Yes, that's how I verified the data before posting 😛 root@beta:~# 7dtd.sh help updateengine Usage: 7dtd.sh updateengine [--check [--showinternal]] [--experimental | --stable] [--branch BRANCHNAME [--password BRANCHPASSWORD]] [--force] Check for a newer version of engine (aka game) files of 7dtd. If there is a newer version they will be updated by this command. If neither --stable, nor --experimental nor --branch is specified the server will updated to the latest build on the currently installed Steam branch of the game. If --stable is specified the server will be switched to the default public stable Steam branch of the game. If --experimental is specified the server will be switched to the latest_experimental Steam branch of the game. If --branch SOMEBRANCH is specified the server will be switched to the given Steam branch of the game. Additionally if password is required to acess the branch this can be specified with the --password argument. NOTE that --password is also required if you previously switched to a branch that requires a password and want to update to the latest build on that branch now. If --force is specified you are asked if you want to redownload the engine even if there is no new version detected. If --check is specified it will only output the current local and remote build ids and if an update is available. TFP internal branches are only shown if --showinternal is also given. root@beta:~# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rybozor Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Trying to update from A19 to A19.1 using 7dtd.sh updateengine on the public branch, but it's saying the latest is currently from before the copy I even have installed. Quote Engine is already at the newest build on the selected branch "public" (local: 5405736, remote: 4714812). Here's the output I'm getting from the `updateengine --check`: $ sudo 7dtd.sh updateengine --check Installed: Build ID: 5405736 Installed on: 2020-08-24 10:21:07 From branch: public Available branches: Branch | Build ID | Build set on -----------------------+----------+-------------------- latest_experimental | 5298960 | 2020-07-17 10:45:02 public | 4714812 | 2020-03-04 10:43:59 alpha18.4 | 4714812 | 2020-06-04 05:34:37 alpha18.3 | 4601329 | 2020-01-24 10:24:57 alpha18.2 | 4454973 | 2019-12-22 12:23:37 alpha18.1 | 4385749 | 2019-11-15 10:56:57 alpha18.0 | 4317498 | 2019-10-29 03:28:57 alpha17.4 | 3848769 | 2019-06-24 09:21:12 alpha16.4 | 2222523 | 2017-10-27 01:02:48 alpha15.2 | 1642899 | 2017-02-22 02:34:55 alpha14.7 | 1189196 | 2016-06-20 09:45:46 alpha13.8 | 963565 | 2016-03-22 03:56:25 alpha12.5 | 745252 | ? alpha11.6 | 658147 | ? alpha10.4 | 480993 | ? alpha9.3 | 385244 | ? alpha8.8 | 334790 | ?

rybozor Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Nevermind. I ended up manually deleting `/tmp/7dtd-appinfo` and then re-ran updateengine and that seems to have pulled down updated info from steam and it now sees the 19.1 stuff.

spscwby Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, id not please let me know where to post it. I am having trouble generating a random world on my Linux dedicated server. I have an HP ProLiant DL 380 g5 server machine running 2 quad core 5450 Xeon processors with 64GB of RAM and an Integrated ATI ES1000 video chipset. I created an instance using the 7dtd.sh instance create command and started the instance. It starts to generate socket data and it hasn't finished it yet. I know that it should take awhile to generate an 8192k size map, but it has been running for 95 hours now. When it first started, there was quite a bit of activity on each of the cores, but now it seems like it isn't doing much of anything. I am including my config.xml and my current_output_log.txt file. I have not been able to successfully generate a ran world on alpha 19 yet. I would greatly appreciate any help. config.xml current_output_log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started world generation, looks like it ran for a couple of hours, and after that the log just ends. Either it was an external crash, or the process was terminated abruptly. The CPU you are using is similar to mine, but with less cores. Mine will take about 2 and a half hours to make the map. Based on this information, I'd say your server was still generating the map when it was terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy the map folder into the client Worlds folder. /home/sdtd/engine/Data/Worlds Then in the Config you will want to change line 25 from "RWG" to the name of the folder. This is how we've been doing ours since a18 due to the server taking forever to make the maps. This is something that is being worked on, and reminds me I need to go try a few gens in a20.

