adminlist.txt with -persistentDataPath not working correct

[ich777]

Hi,
I've running a V-Rising dedicated server but I have maybe found a bug.
Since I'm running the server with the start parameter -persistentDataPath shouldn't the adminlist.txt override the one from the template directory (...\VRisingServer_Data\StreamingAssets\Settings).

The adminlist.txt which ist located in the persistentDataPath in the Settings folder is completely ignored.
Am I doing something wrong here?

I'm seeing the same issue when trying to use the ServerHostSettings.json file under the specified folder.

[ich777]

@IceOfWraith on what host are you running the server?

[IceOfWraith]

This is running on Windows 11 Pro.

[ich777]

@IceOfWraith this is strange since my ServerHostSettings.json works fine where the adminlist.txt doesn't not.

Let's say you have the -persistentDataPath set to C:/VRising/save-data have you created a Settings folder in the persistent data path so that the full path is: C:/VRising/save-data/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json

[IceOfWraith]

No I have not. I don't see that as a requirement on the Wiki here. I can try it tomorrow. Thank you!

ServerGameSetings.json

this config is ignored in persistentDataPath

@gOOvER Make sure that you don't have a preset selected in the host settings. It must be an empty string, otherwise it won't pick it up. See #20 (comment)

it's empty :/

"GameSettingsPreset": "",

Is the "Settings" directory required in -persistentDataPath?

When i modify the settings in

VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json

it work; but not in my -persistentDataPath

Yes.

You should also have a Saves folder in there or am I wrong?

Save is autocreated

Thank you; missed that with the settings folder :) now it works

Can you also try if the adminlist.txt works? On my system everything works but not the adminlist.txt file.

I have to edit the adminlist.txt Which is located in: ...\VRisingServer_Data\StreamingAssets\Settings so that it actually works (this file will be overwritten after a update from the game is pushed).

That was the main reason why I opened the Issue. 😉

i can confirm this. adminlist.txt is ignored in own folder.

From the log:

Saved FileUserList to: Z:\home\container\VRisingServer_Data\StreamingAssets\Sett
ings\adminlist.txt

You have to also put the adminlist.txt in the Settings folder but I think it will be the same like as for me...
Hope they will fix it soon.

it is in the Settings folder. The log shows only, which file is used ;)

This made me lose admin when I updated my server with the patch so one to be careful of if you are doing forceupdate with steamcmd

[KnightArch]

I can confirm this issue. I`ll try and report later when no one is connected to the server if changing the server preset solves this issue but the thing is that it should work even with some preset defined in the host settings.

+1

The admin and ban lists files only work in the default folder, they are ignored in the -PersistentDataPath folder.
Other config files work fine.
