New to SS hosting! D&L Questions

[Yami 1]

Hey there,

I know this is going to be a bit broad, but I'm hoping the forum community will be able to help out a bit.  I'm looking to set up a server with 3X gathering, taming,and exp with .5 on values for food and water drain.  I FTP'd into the server and edited the game files, I'm just not sure if I did everything correctly.  I used ARK server lines which I assume apply due to the two essentially being one game.  

Can anyone look into my server config/provide assistance on a tutorial/step by step for configuring these settings?  

 

Server is:

107.173.81.126:57816

 

 

Thank you greatly,

Yami

I'm no admin to the site, but this is how i figure out if it has went through or not. So I'mma just put mine here and see if i can help ya too.. I've been with SS for a few years now, server wise..

[serverSettings]

XPMultiplier=3.0

TamingSpeedMultiplier=3.0

HarvestAmountMultiplier=3.0

PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.5

PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.5

 

ok your logged into FTP FileZilla and go through the path of -DNL-Saved-Config-Windowserver-Gameusersettings.ini

 

Right click go for View/edit, Now in the Serversettings at the bottom you add those copy and paste, make sure its on going like the rest and no space anywhere where its not needed, Press save and X out, go to your filezilla and it will ask to upload and so on, accept, now, get out of it and go to your server site, heres how i find out if it took. Right under your FTP settings you will see Gameusersettings.ini, click it and see if the values it came up with is what you put in, if it is, just press start on your server. Though a warning with SS... I wish they would add a way like they did with the gameusersettings on ark, but if you edit the values when they add it to the modify settings button, it will reset what you just put in and you will have to do the FTP over again like that, it happens like that with ark if you change values in the Game.ini that they dont have -hint hint admins ;-P - let me know if i helped at all... just letting you know how i do things myself.

As of right now, I'm not sure if those options are valid. I scoured about to see if I can find more information, but as of right now nothing. A good chunk of this game is pulled from ARK so I'm sure at some point those config values will be baked into the game.

 

I did check your config, and what I can see looks correct (as far as ARK goes), so we'll have to see!

[taylorjay1337 0]

I changed some settings to test out and see what works with that.

[Yami 1]

Actually, after posting this, I was able to get the config to work correctly.  I can also confirm that ark command configs work just as well.  I was able to get my 3x across the board with .5 water and food drain effective and working on the live server.  

 

Thank you guys! 

[taylorjay1337 0]

where did you put them i was trying this and havent seen any changes yet

[Yami 1]

I put this 

 

 

PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.50000

PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.50000

HarvestAmountMultiplier=3.00000

HarvestHealthMultiplier=2.00000

TamingSpeedMultiplier=3.00000

XPMultiplier=3.00000

 

Directly under the [serverSettings] in the FTP.  

 

One question I do have for you guys though, what is the command for perlevelstat multipliers?  Has anyone configured those for DnL yet?  I have the ark ones in but they don't seem to be working as well due to the change of stat order and such.

For set perlevelstat  u need in file Game.ini insert next:

The number in the square-bracket will go through up to 13, where 0-13 corresponds to (where applicable:

Thanks man, I needed this you are a hero. Having issues with my server though. Keeps deleting the .INI server won't update. Will just go back to -- Update when needed -- then i have this Outdated Version - Your server version may be outdated. Not getting any responses on my forum topic or support ticket :/

[DeezGames 28]

Game.ini for D&L is not currently modifiable, unless you've had better luck than I. GameUserSettings.ini is however modifiable, so potential changes to that file that work in ARK, will "sometimes" work in D&L. But your mileage may vary. Expect a lot of restarts and tweaks and hours and hours of your time spent on it if you really want to delve into untested settings changes based on settings from another game.

Either way, good luck to you!

I haven't problems with file Game.ini. All changes in that file work fine.

[Doghead5 0]

i got my to work but had to change the path

 IE "[/script/dnl.shootergamemode]"

[Sara101 2]

thanks Caelestis for that multiplier, i've been trying to figure it out myself and havent gotten that far ^..^ testing it now

[Yami 1]

JK I messed up 

[DeezGames 28]

Oh good deal. I'll have to revisit my attempts to dig there later then. Thanks. =)

[Pat 11]

Yep, you should be able to make changes to both of those files just like ARK

[Yami 1]

Haha, I'm constantly wanting to bring my server down to update, but I know that it is bad for pop to just be down and up and down and up.

It is still not letting get it to where player weight is increasing per point.  I'm trying to do a 20:1 weight/point however it is not changing no matter what I do with the config files it seems. Ugh, just realized, that needs to go into game.ini, not gameusersettings.  That would probably explain my issue...

 

 

 

 

Edit: Just kidding! I need to put it in Game.ini so I'm making that change now and updating server in a few, we'll see how it goes! 

[Yami 1]

Okay, so after putting 

 

 

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=2.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[1]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[2]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[3]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[4]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[5]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[6]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=2.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[8]=2.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[9]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[10]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[12]=1.0

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[13]=3.0

 

in my Game.ini file, I am still unable to get the points per stat level to reflect the changes I've entered.  They're stuck at the base rates.  I know I was on a server previously where the weight when in as 50 per point.  

 

Anyone have any ideas/solutions?

 

My path for it is /DNL/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini <---- that's where I entered the configuration code above. 

 

Ugh, I think DogHead mentioned what I did wrong already.  I had shootergame.shootergamemode, not dnl.shootergamemode. >_<

 

I just brought it down and back up to test it, so we'll see what happens! Fingers crossed! 

[Pat 11]

How'd it go?

[Yami 1]

How'd it go?

 

Swimmingly.  Having those scripts in the game.ini with the dnl.shootergamemode results in pointperlevel changes going just as they did in Ark. 

[Sara101 2]

It worked well for me, but does anyone know if you just copy it over again for the creature multiplier? 

[beardsman 3]

Game.ini is blank for me.  Do I just copy and paste gameusersettings.ini to game.ini then add the perlevelstatsmultipliers?

If your servers Game.ini is blank, please re-save from Modify Server Config tool. Last patch nuked that as well =/

[Yami 1]

My Game.ini was blank prior to inputting those codes and I didn't think anything of it and haven't had any issues haha.  

 

I wish the restart server and save settings didn't wipe the present .ini file with custom settings but I can understand why it does.

well i've noticed that if you stop the server, edit FTP files and start, its fine, or pressing the "save settings and restart" green button doesnt most of the time, but when you modify settings in the yellow tab, save and restart from it, it will do it, though i've had issues to where i HAD to go into modify settings AND change something in FTP and it turns around and says "no, not doing that" and doesnt save zip lmao likely did it in the wrong order or something..

[beardsman 3]

I should have posted an update to my previous question.  I ended up just pasting my dnl.shootergame changes to game.ini even though it was blank.  It seemed to have worked perfectly.

[DeezGames 28]

Thank Doghead5 for that.

 

Does this specific replacement only work for some? or would this replacement be considered a "use this method every time" kind of thing?

[Mike420 0]

Does this specific replacement only work for some? or would this replacement be considered a "use this method every time" kind of thing?

To be honest, I was assuming that because it didn't work for me and because the game.ini is in the DNL folder so it makes sense to me. Not a lot of people are replying on this topic so we will have to see.
