Recruit
Hello, I'm in need of a little assistance.

My community is going to be taking part in the Shieldwall event this weekend and wish to get some practise in, they've asked me to get a server up for them and my server provider has attempted to. So far he has been unable to, he said it doesnt work like other mods.

Can a developer or anyone who knows, explain how to set a server to this module.

I appreciate it, thank you.
 
There is no Shieldwall Event this Sunday. It's just a standard Víkingr event, albeit much larger than a SWE.

As for hosting, I cannot help you yet, I'll need to ask the host of the SWE for advice and ask him to post here.

Yup.
Everything required to host Víkingr is held within the download. If you did not realise this, you should probably turn off the PC.

I understand that mate, however he is still struggling. If anyone could walk me through it I'd much appreciate it.

Or for the simpplicity of things, let us contact your friend directly. Us being someone who knows what they're talking about.

Given up being the middle man and doing it myself now using FileZila, if anyone could post here or by PM exactly what it is I should be doing differently I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'll go on a limb here and say that it's an issue with setting up WSE. Though how to fix that should be explained somewhere already.

I fiddled with the files and successfully started a server. Here are my files, which I just threw into the Vikingr main folder:

Just set the server name and admin password and place these two text files into the Vikingr main folder. Then simply run the bat file.

There are two Vikingr folders, the main one from the install, then inside that and modules another called Vikingr. Which am I uploading to the server and to which do I had the two files from above? Thank you for the rapid response
 
Dansk viking said:
The one containing "mb_warband_dedicated.exe", that is the main folder, i.e. not the one inside "modules".

Okay, I got tat, which of the two Vikingr folders am I uploading to the server, the main one seems way too big.

You need to upload everything as far as I know.

Basically this. As Vikingr runs on Warband Script Enhancer you obviously need to get the WSE into the server as well. Some warband hosting providers give that as an option, but in this case you'll just apparently have to suffer through the long upload :wink:

That is where I was going wrong, I thought it could take THAT long to upload. So I was uploading what was inside the module folder. Now I'm just letting the 2700+ files or something transfer for the main folder haha :razz: Thank you
