Here is a quick list of issues my husband & I are having with our EGS MP server on Host Havoc: 1. Drone base attack waves set to OFF yet still the waves come. 2. Robinson Protocol never initiated, as in there was never a prompt window to accept/deny quest. If anyone knows how to fix these issues, any comments are much appreciated!
Double check your yaml file for #1. It is probably still on. The Robinson protocol will not kick off in multiplayer. It is a single player mechanic.
The yaml file says "OFF". I watched my husband type it in, then save. Thanks for the feedback though! I guess maybe it's a bug on Host Havoc's end?
This is what the default looks like. ### Influences the difficulty of the drone base attacks (infinite waves, number of waves etc.) [Off, Easy, Medium, Hard] # DiffDroneBaseAttack: Medium Just out of curiosity, did you remove the '#' at the front? You are probably aware it's a comment character but its worth mentioning.
First, thanks for keeping in touch with me on this issue! Second, are we supposed to keep the # character before the DiffDroneBaseAttack: and third, I do not know what a comment character's purpose is. Thank you again!
A comment character in a script file means 'ignore this line, it is just a note'. You need to remove it so the system will accept the line as valid input.
LOL, I understand. Actually comments are essential in a script, because you can make notes on things for future reference.
He opened the gameoptionsyaml in the host havoc. it says: DiffDroneBaseAttack: Off There are no comment characters on any of the options, by the way
U might want to chance ur title. This has nothing to do with Host Havoc and can scare ppl away from them if u read just the title. The problems your haveing are user problems. The hoster doesnt setup the game. U have to do that your self
Well first never delete any of those files. Unless u know what your doing. To disable the drone waves just remove the drone base and remove the drones waves from the yaml. Need a planet wipe to take effect
1) if you have started a new game already with them on you may need to start another new game with it set to off before starting. Make sure in the scenario folder in the gameoptions.yaml that it is already setup to have this option to be setup on a new game start. scenario folder location for the Default random scenario with the Robinson protocol: Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Content\Scenarios\Default Random Under valid for MP change this: Code: - ValidFor: [ MP, Survival ] # DiffDroneBaseAttack: Medium # default value to this to turn them off from the start of a new game: Code: - ValidFor: [ MP, Survival ] DiffDroneBaseAttack: Off # default value Also you can look & the gameoptions_example.yaml for more info on settings. 2) Which scenario is the 'Gameconfig' setup for in the dedicated.yaml ? by default it should say Default Akua-Omicron which is the default MP scenario. To use the scenario 'default random' which has the Robinson protocol you need to put a # infront of the Customscenario: Default Akua-Omicron: Code: GameConfig: GameName: Newgame Mode: Survival Seed: 2309115 # CustomScenario: Default Akua-Omicron After making these changes save the dedicated.yaml (after creating a new GameName in the Game config of the dedicated.yaml) & gameoptions.yaml.
Thank you for your inputs everyone! @Pantera : As soon as hubby gets back from the store I will have him look at the example code (he's the one with the brains ) And to those celebrating: Happy 4th folks!
Sorry @ECubed ! Late reply - got a bit distracted over the weekend. The problem still persists. However, after reading what @Pantera said & showed about the location of the files etc., my husband couldn't find the folders, they are different on the server (we are using Host Havoc). I wonder if it is because we are not a "dedicated server" that we can't get the settings to work. Multiple times, he set the settings using the host havoc set up and by typing it in the text file and saving several times before restarting. Still, the settings for drone base attack waves turned back on. At this point, I am okay with it. All the help from you nice people and still our problem exists. It's a bit irritating that the settings keep resetting somehow (or are ignored by the server in some way) BUT! I have gotten used to the drones by now and find the loot from them very helpful. Thanks again for all your help though! I might just join someone else's server lol
