/path/to/instance/ ??? #1120

Closed slitterell closed 4 years ago

I copied and pasted my Game.ini and GameUserSetting.ini to the same folder on a new server /ShooterGame/Config/LinuxServer/ and neither are working. Look at the readme and it says /path/to/instance/config.***. I have no idea what this means. I also don't know why the game.ini and gameusersettings.ini are not working when they previously worked on another server and I haven''t the slightest what it means by /path/to/instance/. Does that mean in that instance folder with ShooterGame folder? or Config/LinuxServer? I can't tell if it just isn't working for me or they have relocated the folder in which it is supposed to be in for arkmanager.

Replace /path/to/instance/config with the path to the instance config

so in my scenario, /etc/arkmanager/instances/config.game.ini file.

I have tried there and it is not loading my game.ini file. Unless "config" relates to the name of the config instead of just "config.game.ini", run it as "nameofinstance.game.ini"

Your Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini belong in ShooterGameServer/Saved/Config/LinuxServer. The ini files specified by arkGameUserSettingsIniFile and arkGameIniFile (which by default have the same basename and path as your instance config) overwrite those files.

Assuming your instance config is /etc/arkmanager/instances/crystal.cfg, then /etc/arkmanager/instances/crystal.GameUserSettings.ini will overwrite ShooterGameServer/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

permissions in Linux are a $%#@ that's all. :) Thank you!
