If config window doesn't show, click the tray icon and select "Util CONFIG" toward the top. - Required fields: Server Folder, Config File, and Local IP. 3) Click "Restart Util" 4) Your server should be up-to-date and running! FRESH SERVER: Use EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility to download install a fresh dedicated server 1) Run EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.exe 2) Adjust desired settings in the Config window. If config window doesn't show, click the tray icon and select "Util CONFIG" toward the top. - Required fields: Server Folder and Local IP. (The Config File will be created when the server is downloaded). 3) Click "Restart Util" 4) Your server files will be downloaded from Steam. Once done, your server will start. 5) From the tray icon, click "Server Config" (toward the bottom). Make desired changes. 6) Restart server and util. 7) Congrats!

To shut down your server: - Right-click on the EmpyrioServerUpdateUtility icon and select EXIT. To restart your server: - Run EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.exe ----------------- TIPS & COMMENTS ----------------- Comments: - It is suggested that you RENAME or COPY the default dedicated.yaml file as it may be overwritten with server updates. - Telnet password can only contain letters and numbers. - There are a lot of parameters that can be set in the EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.ini. All parameters can be left at the default value, except... I recommend changing the default dedicated.yaml filename so that it does not get overwritten with each server update or file validation. - If running multiple instances of this utility, each copy must be in a separate folder. - If running multiple instances of this utility, rename EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.exe to a unique name for each server. The phoenix icon in the lower right will display the filename. For example: I run 6 servers, so I renamed the EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.exe files to Empy-STABLE.EXE, Empy-EXP.EXE, CONAN-2X.EXE, CONAN-PIPPI.EXE, CONAN-LITMAN.EXE, & ATLAS.EXE. - If using the "Request Restart From Browser" option, you have to use your local PC's IP address as the server's IP. ex: "Server Local IP=192.168.1.10" (127.0.0.1 and external IP do not work). Tips: - Use the "Run external script during server updates" feature to run a batch file that disables certain mods during a server update to prevent incompatibilities. --------------------------- UPCOMING PLANNED FEATURES --------------------------- ---------------- DOWNLOAD LINKS ---------------- Latest Version: http://www.phoenix125.com/share/empyrion/EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.zip Previous Versions: http://www.phoenix125.com/share/empyrion/empyrionhistory/ Source Code (AutoIT): http://www.phoenix125.com/share/empyrion/EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility.au3 GitHub: https://github.com/phoenix125/EmpyrionServerUpdateUtility Website: http://www.Phoenix125.com Discord: http://discord.gg/EU7pzPs Forum: https://phoenix125.createaforum.com/index.php More ServerUpdateUtilities available: Conan Exiles, 7 Days to Die, and Atlas. --------- CREDITS --------- - Based on Dateranoth's ConanExilesServerUtility-3.3.0 and 7dServerUtility (THANK YOU!) https://gamercide.org/forum/topic/9296-7-days-to-die-server-utility/ https://gamercide.org/forum/topic/10558-conan-exiles-server-utility/ ----------------------- DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- ====> Request Restart From Browser <==== - If enabled on the server, use to remotely restart the server. - When restarting, an announcement will be made in-game, on Discord, and in Twitch if enabled, with the set duration of delay (warning). - Set Password in INI file to save, or type each time. - Restart using IP or Domain Name - Restart commands are now expecting HTTP headers, and can be sent to the server from a web browser using the format http://IP:PORT?restart=user_pass. The utility will respond if the password is accepted or not. There is also a limit for max password attempts. After 15 tries in 10 minutes the requesting IP will be locked out for 10 minutes. - 404 Responses will be sent if the RestartKey does not match or the header is incorrect. You can enable Debugging for a full output to the log what is being received by the server if you have any trouble. - These Are the Allowed Characters in the RestartCode (Password) 1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@$%^&*()+=-{}[]\|:;./? Usage Example: INI SETTINGS [Game Server IP] ListenIP=192.168.0.1 [Use Remote Restart ?yes/no] UseRemoteRestart=yes [Remote Restart Request Key http://IP:Port?RestartKey=RestartCode (Ex: 192.168.1.30:57520?restart=password)] ListenPort=57520 RestartKey=restart RestartCode=password - You can have multiple passwords. For example: RestartCode=password1,pass2,pwd3 In a standard web browser, type in the URL http://192.168.1.30:57520?restart=password. The Server would compare the pass and find that it is correct. It would respond with 200 OK And HTML Code stating the server is restarting. ----------------- VERSION HISTORY ----------------- (2020-12-12) v1.0.5 Bug Fix: Now closes EAH - Fixed: EAH failed to close.
