Factorio Forums

i'm trying to set up a headless server from the package version in win7, and play on the same machine.

i've...

• unzipped the 0.14.8 package to c:/program files
• created a server.bat file in bin/x64 with the following
  code

  Code: Select all

  factorio.exe --start-server saves/4.zip --allow-commands admins-only --autosave-interval 15 --autosave-slots 4 -c "c:\Program Files\Factorio_0.14.8\config\server-config.ini" --server-settings server-settings.json

• created \bin\x64\saves and copied my save "4.zip" to it.
• copied \config\config.ini file and created 'server-config.ini'
• changed write-data=__PATH__executable__\..\..\ to write-data=__PATH__executable__\..\..\server in 'server-config.ini'
• created the \server folder, and copied player-data.json to it.
• changed my port number in \config\config.ini to 34198
• opened server-settings.example.json in notepad. entered my data including login & token, and saved as server-settings.json in bin\x64

opening a console with admin privliges i cd to 'C:\Program Files\Factorio_0.14.8\bin\x64' hit [enter].
type 'server.bat' [enter]

and i get this what does this error mean, and how can i fix it please.
thanks for reading.

My guess would be an error in the server-settings.json file

thanks. can i PM you the file to check it out for me?

Sure

well i can't add an attachment to a PM so here is a snapshot (with my token changed)

IT VERKS! MUH HAHAHAHA!
