dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua not getting read

Snowhusky5 · February 15, 2016

So, I am currently moving my old dedicated server to the new server structure, and everything is working, except for mods. I have traced the problem to the dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua, since normally this file would cause mods to be downloaded before the server starts, even if they are not used. However, the dedicated server does not do this when it started via the .bat file. For further testing, I put a print statement into the file, which was never printed.

So, my question is this: is this file in the right directory? Do I need something else? I have it in ...steamapps\common\don't starve together dedicated server\mods\dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Snowhusky5

yes it's right directory for dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua

but where is your modoverrides.lua?

Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\Cluster_1\Master\modoverrides.lua

Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\Cluster_1\Caves\modoverrides.lua

can you also show your server_log.txt please?

Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\Cluster_1\Master\server_log.txt

@ToNiO55, yes, that is where my modoverrides are. I even tested that they were being found by putting a print statement in them (which causes the server to crash since print is not declared). Here is the log:

As you can see, the mods are never even downloaded. My dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua only contains two statements, a print statement for testing and ServerModCollectionSetup("579937534").

Snowhusky5 · February 16, 2016

Anyone have any ideas why it is not working?

ToNiO55 · February 16, 2016

@Snowhusky5

can you show me screenshots of path directory of your dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua and both modoverrides.lua and also screenshots of what do you have in dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua and both modoverrides.lua please

Snowhusky5 · February 16, 2016

@ToNiO55 Ok. Screenshots are attached. You can see the file paths in the windows headers.

ToNiO55 · February 16, 2016

@Snowhusky5

i have testing your dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua on my server test and he works perfectly

useless for now to use the modoverrides.lua, because dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua look like doesn't work for you

the type of your dedicated_server_mods_setup is correctly lua?

Snowhusky5 · February 16, 2016

@ToNiO55 yep, its a lua file. I'm gonna try reinstalling the app.

edit: ok, I figured it out. When launched via bat file, the mods will not get installed, presumably since the exe is limited to the bin folder or something? Anyways, I just copied my server settings over to the cluster_1 folder and it works.

ToNiO55 · February 16, 2016

@Snowhusky5

ok, let's me know if you have still same problem

Snowhusky5 · February 16, 2016

@ToNiO55 ok, so when I start it via the bat file I get the master and caves servers but no mods, and when I start it by double clicking the tool I get mods but only the master server. Do you know if I could set the steam launch options to launch two copies of the game? What bat file do you use to start the game?

ToNiO55 · February 16, 2016

@Snowhusky5

it's dedicated server installed with SteamCMD? or you use Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server in tools of Steam?

Snowhusky5 · February 16, 2016

@ToNiO55 oh, nevermind, I figured out the problem. I didn't realize steamCMD make its own copy of the apps you run with it.
