Resolved- WindowsHeadless Gm not visible in public game list

[supernet2]

Trying to figure out what i did wrong, i configured the C:\Users\supernet2\Desktop\Factorio Builds\F1\bin\x6 StartServer.bat

Before on 0.12.X worked with the batch command

Code: Select all

Factorio.exe --disallow-commands --start-server F3.zip

Now with 0.13.X i use command
With

Code: Select all

Factorio.exe --start-server "C:\Users\supernet2\Desktop\Factorio Builds\F1\saves\F1.zip"

To start server, BUT it doesn't show up in the visibility.

I configured my server-settings.example.json with

Code: Select all

{
  "name": "Supernet2 Test Server1",
  "description": "Windows headless test box",
  "tags": ["game", "tags"],
  "max_players": "10",

  "_comment_visibility": ["public: Game will be published on the official Factorio matching server",
                          "lan: Game will be broadcast on LAN",
                          "hidden: Game will not be published anywhere"],
  "visibility": "public",

  "_comment_credentials": "Your factorio.com login credentials. Required for games with visibility public",
  "username": "supernet2",
  "password": "XXXXXXXX",

  "_comment_token": "Authentication token. May be used instead of 'password' above."
  "token": "",

  "game_password": "",

  "_comment_verify_user_identity": "When set to true, the server will only allow clients that have a valid Factorio.com account",
  "verify_user_identity": true
}

So i made sure my password is identical to my factorio.com account made sure this was configured as well as making sure my config.ini was also configured with

What am i doing wrong? I understand it cannot find a specified file but i defined the file, and renamed it server-settings.json is it not registering it because its a .json?

[Ivajl]

Look at line 3 in the log, it takes your paths as two arguments instead of one. It is looking for a file called Factorio in the desktop.
Either remove the space in the path or put your path between two " marks
Example

Code: Select all

Factorio.exe --start-server "file path"

You need to do this for both the save file and settings file.

You sir are a god send, i tried that, before and it didn't work. So i did a complete reworking of my entire server setup and files, and it worked.

Solution?

Broken File pathway, invalid arguments within the server-settings.json (Missing commas IE , ) After some lines (Really weird as i was manually upgrading servers via the .zip archive, instead of through the internal update system) i assume the server-settings.example.json was broken from a 0.13.0 build, as thats what i upgraded everything from, i overwrite, not delete and start from scratch, anyway thanks a ton you helped me resolve my problem! And... wiping target directory entirely and reinstalling the .zip archive, and rebuilding it served to resolve the problem on my end
