Server Request Eco

[Astaelan]

Would be nice to have a system to maintain the newly released game Eco.
I will look at writing this myself if I find the time, but posted this issue in case someone else gets to it first.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/382310/Eco/
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/eco-releases/

Requires Mono (Unity based), and not a whole lot else.

If you're not familiar with AWS, the second link will give you an XML manifest of the filenames available at the same location, simply add the filename to the same link to obtain it, for example:

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/eco-releases/EcoServer_v0.7.0.0-beta-staging-b1111b5c.zip

I haven't done much in Linux yet, but I'd also like to see an Eco Server here - so I just tried it.

Looks like you need to own the game to use the server.....I hate it when they do that. I will have to try and contact the game developers and see if they can alter this

[dgibbs64]

I have emailed them to see if they will change to anonymous login.

Or at least providing you with a license... Considering what you are doing for them...

[dgibbs64]

They are passing the info to there developers and shoudl be contacting me sometime next week

Hey @dgibbs64 @GlennKintscher maybe its that of interest.
Looking here: https://github.com/kicker22004/ECO_LINUX_SERVER_MANAGER

He is using not Steam to Fetch the Serverfiles and its more Universal without Steam.
A selection of which version you want at your Server would be possible too with this method.

Thanks for the info @Holli82. SteamCMD is by far the preferred method for LinuxGSM as its really easy to install and update game servers. I will not rule out this method as it uses this link to get the server version info https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/eco-releases/ so could work. It would however take a lot more time than using SteamCMD
