[A19e Nitrogen - UNSTABLE]

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction for some basic info on how to update to experimental builds (ie the new a19b157)? I'm sure this thread has better things to discuss than my noob server problems  I have googled a lot and there is some solid information for getting the servers up and running. But not much when it comes to updating to builds. For example, are you always required to delete the entire app and game files (sounds like overkill for a new build). I'm assuming the process changes when updating from builds to a full alpha release, right? Anyway, thanks for any info, hopefully I can pass on some of my knowledge once I figure it all out.

app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental

Happening now for my a19 b157 

@OhYa Yeah so that didn't successfully update to b157. Trying again with 
 

app_update 294420 -beta "latest_experimental - Unstable build"

I read somewhere you need to enter it as you see it in the list of betas in the game steam library properties area. 

... tried that above. Still didn't work. Outta luck I guess.

app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental

Happening now for my a19 b157 on a Nitrogen v501 random gen map. If you don't hear from me then everything went fine. Not erasing the save game for this as the patch notes didn't have anything to suggest it wouldn't work. 

So far this a19 experience is much nicer than what we went through for a17  Really enjoying the game. Feels a bit more like what I enjoyed about a16 (except the mining helmets are working).

All those trader not appearing (or underground) bugs are related to loading in old worlds, or worlds using the A18 prefablists.

The trader quests seems to then show a marker at 0,0,0 wich is underground.

 

The trader names changed, so A18 world will not load any trader POIs, but still run. 

Thanks @Damocles. I used the v0500 version for the a19 gen. I'll check for a newer version. Are you able to give a recommendation on how to fix it for an existing map? Do I just look at the xml files and try and tweak it to move a trader or insert a new one? Sorry I am new to this. I am happy to observe and keep googling to get a fix... or wait for the next time a build requires a save game wipe.

Cheers for the Nitrogen tool, I have had so much fun with it

Good luck. I have had some people on my server complain that the trader from the beginning quest appears underground (or 'not where I am standing'). Would be good to hear from someone else if they also have that problem. I created a 4K map with one big city and trader next to city... so hoping there is not a glitch happening there.

I feel like people respond a lot quicker here, so.

 

whats the steamcmd command for a19?

I thought it was this, but im still getting a18

app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental-unstable

 

I don't recall putting the '-unstable' bit in. Just `app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental`.
 

That was for a fresh server, first install of a19 so I wasn't trying to update any previous installs etc (if that matters).
