Sho'nuff Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Good to know. I like editing in xml format better than txt. Easier to read and see mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Red Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 [QUOTE=Sho'nuff;112071]@Andy Did you remember to convert the Xml back to a txt document before importing back into the UAE?[/QUOTE] Heya, Thanks for the suggestion. I did try it out just in case but as Grim said it didn't make any difference :( Maybe it can't be done just on Server side for Rented Dedicated Servers then?

grimreefer24601 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Right now it seems TFP haven't quite got all the xml stuff loading correctly from the server side. Did you try it on your client? I think it's something TFP are working on as per their poll. The biggest cheats are due to, unfortunately UAE, and the DLL. Honestly, I think UAE gave more people the ability to grief than DLL mod did. I'm sure TFP aren't mad about UAE, but they want to reel in what I've exposed to everyone. It just will take some time. I feel kind of bad for making them work harder on it, but someone would expose it sooner or later, and sooner gives them a chance to fix it before release.

You would likelky have to test using the dedicated server found under tools in Steam. Steam > Library > Tools > 7 Days To Die Dedicated Server Install that, replace the resources.assets from that with the one you downloaded from your hosting company. Then start the dedicated server, then try connecting with your client to localhost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Since a couple of days ago I am having problem with my UAE. Whenever i want to import a changed models_x file the resources.asset gets corrupted and is a 431MB file after overwriting it. This does not happen if i overwrite it without changes or importing the backup models_x file which is the same as the one already in the resources.asset. The models_x.txt files work because I've been using them for quite some time now. any idea what might cause that? Tried rebooting already..

Wsiegel Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 are you using the beta 3 version? have you changed the program you use for editing it? Maybe try re downloading the beta 3 version if you are using that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, I just saw the new Thread Grim made and i downloaded Beta 3. Sadly the problem still exists :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsiegel Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I would guess the problem is not the editor but possibly the way you are editing the file. First, make sure you have the Plug-in button selected. When you import a model file the editor, it may take a while to re-write the entry into the file. Do Not just go to save because it can be still writing. What I do is right after I have selected the file to import, I click away onto some other model file like model_4 if I'm importing model_5. and I wait until the display shows the model_4 data.... then I go back and click on the model_5 to make sure my new model file looks the way I expect it to. if it does.. then I save it. I did this many time at first until I realized that it was still writing when I tried to save the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hated Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks Wsiegel, I found the problem. For some reason the harddrive which had the UAE on ran out of space and had problems saving it as a complete file on another harddrive... Yesterday when i checked this as a reason each harddrive had at least 15 + GB free space :grey: This is just too stupid ... -.- Thanks again though for your help =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsaken Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I may just be doing something wrong or my upload was corrupted because I wasn't watching it overnight, but when I have edited the resources.asset file my MP server fails to load. Is that normal for the current state of the game? I made changes to the models_5 file and the English.txt file by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsiegel Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If you click on the English text file in UAE, can you read it or does it say unknown format? this file can be tricky to edit with the standard text editor because of the way it formats the line breaks.

I uploaded the exact same resources.asset that I use for my single-player game that only added "Santa's Moonshine" back in (albeit with a different name of course). My issue is that my server won't load at all with the modified resources.asset file installed. With the original it loads just fine. For the record: my server is a private server (for now) that I use to build my prefabs companied with a few friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL9000 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Don't dedicated servers have different asset files to regular games? I don't think they're compatible. It should say in the log file that "array was out of bounds" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eagle LXIX Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 HAL9000 is correct. You need to make the change to the resources.assets file for the dedicated server. You can't use the client resources.assets on the dedicated server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can literally see the 50mb/sec internet down our main highway on BOTH sides, but for some reason they never completely ran it down to the little group of homes here in the middle (probably county line issue). It's completely annoying, but nothing I can do about it unless I want to fork out $20,000 USD. I'll move before I do that. The best, internet speed-wise, I can do is 5mb down burst wireless off one of the surrounding mountains here with 1mb up. It's not completely bad, but the price is... heh. I pay almost $100.00 bucks a damn month for this sh*t... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnableScope Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Ever since Alpha 9 it is giving me an error when I edit models_5 by which I get this error when I try to start a game... loading and parsing xml (attribute values cannot contain '<' Line 1112, position 61.)
