    thanks in advance

    Hello


    When you're putting this code in where exactly are you putting the code and are you in just regular mode or expert mode? I compared it to my code on my server and it seems to be correct. If you are on non expert mode you just can past it right into the the custom game ini. Settings under the engine settings tab at the very bottom then save dino wipe and restart.


    If you're putting it under the actual ini file under expert mode you should shut the server down for 10 to 15 minutes then turn it back on and dino wipe.

    so basically i just copied and pasted what i had in the game ini and game setting ini from the beacon add on into nitrados expert page. hopefully it works now. and now the name of the server isnt showing up when searched. heres my game settings ini.

    and now my server wont show. everytime i try to change something in expert mode, it does not save and ends up going back to an old ini file. this software is is a gamble if its going to do what you tell it to do.

    i tried to change the name and now every thing is broke. i cant bring up admin commands, the stack mods are gone including all the items that were stacked. this software is such a crap shoot. it barely works and if we try to change something, it doesnt save and reverts to an old ini file. and changes the name to some default.

    Also if you're copying and pasting all of that into that expert ini part and not replacing the original stuff it's not going to work correctly. It's going to pretty much have two of everything in that expert mode. It's best to start out on regular mode. Kale all the changes from he user interface itself. The only code you would add into the custom game ini settings are the ones for the custom stacks, adding the dinos and of your changing what's in drops. Let's start fresh there.

    Cant have redundant code or it cancels outs. Also Beacon throws in a lot of lines that arent needed. I have had my server for several months, and have never had any issue. I have stack, aberration/extinction dinos, custom air drops, ect. A lot of the time its user error and not the softtware.

    I'm on Xbox on have used Beacon extensively. Updates have failed a couple times in the past, resulting in my server showing as running in Nitrado but not showing up in the server list. Some advice I can lend:


    1: ALWAYS download and backup your ini files to your computer prior to making the changes


    2. Stop the server - wait at least a few minutes


    3. Start a 'New' file in Beacon. Have Beacon download all of the ini files fresh - do not open an existing file (the couple times I had problems I had edited an open file from a previous Beacon change. I have not had any problems when starting anew and fresh)


    4. Make your changes - again, make sure the server has been down for at least 3 - 5 minutes. Save your changes


    5. Restart the server


    Alternative to having Beacon apply the changes automatically, you can open the Game.ini in the editor, select all (CTRL-A in Windows), copy (CTRL-C in Windows) and paste (CTRL-V in Windows) into the server game.ini. As previously stated, make sure there are no duplicates as they will cancel each other out. I CTRL-A / CTRL-V into the server game.ini to be sure I overwrite all...


    Good Luck..
