Phew, a lot of backend and skins-related work going on, but we're getting back to caves fixes and improvements. The biggest thing in today's release is the first version of NAT Traversal for dedicated servers. What this means is, you no longer have to open ports on your router for other players to connect to your dedi, just like how it works with host games. This is the first big part of making it easier for people to run dedicated servers with minimal configuration.
 
There are some known issues with this version, mainly that joining a dedicated server from the steam friends list or steam overlay no longer work.
 
There's nothing you have to do to make this work, but if you want to help us test it, you can try closing any ports on your router that you previously opened and see if other people can still connect to it.
 
Build number: 153171
 
New features and improvements:

  • NAT Traversal for dedicated servers.
  • If you click "wear now" in the gift popup, the new item is selected by default.
  • The wardrobe defaults to the clothes on your character, rather than those from your profile.

Bugs fixes:

  • Monkeys don't trigger tooth traps.
  • Monkeys can steal a trap even if they get hit by it.
  • Monkeys not changing into nightmaremonkeys.
  • Construction amulet gets used up twice as fast as it should.
  • Tweaks to collection screen and gift popup art.
  • Removed gifting debug data from dedicated servers.
  • Fixed crash writing on blank signs

 

If you missed it, instructions on how to get into the caves beta are here:

When I Ieave my game and join back the map resets. Obviously It's not a major problem but it's getting a little annoying. Everything else saves though, I still have everything in my inventory, every object placed is still standing, and it's still the same day that it was when I left. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Phew, a lot of backend and skins-related work going on, but we're getting back to caves fixes and improvements.

So there's this change in DST where you can't interact with things in the dark. I'm not sure why this was implemented, but can you please make one exception for the star caller's staff? The entire point of the staff is to free up inventory room so that carrying twigs, grass, and wood is no longer necessary, but if you find yourself in a situation where you'd need to use it like if you're in the darkness, then you will not be able to unless you create light by another method first which essentially invalidates the staff's existence.

There's this really great panic moment I think we've all had when our lantern or fire light disappears, and we suddenly find ourselves in the darkness with Charlie bearing down on us while we're scrambling to make a torch or place another fire. Luckily you can make torches and place fires in the dark, but if all you have is a star caller's staff, you're outta luck bud.

 

This makes me wary of going out without grass, twigs, and wood if I only have a staff as backup, and if I am bringing stuff to make torches or campfires, then why bring the staff?

@Ipsquiggle, What do you mean close the ports? What exactly should we change? 

 

I clarified the OP a little. There's nothing you need to do if you don't want, just keep playing. :D

 

However, if in the past you had to open ports in your router to get your server working, that's no longer necessary. You can (if you feel like it!) try closing those ports again to see if our new tech is working. :)

 

So there's this change in DST where you can't interact with things in the dark. I'm not sure why this was implemented, but can you please make one exception for the star caller's staff? 

 

This is a good point, thank you!

 

Can someone help me out? How do I go about updating my DST_Cave dedicated server? The servers are trying to link up but they keep saying mismatched versions. I tried changing the version.txt in my DST_Cave folder but it didn't work.

 

First make sure that both servers have been shut down. Then,

  • if you are updating the servers through the Steam client, you'll need to right-click on the dedicated server, Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Tool Cache.
  • if you are updating the servers through steamcmd, make sure you include "validate" in your update command, as in:

steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 343050 -beta cavesbeta validate +quit

 

Hope that helps!

I can't connect to my caves now. When I try to go in the sinkhole, I always get the server not responding pop up.  Here are my logs for both slave and master server. It was working prior to this new update and I didn't change anything other than updating the server, and DST.

 

I also noticed that the servers say they are connected, but my slave server is coming up in the server listings for some reason.

So I have the server working now, and I know ruins are already in, but how do they work? Do I have to run a third server, or have I just not found another cave entrance yet?

 

You dont need a third server. Now ruins is part of caves, mate ;)

Really? It seems that they're just too big to be a center of cave maps. Have you accomplished whole mapping of cave?

I can't guarantee it's always the case. Their plan is just for the ruins to be more in the center, and lesser threats to be on the outside.
