Faka 0 Posted December 23, 2018 I need the APPID to make a dedicated server. Why can people rent a nitrado server and we can't host on our own? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajricho 0 Posted December 23, 2018 Please APPID you now have the unofficial servers up so please app id THANKS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drednoss 0 Posted December 23, 2018 How does that work? If we have a dedicated server will it only allow 150 players? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faka 0 Posted December 23, 2018 Max players should only be limited by your hardware and bandwidth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drednoss 0 Posted December 23, 2018 Yes but what about the map size. Will one server allow travel across the whole map or just a the one grid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooreace 5 Posted December 23, 2018 One server is ONE grid square. To cover the entire map it would require 144 servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erall0 10 Posted December 23, 2018 find that hard to believe as they just added 4.0 and upped there capacity by 400% with only 3 extra servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thekraken 3 Posted December 23, 2018 I agree, they should release the appid so we can host unofficial servers as I've had my dedicated server ready all day to host it just need the info from them. Obviously they have it as they've given it to all the game providers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically the game design requires people to fan out into surrounding islands. They unlocked it so we can do that automatically because they created a huge bottle-neck by forcing us all onto the same islands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thekraken 3 Posted December 23, 2018 We're talking about hosting our own servers, there infrastructure is fine but I have my own infrastructure and would host my own separate map from them which would alleviate the lag caused by 1000's of players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They added 3 servers around EVERY freeport server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drednoss 0 Posted December 23, 2018 If you host your own inhouse server, how many islands woudl you get? I dont understand. Do you get the whole map or just one small little area that probably has like 2 islands lol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sklex 64 Posted December 23, 2018 1 server = 1 square from what I understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neamhni 0 Posted December 23, 2018 I spoke with Nitrado yesterday about my server setup and was told they were waiting on files from the devs to set things up on their end before they made the option available for me to create my own setup. He also said that the devs use 256 servers in total for the entire (15x15?) map setup. For my dedicated server it would probably only be one square-ish in size and i’d have to use the island editor provided with the server files to setup how I wanted my map to look. Of course, everything still being new at that point it’s entirely possible that they didn’t have all the correct information or some of the info has changed since then. I am certainly curious as to how the mapping will work with private servers in regards to future modding. For instance, the airship and airplane they showcased as possibilities would seem to be quite limited on a private server if you could only effectively have one grid to work with. That’s not a lot of room to fly around in. Seems like some pieces in that equation might not be completely thought out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
