta\bin\dontstarve_steam.exe" -conf_dir MyDSTServer

DaniDestruction · July 28, 2015

@bizziboi

So i dont actually add that to the dedicated server .exe? Just to the actual don't starve client?

bizziboi · July 28, 2015

@DaniDestruction,

Ah, no my bad - that was just to show what the command line should look like (as some people enter it inside the quotes'. It should be applied to the server shortcut.

DaniDestruction · July 28, 2015

Alright, I did that fine. Now it's telling me my server token isnt working. And I generated it and put it in the correct file location. Restarted the server. Still nothing :\

bizziboi · July 28, 2015

@DaniDestruction,

Hmmm, can you copy and paste your log for that? It's a bit outside my realm but others know more

bizziboi · July 29, 2015

@DaniDestruction,

Did you put the generated token in the new directory? (the myDSTServer one)

Also make sure you didn't mistype or mis-copy&paste the token...they generally don't expire.

I'd suggest generating your token once more and copy and pasting it in the right location just to be sure.

DaniDestruction · July 29, 2015

Yeah I just tried that and it worked, I feel like an idiot since it was so simple. The wiki guide is a little hard to read. Thank you for all of your help @bizziboi

You guys are da best <3

@DaniDestruction,

Cool, glad we got it to work Enjoy!