Sigil_Thane Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm reposting this from a thread that was more based on performance, but I may get a better response here: Quote The Steam forum did mention that 7DTD is heavily dependent on single threaded performance, if I remember correctly. I am running a 12core Threadripper 1920X overclocked to 3.7Ghz (instead of the base 3.5Ghx) with a gob of RAM, but I'm not getting very respectable performance so far (perhaps due to an older video card). Just a thought: Would it be worth while trying to run a 7DTD server instance separate, as well as a client instance on the same system to offload the ...offloadable tasks to different threads on the CPU? ...thus making the game more multi-threaded at the expense of other resources? ...I'm running on Kubuntu 21.04 (Early Adopter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 As far as I know this separation of client and server is already happening in single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonaise Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 On 6/3/2014 at 10:06 PM, Alloc said: Hi there, as it was suggested to me I open a new thread on my management scripts and native Linux server support. This is basically following up on the thread Dedicated Server without hacky workarounds though this is in Linux Bugs where it might be overlooked. I created a full set of management scripts for a Linux based 7dtd server. This allows basic operations like starting/stopping as well as advanced things like a few event hooks. (This also includes native Linux engine files so you do not have to use workarounds like Wine to run 7dtd. Unfortunately these files are 32 Bit only so far but at least they can be run on 64 Bit hosts without any problems.) No longer valid, 7dtd provides "built in" 32 bit and 64 bit Linux support since A14 For the full documentation on the management scripts go to https://7dtd.illy.bz/.

Nathrak Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I may have missed this somewhere somehow, but I am trying to have 2 instances running at the same time on my machine, one with 7 day bloodmoon and one with a daily bloodmoon. I can't seem to find where i can set the daily instance to 1day though. I know I can do this with a local game on my computer, but I was wanting to run both instances on my server that is using Alloc's linux installation scripts.

You may already know this but I just wanted to throw out that you should separate the running ports a bit .. don't put them to close together in sequence. As an example I like to put my servers at least 10 port numbers apart. <property name="ServerPort" value="29243"/> on the second one do <property name="ServerPort" value="29253"/> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalsentry Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Thank you for efforts on this project and sharing with the community. I have this setup on a ubuntu 20.04 server and it works great. I was wondering if there is information that could be shared on restoring from backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloc Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Sorry for the delayed response. Basicalyl there's nothing special about restoring: Copy the folder of the save from the backup to the original location. Either overwriting files or even better delete the active version first to make sure all files will be in a consistent state of the backup. Afterwards only fix up ownership (default: "chown -R sdtd.sdtd <savefolder>"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laila Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Good afternoon. Perhaps this helps somebody. I'm a systems engineer dabbling for the first time into the world of game hosting. Set up two servers for 7dtd on linux. When I set up my 2nd server, I got a SIGILL error and the server wouldn't start no matter what. I tried many configurations, reinstalled steamCMD, tried different operating systems (Linux Redhat 8.5 and Debian 11) and the error persisted.. The only difference between these two servers is that the one that ran without issues is an intel proc and the one with issues is AMD. Finally after reinstalling RHEL 8.5 and reading and looking for answers I found out that the (temporary?) solution was to disable EOS from the config and now it works flawesly on my AMD dedicated server. Hope this helps somebdy with a similar issue as I read somebody was having the same problem trying to run the gameserver under ubuntu server.

The one with issues as both client AND server ON LINUX is AMD Phenom II X4 3400Mhz 4 cores, 4 logicla processes. The problem has to do with the implementation of the EOS crossplatform service. Up to A20.3 the workaround was, for linux dedicated server, to remove EOS from platform.cfg Now in a20.4 removing this line gets you two types of problems: As a server, your server starts but is unable to acquire an IP in the server browser. People are only able to connect via direct ip connection. As a client (steam linux) the game doesn't start, removing the line crossplatform=EOS helps because the game starts but you are unable to join any active games. This doesn't affect the windows game client. I booted this system with a windows 10 hard disk installed steam and the game client and was able to join servers normally. Perhaps it has to do with mono? You probably are able to tell more than I do. If there's anything I can do to help, please message me. Alexia.
