Custom server at www.onehourone.life

Zenchess · 2018-03-07 23:49:03

Announcing the launch of my custom server! All players welcome, no moderation! To use, go to settings directory in the main game directory, and change the text inside customServerAddress.ini to www.onehourone.life and change useCustomServer.ini from 0 to 1. Game settings default except "allowMapRequests" turned on (if that does anything).

Server limited to 60 players, but I'm guessing there won't be too many people on.

Btw, if you spawn as an Eve, and die of old age, and then are reborn as an Eve (you're the only player on), you will spawn back at your camp.

Edit: Since I will be piping server console output to the web (so players can find their location), if you don't want to reveal your email please use a fake email for server login.

Current Server Version: (latest) v63

Great job! I will be logging in tomorrow to check it out

ETK03 · 2018-03-08 02:46:53

Hi, I just played on this server. Is there any way to see Coordinates?

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 03:00:52

I asked Jason and there's a way you can download a map from the server. I believe I've allowed map requests for everyone.
I'll check into it and get back to ya shortly. I don't know if there's any other way to navigate but in the future I can code some custom server modifications. My idea is that a lot of people want to be able to go back to their old base, so I want to facilitate that.

ETK03 · 2018-03-08 03:11:32

Ok I found my old base, I saw you on a little bit ago. I found my base now, but I would still like a map.

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 03:12:38

Here's how you can activate map pull mode. Change these files and run the client, hopefully you don't starve before its done
I believe the center is x = 0 y = 0 you may not want to get too ambitious about how far you map

Let me know if it doesn't work, I believe I've activated it on the server but haven't tried it yet.

settings/mapPullStartX.ini
settings/mapPullEndX.ini
settings/mapPullStartY.ini
settings/mapPullEndY.ini

settings/mapPullMode.ini < change to 1
settings/fullscreen.ini < change to 0

settings/useLargestWindow.ini < change to 0

settings/screenWidth.ini < set to whatever resolution you want the images to be
settings/screenHeight.ini

edit:
if it doesnt work pm me with the email you're using for the server and i can add you to the list of map pullers

Ok I set the numbers to 200 and -200. It look frozen but I think that it is still working. How do I see it when it is done?

ETK03 · 2018-03-08 03:24:21

How long is this going to take?

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 03:29:29

I honestly have no idea. Jason told me starving while it happens is an issue too. So uh, maybe start with smaller numbers and see if it works

ETK03 · 2018-03-08 03:37:20

Now my game won't start. "Runtime error"

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 03:49:11

hmm did you try changing the mapPullMode.ini back to 0?

edit:
I'll try the map pull right now

edit: Oh and change fullscreen and uselargest window back to 1

worst case scenario redownload the client to get all the default settings back

ETK03 · 2018-03-08 04:02:35

I redownloaded it works now.

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 04:39:53

Ok I got it figured out. Turns out I have to add each map puller to a list. I've added everyone whose been on the server recently, which goes by the email you have set when you logged in.

You should be able to map out quite a bit of stuff, and you'll see it working in the tiny client that opens up because it will move around really fast. I suggest using 256 for screenWidth and 144 for screenHeight but basically you come up with a scalefactor (say 5 in this case) then divide 1280 / 5 for screenWidth = 256 and 720 / 5 for screenHeight = 144.

You should probably be fine doing something like at least -200 and +200 because it seems to go pretty fast, but you'll have to live through it hunger wise. It will make a new image called mapOut.tga in the game folder.

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 22:14:07

Turns out doing -200 +200 crashes my client but -100 +100 works. trying to get the map now

Omenpapa · 2018-03-08 22:17:32

While having more servers is always appreciated, why would some1 play on your server compared to the officials? Are there any balance changes or something extra?

Kinrany · 2018-03-08 22:30:30

Btw, if you spawn as an Eve, and die of old age, and then are reborn as an Eve (you're the only player on), you will spawn back at your camp.

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 22:35:31

Well, right now there's no big reason to use the server, I guess just do it if you want something different. The server also has no key checks so there's that.

I am in the works though of adding a few new features, so it will be a bit different than the official servers. I'm open to suggestions. For instance, I could change the food bonus to 3 instead of the upcoming change back to 2.

I also plan to let people have a better time of finding their base, so I'm looking into how I can let players know their coordinates. I may just make a webpage that echoes all the server console activity, or perhaps I can modify the server source a bit to put in a command for getting your coordinates.

There have been a few people using the server so far, like 3 people on at max I would say.

This is actually part of the main servers as well except you don't really experience this on populated servers. Also someone told me that it doesn't always work 100%, sometimes it just spawns you NEAR your camp and you have to do a bit of searching.

Zenchess · 2018-03-08 22:55:10

Announcement: Server briefly going down at 5:30 pm central time (about a half hour from now), so I can pipe the server console to a webpage. You'll then be able to find your coordinates by moving in game and checking with the webpage. However it might be a bit confusing if there are multiple people, but once you figure out what your player number is by doing something like picking up a rock or whatever it will be easier. The server will only be down for like a minute at most if everything goes well.

Edit: One more thing. If you don't want your login email to be revealed, please use a fake email for server login.

The utiity I used didn't work well with the game. I'm going to try a different one. Server may come down randomly for the next 20 minutes or so.

Ok finally got it to work. Sorry about the downtime. Go to http://www.onehourone.life:8080/
and you can see the server output. Scroll up to freeze it (it scrolls by very fast) and figure out your player number (i think we're up to like 100 or so already).

Pick up a rock or something so you figure out what your player number is, and you should be able to figure out your coordinates somehow by reading the output.

edit: Easiest way to find yourself in the console output is to say something

Announcement: I am planning to update the server to use the new patch. If you've noticed any problems, you may have updated your client , the server is still running an outdated version.
I'm going to work on it for a bit and then update the server. There will be a small downtime for that within the next hour or so. If you see anyone in there please tell them about this change.
If you need to update your client just connect to the main server (no custom server) and it will auto update. But don't do it yet if you haven't already

Zenchess · 2018-03-09 02:17:06

Ok I am taking down the server to update the version!

Zenchess · 2018-03-09 03:03:58

Alrighty, the server is updated and live again. Sorry it took so long, I got tripped up on something. If you have any issues DM me on discord (zenchess)

Someone let me know if the game world persisted among the server update.

I logged on and I went to the coordinates where my base used to be. It was gone. I double-checked the coordinates and it looks like the map is wiped. I think you need to add your number after your discord like zenchess#1234.

Rrajigar · 2018-03-09 15:42:01

Mother! Are you there? It's me, Bob!

We farmed carrots (possibly too many carrots...), and I made you baskets and waterskins. Just wanted to say thanks for taking care of me and keeping the farm going, sorry I got cocky with my food meter and starved right in front of your (respawn's) eyes at age 52,. When I return I will try to bless our fledgling colony with that much needed shovel

Hope you and my little brother-nephew are doing ok, and remember to not let the carrots seed!
-Love from, your son Bob
