Tutorial Starbound Server Management Console Release

I never play anymore, but one of my admins was reporting that "ever since I added the login/logoff stuff that people get disconnected alot more"

So I'm rolling back to one of your older versions for now.

 

Thanks for the report, I'm looking into it.

 

Love the launcher, but feel like it needs some more functionality / options to be truly great. Of course a lot of that is going to change based upon whatever Chucklefish does with the alpha, so I'm not really complaining Great work!

• More bug fixes
  • Added more safety features to prevent accidental disconnects

 

Seems like there's less disconnection in masses, but sometimes just seeing individual disconnections frightens me. Not sure if it's the server or them dcing lol. I've been getting mixed answers when I asked.

 

A strange trend I'm currently seeing is that my server peaks around 10-11 players, as if the server been kicking people to maintain that certain number for whatever reason over my 16 slot server.

 

Hmmm wouldn't think that was true? I have a full 25 in mine for most of the day, it doesn't seem like i'm getting that?

The only strange problems i'm getting at the moment is that some players see the ISSMConsole messages like the join/leave/motd ones and others do not. Also some players can use the /player command while others get unknown command. Really weird. Oh and the IPs are still duplicating down the list for other players. Other than that everything is working like a dream. Thanks man!

 

Hi.
I have just started playing Starbound and after I made a server I tried this little neat script of yours. It worked at sunday, but now when I try to use it, it gives me the following error:
Error: NetworkException: Cannot bind socket to *:21025: The operation completed successfully.


006FEAB0 (E:/Steamworks/Starbound/git/starbound/source/core/StarIODevice.hpp:9)
006FEF94 (E:/Steamworks/Starbound/git/starbound/source/core/StarNet.cpp:792)

00401585

Anyone knows what it means and what I can do about it? The server seems to work fine when I start it from the starbound_server.exe file.

 

Since I intercept all packets coming from every client, and since every chat packet SHOULD be identical with the same chat command entered, I can only assume that some people are typing /player and others /players.

Note that the plural one is correct one. I'm going to modify it so that both are acceptable.

 

You shouldn't be binding the server one 21025 while using ISSMConsole. That is the port it listens on, and Starbound needs to be moved over to 21024. There should be prompts that mention this on startup, or you can adjust it yourself manually.

 

Thanks for this, its great, Got a question though how do i log in as admin?

Thanks,

 

I just realized this Icer. My server tends to close the listener thread every 2 hours. Could this be caused by KeepAliveTime? It seems to matches up.

 

I think I have found the problem. People entering the server on the IP without adding the port number see the console messages while people who add the :21024 don't see the console messages.

 

They shouldn't be adding the 21024, as that connects to the server direct and won't run through the ISSMConsole.

However, that said, the /players commands are not working for me either. I get unknown command with both /player and /players. Console sees the commands, but doesn't do anything with them.

Past that, very impressive so far. I like the methods at work here.

 

Can you have it write the chat log to a log file?

 

Yeah, I got confused as I thought that changing the port would require players to use that port to connect to the server instead of the old one.

The /players command does work for me though.

 

hey, this i beautiful, and thanks for the better console type set up, but i have a question? where/ how do i add the code to make admins? or how do i set a password?




ps. also, would there by chance be a list of commands anywhere?

 

woo cannot wait to test out this console. Just seen it was updated, wonder why i wasn't notified.. New the new NGIX updates bugged it up. When i get home ill try out the new console see what happens and get you some feedback with how it handles

 

Yes a page with all the commands would be nice to have. TY

Edit: Disregard, I was using the very first release of this program I had downloaded a long time ago.
