Thread: Problem with setting up a Server

  1. #1

    Problem with setting up a Server

    Okay, first of all: I'm german so sorry if my english is bad.
    Well, here's my problem:
    I want to set up a Fallout NV-Server.
    I already configured all the .inis based on the Tutorial of Volumed, but when I start the Server it's a Fallout 3-Server instead of a Fallout NV-Server.
    I've changed the "game=fallout3" to "game=newvegas" but the problem just won't go away.
    Any Ideas of what I did wrong?

    Greetings Lordbrowser

    My tutorial is outdated, so a lot of steps should not be done anymore.
    Did place the server in a separated folder and is the vaultserver.ini still with the vaultserver.exe and all the other folders? Did you save it? ctrl + s.

    I didn't move them, they are all in the places where they were in the beginning.
    I just edited the .inis I needed to and that's it.
    Is there a "How to" for setting up a server which isn't outdated?
    Sry if there is and I just didn't find it.

    If you specify "game=newvegas" the server will be a New Vegas server. The .ini should be in the same directory as the executable; optionally, you can use the path to the .ini as first program argument.

    Well, I already wrote "game=newvegas" in it, but it doesn't work.
    Also the .ini is in the same directory, so I don't really know why it's always a Fallout 3-Server...

    Show us the full .ini content. It works for all other people including me, so there's very likely to be an error in your setup.

    Sooo, somehow I got the Server working now.
    Don't really know why it's working now, but well it's certainly better that way.
    One question though: Is it normal that all containers are empty, and that when I rejoin I get fully reseted?

    Yes, this is normal. However you can write a script which saves your items:

    https://www.vaultmp.com/showwiki.php?...ems+of+players

    The next version of vaultmp will re-populate the world with items / items in containers dynamically.

    That sounds good!
    One more question: Can you give me an example of what I need to write into the .ini for it to function properly?
    I already wrote the scripts into .cpp-Files but don't really know what to write into the .ini to actually find and load it.

    Did you compile the script?
