[2.0.7] Disabling the extension on the server

[keto]

Hello,

We're playing on a server, and today the game clients were updated via Steam to version 2.0.7.
It's now impossible to connect to the server running version 1.1.110, so I updated the server to 2.0.7.

However, when I try to connect to the server, it's asking for three mods (the space-age mods).

How can I disable these three mods? I already tried editing /mods/mod-list.json like this:

Code: Select all

{
  "mods": 
  [
    
    {
      "name": "base",
      "enabled": true
    },
    
    {
      "name": "elevated-rails",
      "enabled": false
    },
    
    {
      "name": "quality",
      "enabled": false
    },
    
    {
      "name": "space-age",
      "enabled": false
    }
  ]
}

But the mods are still not disabled on the server.

Code: Select all

Any suggestions?

Are you loading a save that was created with space-age enabled?

[keto]

No, the save file comes from version 1.1.110, so it should be without space-age mods.

I had set up a new server to try and understand how it works.
I noticed different behavior—when I modified the /mods/mod-list.json file and restarted the server, it automatically turned the "false" values back to "true."

With your question, I realized that the map might have an influence.
So, I created a third server and modified /mods/mod-list.json before launching the server.
This time it worked—Space Age is properly disabled.

Now I need to understand why my initial server doesn't behave the same way.
It seems like it's not reading the /mods/mod-list.json file. Maybe the link got broken during the update.

It's working now.
I started with a "fresh" server and, before launching it for the first time, I modified the /mods/mod-list.json file to set the new mods to false.

Then I copied the following files:

- data/server-settings.json
- saves/gamesave.zip
- player-data.json

I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

@keto

Were you able to resolve this?

I am having a similar issue.

Happy to hop into discord call to troubleshoot together

[keto]

Yes, I solved my problem. Starting from a new installation was much more effective.

I just hope I haven't forgotten any files to back up.
