Serverkonfiguration

Alles was du wissen musst, um deinen Server zu konfigurieren!

Server-Konfigurationsdatei

Die Server-Konfigurationsdatei Config.toml wird automatisch erzeugt, wenn der Server zum ersten Mal gestartet wird. Diese Datei wird immer mit dem korrekten Muster überschrieben, nachdem der Server geladen wurde.

tip

nanos world Config files use TOML (Tom’s Obvious, Minimal Language), please refer to https://github.com/toml-lang/toml for more information and syntax.

Einstellungen detailliert

EinstellungBeschreibung
nameName des Servers
beschreibungBeschreibung des Servers
max_playersMax amount of players allowed to join
passwordPassword to be able to connect
ipServer IP. We recommend leaving it blank
portServer main Port and HTTP Port (UDP/TCP)
query_portServer query Port (UDP)
announceWhether to announce or not in the Server List
tick_rateServer Tick in ms. We recommend leaving it 33
log_levelWhich Log level to output

loading_screenloading-screen package to load - you can only load one loading-screen at once.
packagesscript packages to load
mapmap package to load
assetsAdditional assets to force to load
tokenServer Token used for authorize downloads through CLI
banned_idsList of banned nanos account IDs

Logo Image

It is possible to have a custom image to be displayed in the server list. For that, add a file called Server.jpg besides the server executable with the logo you wish. The recommended size is 300x150.

tip

You can pass a JPG image URL to --logo parameter to download and use a image from the web instead of placing it physically in the folder.

Map & Level

The Map (or Level) is defined in the Server's config file, this map will be loaded when the player joins the server in the client side.

To configure a map, please refer to Packages Guide to create a Map Package pointing to the correct Asset.

nanos world counts on (for now) 4 built-in maps: default-blank-map, default-empty-map, default-ocean-map and default-testing-map which can be used in your server without needing to download any Package/Asset Pack.

tip

Flag Value Types don't require any argument, just pass the parameter like --parameter.

One-liner Server Configuration

With Command Line Parameters and Command Line Interface (CLI), it is also possible to automate the full server installation, here's an example:

Shell/Linux
# Installs/Updates the server through SteamCMD
steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/nanos-world-server +login anonymous +app_update "1936830 -beta bleeding-edge" validate +quit

# Installs all needed Packages (this will install needed Assets as well)
./NanosWorldServer.sh --cli install package sandbox battlefield-kill-ui ts-fireworks-tools

# Starts the server with all configs set
./NanosWorldServer.sh --name "nanos world Amazing Sandbox" --description "Awesome Sandbox Server" --map "nanos-world::TestingMap" --game_mode "sandbox" --packages "battlefield-kill-ui,ts-fireworks-tools" --port 7777 --query_port 7778 --max_players 32 --logo "https://i.imgur.com/vnB8CB5.jpg"

Another shorter example:

Shell/Linux
# Starts the server with all configs set and auto downloads the packages and assets if needed
./NanosWorldServer.sh --name "nanos world Amazing Sandbox" --description "Awesome Sandbox Server" --map "nanos-world::TestingMap" --game_mode "sandbox" --packages "battlefield-kill-ui,ts-fireworks-tools" --port 7777 --query_port 7778 --max_players 32 --auto_download 1 --logo "https://i.imgur.com/vnB8CB5.jpg"

Common Console Messages and Errors

Server zu stark/extrem hoch! Überprüfen Sie die Leistung des Servers! Server got stuck for Xms...

It means the server got stuck for X milliseconds. The warning (yellow) is not something to worry about, but too many messages in red could mean your server infrastructure is not that good or your scripting code is not that optimized.

Usually the server runs at 33 ticks per second (or the value configured at Config.toml), the server runs in an infinite loop in that frequency, and inside that loop all server operations are executed, such as receiving and sending network packets, triggering lua events, executing functions or callbacks, and so on.

If a single tick takes more than 33 milliseconds, this warning will appear up.

tip

In some shared VPS, this warning may appear up more frequently due how the VPS handles the scaling of it's machines, sometimes the provider may think your VPS is "idle" (due nanos world server using extremely low CPU) and may decrease your processing power, causing this warning show up as well.

Lua Stack Error: Should be X, is Y...

This is an internal error and should not supposed to happen. Those are guards set around our Lua Scripting implementation to prevent bad things from happening. If this error appears it means a implementation bug happened. Please communicate immediately with the devs, and if possible how to reproduce that!

...Was it supposed to happen?

Those FATAL errors usually shouldn't happen, if you experience any, please let us know.
