[SOLVED] Updating Dedicated server to beta branch

[JayNic]

Hey guys,

 

I've followed the guide here: http://avorion.gamepedia.com/Setting_up_a_server

to get a dedicated server on another machine running, and it works. But I'd like to move it to the beta branch...

 

Is this guide still relevant? Is there a different way without using steamCMD and just copying files from the steamapps game dir? I've done some googling: but it seems much of the information is not relevant, or out of date. I'm a bit confused...

 

Thanks

[JayNic]

Solved it - Thanks to SkeletonKing for helping me out.

 

You need to shut everything down (steamCMD, AvorionServer.exe) duh-doy...

Then run the following steamCMD commands:

 

login anonymous

 

force_install_dir c:/your_dir

 

app_update 565060 -beta beta validate

 

NOTE: This will override any server.bat configuration that you've done, so make sure to re-write that before you start it up again. eg my server.bat file is:

 

bin\AvorionServer.exe --galaxy-name JayNic_Dedicated_Galaxy --admin my_steam_64_id --datapath C:\avorionserver\serverData --seed JayNic
