MP missions on dedicated server

[Kasimir 3]

Hi guys, 

 

our MP server is on 1.92 and offers Weferlingen as a terrain, but no MP missions are available. Is this on purpose? We'd like playing them on our dedicated server instead of self hosting. Am I missing something here?

 

Thanks,

Kasimir

Anyone know where these missions are in the DLC? cant find them as yet.

YAY! simple solution Kasimir if the maps are showing on your dedicated server then simply add   gm;   to your command start line.

if you are not running any other mods then add -mod=gm;  and the missions to go with the Summer/winter maps should now show. 🕺

Thanks jgaz, but sadly our server is not a root server, so that's not an option. I'm currently also investigating with our provider. Nothing new so far.

[jgaz-uk 130]

So you don't run any mods at all then?

I would have thought all dedicated Servers have to have a commandline to start the game up?

[Kasimir 3]

We do run mods, but we don't have root access, so no command line. It's all run through a web interface.

Thank you for this golden nugget of information!

Same here, running a rented virtual server with mods (uploaded via ftp). No clue how to run the GM mod and the coop missions. Any ideas?

[mondkalb 1087]

Just add 

gm;

to your -mod= list for the server startup.

[jgaz-uk 130]

Kasimir Wow! no access to server start up? not good. Who edits the commandline/startup to include your addons? Ask them to add gm; for you.

 

We rent a server from "https://fragnet.net/?page=gameservers" Admin (4 of us) has full access to edit mods, update steam, upload addons edit the inits pretty much everything. not too expensive we share the cost between about a dozen of us.

[Kasimir 3]

We have to manually copy mods over through FTP and "activate" them afterwards in a web interface. Then they are added to the server startup command line. Since I can't upload it, I can't add it to the command line.

 

Provider is g-portal.

Thx Mondkalb and thanks for the nice DLC ;). Unfortunately I am in the same situation as Kasimir, I don't have complete access to all server settings. It's just a small one with a Web interface, editable server.cfg not much more. Mods on the ftp server  are automatically recognized and I can activate them via the interface.

 

I will contact my provider Gportal  to see what they can do. Thanks again!

Kasimir we are in the same situation with Gportal apparently... I will create a ticket there and will share any progress with them here

[Kasimir 3]

Tobur, I already have one open, let's see what happens. My guess is they will offer a specialised GM server like they did with apex.

[jgaz-uk 130]

Kasimir Activate gm exactly the same way you do any other mod, that has to work.

[Kasimir 3]

jgaz I can't. There is no menu entry gm available to activate. I even tried creating a folder named @gm, thus making the gportal administration system believe there is a mod called gm and create the menu entry to activate. That even works, but basically doesn't change anything. I can't select any of the coop missions.

 

I do see Weferlingen (the map). The missions are not there. I could probably create a Weferlingen mission, upload and play it.

[Tobur 37]

@Kasimirany news from Gportal?

First you don't have to actually upload anything just "activate" it in a web interface.

 

You said you DO run addons on your Dedicated server, so someone at sometime some how must have added/activated them to the server start up for you to use! So go through the same process that you did to be able to use your current addons & have the 2 letters gm activated. That will have all the new GM DLC missions showing automatically!  for example   @isladuala;gm;@Lingor3; etc, etc,  just the 2 letters added in there is all it takes, as I said nothing to upload.

 

If you are not running any addons (you did say previous you were) then fair enough your are out of options sorry m8 😧

Hey,

 

thanks for your effort, editing the @ string is known. But for Gportal there is just no possibility to add anything regarding mods / DLCs manually. The Gportal webinterface looks automatically for @xxx folders on the server and lets us activate/deactivate it only with a button. See here

or I am totally nuts🤔

 

I guess this is the drawback for cheap / small slot servers.... I also created a ticket to the provider, they need to solve this I guess

[jgaz-uk 130]

OMG! how crap is that!  if GM does not show up in that list (it has no @ in front) as an available Addon, then you are screwed, your Provider will have to do it.

 

Not an advert but Fragnet gives us;

@Kasimirafter my ticket Gportal now implemented a switch for GM DLC content. You can find it under basic settings

[Tobur 37]

 @Kasimir@Kasimir so after I finally got the mod set on the server, how about the coop missions? How to start them on a dedicated server? 

[Kasimir 3]

@Tobur Sorry, haven't been here for quite some time. We didn't find a way yet. Did you?

Nope, but also haven't tried too hard lately...
