Here's a Startingpoint:

It works but Im not really sure if all the commands are supported via commandline, so you'll most likely need to edit the ServerHostSettings.json manually after install..

looks like you only copy and paste; you use startup flags, which are not used with v-rising. Also -nographics -batchmode is not supported on windows. This is normally only for Linux to run a headless server

[mutschler]

Well... as i said... starting Point ;)

[MADDMAXKZ]

says server is running showing up on steam servers but i can not join my server or anything

[mutschler]

Default Ports are 9876 and 9877 i think, the Port command line Argument doesn't seem to work

[MADDMAXKZ]

so how do i make this work for my server? if i can not join it

[tiweb442]

i can confirme that egg working fine as a start i can connect to the server fine

[tiweb442]

server config are inside /home/container/VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings ServerGameSettings.json and ServerHostSettings.json

[gOOvER]

i can confirme that egg working fine as a start i can connect to the server fine

but as i wrote; there are a lot of Flags, which are not supported.

Map the Ports from VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json in Pterodactyl

[mutschler]

i can confirme that egg working fine as a start i can connect to the server fine

but as i wrote; there are a lot of Flags, which are not supported.

what are "a lot of Flags"? afaik there are two flags which are still in there because of the egg i used as a template (-nographics -batchmode) the documentation you linked says: "Some settings can be overwritten by command line parameters. Below is a list of some of the parameters that can be used." but doesn't state anything more about that...

[cetiusrex]

Hello, I have a working egg based on this image: "quay.io\/parkervcp\/pterodactyl-images:debian_wine-5",

The problem I am having with making this work 100% is that the variable parser isn't replacing the variables in the default ServerHostSettings.json, it replaces it in test files I have made, but not in the default location.

The code I'm using for the variable parser is here:

"config": {
        "files": "{\r\n    \"VRisingServer_Data\/StreamingAssets\/Settings\/ServerHostSettings.json\": {\r\n        \"parser\": \"json\",\r\n        \"find\": {\r\n            \"Port\": \"{{server.build.default.port}}\",\r\n            \"QueryPort\": \"{{server.build.env.QUERY_PORT}}\",\r\n            \"GameSettingsPreset\": \"{{server.build.env.SERVER_TYPE}}\"\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}",
        "startup": "{\r\n    \"done\": \"Streamed scene with\"\r\n}",
        "logs": "{}",
        "stop": "^C"
    },

When I use the above code the server crashes and won't start, even if I manually edit the ServerHostSettings.json file.

Any insight or suggestions would be welcome.

[mutschler]

Somehow the file has invalid characters in there... tried the same and cant get past invalid character 'ï' looking for beginning of value error message from wings :(

[cetiusrex]

That's the error I'm getting, but can't figure out where it's coming from. When I pull the file down and examine it, I don't see any invalid characters.

I've run it through a json lint as well and no errors were shown.

[Roncarlos]

Maybe that's due to some encoding issues.

[cetiusrex]

I did find an issue, when you make a change to the ServerHostSettings.json before the server has a first successful run it crashes and doesn't work again until you reinstall it. If however, you run the server fully first, then run your changes it works fine afterwards and can be modified over and over again.

The way I tested this was to write a shell script to use sed to replace the values in the json file. I then created a server with ./configparse.sh -p {{SERVER_PORT}} -q {{QUERY_PORT}} -n "{{SERVER_NAME}}" -t {{SERVER_TYPE}} & wine /home/container/VRisingServer.exe for the startup command. I tested by having the script run right from the beginning of a new run. This failed to run. I then started a new server, with only wine /home/container/VRisingServer.exe it started without any unusual errors. Then I changed the startup to the previous command and restarted, I did this a few times with changes to the config json. All worked. I did the above two tests a few times to confirm.

I'm not sure why this is happening, or how to fix it. Hope it helps understand what's going on. :)

can't confirm. The Server runs fine on wine in my egg. Only there is a bug in-persistentDataPath.

What the hell is configparse.sh? You can parse config in the egg itself

[gOOvER]

as a tip ;) Check EoL ;)

[MADDMAXKZ]

got the Egg to work but... when i try to edit settings like loot or guildsize they dont transfer to game

[cetiusrex]

can't confirm. The Server runs fine on wine in my egg. Only there is a bug in-persistentDataPath.

What the hell is configparse.sh? You can parse config in the egg itself

Can you describe or show how you got the parsing to work? I have yet to get that part to work right, so I wrote my own parsing script to test various options, which is what configparse.sh is.

