torch plugin is in the description, and use chat commands for help, so you'll have to run torch DS app to get the plugin working

Yeah i figured as much too, but i cant find the other part of it. No damn instructions anywhere. Where is the other part of it? :/

I believe it requires both a torch plugin and this mod. The torch plugin implements the functionality. The mod provides the blocks. That said, I was never able to get it to work. Apparently some people have, so it must be my problem.

How do you actually use this? I downloaded the file, dragged it to Plugins and started the server. Its been loaded by it, but when i enter the game i cant use the commands, find the blocks or do anything with it.

Hi Gauge, I got it to work! Thnx!

Hi Shark. You probably want to use encampment mode for this since standard is entirely dependent on players.

You will need to change the allowed grids from Static only to all grids. this should be doable with a relatively easy hack.

In Core.cs line 51, 65 and 82 i am managing grid creation and removal. i have checks to ignore non-static grids and only deal with static grids. if you remove the static check and just let all grids count it should work the way you want.

Hi there! cool mod! I have a question though. I am working on a RTS scenario and want to use this mod, but i need to remove the caracter dependancy for controlling. Because its and RTS, the grids are not piloted and now nothing happens when a grid enters a point. What do i need to change in the script to remedy this? Tnx!

I would like to know if you authorize me to make a translated version of this mod into Brazilian Portuguese, and give credit and tagging to the authors and a link to the original mod.
I would like to use it on my server in Brazil,

I do believe so yes. I recall working with someone to make it so.

is that mod nexus compatible?

I think it's local time of the server

The time that the mod uses as a UTC reference point, is it UTC+3 or -3, or does it use the local time of the server that is currently running?

There is not a setting for that.

Is there a setting that limits activation when there is X number of players online and does not activate the event if there is a smaller number of players?

Thank you for the reports. I am not sure when I will be able to get to this issue but i will get it addressed eventually.

Yeah, when I try to use this it just gets stuck at -142% no matter who or what is in the zone regardless of settings.

This isn't working for me. Appears that communication between client and server is not completely functional. Changes made to the koth block do not persist if you log off and back on. Basically same thing @Tharsis said below.

And how do I set it up and where so that no one destroys it for me?

Hi there. How edit message from this : "on N/A under attack...." or where, thx a lot

Can you give us an update in the current state of the mod and when your team plan on updating it? In it's current state it doesn't seem to work on our torch server.Setting are only updating client side (from what I can tell)

How do we stop it from posting in the chat, each time someone scores points/rewards?

Could you place multiple "hills”?

I would like to know if its possible to get space credits to spawn in the container, Thanks!

haha steam only

The link to the Torch plugin no longer works (at least on my end)

I don't get many folks playing on the server during the same hours. Is there anyway to extend this mod to interact with NPC mods like Orks or Reavers (Modular Encounters) ? My thought was to create PVE capture zones... Maybe start my players out in a safe area like the earthlike and moon, but make capture points for MES on the other planets. Kind of like a PVE campaign mode almost?

When I set the opacity of the sphere to 0 alpha, it never stays like that. It always reverts back to 1 alpha upon world-save & reload, like 1 is the minimum allowable alpha instead of 0. And at 1 alpha, the sphere looks really strange through cockpit glass & safezones.

Okay. Then we'll go ahead with the grid method. Thanks for the help and quick responses!

Ok, then its not going to work on Xbox.

if the scripts are client side, they don't work on xbox as the platform doesn't allow scripts to run from client, only server side

That would be fantastic, thanks! We can test it and if it doesn't work, we'll just go ahead with a grid point capture system.

I could publish it on mod.io but i have no way to verify that it works.

Hi! This mod looks very cool and seems to work great. I'm wondering if theres any mod.io version for this, it would be an amazing addition to a cross-platform sever I'm working on.

Hello! Similar questoin as Blackwater. Is there any configuration to prevent a specific faction from capturing? Npc factions are capturing and thus spawning free loot in the box.

I'm currently still having the same issue as Darth Mord.

@Authors: Do you guys have a Discord? 🤩

Is the Koth Block's conveyor port used for anything?

Could you explain capture and drain rates?

Is there a way to prevent a player from activating a safezone in the KotH area, or prevent grids inside a safezone from gaining points?

@gauge

I recently got some logs from one of my staff members who was getting the "Error Loading World" message in single player.

My discord is: Darth Mord#7178

Unfortunately, I cannot. I had to rebuild my server due to an unexpected loss of the server host. Any logs I had of connection issues were lost with it.

One of my staff members noted he was having reconnection issues in a local game after he added the KOTH mod. He suggested that I leave off the KOTH parts when I fired up the rebuilt server. I did just that and we were able to login, log out, and login again without having to exit and restart the client. We had removed the KOTH mod and the plugin.

I will have my staff member who noted the issues in his local game send me the relevant logs and I will forward them to you.

PS: torchapi.net is no longer active. You will want to change the URL to torchapi.com

@darth, can you DM me on discord with some server logs of poeple failing to connect? I'd like to see what the errors are.

I'll pass this along. I did not make the plugin, just the mod. If the mod by itself is causing the issue i can fix it.

@Gauge

We determined on our server that having the mod + plugin was causing players to not be able to rejoin the server after exiting unless they closed the game client and restarted it. This has been going on for a more than a few months. We finally narrowed it down to this mod.

We have been getting the error "error loading world" with no discernible information in the logs. All they indicate the world was loading, then immediately starts unloading components of the process until it generates the error message.

I do not have any logs to submit as I had to recently restart my server due to host issues.

are you guys aware of the server rejoin issue causing "error with loading the world"?

I found a discrepancy with the encampment mode: It requires a grid to be outputting power, so something needs to be consuming power for it to pass. The problem is the HUD does not seem to check this, so it continues to show an active faction, despite the grid not capping points. This should be clarified or update the HUD to reflect only factions with qualifying grids.

I also found the /koth force-load command seems to not do anything at all. If I change the score in the file then run that command it does not reflect the changes.

Ill get the log soon

This mod is running on many servers without issue. i cannot help if i don't have the log file and a general description of your server setup.

Here are some things that would help me identify the issue:
Server Logs directly after a crash.
Is the crash happening on server start? if not when does it happen? Is it consistently reproducible?
is the server modded or unmodded? mod list?
Are you using custom items as rewards? what items?
What settings are you using that are not default?

This mod crashes my server now

Would you be open to accepting a patch that allows (optionally) specifying the zone name via config? Would allow having koth zones outside of planets. Currently works but names the zone as "N/A" which is unideal
