Oh bloody hell I mixed up gameworld and gamename. Right in front of me. TYVM for pointing out something so obvious, I totally missed it.

I had to add this to startserver.sh to get it to work:'
CONFIGFILE=serverconfig.xml
And I just use the serverconfig.xml in the server root directory. That works for me.

To make a long story short, I added these two lines to my startup script, and it hasn't crashed since:
ulimit -n 10240
TERM=xterm
I can give an argument for either of them causing the problem. I haven't yet had a chance to see which one might have fixed it. I know unity gets upset if the var TERM isn't to it's liking, and I've also seen weird things when file handles are exhausted, though that is quite rare. I'll run like this for a while to ensure it really is stable, and then take them away one at a time to see which was magic.

I doubt the problem is Slackware, I've used it for many many years, and it's the only distro I've run my 7d servers on. Up until now they have been rock solid. I'll generate another new world and run until it crashes, and upload the full log. I've seen people complaining about this message related to unity, but not specifically for 7D2D. And I notice the last line is *always* "#23 0x0000004218cb60 in EntityFactory:LoadPrefabs (EntityClass,bool) ", indicating some relation to prefabs. I'm wondering if there is a bad prefab triggering this?

I have returned to A19 after a prolonged absence. Clean install of the dedicated server on Linux, A19.5. Slackware 15, 5.10.32 kernel. 142GB storage available on SSD, server uses about 4GB out of 32 GB ram. The same box I've always run 7D and other servers on. Yes I verified/reinstalled the server. No mods. Vanilla world.
I am having a consistent server crashing problem. When any client joins and starts to run around, the server will crash within 5-10 minutes. The error message is always the same. I'll gather logs and post them later, I still have a few tests to run before I give up. For now I'm asking if anyone else has seen this or has any input:

I'm a Linux guy, so I won't be getting it ever.
I abandoned Winbloze years ago, before Windows 8 came out. I'm a software engineer, yet there is *nothing I need windows for. Linux does it all. Gaming, office work, software dev, website, database, you name it. When I switched to Linux, 95% of my frustration with my operating system went away. Windows really is that bad.
Several years ago I switched my daughter from Windows to Linux. And she got mad at me! Why? "Dad, this is amazing, my computer doesn't crash anymore and is so much faster. I'm mad at you for not doing this sooner".

Exploring the hub cities with my daughter. We have logged many hundreds of hours, I'm sitting at 2342 hours played. We used to build a house at the top of the cliffs that usually bordered at least on side of these cities, and would risk running into the city to loot and explore. We would quietly sneak down the street so as not to attract attention, or hole up in an apartment building overnight in the hopes they would not break through to us. Or run from dogs, not always successfully. Fun times! I dearly miss the hub city, we had the most amount of fun exploring those.
One of my white boards is covered with a picture she drew about our adventures with minibikes. It's several years old, but I don't have the heart to erase it. You can see the hub city in the background. I had driven my minibike off of a cliff and could not find it. It was embedded into the cliff face on the other side of the chasm. Fun Times!

Ergh - and how i can create smaller worlds with nitrogen?
...DX
You can't. Nitrogen has a built in 4K minimum size limit and you can't over ride it. No matter what you enter for map size, it will be at least 4K. I'd be happy if Damocles would lower that, but I'm not sure what kind of restructuring he would have to do to his code or what kind of problems it would cause.

Sounds like you put it into the main Data folder and overwrote stuff, rather than the mods folder.
Yep, you have to start a new world. No idea why, but I tested it myself and had to do that.
It looks like it's the player profile that has this in it. When a player joins the server, it creates their player files and allocates space for their backpack. I don't know if that can be fixed, haven't had time to dissect the player files. I deleted my player files, found in Player/*.map/ttp. When I did and joined server, the 96 slots all work. It wipes the players progress but at least does not wipe the entire world. Would be interested to hear if anyone else can confirm this. Look in the Player directory for the player files, and rename/delete the players files, and rejoin the server. Their status/progress resets, but now they have full usage of all 96 slots.

That's actually a problem with vanilla. If you added it after starting a save, it won't "store" the new backpack size. It was a problem in A18 as well
Is there a workaround? Do you have to start a new world?
I have the 96 slot backpack, and if I have anything crafting/scrapping, it will use the first 60 slots, but not the last 36. It insists the inventory is full. I started the world with a 60 slot backpack in place.
And if I do start a new world with a 96 slot backpack (not that i would cause this 96 slot backpack is bloody awesome) and downgrade to a 60 slot backpack, will that break anything?

Has anyone succeeded in adding ravenhearst PIOs to Nitrogen? The prefab list is for 5.5.3, and those prefabs are no longer available for download. Is there a more current prefablist, or does anyone know where the older prefabs can be found? Same with Darkness Falls, prefab list for Nitrogen is out of date.
Edit: I gave up on ravenhearst. I did some parsing of the Darkness Falls files, and it looks like they draw heavily on compopack. In the end it wasn't worth the time to hack custom POIs into a Nitrogen map without the mod itself - too time consuming.