The egg I have works fine as I described, as long as you don't use any config parsing. Any insight into how to make it work would be appreciated.

@cetiusrex https://pterodactyl.io/community/config/eggs/creating_a_custom_egg.html#configuration-files

[cetiusrex]

@gOOvER I've read that many times. The JSON I have should work, but it crashes the server when I run it. For informational purposes here's my JSON for the parser:

{
    "VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json": {
        "parser": "json",
        "find": {
            "Port": "{{server.build.default.port}}",
            "QueryPort": "{{server.build.env.QUERY_PORT}}",
            "GameSettingsPreset": "\"{{server.build.env.SERVER_TYPE}}\""
        }
    }
}

I have also validated it through a JSON lint test.

[lilkingjr1]

@cetiusrex The JSON parser you're using for the Configuration Files assumes all environment variables are Strings and prints them to the file with enclosing " quotations.

So, in your example, "QueryPort" would be printed as:

"QueryPort": "12345"

...and "GameSettingsPreset" would be printed as:

"GameSettingsPreset": ""My server type""

With this ⬆ being invald JSON presented to the game server.

Not sure if this relates to your issue, but I thought I'd point it out regardless. You may get better mileage with the File parser, at least until the JSON parser becomes more feature complete with support for data types other than Strings. Or, you could remove the added quotations surrounding SERVER_TYPE and just hope the server is okay with the port being presented as a String.

[ImUrX]

Did anyone have issues with the server showing in the public list?

[MADDMAXKZ]

Did anyone have issues with the server showing in the public list?

dont show up in list only shows up on lists if popular which is stupid

[szentigrad3]

can anyone post their working egg please

can anyone post their working egg please

there is no public egg yet.

Yes I can confirm that. I use xvfb-run wine /home/container/VRisingServer.exe as start up command at the first time, it works successfully. And I tried to edit ServerHostSettings.json it through the Pterodactyl panel, it failed to start up.

Then I restalled the server, download ServerHostSettings.json through Pterodactyl panel, open it with VSCode, and I found it's an UTF-8 BOM encoding file, so I edited it in VSCode, uploaded to VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ and it worked successfully.

[killertobyd]

@Nanako0129 would it be possible for you to insert your egg here? would be super nice :D

[kapatheus]

Here is my egg that I customised for a few customers. If anyone wants to try: https://github.com/kapatheus/egg-v-rising This is nothing special and hopefully a better one will become available one day, but at least it works.

works great just have to get use to changing the setting in save data and not the regular data

Yes, it is recommended to change, that's why I did it. I don't know if the setttings can otherwise be lost in future updates if they have been modified.

[GStefanowich]

@kapatheus I would like to point out though that your README.md says to use ports 9976 and 9977, but the default ports in the ServerHostSettings.json are 9876 and 9877. Tripped me up for a minute.

Yeah, there was a mistake, it has already been corrected

[GameServersHub]

Here is my egg that I customised for a few customers. If anyone wants to try: https://github.com/kapatheus/egg-v-rising This is nothing special and hopefully a better one will become available one day, but at least it works.

Some of the settings break such as the boolean settings "true/false" since they are set to string anytime you change the settings via panel it converts it to a "string" and prevents it from loading correctly.

I just updated the egg, it fixes loss of saved settings on update/reinstall. I also updated descriptions and some input rules. True/false work for me now and there are some problems with boolean. See https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/issues/4087

[Nanako0129]

@Nanako0129 would it be possible for you to insert your egg here? would be super nice :D

@killertobyd I'm using the one that mutschler provides, and I modify the variable parser which is followed from cetiusrex. But the side effects are, I have to download ServerHostSettings.json, edit it with VSCode, and upload, so that the server would not fail to start up.

But hopefully, thanks for kapatheus provide the egg file! Such a great community!

[GStefanowich]

Looks like V Rising also falls victim to this 'Bug (?)' https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/issues/3841 and causes issues 'Continuing' (Continue Game from the main menu) on a Server that's running on a secondary interface.

[XardasDark]

Egg was merged. Issue can be closed

^^C immediately kills the server not giving it a chance to save.

Yes, because Pterodactyl have a Bug with stopcmd and noone fix it. ^C is the normal, but dont work anymore

Yes, because Pterodactyl have a Bug with stopcmd and noone fix it. ^C is the normal, but dont work anymore

okay, I understand, I have a question, do you think it is possible to merge 2 or more servers at the same time?

For example having the same backup on several servers to be able to make clusters of them
