Windows Can't configure server

Your autoconfig.cfg is in your KAG Beta folder (main directory). If by some chance you don't have it then run ForceUpdate.bat which is also located in your KAG Beta Folder, this will fetch any missing files and replace them with shiny new ones.

 

Delete App/version.txt and launch the game again, or use forceupdate.bat and it should return.

 

Sorry, it's a little different on windows, you'lll need to configure Base/Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm - there is a readme file included with the game, called "Server_setup_info.txt" here is a snip of it - There is more information also available on the wiki, like a full list of parameters.

Spoiler: Instructions included with KAG

Configure your server with these config files:

CONFIG FILE: "Base/Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm"

Some parameters worth considering:

m_width = 290; - map width in tiles
m_height = 110; - map height
m_seed = 0; - map random seed
sv_maxplayers = 32;
sv_ip = `0`; - assign a specific IP port or leave 0
sv_port = 50301; - port on which the server listens
sv_rconpassword = ``; - rcon password for remote admin
sv_name = `KAG Server`; - the name of your server
sv_info = `I like Cheese`; - info description which appears in the servers list
sv_fastdeltas = 0; - 1 means less CPU intensive but more bandwidth intensive

AUTOSTART SCRIPT: "Base/Scripts/dedicated_autostart.gm"

In this file you can specify what map loads on start. To load a specific map use this command:
LoadMap( "Maps/autosave.png" );
To generate a random map use this command:
LoadMap( "" );

This file contains some sane default cycles and rule sets for common modes
of gameplay, which are easily controlled by swapping the start parameter near
the top of the file

 

Maybe make sure you have appropriate permissions on the KAG directory, do you get any errors when launching the game normally and what happens when you launch the server without the files needed?

 

Hi @Proioxis,

Since you'r running the new King Arthur's Gold and not 'classic', you shouldn't need autoconfig.gm. That file was only used in KAG classic. For the new version, on windows you should have a file called autoconfig.cfg in your default directory. It contains many settings that you'll want to change, such as max players, server password, gamemode, etc. Changing those settings (while the server is down) should be able to do what you need.

If this doesn't help, can you upload a screenshot of the filenames contained in your KAG folder (the one that has the App/ Base/ Cache/, etc folders? I'd like to see what's going on there.

You can also join the irc channel by opening the chat in the 'Chat' option at the very top of this page and query me ( type /query jackitch)

 

Have you tried running the dedicatedserver.bat first as well? I know that in earlier versions the autoconfig file was only created after running the server for the first time. If it doesn't, manually place the file I've attached in the folder and edit its values. Hopefully that'll work for you.

 

Hiya, I don't believe the steam copy gives you all the needed files to run a server, yet. Download a copy from the kag2d.com site and use that to run your server, rather than your steam copy.

Can be downloaded from here: http://kag2d.com/en/download

The file you're after will be in the KAGserv/Base/autoconfig.cfg
