Server Saving Question!


Yami

Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone, 

 

I've got a quick question for you guys!

 

So, when it comes to server saves, I don't want to do incredibly frequent saves because it will result in frequent locking/rubberbanding if I were to do a 15 minute window.  30 minutes seems like a very reasonable timeframe, however is there any way to make it so that they save pre-restart?

 

 

Like for instance, I have the server restart set to 12 hour intervals right now to keep things clean, but it's going to fall that no matter what, the last 30 minutes before restart are a waste essentially.  Aside from someone having to be on to manually save the world, is there a way to save pre-restart through a config line or something?

 

 

Thank you greatly,

Yami

This is something that I'm sure they will have to set up scripts for.

Their ARK servers have a similar feature, where in the last 10 minutes before an automated restart, there are broadcast messages giving notification on the primary ARK server, and at the 2 minute warning, it performs a world save and notifies of such.

D&L however, is still so incredibly new that it will take a bit of time to get such set up, as even though the game is "similar", it is not ARK, so new scripts will likely need to be written for such things.

Even the ARK servers do not give auto restart notice to the cluster servers on the block, and that game has been out for a while, albeit in Early Access still.

So lets give it a bit of time, and I'm sure they'll hook us up with a similar feature to ensure autosaves are performed before an autorestart, and likely even broadcast notifications.

We're working on that. DeezGames is correct that DNL and ARK are very similar, so we should be able to reuse a good chunk of code. Ryan will likely post updates once we have more details to share :)

It has been saving at the 2 minute mark for me. I just wish the MOTD and server messages were larger. If we cannot change the font size can we at least get the server messages like this to show in chat?

The font size for ants issue with the Broadcasts / MotDs appears to be a game issue, not a server issue.

As such, I'm sure it's something on the developers extensive list to fix.

Please direct this and other such suggestions to the Feature Requests thread.

We love seeing lots of activity on there. Locking this one.
