[posila] Headless --start-server-load-scenario doesn't work right

[badgamernl]

When I run the command:

Code: Select all

./bin/x64/factorio.exe --start-server-load-scenario scenario-name --preset rail-world --server-settings ./data/server-settings.json

In the Factorio root, it starts the server with the scripts but it doesn't generate a new map... every time it's the same map. I have included the log file, there is also no signs of lines showing it is generating the map.

There is also no info on this on the wiki: https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer

Hope I am doing it right

If you need the scenario I am using I can pm it but it also happens on base/freeplay and base/sandbox (the base ones I have tested)

It might be related to this: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=51254

Also please note if the scenario contains blueprint.dat, the map will be always the same by design.

The scenario doesn't have any blueprint.dat, that's why I also tested the base scenarios

I tested it in 0.15.32 but it still doesn't seem to work

It still generates the same map over and over, I deleted map saves in between, tried (everything) but I can't figure it out.

Using map gen settings arg also doesnt work

Code: Select all

./bin/x64/factorio.exe --start-server-load-scenario scenario-name --map-gen-settings ./data/map-gen-settings.example.json --server-settings ./data/server-settings.json

It does still use the script from the scenario tho...

It also generates the same map on every computer I try

I have tested in 0.15.33 but still doesn't work...

this time I also tried to do it with the command:

Code: Select all

./bin/x64/factorio.exe --start-server-load-scenario scenario-name --map-gen-settings ./data/map-gen-settings.example.json --map-settings ./data/map-settings.example.json --server-settings ./data/server-settings.example.json

but no success.

Hope you are able to find a fix soon because generating a map locally and putting it on the server is no fun (generating the map locally does fix that the first player that joins doesn't get admin a problem that still exists in 0.15 headless, well problem it should be an option)

I am sorry for not fixing it yet. It probably will come in 0.16

--map-gen-settings, --map-settings and --preset currently work only with --create parameter (which doesn't allow to specify a scenario for a change) and I agree they would be useful with --start-server-load-scenario

[badgamernl]

Sad to hear... Do you maybe know another way around it ( a way to do it on the server )? Because --create doesn't like if we copy the scenario files in after the map creation.

nvm, on_init was causing the problems but the community dev fixed it...

Thanks for the report.
Fixed for next release.
