Overwrite `/Data` directory files #14

Closed EdenCoder closed 5 years ago

EdenCoder commented 6 years ago

I want to enable some of the logic in items.xml; however restarting the server causes /Data to be overwritten.

Thanks in advance

Can you elaborate a bit more? What's the full path to items.xml?

@Dids If I had to guess he's talking about 7dtd-server/7dtd_data/Data/items.xml. Does the steamcmd verification overwrite this file before the game is launched because it detects that items.xml was modified?

Dids commented 5 years ago

Hmm, not sure, but if it does, I'd consider that a bug with the game server itself, because if it's a file that's meant to be edited, validation shouldn't touch those.

As a temporary solution, you could run it with SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_START_MODE=2, which would skip automatic update (and validation).
