Plugin Support?

[draconb]

I was wondering if this supports the plugins offered now by the new official client? Just getting into SE and finally got the dedicated server working, thanks for your work on this made it pretty easy once I got it setup locally.

[draconb]

FYI for anyone wondering, I was able to get 3 to load up, all 3 were ones created by viktor-ferenczi:

performance-improvements

se-bugfixes

multigrid-projector

I updated the compose to have another line for plugins, but you could just put them in another sub folder if wanted.

      - /mnt/data/docker-volumes/space-engineers/plugins:/appdata/space-engineers/plugins
      - /mnt/data/docker-volumes/space-engineers/instances:/appdata/space-engineers/instances

I then updated the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file to update the path to

 <Plugins>
    <string>Z:\\appdata\\space-engineers\\plugins\\Bugfixes.dll</string>
    <string>Z:\\appdata\\space-engineers\\plugins\\MultigridProjectorDedicated.dll</string>
    <string>Z:\\appdata\\space-engineers\\plugins\\PerformanceImprovements.dll</string>
  </Plugins>

And that appears to have loaded them onto the server properly according to the logs, haven't had time to try it out yet myself.

Hey man, thanks for sharing your findings. That is really good to know i think. I will update the README to include that information.

[draconb]

You could update it automatically similar to how the world gets updated here

sed -i "s=<LoadWorld>.*</LoadWorld>=<LoadWorld>${SAVE_PATH}</LoadWorld>=g" ${CONFIG_PATH}

I noticed that was how it was handled in the other repo:

https://github.com/mmmaxwwwell/space-engineers-dedicated-docker-linux/blob/174d1a8772008b7797bd6dff5e07cfa9e42c135e/entrypoint.bash#L30

[Devidian]

Oh yeha, that might be a good addition, i will have a look into that.

[Devidian]

I have made a new push to the staging branch, maybe you can try it out and give me some feedback, then i will merge those changes into master as well. ( you can just use devidian/spaceengineers:winestaging, as soon as dockerhub has build it - still in progress while i write this)

[Devidian]

New staging release in progress, there was a bug in the closing string tag.

Seems to work.

Great I'll try it out when I spin up a new server soon :)

[draconb]

Yep seems to work and auto add them :)

"@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType" = "windows"

Success! App '298740' already up to date.

However, it does appear to be instantly crashing the server and looping restarting it

Removing the plugins the server loads up fine so not sure whats going on and will do some more testing tomorrow... tried a bunch tonight including changing the plugin path to use the z:\appdata\ etc instead but that didn't work either, even though my other server is working just fine with the path set that way.

[draconb]

@Devidian hmm I can't even get my old server to work after stopping and restarting it, so not sure what broke, there any logs I should be looking at or way to have it log more?

[Devidian]

You are using stable branch when i see that correctly. I only tested staging branch and had no problems. Maybe you try staging image? If thats working i'll test main branch when i have some time by myself.

[draconb]

Omg I'm a dummy, I'd removed the 0Harmony.dll forgetting that its referenced by the other dlls even when its not directly called. So it was failing to find it during reflection and thus crashing.
