A new update is now available, introducing seasons and more!

    It is complaining about an error in your definition.xml for the SunnyScript. Each lua script that isn't included in other lua scripts (a standalone script to be loaded by the server) must have a definition.xml file so that the server knows how to load it. Can you post your definition.xml file for the SunnyScript?


    This is an example of how one should look:


    Code
    <Lua-Script>
    <Name>AreaProtection</Name>
    <Description>A script used to define and protect areas</Description>
    <File>areapro.lua</File>

    </Lua-Script>

    As I was trying to test my connections and logs from another bug, I noticed that I suddenly showed up as "Derik" in the player list. My real name is "Derik" but my steam name is Absalom, as is my player profile name.



    And actually, my steam name at the moment is Fishman. Not sure where it got "Derik" unless the first name is being pulled from the steam info instead of the player name or whatever it is. Not sure how you all obtain the player's name and store it in the DB.

    Still won't show up on the server list with those other 3 servers there. The log says that it connected to the hive, but that's where it ended:


    Okay I have some log files. The log is from the server, and the info is from my client. I lost connection, but this time I was still in the world and everything just stopped responding. I quit and then went back into the server list and I see 3 other servers there but none of mine. That seems like it isn't a coincidence and maybe there was something wrong between the hive and the server when new servers come online? I don't know, I am just guessing. Attached are the logs.


    Actually, I think the info.txt was from an hour ago. The newest one just have "#" on the first line, and that was it.

    Did the port range change since the server list has been working? I mean, did you add another port to the end of the range? I still cannot connect to my servers. I see the player count, 4 on my test server and 1 on my main server. It times out every time for me.


    Oh I didn't see your post about a new log. I will get them now. I will have to wait a couple hours when more people are on. I just kicked them off and everything is fine. Once I get 1 person on, I start having connection issues.

    I think for one game server brought no TCAdmin. I use on my Server Webadmin and that is all ;D Webadmin is for free and easy to way ;D


    Do you mean Webmin? (http://www.webmin.com/) If so, that's a web administration panel for Unix/Linux. What if he wants to host from Windows? Unless I am mistaken, TCAdmin usually runs on a separate server as a hub where game control panels are created. Then those panels communicate to virtual or dedicated servers where those games are actually hosted (usually virtual servers). This makes dynamic game server and game server control panel creation a breeze, once you have it set up. Set up is not for the inexperienced. I have only attempted it once, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to it. It costs $15 (on the low end) per month to use TCAdmin.


    If it is webmin you are talking about, that could work on a linux box, with some customization (simplification) of the web panel in webmin. I just hope that they don't start looking to use EasyAntiCheat as a cheat monitor. It's a good product for windows, but they don't support any other platform and have no plans to. It also won't run under Wine. But that's a different topic.

    I never got TCAdmin set up on my server, and they charge a fee per month to use. I just run everything through remote desktop from my tablet. I use FireDaemon Pro, windows scheduler (for backups and to start FireDaemon Pro), and through batch scripts.


    There is a steam app ID for Rising World, but not for the dedicated server client. That would be nice to be able to install updated servers via steamcmd.

    i connected a few times in the last hour,however after running around for a bit,i fell into the abyss and couldn't get back on solid land to continue playing.will try again in a few.


    Try pressing F2 to fly when you fall.


    Nothing really suspicious in the log files.. it appears the server was running out of sync for some players towards the end.
    About the players who connected and instantly disconnected: Perhaps they don't have downloaded the latest bugfix yet?
    Only thing I can see in the log files: You should remove the output from the area protection script "New chunk: ...", especially frequent outputs (and the new chunk happens quite often, especially when there are several players online) slow down the server. But I doubt this is related to the initial problem...


    Yeah, I forgot to remove the debug print statements. I thought about removing them after I had to fish through thousands of lines of areaprotection. lol. They are gone now.

    I don't know if it was coincidence, or just because there aren't as many players on yet, but I increased the server's heap size to 2048, even though it was only using around 250 MB of the 1024 allocated, and it seems a lot more stable now. We will see.


    ... Still getting lots of connection errors. I guess it was just a fluke that I was able to connect. lol.

    It's a known bug, falling through the world. Press F2 while falling to fly. My servers are listed, but there is currently a bug that causes some connection issues.

    Tried rebooting the servers, getting connection time-outs or connection error still.


    Here's the tail end of the server log on my last connect:


    There is definitely a problem with the AreaProtection script. When the server reboots, all rights are removed. I am going to investigate, but if you have had an area defined and don't have the ability to modify your area, please let me know. I will go through and assign folks to areas that I know. I labeled the areas with your player name, so that should be easy.
