Common Issues

1. Where do I get my OAUTH token to host my server?

You can generate one here: https://alderongames.com/oauth/hosting-token

2. My server won't load my mod map, and just uses Panjura?

In addition to adding the Mod ID to GameUserSettings.ini, you must specify the modded map name in your Game.ini file.

For example, if you wish to use the map "The Grim Expanse," you must:

1. Add EnabledMods=UGC_M_DYV7XYEGX2_SK under the header [PathOfTitans.Mods] in your GameUserSettings.ini.
2. Add ServerMap=TheGrimExpanse under the header [/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession] in your Game.ini.

You can find the Mod ID by accessing the Mod List from the Main Menu of the game and selecting the mod to view its details. Make sure the map name is written exactly as specified in the mod files. Generally, this will be the same name as the mod, but you may want to check with the mod author to ensure you have the correct map name.

Sometimes the map mod may take a while to download, so if you are having issues, try restarting your server and waiting 10-15 minutes before joining for the first time.

3. How do I add modded creatures?

To add modded creatures, you'll need to add the Mod ID under the header [PathOfTitans.Mods] in your GameUserSettings.ini. You can find the Mod ID by accessing the Mod List from the Main Menu of the game and selecting the mod to view its details.

For more information about adding mods to your server, please visit Mod Setup.

4. Why don't my curveoverrides work?

Some abilities have overrides available but are not inherent to the playable character. For example, the Eotriceratops has a Tail Attack with a Bone Break Chance in its CSV file, but these overrides cannot be edited. If you encounter an override that should be available to the character but isn't functioning correctly, please report it to the Support Team for investigation.

5. My server is running, but doesn't show in the server list / users cannot connect.

This issue may be related to the ports used during the server setup. If your server is not appearing in the list, please check to ensure the ports are open properly. If your server is listed but users cannot connect, it may be due to the firewall blocking the connection, and you might need to disable it.

6. Some people are able to join the server while others aren't.

This typically happens after an update. If a server isn't properly updated, only users with the same update can join. This can also occur if the server is on the correct patch, but the user is not.

7. Some of my mods aren't showing up!

This might be due to a recent update to the main game, requiring mod developers to update their mods. Additionally, the mod may have been removed. Please check the Mod ID for zeros (0) instead of the letter O.

8. How many servers can I host?

Using the AUTH Token generated when creating a server, you can host up to 100 servers.

9. How can I have the same character data shared with multiple servers?

During server setup, you have the option to specify the location for saving the database. By setting this to -Database=Remote, you can host multiple servers and allow them to share the same database. This configuration also helps prevent data loss in case you accidentally delete your server folder.

For more information about server setup, please visit Server Setup.

9. How do I enable growth?

To enable growth, you will have to put bServerGrowth=true in the Game.ini file under the header [/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession]. Placing GlobalPassiveGrowthPerMinute=0 adds additional passive growth per second to all dinosaurs. Full growth = 1 so a good value for this might be 0.005, which means a player would take 200 minutes (3.3 hours) to reach adulthood. Growth amount currently applies equally across all dinosaurs. Setting this to 0 disables passive growth.

10. Can I set the amount of Marks and Growth earned through quests?

Yes, you can adjust these settings in the Game.ini file under the header [/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession]. Add the following configurations: QuestMarksMultiplier= and QuestGrowthMultiplier=. Enter a number after the equal sign, save the file, and restart the server. This will multiply the amount of XP and marks earned from quests by the specified value.

11. How to make dinosaurs spawn in a specific place?

You can move the spawn points manually around the map to a single location via Creator Mode and then saving it. Load the Creator Mode save when the server starts and people spawning will be at those spawn points.

For more information about server setup, please visit Creator Mode.

12. How do I allow or disable certain dinos?

To disable dinosaurs, add DisallowedCharacters=DinoName beneath the [/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession] header of your Game.ini file. Any dinosaurs listed will not appear in the users' Character Menu and cannot be created.

Alternatively, if a server should only allow certain official dinosaurs, use AllowedCharacters=DinoName. Any dinosaurs listed will be the only ones available in the users' Character Menu and can be created. Note that using this method will block any new dinosaurs added to the game until they are added to the AllowedCharacters list.

For more information, please visit Enabling/Disabling Dinosaurs.

14. How do I enable replays on my server?

You can turn on server replay recording to record everything that happens on your server by setting the bServerAllowReplayRecording= to true beneath the [/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession] header of your Game.ini file.

15. Can a server owner accept donations to run a server and are there restrictions as to what benefits I can offer to my donators?

Yes, server owners can accept donations to run a server. However, if benefits are offered with these donations, there are Exclusive Feature limitations that must be followed as outlined in the Server Hosting Agreement.

16. What do I do if someone is breaking TOS on my server?

They can be reported through the in-game Player Report system, which sends the report to the Alderon Support team. For more information, please visit our support article How to Report a Player.

Note: Reporting a player is not the only action you can take. We recommend muting aggressive or abusive users. For instructions, see How to Mute a Player.. You can read our Terms of Service for more information on what behaviour may warrant a player report.

17. Can I add bots to Discord in order to run my servers?

While we don't offer an official bot for this purpose, it's possible to implement one for your Discord server. You can connect through an RCON client such as mcrcon. More information about RCON configurations can be found in Source RCON
