How to spawn in trees and rocks, antlion burrows, etc?

[grimsikk]

This was a basic feature in original stranded, but original stranded is broken and saves don't work.

I switched to this so that I could set up a map and then be able to save the props and progress on building and stuff.

Hi,

There is no easy way to do this, unfortunately. I always did it manually.

First, turn on edit mode... again no easy way to do this.. run the following in your server's console

lua_run SGS.inedit = true

What you will need to do then is spawn the trees and rocks manually using some form of Entity spawn command. ULX has one.

Entities are:

    gms_tree
    gms_tree2
    gms_tree3
    gms_tree4
    gms_tree5
    gms_tree6
    gms_tree7
    gms_ironnode
    gms_stonenode
    gms_coalnode
    gms_silvernode
    gms_naquadahnode
    gms_triniumnode
    gms_goldnode
    gms_mithrilnode
    gms_platinumnode
    npc_vortigaunt
    npc_breen
    npc_kleiner
    gms_antlionspawner

Once you have spawned in what you want where you want them, you will need to run the command to save the entities. The command is as follows:

lua_run SGS_BuildEntityList()

Then turn off Edit mod.

lua_run SGS.inedit = false

and then restart your server and it should load.

Sorry this is so difficult, but again.. it was never intended to be released so I never make it "user friendly" because it always worked for me. :)

Good luck!

Oh wow this is a huge help, I use ulx for my cyberpunk server so that works out.

Will the build entity list command save props and plants that are placed by players as well?

Either way thank you for the quick reply and list of commands.

[zpetty33]

No, it only saves entities that I listed in the first response. You should set up trees and stuff with no other players on, and on a clean server.

If you want to save what player's a placing, you need to use the command sgs_saveall

This will save a file of all props that will reload when the server restarts.

Unfortunately, plants/pets/and chairs are not saved. Everything else is.. including resource boxes and the resources inside of caches.

The server also auto saves player's stuff every so often. This acts as a server crash protection script in case the server crashes, people won't lose all of their stuff. If you want to restart the server and remove everything, you have to go into garrysmod\data\sgstranded\crashrecovery and remove the file from there while your server is offline and then start the server and it'll load with no player props.

Awesome I'll have to try that, but first...for some reason its saying in console that I don't have a bunch of the sgs commands:

Loaded character successfully. Last visited on Tuesday 10/02/18. Welcome Back! Character Saved! souma has joined the server. Unknown command: sgs_refreshspells Unknown command: sgs_refreshspells Unknown command: sgs_refreshoptions Unknown command: sgs_refreshresources Unknown command: sgs_refreshresources Unknown command: sgs_refreshmodelpanel Unknown command: sgs_refreshresources Unknown command: sgs_refreshpmodels Unknown command: sgs_refreshfarming Unknown command: sgs_refreshvc Unknown command: sgs_refreshfarming Unknown command: sgs_refreshfarming Unknown command: sgs_refreshtools

it's also repeatedly spamming this in console:

[ERROR] gamemodes/gmstranded/gamemode/modules/server/sv_bossai.lua:332: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

1. find - [C]:-1
   2. v - gamemodes/gmstranded/gamemode/modules/server/sv_bossai.lua:332
   3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:84

I'd like to add that everything else seems to be working so far despite these 2 random issues.

[zpetty33]

The first is an old bug that is related to the Q menu. Safe to ignore.

The second is interesting as it shouldn't error like that. You can remove the hook from line 327 to line 334 entirely and it will go away, it just won't clean up the manhack gibs.

ah ok. thank you very much for all the help, it really means a lot! I'll be sure to let you know if I need anything else. :) Great game-mode, I'm loving it so far.
