I am running those files right now. They don't have a dedicated server on steam yet, only the client. Download that dedicated server from the provided link and you will be fine.

If any of you log into The Deadlands server and find that the world is falling apart, my contact info, including a number you can text, is available on http://www.thedeadlands.net. I always have my tablet and hotspot with me, so I can normally reboot within a few minutes.

The world fell apart again. I just restarted the server.

I has been a while, mostly because I have been caught up in too many projects, to finish just one of them.
Here is the first of two projects i should have completed this weekend. I should have a third one done next weekend.

Well this one is an expansion to my farm, so Enjoy!

Very very nice! Color me impressed!

Very nice.

In my research to add a script patcher to the game, I found this. These are all the events that your Lua scripts can listen to. Some of them may or may not be functional yet. Hope it helps:

PlayerConnect = new LuaEvent("PlayerConnect", 0);
        PlayerDisconnect = new LuaEvent("PlayerDisconnect", 1);
        PlayerText = new LuaEvent("PlayerText", 2);
        PlayerCommand = new LuaEvent("PlayerCommand", 3);
        PlayerDeath = new LuaEvent("PlayerDeath", 4);
        PlayerEnterChunk = new LuaEvent("PlayerEnterChunk", 5);
        PlayerEnterWorldpart = new LuaEvent("PlayerEnterWorldpart", 6);
        PlayerTerrainFill = new LuaEvent("PlayerTerrainFill", 7);
        PlayerTerrainDestroy = new LuaEvent("PlayerTerrainDestroy", 8);
        PlayerBlockPlace = new LuaEvent("PlayerBlockPlace", 9);
        PlayerBlockDestroy = new LuaEvent("PlayerBlockDestroy", 10);
        PlayerConstructionPlace = new LuaEvent("PlayerConstructionPlace", 11);
        PlayerConstructionRemove = new LuaEvent("PlayerConstructionRemove", 12);
        PlayerConstructionDestroy = new LuaEvent("PlayerConstructionDestroy", 13);
        PlayerObjectPlace = new LuaEvent("PlayerObjectPlace", 14);
        PlayerObjectRemove = new LuaEvent("PlayerObjectRemove", 15);
        PlayerObjectDestroy = new LuaEvent("PlayerObjectDestroy", 16);
        PlayerObjectStatusChange = new LuaEvent("PlayerObjectStatusChange", 17);
        PlayerVegetationPlace = new LuaEvent("PlayerVegetationPlace", 18);
        PlayerVegetationRemove = new LuaEvent("PlayerVegetationRemove", 19);
        PlayerVegetationDestroy = new LuaEvent("PlayerVegetationDestroy", 20);
        PlayerPressKey = new LuaEvent("PlayerPressKey", 21);
        PlayerCraftItem = new LuaEvent("PlayerCraftItem", 22);
        PlayerGroupInvited = new LuaEvent("PlayerGroupInvited", 23);
        PlayerGroupJoin = new LuaEvent("PlayerGroupJoin", 24);
        PlayerGroupLeave = new LuaEvent("PlayerGroupLeave", 25);
        PlayerArmorChange = new LuaEvent("PlayerArmorChange", 26);
        PlayerChangeClothes = new LuaEvent("PlayerChangeClothes", 27);
        PlayerChangePosition = new LuaEvent("PlayerChangePosition", 28);
        PlayerSpawnChange = new LuaEvent("PlayerSpawnChange", 29);
        PlayerGuiInteract = new LuaEvent("PlayerGuiInteract", 30);
        PlayerInventoryChange = new LuaEvent("PlayerInventoryChange", 31);
        PlayerQuickslotChange = new LuaEvent("PlayerQuickslotChange", 32);
        PlayerDamage = new LuaEvent("PlayerDamage", 33);
        PlayerHit = new LuaEvent("PlayerHit", 34);
        PlayerRespawn = new LuaEvent("PlayerRespawn", 35);
        PlayerSpawn = new LuaEvent("PlayerSpawn", 36);
        PlayerConsumeItem = new LuaEvent("PlayerConsumeItem", 37);
        NpcDeath = new LuaEvent("NpcDeath", 38);
        NpcHit = new LuaEvent("NpcHit", 39);
        NpcSpawn = new LuaEvent("NpcSpawn", 40);
        ItemPickup = new LuaEvent("ItemPickup", 41);
        ItemDrop = new LuaEvent("ItemDrop", 42);
        ItemDestroy = new LuaEvent("ItemDestroy", 43);
        SpawnInventoryChange = new LuaEvent("SpawnInventoryChange", 44);
        SpawnPositionChange = new LuaEvent("SpawnPositionChange", 45);
        CreateWorldpart = new LuaEvent("CreateWorldpart", 46);
        WorldChange = new LuaEvent("WorldChange", 47);
        Update = new LuaEvent("Update", 48);

I disabled hive verification. We'll see how that goes.

Since I cannot sleep, I will be starting design on a new Rising World Mods script management system that I talked about a while back. I will continue documenting it here so that fellow scripters and dedicated server hosts can chime in with their thoughts.

The idea is to provide a central repository for scripts where script developers can upload their new creations, and server hosts can subscribe to scripts and have updates automatically published upon server restarts if the host indicates he or she would like the auto-updates. Manual updates to specific scripts can be performed as well. The host will also be sent an email when scripts that they use have been updated.

I am hopeful to have that done by tomorrow evening. It will require the following tasks to be completed:

1. Modification to Server.jar to initialize the patcher. I will post more details about which classes specifically will be modified after I do some research. This will also cause a deployment of a custom server.jar in concert with official updates by the Rising World devs. Custom modifications will be minimal as to speed up the RWM updates after each official release of server.jar. Modifications will also include github logic for auto-patching scripts.

2. Setup of a github repository.

3. Web hook logic in a web portal or forum software that will allow developers to post version controlled scripts and allow hosts to manually download them, rate them, etc. Right now I am looking at Joomla as the portal to use. I have it installed on the proposed site, I just have to write the github hooks and create a proper upload/download and rating interface.

That's it for this weekend. Once that is done I will go back to modifying the areaprotection system, and other scripts.

Doesn't chrome have a built in page translator?

Conversely the /hideareas command will hide the highlighting.

The /showareas command will display the the areas highlighted in a color. Once I have completed the script to allow players to use it on my server, you will be able to use it.

They don't seem to be; they are German.

Maybe the devs just need to install more language packs into the forums? I assume they are used to translate from one language to the other? I could be wrong.

We apparently still have connection issues when there are more than a few people connected. See the last page on this forum: The Deadlands Server (win.thedeadlands.net:30500)

I just hope that since they have released to steam, and more people are running servers, and more people are getting into debugging, decompiling, scripting, and bug reporting, that they don't start seeing us as a burden.

The devs are going to have to address this. This is the same issue we have been having for over a week now and none of the updates have fixed it apparently. Not much I can do. Is this problem happening on other servers?

@Carlzilla and I were just on. I have been able to log into the server ever since this last patch.

I have an idea. I am going to post details in the morning for a community load test if you all don't mind. We can agree on a time when we can get the most players on the server to log connection events, etc. and try and come up with some decent logs for the devs. I will also pull the connection logs from the system if I can.

A server query, in the context that we are discussing, is just a query to a server for specific information over a specific port or ports. In this case the response is in XML format over http. Other servers may send the response in JSON structure, or some other structure and over tcp, udp, or other protocols.
