Tutorial Windows Stand Alone Dedicated Server Setup( v. Enraged Koala )

No problem. Just figured I would let you know since I've been passing out your link in the IRC this morning.

 

Thanks for the thread. This does help out because if you decide to leave your starbound server up even after you close out of the main game, you wont be able to launch the game again (without going to the steam folder and finding the .exe) because steam says "The game is already running"

Question I do have
Is it possible to have this so you are able to type admin commands through server window, if they even still exist after the latest patch

 

As far as I know, none of the console commands are functioning. I have only owned the game since v. Angry Koala, and the console commands did not work in that version either. When they get the commands back into the server, I will have to see how they want us to interface it, before I could provide you with a, somewhat, useful answer.

 

With enraged koala live, do i just run the batch file to update my server again? Or is there something else im going to have to do?

 

Theoretically. I am just updating now, and will double check. Report back in a bit.

- FYI, watch for the title change of this thread, when I make sure that everything is working correctly.

 

Ok, just updated to Enraged Koala and there were no issues between this and Furious Koala

Just run the batch file, and then copy the files over to your server folder; overwriting the files in the old server folder.

 

Thank you very much.

 

This is by far the easiest server setup I have ever seen for any game, thank you so much and keep up the good work!

 

ERROR: The system was unable to find the specifies registry key or value.

Im running windows 32 bit idk if it matters.

 

Hmmm ... The thing is, the game doesn't actually install. So I had to locate the Steam Uninstall key in the registry, to set the correct location. That's what this bit of code does:

Code:

IF EXIST REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 211820" (
SET Reg.Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 211820
) ELSE (
SET Reg.Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 211820
)
SET Reg.Val=InstallLocation

That looks for the 32 bit version first, and if it finds it, sets the correct folder to where your Steam install, Starbound folder would most likely be. If not, then it sets the 64 bit registry key.

So the real question is: Do you have Starbound installed through Steam?

 

Nothing on this last question?

 

Would this work with the StarryPy wrapper?

 

Yes.

 

I tried to run your .bat script and for some reason it copied my Civilisation V mods to folder "StarboundServer" :/

Guess I'll just copy the files manually...

 

Welp, this guide's way out of date. The first offsite link to a txt is broken, and the list of files to copy from /win32/ has files that are no longer there.

 

Considering the post right above yours was from October 2014, that's no surprise.

Closing.
