Here is a new beta version, which has a significan number of changes… which unfortunately implies there may be some bugs lurking.
The two main changes are the possibility to skin the web page elements individually using CSS classes, and the big one is a major change in the way the Steam branches are handled.
1.7.0 (25 may 2023)
Improved the DSL web status page:
- Added a few class names on the web status page
- Added some proper buttons to login, start, stop and restart server
- Added some proper categories with list views for the displayed parameters
Changed to the branch selection:
- Changed the way the live/testlive/publicbeta branch selection works
- Added support for the server executable name changing from ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe to ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Shipping.exe
Dedicated Server Launcher 1.7.0
So the major change is that the two combos to select the branch and the user name are gone, it was too complicated to change that to support having different steam ids, so I removed all that and moved the information to the menu, which gives us also some real estate in the UI we can use later.
The version used (Live / Public Beta) has migrated into a new .INI file at the root of the folder, so it’s independent of the currently installed version.
The Live version stays deployed at the current location, so your installs of the game should work the same way as they did before.
Switching back and forth displays this dialog, so it should be obvious when that happens.
A message (“The server is switching from from ‘Live’ to ‘Public Beta’”) is also sent on Discord when you confirm the operation.
The public beta on the other hand is stored in a different folder along side the Live one, the reason being that SteamCMD really did not like installing two different products in the same location.
There is also an additional “replicate settings” options in the menu, which copies the settings of the other installation to the current one because settings are not shared: Each install has its own set of ini files, list of mods, game db, etc…
So please, give a shot at the version, and if you find any problem just post here.
Thanks!
