[linux update to alpha 20]

This worked perfectly for me by the way

[RWG settings in serverconfig.xml - steamcmd install]

Thank you, came here looking for the same thing. We still have ADSL here, so uploading a map is not a option. So I hoped there was a way to configure it server side. 

 

If i find anything i'll be sure to link it here =]

It is an example, not a prescribed path. Edit it and put whatever path you want to use there.

 

I know its an example, its my example i used for my install. Yes, you can put whatever you like after the 'force_install_dir' =]

Sorry if i wasn't clear about that.

Hey all,

 

The official release notes describe the following options for RWG;

New Random Gen Preview tool mix options to support tweaking custom maps to your liking changing many things including:

• Frequency of Towns
• Frequency of Wilderness POI’s
• Frequency of Rivers, Craters, Cracks, and Lakes
• Frequency of Plains, Hills, and Mountains
• Global amount of Randomness

 

Can one set this in the ServerConfig.xml for a dedicated server before starting it. I can't see any settings specifically for this in the new config file. Perhaps this is soley for the GUI? As soon as i start the server up (on a headerless x64 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) it will surely start to build the world right?

 

 

FYI

I installed using the following steamcmd commands and I can tell its the new server config file as the default World Gen Size is at 6144.

Thank you =]

I created an account here so i could get involved as i've been having issues with Linux and obtaining A20 too.

 

I'm trying to install a fresh copy of A20 on x64 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS [Headerless] and i've been having issues too (mostly not working out what to put after the 'app_update 294420' as i've been told a few ways). I hear its best to fresh install than update from A19 to A20.

 

I've tried the following using the switch (-beta latest_experemenal) provided by @Beelzybub above (Thank you!) also shown on the valve site https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/7_Days_to_Die_Dedicated_Server.

 

The following assumes that steamcmd has been installed via APT alongside its 64 bit prereqs (i put at the bottom). It also assumes you want to install to /home/7dtd :]. I'll let you know my findings with the first time run of the app as soon as i get the time. I hope the following works for you @prieshas

 

Dont run steamcmd as root. I do my installs bit by bit instead of using one line at at time though i know this is not as efficient.
