Troubleshooting

Definitely having the same issue it wont Start when i try to use the telnet

 

I have a deticated server through BlackBoxServer. My server is not working I have reinstalled and updated it but when I try to play server is unresponsive through there server connection or cannot find it in the list of active serves in game. Status of the server is Status: Running (pid 4588)

 

If you have a hosted server, then speak with your server host... if it is not showing up, but shows as running, something is configured wrong on their end.

 

My DS is up and running ok. But, I used all new files, new fresh install, new configs. I did not carry anything over from prior versions.

At the minimum of your troubleshooting stages, you should clean and wipe then run your DS with fresh settings. If it still does not work, then it may be a bug with something, and providing as much hardware and driver details may help isolate what is conflicting.

 

On the other hand mine is up and running and I reused my Alpha Pre-release map and edited the new configs to point to and match the save. I hope no one is trying to re-use the old maps from the pre-alpha...

 

I like your living on the edge manner!

 

I can't get the Adminconfig to work where do i put in
Elevated:
- Id: 999999999999
Permission: 9

Before or after the brackets I have tried both and nothing I need help here!!!

 

Same here. Did you ever get it sorted?

 

NO I have tried a bunch of different ways but no luck

 

anyone get telnet working ??
I start the server works fine. Shut down server turn on telnet and it starts then shuts down in a few seconds by itself

 

Does telnet shut down by itself, or does the whole DS? For me, depending on how 'quickly' I telnet in... it will drop the telnet session after like 5 status updates. If I re-telnet back in, its fine, and remains connected and showing status updates for, like, ever.

 

DS shuts down as soon as i enable it in the dedicated yaml

 

was working before this update

 

Interesting.

How did you edit your yaml? I'm thinking something that may conflict, crash, or otherwise mess up the execution of the DS may have snuck in. As in, since the DS runs fine when you have the Tel_* items commented out, but does not run when they are un-commented... maybe you have some sort of extra bad-chars in the mix?

This is original clean yaml (commented out):

Code:

    # Tel_Enabled: true   # Activate telnet server
    # Tel_Port: 30004
    # Tel_Pwd: Abc

 

Clearly their default password is silly... but I wonder if something more complex (non-ascii chars) may be causing a beef. Hmm, lemme test with mine for a few spell here.

 

here is mine if i remove the # from the three telnet it wont work

# Dedicated server settings
# To use your own dedicated.yaml (e.g., "MyDedicatedConfig.yaml"), add "-dedicated MyDedicatedConfig.yaml" to the corresponding batch file

ServerConfig:
Srv_Port: 30000
Srv_Name: BGSR Alpha 1.0
Srv_Password: ??????
#Srv_MaxPlayers: 8
# Srv_ReservePlayfields: 2 # Idle playfield servers held in reserve. For busy public servers, we recommend at least 2 (default = 1)

#Server description shown in Server Browser
#max 127 chars: "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
#Srv_Description: "BGSR bold text or a link."

# All playfield servers will be automatically stopped every <n> real time hours. Players will get some warning messages before
# Srv_StopPeriod: 48

#Tel_Enabled: true # Activate telnet server
#Tel_Port: 30004
#Tel_Pwd: Abc

# EACActive: false
# SaveDirectory: Saves

GameConfig:
GameName: BGSR # Determines name of the save game

Dear god I need some Help spent 6 hours and we cant get server up at all nore even my friend connect to be after update..

1 problem is do I need both folder I deleted 1 and no I can even see my server even as a lan and only I could connect to it.

now it don't work at all

this is what I have for settings. every time I copy pasted it in here it would get all messed up so picture it is.
we have tried everything remove all fire walls on router and comp nothing changed all we get is failed to connect to server on my comp or his it shouldn't be this hard to set up a server.
this IS MY router setting and I have the same for the port fowarding

 

Ok, I discovered this:

If you have FIVE spaces before Tel_Pwd, it will crash on launch. If you have FOUR, it will launch.

Code:

OK:
<snip>
    # Srv_StopPeriod: 48
   
    Tel_Enabled: true   # Activate telnet server
    Tel_Port: 30004
    Tel_Pwd: booboo
   
    # EACActive: false
<snip>

Crashes for me (note spacing):
<snip>
    # Srv_StopPeriod: 48
   
    Tel_Enabled: true   # Activate telnet server
    Tel_Port: 30004
     Tel_Pwd: booboo
   
    # EACActive: false
<snip>

 

I do know if you don't have space after : it will not launch and crash

 

make sure you match your config file with ports open and should look something like this
