Server Dedicated server, workshop and webadmin.

[zephkiel]

Hello,

I was using the dedicated server tool just fine until now, putting my maps manually after having downloaded them on 3rd party websites, and editing the PCServer-KFGame.ini file to incorporate them into webadmin.
Then i was using the webadmin to change the map if needed, and me and my friends were happy.

Now that we can use the workshop, i tried the instruction written here :
http://wiki.tripwireinteractive.com...loor_2)#Setting_Up_Steam_Workshop_For_Servers[url]http://wiki.tripwireinteractive.com/...op_For_Servers[/URL]

Everything is fine, i edit the PCServer-KFEngine.ini, i launch the server, it takes a while to download everything at once, and i go into the webadmin, and i see no maps.

Ok, i go into the PCServer-KFGame.ini file, and add one for testing.
It shows in the list of available map in the webadmin, but if i try to change the map, it doesn't work.

I check the files onto the dedicated server folder, and they are all put into common\killingfloor2\Binaries\Win64\steamapps\work shop\content\232090 like the client-side.

Thing is, if i put them manually into \common\killingfloor2\KFGame\BrewedPC\Maps it works.

How come? Is that just a webadmin thing? Did i do something wrong? Because it's a chore.

Downloaded map with the workshop server functionality, still need you to edit the PCServer-KFGame.ini

The maps are located in KFGame/Cache/ folder not in the Binaries/Win64/blabla (these folders are the working folder of the workshop function, not the actual used folders for the server, it is like a temp folder, the server will NOT look into this folder for maps)

So, open the KFGame/Cache folder, you will see the subfolders which are named after the workshop item ID, so open each of them to find the exact filename of the map, then add it like if the map was in the KFGame/BrewedPCServer/Maps/

If you have nothing in your server KFGame/Cache/ folder, things went wrong, surely because you are running your server on the same machine as your game, AND with steam running. Kill everything BUT the server, and it will work.

edit: give server log file too, it contains important information.

Hello Romano,

You were right, i had my steam client launched at the same time. Launching the dedicated server and waiting for everything to finish was the solution.

Thanks for the help, glad there is others french on the board
