Multiple Issues

[Damonmeister]

Hey everyone. So I recently rented an 8 player FTP server through my.gameserver.com. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to FTP. I really need some help properly setting up the config files so that my local save is uploaded correctly to my FTP server, and also so that it shows up properly on the 7DtD server lists, so that when I invite people to play, they can find the server. I have my FTP server config info saved in an .odt and .rtf format if someone is willing to take me aside and teach me the ins and outs.

 

TIA,

 

Damonmeister

You would use an FTP client, like FileZilla for example, to access the server files.

You need to know where the server saves games, you can get that info from the

server host. Then copy your game to that folder.

 

In your serverconfig.xml file on the server you need to match exactly the name, size,

etc. of the local game that you're using. Once you do all that, when you start the

server it should see the game and load it.

 

All that said, every rented server I've seen has a web based control panel that allows

file access. Yours may or may not, but maybe you don't need to mess with FTP.

Beelzybub,

 

In the serverconfig.xml, is it the properties in the General Server Settings that I need to change to match my local save, or the properties in the Gameplay settings? Because I have the properties in the Gameplay settings set to match the changes that the limited walk through that was provided by my.gameservers.com provided in their FAQ.

 

Below is a copy & paste of the current General Server Settings for my server.

The lines that have to match are these:

 

<!-- World -->

<property name="GameWorld" value="match this with your value"/>

<property name="WorldGenSeed" value="match this with your value"/>

<property name="WorldGenSize" value="match this with your value"/>

<property name="GameName" value="match this with your value"/>

Beelzybub,

 

Gotcha. Those are the properties under the Gameplay settings. Tyvm!

 

Sincerely,
