Hi there, it might help if you provide us some information how you currently start your server.
In general you have to do these steps:
Best regards
The problem I am seeing is that there is no instance directory on the desktop. If I look in appdata SpaceEngineersDedicated directory. There is no instances directory only a saves directory. Inside that directory there are the instances not the directory just the name of the instance I created. I tried to copy that into the instances folder on the container, but it did not like that. So I m wondering if perhaps I am creating the instance incorrectly. Or if the game has changed it's structure. If you have any docs I can follow that re a little more detailed. That would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry for all the noob questions. I just learned about this game and I think it is amazing. So I just want to setup a server to enjoy with the family.
If you use the instances (launching dedicated server as admin) it puts them in %ProgramData%\SpaceEngineersDedicated (usually C:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated) instead of your localappdata
Hi @Devidian, I'm having a similar issue as the author of this issue. I followed @draconb's comment about looking in %ProgramData%/SpaceEngineersDedicated/<my world>
but I do not see the plugins
, instances
, or steamcmd
directories. Here's what I see:
/my world
/cache
/content
/downloads
/Mods
/Saves
/Storage
/temp
/Updates
( and some misc. config files)
Context on my setup:
%ProgramData%/SpaceEngineersDedicated/<my world>
Since I cannot find the plugins
, instances
, or steamcmd
directories, I'm not sure how to proceed with setting up the Docker container. The target machine will be a Linux machine running Mint, in case that makes a difference.
Please let me know if there's any more info I can provide to get back on track!
@ethanjevvell You'll want to place the "My World" folder into the instances folder
steamcmd, plugins and instances are ones that will be created on your linux host box and won't exist until you spin up the docker image, or manually create them first. So you can spin it up and let it create them, then stop it and copy the files over to those folders.
Hello,
It appears that the game may have changed where it keeps it's data. Or I am just a noob. Would you be able to provide me with updated instructions on how to setup a server please?
Thanks,
Jake
