[YLD-8941] I'm immortal in Official MP Server

[[YLD-8941] I'm immortal in Official MP Server]

I had this behavior also on my dedicated server. I was wondering why my buddy was dying so easily only to find out I was immortal. Didn't even notice it until the propeller pack would not fly and I tried to get killed to respawn and try again. Nothing would kill me and the hearts never went down. I did a /killme and that fixed both problems on respawn. Unfortunately we have started a new session since then so I have no data to give. I would get the indicator to eat and that I was cold or hot. Pretty sure my O2 indicator was going down while underwater also. Never took any damage though.

Try enter and put in /unstuck and enter then it will show you some options.

[Can't join own dedicated server]

I had the same issue. Turned out there was a minor update through Steam just when I had left and rejoined to clear some strangeness and the server would not show up. Just had to update the server and I could see it again. I assume version mismatch makes it so you can't see it.

[Can"t flatten a specific area for some reason with shovel]

I have had occasion when I had to remove the ground, pile in new dirt then flatten. Especially if there is rock. Same thing if I put in ground but there is a void left below.

Yes put the paths into the DsConfig.json file.

These 3 lines with your paths or every time it restarts it will start a new game I believe.

I think the SessionDataType being YlandFile tells it to look for a file. SessionData tells it where that file is. Savepath tells it where to save progress (same as SessionData).

 

"SessionDataType" : "YlandFile",
  "SessionData" : "C:\Games\ylands\YlandsDsInstances\JiF-Explore\SessionSave.ylandsgame",
  "SavePath":"C:\Games\ylands\YlandsDsInstances\JiF-Explore\SessionSave.ylandsgame",

 

I use built in Windows File History to back it up regularly. That way if there is corruption or other strange issue I can just shutdown the server right click on the save file and select a previous version. So far it has worked out.

Put the save file info in the DsConfig.json?

{
  "SessionDataType" : "YlandFile",
  "SessionData" : "C:\Games\ylands\YlandsDsInstances\JiF-Explore\SessionSave.ylandsgame",
  "SavePath":"C:\Games\ylands\YlandsDsInstances\JiF-Explore\SessionSave.ylandsgame",
  "nMaxPlayers" : 4,
  "Password" : "XXXXX",
  "Name" : "JiF F.O.G. Explore"
}

 

This should probably be in the dedicated server forum.
