Hi AI,

Just wanted to thank you for the stellar support.   I'm up and running, so thanks for the vanilla XML file, and "closing" this ticket.   The server 'sees' the file as evidenced by the game browser seeing the server's metadata (server name, description, etc).

When I patch the server to v1.4.6, I'll post a copy of the logs.   Meanwhile, here's v1.4.4 starting up:

Thanks for the link!

Just to prove I'm not crazy, here are screencaps of the folders where SettingsServer.xml should be.   I used to work helpdesk, so I totally get not believing what a user tells you without evidence.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jl1M4COBarellaVlp6VXp5VVU/view?usp=sharing

I'll see if the server will read the file.   Thanks again!

Meh, I'll just blast the save and use the console to refund credits.   Geeking out there, sorry.

Thanks again for the fast help.

If you can point me to a vanilla serverconfig.xml, I'll put it on and see if I can get it to read. 

Thanks Much!

Wow, thanks for the timely responses, AI.

Yeah, launching the server twice, once to let it fail and close it, seems to work after a patch, so thanks for following up.   Good to know about some things not showing up (hacking ministations) on a 1.3 original save, and the minor errors on 1.4 are to be expected and not a hint at bigger problems.

At the risk of being an annoying user:
Is there a way to migrate save data, even if editing XML?   Looks (at a very brief glance) like the save files are encoded, otherwise I'd crack them open and see what's possible.

On ServerConfig.xml, I'm not foolin' ya, it's not there and not being created.    Searched both hard drives for it.   Windows Event log doesn't indicate any permissions block, and server doesn't log anything.   Can you point me to a vanilla serverconfig.xml that I can download and see if the server will read it?

Server is launching in dedicated mode with "--dedicated", confirmed in log:

Thanks again for the stellar support!

New info: Starting the server a second time (after it fails) results in a normal start and loads the world state.

I'd call user error (on me), but I swear, I touch nothing.   

Oddity: Server still never creates serverconfig.xml anywhere, and on a normal start, server does report one odd error:

Thanks again in advance!

Thanks for the fast response, AI.

Was able to recreate the error.    Copying just the core.pak loads from a known good install, the server loads normally (log reports 1.4, but there aren't any hacking locations in space).  Replacing the entire tree results as you suggest (and I thought would work too) causes the server to barf (logs below).   

Should have clarified: This is a Windows 7 host running as --dedicated, from my created /Server directory inside VoidExapnse.   This is a vanilla install with no mods.

Side issue but possibly related: Server never creates ServerConfig.xml, even when prompted with -new.  Searched the whole hard drive... not in /VoidExpanse, not in /Users.

Thanks so much in advance!

[Is there a good process for migrating characters from 1.3 to 1.4?]

Evening All,

Congrats AtomicTorch.  My son and I are really enjoying this game, and hope to recruit my LAN buddies to it.

Love the content in v1.4, but I started our characters on our server on v1.3.    The server patched to v1.4 barfs when trying to load the world state from v1.3 with "load 0" at the console, throwing an exception and errors about the <other> tag in its XML.   

The server ran fine when initially installed.  When the clients patched via Steam to 1.4, everything was still peachy.  I never patched the Server, so well done on the client/server backwards compatibility. 

Is there a good process for migrating characters from 1.3 to 1.4?

I've tried:
+ Making a backup of the Saves_Multiplayer Folder.
+ Patched server by copying core.pak from VoidExpanse/Core to VoidExpanse/Server (where I run the Server app from).

Restoring the core file to v1.3 loads the saves as normal.

Please tell me there's a way to migrate characters.      Even if its hacking XML.   

My 8-year old is counting on me (and you, via proxy.)   ;>   Thanks much for the advice!   And if you need help with documentation, I'd love to contribute.

Cheers,
Emiraven
