    Hello !

    I have just got me a dedicated server running on Host Havoc.
    I am not new to file editing but there is some basic things here I do not get right now.
    Some basic easy information from some one skilled would be to much help ! Thanks :D

    Server Setting
    Most of the server normal settings you edit in the ''dedicated.yaml'' and the file is ok to understand.
    But i do get stuck on the (Scenario) option. as defult its set to - Default Multiplayer.
    I made the server start and runn on the settings i do add in the file. But as I understand the server start the Default Multiplayer scenario? Anyway I do not find this scenario in the (Content/Scenario folder.

    Add Sector/Planet
    All the info i read tell me: Locate the sector.yaml : ..:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Sectors ( First of all the Server file's is not on my computer. If I go on file manager on the server and go in folder Content. There is no Folder or file named Sectors.
    Only Place i find a Sector.yaml file is example: Content\Scenarios\Default Akua-Omicron\Sectors\Sector.yaml.

    There is more then one Sector.yaml on my server file manager. Its like its one from eatch Scenario. What Scenario the server will runn I can edit the dedicatedserver.yaml. ? In the Scenario option.


    I understand not to edit orginal names and the Sector.yaml need to mach with the added Playfield folders (names ect ) I will use the tools out there to do more of this. But for now I can even find the right location of the files ect.


    Thanks

    Default Multiplayer doesnt excist anymore. So that setting doesnt work either :)

    Well u its abit complicated.

    but with 8 and the use of the SSG if u dont make a sector.yaml in your scenario folder the SSG will use solarsystemconfig.yaml from RandomPresets folder

    Look to the Invader vs Defender Scenario it gives u the basic how a custom scenario looks like

    So basic, very quick info. This is how I will do it.

    - Edit dedicatedserver.yaml . add all info. + set scenario type ( MyScenario1
    - Make new folder in \Content\Scenarios\MyScenario1 = Copy of Invader VS Defender
    - Edit the files inside MyScenario1
    Download Sector.yaml to my computer
    Edit it with the empyrion softwear so its more easy to create.
    - Upload the new Sector.yaml and add it inntoo the MyScenario1

    Download random planets, edit the playfield with a playfield generator.
    Upload the new Planets, and add it inn to the playfield folder on MyScenario1

    I DO NOT edit orginal planets or rename them. Always add new ones. So Game updates will not crash the server or change it.

    Dedicatedserver.yaml -- Will Start the Server with the info added + Start Scenario MyScenario1

    MyScenario1 - Will then start the Sector.yaml and this file will open the Playfield Folder and find my planets.

    Not sure if im complet lost? or am I on to something here =)

    Yep sounds right :)

    In your own scenario folder u can edit w.e u want. game wont override it since its yours :)
    Just indeed stay away from what comes with the game. It will get override with an update

    Yay! maybe im not so dumb as I think after all =)
    I copy all info from Official Public server. I will just tewak some setting and add more playfields. Basic Planets I will not change
    , just the meteroit drops ect. Just need to find where i do that.

    I have done some server job's and admin running before. But its many years ago. I am getting old.

    A lot of players and my self , are willing to start a new server and with admins that can keep a eye all the time. As We sit day in and out on the Public official server and wait for changes. I dont blame any one. As i Understand they are full off other job and duty's to take care off. but this force us to cope the public server and runn one.
