    Scum Server help

    Want to thank the admins here for contacting me (response via support) and clear that up! The reply was so fast, and the information perfectly specific to fill in what I hadn't understood from the survivalservers wiki on hosting Scum servers. I *think* my server is all perfectly set up now how I wanted it, so thank you again!

    Scum Server help

    Apologies for posting here, but there doesn't appear to be a game category for Scum. After renting the server, I immediately noticed there's no neat browser control panel for the basic settings and the like as with your Ark panel, and this is fine. I was attempting to look up good info sources on how to use the FTP tools specifically to set those myself and where to find Scum-specific files and how to modify them (for loot settings or the like). It seems not all info on the outside web agrees, and I was mostly wondering if there's a good info source to find out. I would tentatively be interested in funding a browser-based setting manager for loot and spawn settings potentially too, but that's far less important! Sticking with SurvivalServers regardless, but I've never done any real FTP editing before and just want to make sure I know the information I'm going on is good before I start. Thank you, and sorry for both posting here and all the silly questions.
  3. Congrats on your server! And welcome to server management. It can take some time to get a good answer for things you need to know (as I've figured out!) but not long ago I was/am in the same boat as you. I've learned a few things that have helped specifically with your issue with the Titan. Just adding the line you've found out about to the ini file doesn't work. Not sure why it doesn't, but doing just that doesn't allow it to be fed. There's a bit of a complicated thing you have to do, which is way more complicated than adding a mod. You'll need to set up custom launch parameters with that line in it, and tell the game it's a custom map while still using the map you want to use (mine is the Island). I hope someone much, much more educated on it helps you or at least that points you in the right direction. (NOTE TO SURVIVAL SERVERS: We'd love AllowRaidDinoFeeding added to your new section if you find time and that is practical!) Second big thing you *need* to know is that even with this line, the Titan will not feed itself and will starve on it's own anyways. After the first restart, I noticed it wasn't eating and nearly panicked before hitting the forums. I found out quickly enough that I had to force feed it to get it to eat (berries worked fine). That means a large berry drop into it's inventory daily and feeding it for a few minutes a day. Miss a full two days and it will probably be gone when you log back in, can't say for sure because I'm not sure how food settings and such effect the titan or what they are on your server. Many, many of these things like the .ini can be done from your control panel without using the FTP I think. Maybe all of them? Also never hesitate to open a ticket if you're stuck *after reading as much as you can from the forums*. The staff at this company have been nothing short of amazing in helping me with a variety of problems I'm sure I caused my server myself. If I can help in any way or link more of what I have to you, just poke me and let me know! Hope this has helped with your Titan!
  4. Boneface is a saint and patron of server owners everywhere. Thankies!
  5. This has been happening for quite some time for me, and may be worth looking into. I blame my mods for it for mine (and still think that's the case) but they more or less seem to have been sorted out, and as of last night my buddy couldn't log into the server. We had several updates last night to the main game though, plus at least one mod update right after he tried. Still want to bring it up in case it IS something in a recent build that is causing privately hosted servers some issues that the devs may not have made public.
  6. Issues loading mods

      Using the FTP to load all my mods on by hand to my new server. I got all my knowledge how to do this from the forums (here, luckily). Hopefully the service here keeps them updated after I do this ^_^ their mod IDs were already loaded in. Wish me luck.

  7. Didn't want to start my own thread if I could find a similar issue, and this appears similar. I have an issue where mods are not obviously loading on my server, which concerns me. I have placed each mod number obtained via the Steam website (in order) in the Mod ID(s) box on the control panel page on your website, seperated by spaced. I've stopped and updated/started the server once but I did just place my order tonight. I am wondering if I've missed a step somewhere as I am not experienced in setting this sort of thing up. Other than that I was wondering if there's any advice out there for taking my non-dedicated single player work and hosting the file on my server? I know it's supposed to be possible, and it will in fact probably be fairly easy to do. But if there's any big mistake I could possibly make it'd be best to know before. Excited to be joining you and thank you for all the dedicated response I see throughout your forums!
