chibisesa Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi everyone! Thank you in advance for helping me with this issue. I've successfully launched my server (Ubuntu, Linux), my concerns are below: 1. How to log off without disrupting the server? It won't allow me to do anything once I run/launch the server which is Step 12 on this guide ( Dedicated Server Quick Setup Guide - Linux by Klei Developers) It says "Sim paused" and just updates when there are users logging into the server, see this example: https://cl.ly/251K211l0c31 I want to be able to log out/shut down without affecting the server since I'm running the terminal via PuttY on my computer. 2. How to successfully install mods on a dedicated server running on Linux? Once #1 is solved, I can proceed with installing mods, how do I do this? I tried to follow @ToNiO55's guide but I was stuck. Here is my dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua file for my mods folder Spoiler --#MovingBox ServerModSetup("1079538195") --#FishFarm ServerModSetup("356435289") --#InfiniteTentUses ServerModSetup("356930882") --#ExtendedIndicatorsWIP ServerModSetup("358749986") --#WormholeMarks ServerModSetup("362175979") --#IncreasedStackSize ServerModSetup("374550642") --#ExtraEquipSlots ServerModSetup("375850593") Here is my modoverrides.lua file for both my Caves and Master folder Spoiler return { ["workshop-1079538195"]={ configuration_options={ beebox=true, birdcage=true, cartographydesk=true, cookpot=true, dragonflychest=true, dragonflyfurnace=true, endtable=true, firesuppressor=true, icebox=true, lightning_rod=true, meatrack=true, modsupport=false, moondial=true, mushroom_farm=true, mushroom_light=true, nightlight=true, perdshrine=true, pottedfern=true, rainometer=true, researchlab=true, researchlab2=true, researchlab3=true, researchlab4=true, resurrectionstatue=true, saltlick=true, scarecrow=true, sculptingtable=true, succulent_potted=true, townportal=true, treasurechest=true, wardrobe=true, winterometer=true }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-356435289"]={ configuration_options={ fishfarmrecipe="easy" }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-356930882"]={ configuration_options={ uses=10000000, uses2=10000000 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-358749986"]={ configuration_options={ IndicatorSize=4, MaxIndicator=7000, PlayerIndicators=1 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-362175979"]={ configuration_options={ ["Draw over FoW"]="disabled" }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-374550642"]={ configuration_options={ MAXSTACKSIZE=99 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-375850593"]={ configuration_options={ }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-382177939"]={ configuration_options={ [""]=true, eightxten="5x16", workit="yep" }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-396026892"]={ configuration_options={ OPT_DIFFICULTY=1 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-400409675"]={ configuration_options={ Burnables=1, Effectiveness2=0.05, Hauntables=1, Hunger_Cost=-10, Workables=1 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-439115156"]={ configuration_options={ avisual_musha="Bmm", avisual_pirate="BL", avisual_pirate_armor="pirate", avisual_princess="WSP", badge_type=2, bodyguardwilson=0, craftgems="color", deathPenalty="on", dietmusha="normal", difficultdamage="normal", difficultdamage_range="normal", difficulthealth="normal", difficultmusic="dmusic_normal", difficultover="monster1x", difficultrecipe="normal", difficultsanity="normal", difficultsleep="dsleep_normal", difficulttired="dtired_normal", favoritemusha="normal", frostblade3rd=1, incontainer=0, key=108, key10=110, key11=103, key12=116, key13=282, key14=283, key15=111, key2=114, key3=99, key4=120, key5=107, key6=122, key7=112, key8=118, key9=98, loudlightning="off", musha_incontainer=1, on_butterfly_shield=1, princess_taste="princess", shareitems=0, smartmusha="normal", stop_spawning=1 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-444235588"]={ configuration_options={ deluxeEndoFirepitBurnRate=0.75, deluxeFirepitBurnRate=0.75, dropLoot="yes", endoDropLoot="yes", heatStarBurnRate=0.9, heatStarDropLoot="yes", iceStarBurnRate=0.9, iceStarDropLoot="yes", recipeCost="standard", starsSpawnHounds="no" }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-458587300"]={ configuration_options={ Ownership=false, Travel_Cost=32 }, enabled=true } } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel86268 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 When you log out you don't disrupt or stop the server. The "sim paused" only indicates that the server stopped keeping world progressing or simulating while it's empty. It still continues to run and will continue progressing the world as soon as someone logs in. If this wouldn't be a case a dedicated server with noone playing would just count the day up and a fresh map could already say world day 3074 for the first player logging in after a while. (Unless that's your intention) Your mods setup looks correct so far. Keep in mind that if you run mods and keep their default configs you don't need to add the configuration options, which can clean up your modoverrides.lua. Did you already try these mod setups and they didn't work, or did you just want to have someone check if they are correct beforehand. (Just asking before I start searching for any issues without knowing if there is any.) As an example, with most default configs (I haven't checked if you just kept the default ones, or if you changed them) it would look like this: (You can just leave the "configuration_options { }" away as well, saves space. You can also mix and match the ones you want to modify and the ones you want to keep default as you wish, as you can see in this example. These configuration options only override the values you add and keep the rest default.) return { ["workshop-1079538195"]={ configuration_options={ beebox=true, birdcage=true, cartographydesk=true, cookpot=true, dragonflychest=true, }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-356435289"]={ configuration_options={ fishfarmrecipe="easy" }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-356930882"]={ configuration_options={ uses=10000000, uses2=10000000 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-358749986"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-362175979"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-374550642"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-375850593"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-382177939"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-396026892"]={ configuration_options={ OPT_DIFFICULTY=1 }, enabled=true }, ["workshop-400409675"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-439115156"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-444235588"]={ enabled=true }, ["workshop-458587300"]={ enabled=true } } Keep in mind, this is just a small example configuration, and will probably not be the exact configuration variant you want to have. It's just as a visual representation of what you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibisesa Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hmmm dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua seems to be erasing the changes I make to it. Also there's nothing in my ~/Steam/steamapps/ folder except libraryfolders.vdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibisesa Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 How do I stop the server and restart it again? I feel like this might be the solution. Since I've saved all my mod files, everything looks correct but it's still not showing on the actual server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work, I typed in "c_shutdown()" as admin on the server in-game, it dc'd me, I ran "~/run_dedicated_servers.sh" on the PuttY terminal, it successfully brought back the server but it still doesn't reflect the mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there's nothing in my ~/Steam/steamapps/ folder except libraryfolders.vdf Not sure why it erases the changes in your configuration. I'd assume it does that when you do the entire validation of the integrity of the server files before each startup. Aka Steam notices: "Hey, that's not like the original file, let's revert all changes you've made." Try running the startup script without the update stuff and see if that works. (outcomment the line "./steamcmd.sh [...]") According to your startup script your DST server install location is "$home/dontstarvetogether_dedicated_server". You can either use "c_shutdown()" from the ingame console or from the shell window. Keep in mind that you have to issue the command for both Master and Caves individually. The way you are starting up your server atm you have to enter the "c_shutdown()" twice in the console to shut down both Master and Caves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is that I had to create modoverrides.lua in both the Caves and Master folder, they look like text files instead of lua files :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an annoying thing of windows. so basicially your files are named modoverrides.lua.txt because windows skips the .txt by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try outcommenting the auto update when starting the server, because that might remove all changes you made to the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(without quotation marks) That way the server doesn't check for an update and it doesn't do an integrity check and possibly reverts changes again.

So I'll always have to restart it.. That happens when you close the console because by default the session is bound to your shell session. To prevent this from happening I recommend to use screen. Screen is a demon that allows you to run shell sessions without keeping a connection. to use it simply launch your startup shell like this: screen -s ./<DST startup script.sh> instead of ./<DST startup script.sh> Then you can just close the shell session or disconnect the screen session by pressing ctrl + a + d. To reconnect to a running screen running in the background you can first list all running sessions by entering screen -ls and reconnect to a session simply by typing screen -rx or, if you want to connect to a specific session screen -r <session id> (useful if you have multiple sessions running at the same time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can additionally give the session a name such that you can easily re-attach it to your terminal later: screen -S DSTServer -d -m ~/run_dedicated_servers.sh to re-attach: screen -d -r DSTServer The default key-binding to detach from a session without terminating the active server process is Ctrl-a Ctrl-d It's giving me this error when I type in screen -s ./run_dedicated_server.sh: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check It gives me the same error when I type in screen -r DSTServer OR screen -rx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibisesa Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Ok - I also used sudo to start a screen but it says that the socket port is already in use which makes sense because when I type in screen -ls, there is already a screen running the server. https://cl.ly/2R321R3C2u0I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibisesa Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 The only thing that works is this: screen -d -r DSTServer And when I type it in, it shows me this: https://cl.ly/3F1c12420L13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you do that instead of just using screen -s ./<your startup script> (Which just starts a server session inside screen.) The error you are getting is because you already have a server running in screen in the background on the same port. Use screen -rx to reattach the one in the background and shut it down if necessary using c_shutdown() instead of just closing the shell window.
