Troubleshooting

I will try that

 

Actually more I have discovered is this new 'cleaner yaml' file is that it is EXTREMELY TOUCHY LOL!!!

Extra spaces, missing spaces, extra lines, different format of newlines, seem to also cause a crash of the server. Seems like 'word pad' is not friendly with it either (I use notepad++). Hmm, I kind of preferred the prior yaml format, to be honest.

 

Something else to help you guys... look into the "Logs" directory in your "Empyrion - Galactic Survival" directory. Open up the latest "Dedicated_######-####.log". Inside you should see why it crashed or stopped running. For example with the 'five spaces' issue I mentioned above, I get this kind of error in the log:

"
15-21:57:34.628 ERR: Error while reading server configuration from E:/Steam/steamapps/common/Empyrion - Galactic Survival/EmpyrionDedicated_Data/../dedicated.yaml
"

Which tells me, it doesnt like those five spaces lol!

 

yeah they all match

 

thanks, do u know about admin config and how to set that up?

 

um, why do you have the server set to 29000 and the port forwarding set to 26900?

 

The example given in this thread works fine, just replace the 9999999 with your steam id

 

I change it awhile ok just didn't update when I posted picture

 

Same here that does not work, Please send screenshot of the admin setup.

 

can you quick link it please

# Admin Configuration

# This file can contain two lists: one with elevated players with special permissions
# and one with banned players.

# 'Id' is a SteamID64 in both lists, lookup possible at https://steamid.io/
# 'Permission' is 3 for 'GameMaster', 6 for 'Moderator' and 9 for 'Admin' - other values are not allowed.
# 'Until' is the time when the ban ends.


Elevated:
- Id: 99999999999999999
Permission: 9

copy and past (with steam id changed) of my (tested) working admin config.

 

here is what i am doing. is this right?

Still says that "Permission Error: Cannot be executed by client MainLinX

 

no bracket at end, and a space before your steam id and a space before the permission level... formatting matters as it is code.

 

I removed it from my Yaml and now the server crashes on start up.

Does anyone know how to get the password to work for the Dedi server using the NEW yaml? Can you post an example of a working yaml please?

 

formatting... you removed the # did you replace it with a space?

 

Did it work for you because it is not working for me

 

I tried both no space, and space, however it's possible the positioning is off though the formatting looks correct. Do you perhaps have an example of a working Yaml?

 

sorry i found elvated was spelled wrong should be elevated

do i keep the {}
cause in orginal it has at end

 

Elevated:
-Id 999999999999 (this is a sample id)
Permission: 9
{}


i added a space after -Id
and a space after Permission: 9

I will restart and try that
