Cradz

cheat takeallstructure didn't give me the claim flags (merging didn't do that either when we were doing that to resolve the bed issue before this patch).

I basically went around to all company buildings and used giveallstructures (thankfully most were connected or small builds since we just started) and then used DestoryTribeId to destroy the old company based on the company id on the flag and the flag(s) deleted. Obviously don't do that until you've taken all the structures back.  

Only way we've found is to have two characters, one creates a brand new company (made after the server restarted) and then have the company with the bed issue merge into the new company. You can then keep placing new beds down and they work. After restart any new beds placed after the restart will not work (ones merged or placed after merge but before server restart continue to work).

You do lose any claim flags during the merge and can't port to those beds until a new flag is placed but all structures, boats merge. Beds on boats are usable right away.

The bug appears to be with companies created before a server restart. Beds placed do not show up in the company log but show up in the world but you can't see them on the Atlas Map or port to/from them.

Sorry but sometimes it's just not about you.

I'm happy with this patch being pushed out so quickly.

Still some stuff to fix (new beds are still bugged on my server) but so happy the Server Password was fixed.  

Agreed.

Most like to focus on the negatives though rather than see the big picture of what Blackwood presents.

I like:

• The islands have a bit more character to them.
• Ability to have old style claim flags.
• FOY and PowerStones without doing the stupid cave runs.  
• I can host this server for me and my friends without spinning up a billion servers.
• Map size. I'm not interested in sailing for hours so the size is perfect for me.
• It's given me motivation to check out the devkit and see if I can do something similar.

I do hope they fix the Server Password and Bed issues though.

Yes, kudos to Iso and those who helped put this together.

On the server I'm hosting the quick fix we've found is to just merge with a brand new company. You have to place claim flags back down though so yea.. would be nice if this is fixed as well as the server password issue.

I'm hosting my own Blackwood server btw and you don't need the devkit to do it.

I don't use nitrado and have full access to the server so I use a bat file with the following to use Blackwood:

start ShooterGameServer.exe Blackwood?ServerPassword=XXX?ServerAdminPassword=XXX?MaxPlayers=20?ReservedPlayerSlots=0?QueryPort=57561?Port=5761? -log -server -NoSeamlessServer -NoBattlEye

app_update 1006030 validate

IF....IF   we get our server up and running, how can we get and use the whitelist/blacklist abilities of an admin so no randoms join?

We can't connect to the server and can't see it in the list.

I tried Whitelist and set ReservedPlayerSlots to the same value as MaxPlayers and it gives a Server Full message even if you're on the Whitelist. I thought that would work ~shrug~ 

Is there a different flag for Whitelist only joining?

I can ban but have to see them on the server to do that (I do sleep though  )

I have my Blackwood server up, just a small one formates and stuff,  still working on that password too,  tried in the bat file, or in the gus, under session name, I tried ServerPassword= and SessionPassword=

 

do caps matter?

 

It should work under ServerSettings (ServerAdminPassword does work) but yea ServerPassword doesn't for me or several others on the Atlas discord.

Really annoying having random people show up on my server. 

When I look at Server Info via the Admin Menu it does show Server Password *** so it's being set but just not being enforced when somebody joins.

You CAN PW a server! And you change all of the server settings exactly the same way you do with a normal Atlas server or Ark server for that matter

Harvest Rates and breeding are in the game.ini
XP is all in the GUS

 What's the name of your server with a password? I have yet to see a Blackwood server with a password set.

Yea.. filter by your server name too as not all Blackwood severs show (which is good right now as you can't set a password)

Yup my issue was I had set a new folder on my bat to start in and then removed that later so I was editing on the wrong game.ini .. doh!

Now all good and my exp and harvesting rates are increased.

I have this in a .bat so I can run via a shortcut

start ShooterGameServer.exe Blackwood?ServerPassword=XXX?ServerAdminPassword=XXX?MaxPlayers=20?ReservedPlayerSlots=0?QueryPort=57561?Port=5761? -log -server -NoSeamlessServer -NoBattlEye

.. oh and I might have just seen why it's not picking up my game.ini .. might be using the original folder as I redid that .bat lol

Anybody set their Blackwood server to increase harvesting, exp, etc?

Tried settings in game.ini and doesn't seem to work.

Can't set server password either (seen others with this issue on discord too).

Edit. I was editing the wrong .ini file as I was using AltSaveDirectoryName and then removed that later so it was using the default directory.

Still can't set ServerPassword though.

Nice, we were looking for Iridium :3 

J11. SE and S of Ellingleche Archipelago we have ramps up to tons of it.

We also have crystal, coal, and salt.

Well now I know the real answer to this question.

Wipe and no claim flags on PvE after march update.

Had a real blast with this game and I certainly got my monies worth from it and will think back fondly of my time here (well except the griefing).

Bon voyage Atlas.

The fastest way to make me walk away from a game is to do nothing about griefing and exploiting.  The fact that they've officially stated, through implication, that they don't care about griefers and exploiters at this time is enough for me to not touch the official servers for now.  Why would I want to when I know that griefers have the devs' blessing to be <snip>?  Luckily there are some great unofficial servers out there.

This.

Any other game I'd have walked away but I've been having a ton of fun on official (perhaps mainly due to the group I'm playing with) but every time I zone in to our "grief area" that still has a "wall" of rafts my enthusiasm for the game and company behind this takes another hit. 

Yes they do but it does take a while as they are obviously snowed under with tickets.

Do not respond in kind to those people as you'll just end up banned yourself.

Which UI? The company UI or when you're accepting an invite?

In case you're talking about the company UI, they need to invite you to their company and you hold down E while looking at them and choose the merge option.

We just did one last night and it's still there and it does need to be the company owner who accepts that. The person inviting just needs to be able to invite.
