Note: This mod is not compatible with or necessary for the Essentials plugin for Torch.

Yes,using it for month now :)

is this legit?

Essentials Server Extender isnt working right now,right?!

I do not understand, what is the directory to decompress?

NEW version! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=559202083

Just a little misunderstanding thats bothered me for the long while Ive used this.
On Git, it is worded as such:
"If you're just using the archive provided, just unzip the archive into it's own sub directory off the Mods directory of your world instance."

English is a hard language and that can be taken as 3 different locations. And it still confuses me, no matter how many times I do this haha. I do recommend providing an example path to where you wish it to be extracted. It'll help a lot of others whose first language was other than that of english.

Use this link: http://forum.keenswh.com/threads/mp-mod-dedicated-server-essentials-requires-seserverextender.7174455/

The link you posted goes nowhere -- "Keen Software House Forums - Error
The requested page could not be found."

Seems the links are still out of date :P

@z51aj17 Did you read the description? This mod doesn't do anything on its own. The links are out of date; go here http://forum.keenswh.com/threads/se-server-extender-current-releases-and-plugins then go to the last page to get the latest files.

I still have no idea how to use this, how to determine if it's even running, or anything else for that matter. Some input would be greatly appreciated!

If your server gives an error initializing the mod, try this patched version https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=559202083

Getting a errors with the mod on my server starting with

It shows up in the plugins section of extender (when you make place it in the mods section of C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Mods, the two recent releases don't seem to be playing nice together though and essentials crashes my server upon login...

How do I use the commands? When I run my server, it runs in a cmd window, and I see nothing out of the ordinary in-game either. I would like to schedule timed restarts.

Thanks!

This looks awesome, but the only thing that I haven't seen anywhere, is how to fucking use it. Like, how in the blue fuck do I even open the in-game gui?!

The link i posted below gives the releases of server extender. if he/ she post a new one then it will be listed there. for the server side of essentials you can go here [github.com].

Had trouble getting the essentials working. However, I was not the one working it so will have to ask for specifics. Is there a newer version perhaps? Thought we had the latest based on that link.

Yes please read the description, this mod is only for use with essentials, which is a mod for extender. This is not a standalone mod.

For thoses trying to get this mod to work use the new version of server extender [github.com] and essentials should work

Tyrsis: This still working?

I have the same problem .. i dont know where i have to put the folder of the essential plugin .. i Need help .. if some one can give me an answer .. thx

i have problems getting this plugin going on my server

i have put the essentials plugin into the mods folder and also added the workshop addon, but it wont show up in the plugins list of SESE

any help please?

EVERYTIME I TRY TO RUN THIS MOD my server wont boot it stays in starting mode and never actually starts. yes seever exteneder is installed on the server

The GPS hud spam is my only complaint with this.
Katanata posted a couple of months ago about adding your GPS and Waypoints mod to allow us to turn off the GPS display.
Is adding your GPS mod the only current solution?
Do you plan to allow us to turn off the GPS display ingame or with a config setting?
I aplogize if this has been addressed again and again. I looked back a few pages, I may have missed it.

Thank you for your efforts and the better sim speed we enjoy due to them.

Im still confused on where you even install/unzip the essentials plugin. In the Mod section of the instance?

Nice work, I've just started looking into the ModAPI, and you've added some nice features. I'm still investigating, but I might as well ask: Is there anyway to detect blocks that were deleted by a hacker and restore them? Or even who the hacker was so they can be banned by steamid? I can think of a few ways perhaps, but you would know better than me at this point. Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks!

Also I couldn't figure out how to use conquest game mode..

I really need protected entities to work.
I am placing several "places" in my server that will be part of a story.
But when people are able to grind them up I am not able to make my server go public...

Great mod! If someone want to remove coords in the top, add "GPS and Waypoints" mod and then write "/wp position" twice ingame.

Sorry, wasn't clear: Looking to use the Extender as a service (have it setup, just not tested) but be able to connect to that service using the GUI. Being limited to just using the in-game chat would be painful. Is that the purpose of the Extender GUI?