Today I played around with Nitrogen and compopack 34, generating 8k, 10k, 12k, 14k and 16k worlds, all with the same settings. Few cities, mega sized. Mostly flat. I first tried it with a lot of mega sized cities, and the 16k map maxed out memory usage and crashed. I don't have enough memory in the box to run that kind of map. Soo I used few megasized cities. This is the memory the server and the client consume:
16K
Server memory: 27GB
Client memory: 29GB
14K
Server memory: 19GB
Client memory: 22GB
12K
Server memory: 17GB
Client memory: 19GB
10K
Server memory: 14GB
Client memory: 14GB
8K
Server memory: 8GB
Client memory: 13
8K with lots of mega sized cities
Server memory: 11
Client memory: 16
Note that after the initial load, both the server and client will drop memory usage by a few GB. This is unfortunate, because systems with borderline memory that might have been able to run the map, will crash on the load because they can't handle the peak. A 10K map runs with 14GB ram, but might peak at 17GB or so to load, crashing clients with only 16GB ram.
Note that the memory used by the map depends on the content of the map. Lots of stuff equals more memory. Boring vanilla maps don't use as much memory. Fully loaded 16K maps use more than 32GB and while they don't really require a beast of a machine to run on, you do need a lot of memory.
All of this was run under Slackware 14.2+, 5.4.25 kernel, 32GB ram. Server has a GT710, client has RTX2600. Both have Ryzen <I forget which> 16 virtual cores. 3 SSDs in each box.

well, it does work under linux if launched from a terminal, from that folder. from a filemanager, nope.
If you are using Thunar, it is by design. The Thunar devs, in their infinite wisdom, disabled by default the running of scripts. Look here: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings. Look for the setting /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default. I did this to enable it:
xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default --create --type bool --set true
Then you can run Nitrogen from the filemanager. YMMV...works for me

I am also getting this error after generating a new map. I'm not using any re-used saves or mods. Any ideas?
I suspect a bad map generation. I've been running Nitrogen maps on my server for a long time, and from time to time I do get buggy, even weird, maps that are not usable. I just delete it, generate another map, and eventually I get a good stable error-free map.

The client has a memory leak, but the server as far as I know does not. I'm currently running a 12K map, and it runs 24/7, day after day, with no memory issues. If your 8K map is using 24GB and then crashing on the server, you probably have a bad map. I've been running 7D2D servers for years, and Nitrogen maps for a long time, and I've never seen a memory leak on the server. OTOH, like I said the client has a memory leak and has since A16 or A17.

I generated a 2K map with Nitrogen and when I went to the game it was a 4k map. currently playing that world.
Nitrogen will over ride any settings lower than 4K. You tell it 2K, and it will over ride it and make 4K.
Hey, Damocles! Is it possible for you to remove the minimum map size limit so we can make smaller maps? I know it might cause problems in the map, but inquiring minds want to play....

I'm finding that vehicles and trees respawn quite nicely, but boulders do not. Could some other modlet be over riding this one?

The program itself will run under Wine, but installing modlets chokes on a dot.net svn checkout compatibility problem. I might look into that if I have a chance, but I suspect some call related to svn access is not yet implemented on the wine side.
So I tried installing a mod, Taza's Grave. It would not accept the directory for my current 7D2D install, I enter the directory and it just ignores it (in retrospect, it probably did not recognize my existing install because it's the LINUX version of 7D2D and I'm pretty sure it's looking for the Windows version). I had to select Download From Steam. This, however, worked. It appears to use steamcmd or the windows version, whatever that is. It updated steamcmd and then downloaded 7D2D from Steam. And then I realized that it downloads the *Windows* version of 7D2D LOL, so at this point I think I just hit a dead end.
My guess is that this would have to be written to specifically include Linux compatibility before we could use it under Linux. If it wasn't for the dot.net dependency, it might be an easy port, but to make it run natively under Linux you pretty much have to get rid of all of the Windows specific calls. And that requires some good Linux know-how and a butt-ton of time and effort...at this point it's probably not worth the effort.

Sorry for the delay. I am not sure if it will work with Wine. It makes assumptions based on path though, and I'm not very familiar with wine.
<snip>...
Wine emulates the letter-drive format that Windows uses, so that alone would not stop it. Hard coded paths starting with c:\ work just fine. The biggest deal killer I've run into tends to be dot.net framework feature usage, I think there are still some obscure incompatibilities.
I'll give it a shot with Wine and let you know.

Sorry if this has been asked before....does this work with Linux, or at least with Wine?

Is there any trick to getting this to work on a linux client? I got the server to startup OK, but when I start the client, before I can create/join a world or server, I get a flood of NRE in the console.
I'm assuming you copy the files in the archive over the existing files in the Data directory, and copy the Mods directory into the ...steamapps/common/7 Days To Die directory?

Dedicated server won't generate world: Error starting dedicated server: GameWorld "VomitingSpleens" not found!

Depends on the settings. Generally speaking, changing a setting doesn't cause a new world to generate, but you might not see the setting until you do actually generate a new world. What settings are you thinking of changing?
