DCS Server Control


Recommended Posts

I believe I read somewhere that a "pause when no players connected" option is available for DCS server. Is it a thing or am I imagining things?

 

 

It is there. On the web control interface in server settings (gears icon), advanced, and near bottom of window there are 3 options starting "Resume...". The last one, "Resume with clients", pauses the server when it is empty.

In my other thread, ED reported that the webui not responding was related to a compiler issue and systems without AES-NI. Once I had my host move my VM to a machine that would expose AES-NI to me, my webui started working again.

So I am having a really weird issue with the Dedicated server and the WebGUI. Everything is working fine and all ports needed are opened etc , however whenever I actually launch my server (the dedicated app npt the actual client running as a server) my servers always show up in the webgui browser as in some sort of offline manual mode, as soon as I click the Server # xxxxxx name it lets me in and im able to start the server normally , howevever the server refuses to start up when i run the exe file it just puts itself into this sleep like state!

 

Anyone got any ideas why? heres my auto exec and my serversettings/lua:

 

 

cfg =

[1] = "C:\\Users\\MCMac\\Saved Games\\Missions\\Operation Clear Field v111.miz",

}, -- end of ["advanced"]

["password"] = "",

["description"] = "",

["name"] = "MM SERVER SMACK OPERATION CLEAR FIELD",

["listShuffle"] = false,

["version"] = 1,

["require_pure_models"] = false,

["require_pure_clients"] = false,

["maxPlayers"] = "100",

} -- end of cfg

 

 

options.graphics.fullScreen = false

options.graphics.width = 640

options.graphics.height = 480

options.graphics.maxfps = 20

options.graphics.render3D = false

if not net then net = {} end

net.download_speed = 131072000

net.upload_speed = 131072000

disable_write_track = true

webgui_port = 8088

 

my switches im running the exe';s with are as follows:

 

E:\DCS\bin\DCS.exe --norender --server -w Instance1

 

I have 3 instance but am only running 2 due to ED's temporary limitations

Nope not fixed. Now the servers show up by name in the remote web browser but when i click on them they both say offline.

 

I can bring up both when loading the index.htm file (local webgui) on the server but it asks for the port (when i enter the webgui port for that instance the server loads as it should)

 

 

 

 

EDIT: played around with my ports and it APPEARS they weren't forwarded correctly. everything working now.

Something has changed. Remote admin works again, and I changed nothing other than update my dedicated server files. Happy days :)

Sorry to say but remote admin has stopped working again :(

 

I can connect using DCS to my server from my client machine. The Server list in my ED profile reports my server as running, but when view the server dashboard it reports server not connected. I have made no changes to server nor client other then the update yesterday.

Each time I restart the server, I can see it in the server list and on the remote page for about 24 hours then only reachable via IP...

Hey there!

How can i change a mission , to a mission of my list?

Can i force Dedicated server to just load next mission from my mission list every X hours?

Without having to "Mission Edit" every mission in the list.

 

Thanks in advance.

From my experience in order for a mission rotation to occur you would indeed need to set an "END MISSION" trigger on every mission, and on the playlist file you should enable either shuffle or loop.

How do you link to your server by IP - by IP in URL to host page, or in game?

 

@all, I am guessing I will need to change my server port from 10309 with the VOIP implementation?

Hi All, can anyone tell me how to change the default webgui port from 8088 to 80xx on the new 2.5.6 open beta dedicated server..?

By default I no longer see an autoexec.cfg file and adding one appears to make no difference.

I’ve had to do a complete removal and reinstall after the first 2.5.6 update. FYI the original 2.5.5 was working correctly for a long time on 8087 so it can’t be a router port issue.

Many thanks

 

Additional... even on the default 8088 the local webgui can see the server but the remote webgui (using google not windows browser) can not connect.

Hi, just an update from the question above. I still haven’t found a method of setting the default webgui port to anything other than the default 8088, so if any knows a method I’d appreciate your input.

I would try adding an inbound rule in your firewall for the port you want to use.

Thank you Viff, I do have the inbound rule set. But appreciate your thoughts mate.

so there is no way to have let's say my friend use this tool to control the server only the pc that has the sever installed on it can use this tool? any plans to make it to where you can have remote access of server that is not tied to DCS account maybe login via server IP or what not?

We have created a new DCS account for each of our servers. So it is not a big problem to give someone the password. But I hope ED will add a real rights management to the server, so we can give other DCS accounts rights to the server and are able to remove them also.

Cant load missions

 

Hi guys,

 

I am in need of some help please.

Trying to host a server using the webgui, but for some reason i cant add any missions.

The server starts up, gui connects, but when i click add mission the screen comes up blank

 

 

I have deleted the server settings, and even the entire webgui folder in DCS.

I have run a repair, and clean, the pc running DCS is clean, with no extra modules except the maps and missions.

I have tried chrome and firefox, same thing.

 

ANY help please?

Hi I will try to help you...

 

Are you sure the webGUI is connecting? are there any missions in the C:/Users/[my username]/Saved Games/DCS/Missions folder?

 

Please post your autoexec.cfg and serversettings.lua

 

Cheers

You need at least one mission in the serversettings.lua list. Then the server would fully load and you'd be able to edit the list.
