Empyrion Scenario
Hello,
could anyone please explain to me the exact method for importing the scenario into my Nitrado server?
And what I need to do to activate it? I am not good with this stuff and I would like to understand how to do it..

You probably need the right admin power to access the files and it would be best if another Nitrado user could reply for you as Ive never used them.

To activate a scenario you just need to edit the dedicated yaml after you have imported scenario folders.

Depends on which scenerio. If its a built in one, then all you have to do is edit the scenerio name in the dedicated.yaml. There is a fileedit tool in the server. Just be very careful, as the file is very touchy, and needs to be done correctly. Could be as easy and editing the scenerio name in the file from "default MP" to one of the others that are built in.

If you are trying to load a BP scenerio, then it can be quite a bit more difficult. Not hard really, just a lot of precise steps.

Which Scenerio are you wanting to run?

Here are the crude steps needed:
1. subscribe to the BP.
2. run it a moment in SP, to make sure its downloaded (may not be required.
3. locate the folder where the BP is loaded.
Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/383120/xxxxxx/ where xxxxxx is a number. you can look into that folder and verify the description,preview.
4. Load FileZilla or other FTP program on your system, so you can upload the scenerio to the server.
5. upload the scenerio.
6. stop the server
7. edit the dedicated.yaml file to tell the server to use that scenerio.
8. start the server and try and get in.

If you need specific help, friend me, or google "empyrion Nitrado dedicated" and you should find a more detailed list.

Hello ZomBeGone
Thank you for all these details, this helps a lot. Just one question about point n°7. What exactly am I supposed to edit in the yaml file, what is the text I should replace with and where is the part to be edited situated in the file? (Sorry that's 3 questions !)
Many thanks for your help

CustomScenario: yyyyyyy (This tells it to use this scenario)

Also important is GameName: mygame (this will be the name of the save in the save file folder. You MUST change names or delete the folder each time you start a new game, so it recreates it.
you will find it in \Emperion\Saves\mygame. This is what the server will use to load the save, so to wipe a server, just rename it, or delete the folder.

There is a fancy settings configuration program that comes with the server, but under certain conditions, I found that it corrupts the dedicated.yaml file. It took me a while to sort it all out. Editing the file manually with the file edit function works fine.
