Schelter Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi Everyone, any guides how to update an existing Alpha 16 Server to Alpha 17? Is running these command enough? or did the App ID changed? --- login anonymous (OR login with your Steam account name (not playername)) (IF USING your account: enter your Steam password when asked) force_install_dir ./7daysded app_update 294420 quit --- thanks for advice!

blumse Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 not to sure about linux but on windows you need -beta latest_experimental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zootal Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Can you specify the version (I'm guessing yes). Better question - *how* do you specify the version? app_update 294420 -beta a17e 17e? a17e? a17? a17.0? etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schelter Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 -beta latest_experimental it is! but I can't start it... is says: "./startserver.sh: 40: ./startserver.sh: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution" why? I just changed the Server Name, Password, Diffuculty...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddk4123 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I can start the server and telnet with 127.0.0.1 everthing is OK. My server can be seen on lobby but nobody could join in. Maybe there are some bugs on A17 Linux version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zootal Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 -beta latest_experimental is what I usually use if I'm not after a specific version, I was just curious. Steamcmd will, if you enter an invalid beta version (like -beta bork), it will not complain, it will just download the default version and not tell you that you specified an invalid beta. Anyhow, -beta latest_experimental worked fine as usual. I fired up a server last night. I had no problems at all, I even used my A16 startup script, since the startup script has not changed. I even modified several of the xml files. Three of us spent several hours romping through navezgane, no problems at all. Today we are going to take a shot at random gen.

Skalli Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 It "worked" for me with ("worked" because I can't connect, but no problems with A16): "./steamcmd.sh +login USERNAME_CHANGE_ME +force_install_dir /path/to/install/ +app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental +quit" You will need to enter your password and maybe Steam Auth Code.

InsertDisk2 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 What do the logs say? Do you use Navezgane or Random? My Linux Server currently only runs with Navezgane - with Random Gen, I have the following error: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?94188-Alpha-17-Experimental-B197-bug-reporting-thread&p=872065&viewfull=1#post872065 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morggin Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It "worked" for me with ("worked" because I can't connect, but no problems with A16): "./steamcmd.sh +login USERNAME_CHANGE_ME +force_install_dir /path/to/install/ +app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental +quit" You will need to enter your password and maybe Steam Auth Code. you can use anonymous for this instead of your steam ID if your running a dedicated server. steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/7dayadmin/7days2die +app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental +exit I also take an extra step to run mine in a tmux session. Just install the tmux app with "apt get install tmux" (tmux is similar to screen only more robust) tmux new -d -s 7d2d "./startserver.sh -configfile=serverconfig.xml" to enter the session do "tmux attach -t 7d2d" to exit the session without killing is do "Ctrl + B" followd by "D" to detach.

If your using LGSM backup then replace your sdtdserver.xml by doing "cp serverconfig.xml sdtdserver.xml" or "ln -s serverconfig.xml sdtdserver.xml" (latter just creates a symbolic link to the serverconfig.xml with an alias of sdtdserver.xml) NOTE: the serverconfig.xml is a bit diffrent between A16 and A17, specificly the "Rand Gen" keyword has changed to "RWG". Please also make sure to disable telnet if you don't change the password on it. I had a Chines hacker attempting to mess with my telnet. I suspect it's because they now know that by default it's ON with NO PASSWORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