There is no way to turn the coords off at the top (it's on the list apparently). There is no way to use Extender with the Vanilla executable running as a service that I'm aware of.

Also... is there anyway to turn the server name and grid coordinates off at the top of the screen? I have Waypoint set to false, but that didn't do it.

Love this mod and the wrapper, running it now on the IMA Credit SE Server

So far, just one problem: Lost the wrapper GUi! The command line box is still running, as is the game, but the GUI is gone. This raises a related question: How do you start the GUI if running the extender as a service?

nvm found it :) wasn't paying attention :)

I Understand that now, but since I have a lot of mods on the client side installed, for testing purposes, which one is this mod then?

It is added to extender like any other workshop mod that you add to extender. There is a "Mods" section in the extender UI (first tab) and you put the ID of this mod in there if you have essentials. Please follow essentials directions.

Should this be run from the client side on a server with SE Server Extender? Or needs this to be installed at the dedicated server as well?

Can someone please guide me on how to properly setup a MoTD? I can't find help with editing the /info commands.

Thank you.

Any chance of getting a (or do you know of an existing) character persist system? Seems so absurd that save game actually saves players and their inventories but if you get dropped from the server for any reason ... you disappear from the material realm. If nothing else just an option to kill the player on disconnect (so their corpse/inventory doesn't get wiped) might be an easy implementation.

It's kind of hard to say, usually it's an EntityId duplicate, as that's the only thing they care about keeping unique. The only other solution I can say is for you to delete your voxels in the area until you find the one causing the issue. Maybe something is wrong with it's octree.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the asteroids. I'm fairly certain you won't find a duplicate EntitiyID in the savegame though. I just deleted the asteroids in the problem area and new ones spawned in. I'm not sure how Keen is keeping their Entitiy ID unique; seems like it's serial. Is it possible that the conflict wasn't the EntitiyID but related to the Asteroid voxel save system? Like, the coords (multiplier) in the file name?

Although NPP doesn't have enough Regex implemented to find/mark duplicates, I was able to use TextFX to sort and look for the presence of a duplicate. All 466 Entity IDs appear to be unique. From the duplicate Key Exception, I don't see what collection it's actually working with; I'm sure there are quite a few collections in play here - do you see something that lets you know it's an asteroid? It seems to me if a duplicate entity were in the .sbs I would get the exception when the file was parsed. If the server were repeatedly trying to add an EntitiyID that already existed I assume it would never make it into the .sbs; the server crashes first.

I've rolled back to save from earlier that day (hopefully before the corruption).

There is an asteroid duped in your world. You will need to remove that otherwise that error will not go away. Edit your save and try to find it. (MyObjectBuilder_VoxelMap are asteroids, try to locate ones that have duplicate EntityId fields, and remove one of them)

I've been looking at the logs. This is the crash that was logged each time with Extender running. pastebin.com/Z3UXXTRX

Interesting, this turret issue set off something of a night of terror on my server. Aside from the deaths from unruly turrets, I had a user ask me to help them back to their base after a perma death. I gave him the coords and, figured I'd be nice so I went into the entities tab on the server and turned their turrets off. He promptly reported that the turrets were not off, and as I was mousing around in the entities tab again to see what happened, the server threw an exception and crashed. It took some doing but we found that now, if the user goes a certain distance away from their base (the one I modified in the entities tab), not only does the server crash but every single connect client also CTD's prompting the user to send the info to Keen. I've run the server through the vanilla service without the Mod and it still crashes each time.

Yes, this is the unfortunate side effect of the server controlling turrets. There is a [ManaulControl] tag that players can put on turrets to override, but I don't really encourage it. If users want to "turn off" their turrets, they are told to group them all and set range to 1 meter. Which effectively does the same thing.

So I seem to have found an unwanted side effect. If turret management is enabled, then turrets cannot be be turned off by the player. They are immediately turned back on by the server.
So a simple toggle off to disable weapons doesn't work.
