[mod] Empyrion Web Access

Hi guys, im a little stuck on getting up and running.
I have installed into the server and renamed the xstart.txt file to start.txt.
my appsettings.json looks like this ( Although on here it says to call it appconfig.json which i have also tried --- https://github.com/GitHub-TC/EmpyrionWebAccess)

{
"Kestrel": {
"Endpoints": {
"Http": {
"Url": "http://176.57.153.xx:80"
},
"HttpsDefaultCert": {
"Url": "https://176.57.153.xx:443"
}
}
}
}

when trying to join either Url i just get timmed out, am i missing anything?

thanks

 

I think it is broken... probably the new patch for empyrion.

the mod starts the process, but does not open a port.
also tryed enabling other port/url in appsettings.json.

there are logfiles, maybe there is a problem.

 

Hi is there anywhere i can get help to install EWA step by step and help me troubleshoot it. Im running a hosted server at nitrado with reforged eden scenario and i wanted to use ewa so i can try out some mods and stuff . Ive never used it before and im stuck on the part where i need to set up the json file i uploaded it in the correctplace and changed the xstart to start but i cant understand how to connect to the service and set up the json file correctly to be able to connect I hope someone can help me or direct me to where i can find help with EWA.

 

We're late to the party I guess, have been a fan of EGS for years but the group I now game with, Salty Zombies, just started a server and I'm one of the admins for it. Also, my first time doing anything with a server so learning as I go. We're using EAH, but would love to use EWA also in order to be able to access the server from the web. From what I've read in Discord it is possible to run both in parallel but I can't find anything about it working with a PingPerfect server. Does anyone have any guidance or answers? I spent an hour or so this morning trying to follow the install directions on page 1 without success. Just thought I'd ask before wasting any more time if it's not possible. Thank you.

 

If the hoster allows a program to run on the server that offers a web server (and of course requires a port from which it can be reached from the outside through the firewalls), the EWA should also work.

EWA and EAH (full) work together in parallel without problems - if it is a Windows server.

 

Thank you for the help! I'll give it a shot.

 

1. Unzip the EWA files https://github.com/GitHub-TC/EmpyrionWebAccess/releases/download/6.1.3/EWALoader.6.1.3.zip into the EGS mod folder
2. Start your EGS
3. Rename the file in the EWA savegame mod folder to "start.txt"
4. Select the web server URL in the file "appsettings.json" in the EWA mod folder
5. Call this URL from a web browser (first local on the server - prevent the firewall) an the from outside

hi, I have a question (a little dumb, but still)
how to distribute tasks in the timetable in order to get a server restart with a message sent to the chat in advance and a backup created?

 

I’m not sure that the translator will convey my idea correctly, so in a simplified form what I want to do:
- automatic sending of a custom chat message (about an upcoming restart)
- the beginning of the restart process (countdown until the server shutdown)
- server stop
- start creating a backup
- finishing the backup and starting the server
what and in what order do I need to select in the timetable section for this?

 

and thats all ;-)

you have to setup the start cmd for EGS like

 

I cannot even get this to install in the first place, even after following the instructions EXACTLY, no "MODS" folder in the save game shows up, and keep getting an error when trying to start the server.

 

Extract the files from the ZIP into the EGS/Content/Mods folder and at startup something should "do" something in the logs and the safegame
https://github.com/GitHub-TC/EmpyrionWebAccess/releases/download/6.5.14/EWALoader.6.5.14.zip

PS: You should attach the log files and a screenshot of the directory because it is pure guessing what you have installed incorrectly

 

I cannot get this to work anymore. What is the name of the process? I don't think it is starting with the game. I have renamed the xstart file to start.txt, it is installed in the proper folder and I have looked at the config file and everything seems correct.

Have you set the "appsettings.json" for your server correctly? or check the [EGS]Logs\EWA to see if there are any hints in the log files

 

ha got it, so it was windows hiding the extension for the start.txt file, I thought I had set to show known extensions but I didn't on that vm so the file was actually named start.txt.txt. It is working now. Thx for the quick response and good mods!

 

Hello! We have two physical servers hosting Empyrion dedicated. We have the EWA installed on both servers. One works, one does not. For the one that does not work we see the following error in the dedicated log:

11-14:53:57.620 10_53 -LOG- {:EWAExtenderCommunication} Try to connect ExecServerCommunication. EWAToEmpyrionPipe32142de8d8cd4dd39321950b33d54a05 Reason: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find the specified file. at System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles.MemoryMappedFile.OpenExisting (System.String mapName) [0x00031] in <03f3355ff4214c59ae3f44587e76142b>:0 at SharedMemory.SharedBuffer.Open () [0x0017e] in <03f3355ff4214c59ae3f44587e76142b>:0 at SharedMemory.CircularBuffer..ctor (System.String name) [0x0000a] in <03f3355ff4214c59ae3f44587e76142b>:0 at EWAExtenderCommunication.ServerMessagePipe.ExecServerCommunication () [0x00014] in <0edd22ada46846e09796ddddb555cc4d>:0 at EWAExtenderCommunication.ServerMessagePipe.ServerCommunicationLoop () [0x00010] in <0edd22ada46846e09796ddddb555cc4d>:0

Not sure what would be missing between the two. Any thoughts?

This seems to be the place where EmpyrionModWebHost.exe would start. Is it unable to see DedicatedServer/EmpyrionDedicated.exe for some reason? Everything is running under SYSTEM.

The EWA folder is created in the save folder, with a json file and start.txt. There is no EmpyrionModWebHost.exe process running.

 

During the first initialization, the EWA assigns in the file [EGSServer]\Content\Mods\EWALoader\Client\Configuration.xml
unique names for the inter-process communication pipes e.g.

Code:

  <EmpyrionToModPipeName>EmpyrionToEWAPipedc423a62679c4280aa62d567ec44919e</EmpyrionToModPipeName>
<ModToEmpyrionPipeName>EWAToEmpyrionPipe8a1abe7f079845a4a3eca3996271e116</ModToEmpyrionPipeName>

these must be different for each EGS server.

It is best to always install the EWA from the ZIP file for a new server or at least get this file from the ZIP archive again
