DCS World Dedicated Server

Thank you HiJack, Sounds like I need to install them in each instance..

 

Also, any idea why when my Servers start the missions don’t automatically start up at the same time. I need to manually start them.

 

Thanks again mate..

 

Edit. Just to be clear, the server starts in widows but I need to go into the web gui to actually start the server up to get the mission loaded. Hope I’m making some sense... :-) :-)

Open advanced settings in The webgui and select start on load (or something in that direction). Then save settings, then select restart. Make sure you also save the mission list.

Hi HiJack, found I needed to add ["version"] = 1 to the serverSettings.lua file.

All good now.

Thank you. :thumbup:

Auto Restart your DCS Server

Auto Restart your DCS Server

how can we do this

can sombody explane pleace

my server cracht every night

I wil auto start the server every 4 hours

is there a program or something pleace

thanx

This will restart DCS if it's not running-

Try this, a few notes first:

1. You need to run the stop.bat file to prevent DCS from constantly trying to restart if you want to stop DCS

2. Drag the "dcs_servermon.vbs" into a command window and press enter

3. You can create a batch file to run the servermon if required, easier than opening a cmd window every time

4. Make sure you set the path to the DCS server exe file and the name of the exe file including all parameters in the servermon.vbs file.

This script was originally created by me to restart the old DCS when then was no dedicated server, it does work for the new version though. RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK

Unpack the zip file, edit where the server exe and dir are, run the vbs script - DCS will start, to stop run the DCS_Servermon_stop.bat.

Code:

'****************************************

'Name of the DCS exe we want to watch

sEXEName = "DCS.exe"

'polling interval for the monitor in milliseconds (10000 is 10 seconds)

sScriptInterval = "10000"

'The path to the server install Dir with DCS.exe

sDcsPath = "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin"

'****************************************

'* NO NEED TO EDIT BELOW THIS LINE *

'****************************************

'Loop until the system is shutdown or user logs out

while true

bRunning = false

'Look for our application. Set the flag bRunning = true

'If we see that it is running

for each Process in Service.InstancesOf ("Win32_Process")

if Process.Name = sEXEName then

bRunning=true

End If

next

'Is our app running?

if (not bRunning) then

'No it is not, launch it

Shell.Run Chr(34) & sDCSPath & sEXEName & Chr(34)

end if

WScript.Sleep (sScriptInterval)

wend

ok thanx i will try it out

can i also put some time in it to start every 4 hours outomatekly

grts

you could... but its better to re-run the mission using a trigger in the mission editor... You would set a "time more" flag and then action to load a mission.

Hi ED Devs, here is some log file info

last weeks dedicated server exe

And now ? what can i do to solve this problem im my dedicated server ?

i tried repair it, but, doesn't solve

When I try to modify the mission list in the WebGUI, I am stuck at SAVED GAMES. Can't go in the folders. If I move my missions in the SAVED GAMES root folder, I can add them just fine. Any idea ?

I think for security they only allow saved games to be the top level folder you can navigate to

Yea but I cant go in the subfolders in the SAVED GAMES folders.

Are you using local html file or through the DCS website ?

Using local web browser on server hosting the dcs.exe it works fine for me

only issue I could see would be file permissions of account running the server or web browser ?

local html. Was working fine before but no longer. Tried via normal -server and with dedicated server. Same problem with both.

try a fresh server install , or rename your saved games / server instance folder (it should re-create it) and see if that helps

The install was fresh and can't access any of the 3 sub folders. Mission list works fine if edited in the lua file.

Any kind of security tool or virus scanner preventing the access?

Long time ago I used Bitdefender and there was a module which protects files saved in user folders if any unknown programm tries to read or write them. It is the only thing I can imagine.

Has anyone managed to get this new dedicated server to run on a PC with Steam version of DCS?

Last time I tried, it just ignored the server/norender commands and just launched DCS in normal game mode. Think I read that this also happened to others.

I would like to experiment / learn about it, but I don't have the room/interest to install a completely redundant second non-Steam copy of DCS at this time.

hi there, is there a way to minimize the DCS world server screen? I've tried a few ways but no joy as yet

no

bugger, do you think it may be added in the future?

dcs server takes always the first mission from the list by restart

i have a list with 4 missions

is it possible that when the server autorestart the next mission starts

thanx

+1 Good question...!

Hello

I have a server problem on a PC, separate login.

When we enter the game after some time the server falls.

Will it be better to run the server from another partition?

Thank you :pilotfly:
