WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Hello guys! I've decided to host a dedicated server so we can start trying and enjoy the multiplayer experience. You can find the server in the list, it's called EXPLORE and the host is Wijkagent Adrie THE BOTTOMLINE IS TO HAVE FUN TOGETHER AND TEST THE GAME! PASSWORD IS HIDDEN IN THIS POST, IT'S 7 LETTERS WHICH ARE BOLD, UNDERLINED. THEY ARE IN THE RULES SECTION. https://discord.gg/a2NxZqG As there is a finite amount of space and people tend to destroy nature we will start with a fresh map every now and then - I will announce this. This will likely be whenever new updates require us Like in Dayz, please don't get too attached to your gear and the stuff you have built, there will be bugs, problems, accidents and the occasional fresh map change. There will be events (pvp? boatrace?) every now and then, also I'm looking for people to do tests with, for example comparing speeds for different sail setups on boats. Server hosted in Germany. Because I can't be on 24/7 policing the server and because there is a finite amount of space there will be a few rules and a password which you can find in this post (Find all bold letters, it's 8 in total!). I hate serverrules and admins as much as you do, yet to keep it fun for everyone they are necessary. Server rules: SPAWN ISLAND BELONGS TO ALL OF US, PLEASE KEEP IT NICE Please put signs at your place! This prevents confusion as to what is yours and what isn't. Don't destroy all trees/crops of a certain type, especially on spawn island, Don't build too close to other people, if you want to do so ask the neighbors first, Don't claim large plots of land, discuss this with me first, Don't do large "terraforming", No stealing, but please don't leave your stuff for grabs, Mild swearing allowed, don't get personal, Explosives: I understand you need these for weapons or to destroy parts of your own buildings since there won't be an annihilator. Please use the appropriate power for the task and don't stockpile too much explosives as you'll end up on my terrorism suspect list PVP only on/around the PVP island. PVP includes, cannons, players etc. Don't shoot INTO the PVP area, also don't shoot OUT of the PVP area. PVP area is fair game, griefing, "terraforming", swearing etc. allowed. Wanna try to stresstest my server with 1000 tnt? Go ahead! Keep it there however. PVP island is the island which is 2 islands east from the spawn islands. I've surrounded it with pirate flags to let you know you're there. Picture of PVP island: This is my server, all rules & decisions I make are final. I intentionally left the rules vague, common sense should prevail. Always remember we are just testing the game! That's it for the rules! I hope to see you all soon!

WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 9, 2017 The server wasn't powerful enough so I'm currently awaiting a CPU upgrade to make things more smooth! Will be back on ASAP! Also, nothing in this world will stay for the moment since saves will go corrupt every few hours/days, so we will be changing worlds regularly. Please tell me if the server crashed and you can't log back on, that means we're gonna have to start a new world. Adrie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 11, 2017 The server is back up with a new map and double the CPU speed! Loading times are already at least 10x faster and the CPU doesn't seem to struggle as much. If there is any problem with the server please send me a private message on the forums and I will check it a few times during the day while at work to fix it for you Because there is now a new map there is no designated PVP island yet, I will pick one as soon as the savefile corruption problem is fixed and we can start building a nice server! Enjoy all! Adrie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 14, 2017 We're back up with a new map! I will be spawning back animals manually on a daily base, yet please don't hunt more than you need Hope to see you all back again! Adrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechniPuffin 2 Posted June 14, 2017 The server sounds like a great way for some fun testing. I'll try joining up there and probably discord in a little bit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, this weekend I will be massively upgrading the server from a 2,4ghz shared CPU vps with 12GB of ram to a fully private dedicated box with our own 4ghz quad core with 32GB of ram. Expect some MAJOR performance increase! I will as always keep you people up to date on when it's ready Adrie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to get a different host because the one where I wanted to order couldn't get what I wanted. Serverspecs now: i7 4770, 3,4ghz 32GB of ram, 240GB SSD. This should definitely be good enough for now I've just done some quick testing and there is no more lag when picking stuff up, it all goes instantly. Will keep an eye out on stability, if it crashes please send me a message in the discord, on the forums or add wijkagentadrie on Steam! Adrie 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Facciolli 3 Posted June 18, 2017 Sent you a PM as it appears the server went down last night (1130pmish EST). Tried this morn (time of this post) nada. However I did see the server in the list of "saved" games but I saw others that were gone. So maybe its the connection across the ocean or some such since I am in the US?

WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 19, 2017 Restarted again! If anyone has any experience with installing remote desktop over webbrowser that would be useful, then I could fix the server from work during my breaks Adrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I would have the skills to monitor a server during my job I'd get a raise And I'm thinking that by making it over webbrowser it might actually be alright, normal RD doesn't work indeed.

Judge-_Dredd_90 6 Posted June 19, 2017 Hm what about RD on your smartphone? All you need is some kind of ticket system where the users can contact you and all you need to do is log on your server and do whatever needs to be done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judge-_Dredd_90 6 Posted June 20, 2017 Or if you are using Windows at your workplace and the pc is connected to the internet you could use the standard rd client of windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 23, 2017 I've been having a look at spawn Island and I'm very impressed! People have been building as a group, have been playing together to build themselves a nice camp. To all of you who participated, well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted June 29, 2017 Hey guys! I'm temporarily shutting the server down until next hotfix/patch, because as it is now it just freezes too often, which leads to disappointment among players. As soon as we can play some playermade scenario's or the servers are fixed I will be back for some coop ylands fun! Adrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
