Cant get the Serversidemap to work

Mydayyy / Valheim-ServerSideMap

This plugin completely moves the explored map and created pins to the server. As clients explore, they will send their explored areas to the server who will then distribute it to all connected clients. When a client joins, the server will synchronize the currently explored areas to the client. Pins are shared as well but default to false and need to be enabled. When pin sharing is used, all newly created pins are send to the server who saves them along with the explored area.

Hi, so im hosting a server and cant get the mod to work, i have it both server and client side, i tried everything from reinstalling it, changing configs etc. I could use some help. Thanks

Mydayyy commented 8 months ago

Greetings,

can you provide logs of your server and client?

Best Regards Mydayyy

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

LogOutput (3).log LogOutput (2).log These are the logs, hopefully they r helpful.

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

Greetings,

from the logs it looks like the mod is working on the client as well as the server. Can u confirm that it works if you create a second character and join the dedicated server. He should the exploration progress as well as the pins from the main character?

Best Regards Mydayyy

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Hello, i tried with a second character already and it wasnt working. Could it be that its not working because i've admined myself?

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

That should not make any trouble in my opinion. It might also be some kind of a mod conflict - it would be worth to test without any other mods apart from ServerSideMap enabled

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Could be, but my friend has the same modpack and it works for him, he sees me exploring and sees my pings, i just cant see any of his stuff

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

Okay, that clears it up a little and is certainly strange. It means that the mod is working on the serverside correctly, it appears to just fail on your client.

Looking over your client logs again, while I see that ServerSideMap is loaded, it never outputs any event relating to receiving or creating a pin.

Can you doublecheck the ServerSideMap config?

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Checked the config, the sharemap is set on true and the sharepin is share on true aswell. Though as far as i remember the mod did kinda stop working as soon as i interectred with a cartography table, but even on new characters the mod somehow doesnt work. Im not sure anymore.

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Not sure if it helps but saw this in the logs.

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

That is quite alright, it just references whether the hotkeys are configured or not.

Currently I am pondering about reasons that the mod suddenly stopped working, but so far I don't really have any solid idea

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Hm okay, i will be trying out diffrent stuff and will keep you posted if i find a solution

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

I noticed that this isnt getting modified at all?

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

That is the regular save file, it will be modified everytime the server map is saved

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Shoudlnt it be saving everytime we explore new areas/place pings?

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

Negative. It hooks the normal game function which saves the map, that file will always be written out alongside the normal valheim map.

It does keep everything you do in memory tho, but it will only be written to disk when the valheim world is saved

Maffinn commented 7 months ago

Hey i just read your description on github and it says the mod is incompatbile with playfab/crossplay. I would assume thats why it isnt working on my server?

Mydayyy commented 7 months ago

Greetings,

yes, that issue was reported a while ago to me so I documented it. Crossplay/PlayFab was introduced after this mod was written. From an earlier issue: https://github.com/Mydayyy/Valheim-ServerSideMap/issues/47#issuecomment-1426843264

Ah okay, id suggest adding this to the thunderstore page as it wouldve saved me alot of headache :D Is there any way to disable it on a server?

I apologize, I will do that. I added it to the description locally, unfortunately I can only update the page when I release a new version. But with the next release the Known Issues will also be shown on the Thunderstore page.

Starting the server without crossplay used to be fairly straight forwards by omitting the -crossplay from the server args.

Players can now use the parameter ‘-crossplay’ while running Dedicated servers to support crossplay. When using this parameter, the backend will be running Playfab instead of Steamworks. (A ‘Join code’ will appear when you join a Dedicated server supporting crossplay. Players can use this code to join the server. This Join code is regenerated whenever the server is restarted.)

I hope they didnt deprecate the steamwork network stack
