I did it no problem but how can i add mods ??

Did you do it using ONLY this guide and not changing anything else?

 

Just wondering.

 

Edit: Okay, I got the server to launch, but now it doesn't appear when I search for it in the server list?

I have a problem with the dont_starve_server_dedicated_nullrender file, I have all the files and this error box says that windows can find it, where is that file?, why I don't have it, and how can I setup mods with this new way?

 

Edit: scratch that, looks like was little mistake with the steamcmd instalation, for everyone who have this same problem try to reinstall steamcmd, now I just want to know about mods

You need to download the program to run it. that will allow you too launch the server. Also some of you say your server doesnt show up on the list when you search for it. Mine is the same way but others can search for it. Ill be putting mine online called(The New Realm) If you can find it please let me know.

so I managed to figure it out but I get this thing called sim pause and when I launch the caves on my dedicated server it says "There was some kind of trouble starting up the server. How odd."

sim is a good.thing. Now one thing that isnt posted is that you need to leave the beta verion. Go under properties and go back to the regular one. Now if you still have problems then under where you have your folders you have the ones for the game and then for the dedicated server part. Make sure you have the server under both locations. 

If anyone still have problems i will make a zip file that you guys can upload to your folders. I promise this will solve the problem.

 

Now as for mods not working... Well im still trying to fix it on my server too. I got the world working so I can change all settings for it. Works great. ;)

It's a really nice tutorial, thanks a lot :)

Just a thing, in the file "StartDSTServers.{bat/sh}", the first line destroys the file "dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua" so it's impossible to add mods in the server (without this line, everything it's ok ;))

Got my dedicated server up and running within 30 minutes using the OP's general concept, but used a lot of my own steps. I wanted to transfer my world that I've been hosting to a dedicated one. Here's what I did:

  1. Launch DST and Host a new server - get all the settings the way you want them
  2. Generate the new world and enter the game
  3. Disconnect and go to account info, generate the cluster token
  4. Go into documents/klei/donotstarvetogether and locate the server slot you created. Since I have several worlds, the one that I wanted was Cluster_3.
  5. Copy cluster_token.txt inside the world file and rename the copy to cluster_token_old.txt
  6. In the original cluster_token.txt, paste the cluster token you got from account info
  7. Create this .bat file in an easy to access place:
    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server\bin"
    start dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console -cluster Cluster_3 -shard Master
    start dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console -cluster Cluster_3 -shard Caves
  8. The two servers started without a hitch for me. Note that anyone using this should change Cluster_3 to whatever the folder name is containing your world.

Did you know Why my second world isn't a cave?, I have two regular worlds linked with sinkholes, and since the last update my server stop every 30 minutes, just the master server, is quite annoying
