Cross Server Chat

[Shadowsong]

Yes mine is working and for the space, all you needed to do was this "MAPNAME ", Space after the end of your name! But yes mine is working no crashes no issues except the steam name is cut off.

Mind sending me a copy of your config that's working so i can compare? I was literally using the below setup, but obviously including a random number for my key, then listing all my servers as loopback address + port and finally a space inbetween the quotes for crosschatmapnameoveride.

{
"CrossChatKey":"randomkey",
"CrossChatMapNameInclude":true,
"RconServers":[
"127.0.0.1:32300",
"127.0.0.1:32301"
],
"CrossChatMapNameOverride":" ",
"Async":true
}

I really don't think it's something on my end. it's the same/similar error you get from running "RCON" client from a system where it continues to get regular disconnects. it's a known issue with RCON in general. Another user also posted the error recieved, and it's only after alot of communication back and forth. if there isn't alot of chatter, no issues.. alot of chatter, and you get the error .. but it doesn't crash (at least not for me) it simply stops the plugin from working.

LINK to other post with image of error :: https://arkserverapi.com/threads/cross-server-chat.866/post-7213 .. NOTE :: the error I'm referring to is the one in yellow that it says it can't send to RCON.

Btw, also have firewall for LOCAL turned off, and since all communication is passed via 127, it never hits the firewall (monitored with wireshark to confirm it wasn't doing any weird NAT misdirection or anything.)

Well idk I have no errors no issues in my log just chat as it comes through. Same with Rcon on my phone I never miss a msg or have errors so i'm not sure of this Rcon issue. Ran my 6 Arks the same no issues with Rcon ever. Hope you figure it out

I told you my setup everything is the same here except I use numbers for my key not a name. And my map name is "Cross Chat ", with a space on the end as shown That simple! Also I use my Machine ip 10.0.0.25 not 127.0.0.1.

Here is what mine looks like


{
"CrossChatKey":"xxxxxxxx", - These are numbers not a name
"CrossChatMapNameInclude":true,
"RconServers":[
"10.0.0.25:27024",
"10.0.0.25:27034",
"10.0.0.25:27051",
"10.0.0.25:27064",
"10.0.0.25:27077",
"10.0.0.25:27091",
"10.0.0.25:27114",
"10.0.0.25:27127",
"10.0.0.25:27141"
],
"CrossChatMapNameOverride":"(Cross Chat) ", - Space here at the end so it's spaced in-game
"Async":true
}

Ok thanks, only major difference i can see from mine then is the local IP and not the loopback address. Worth ago i guess! How many people do you have online across your cluster normally?

I have an average of 25 on all day with lots and lots of chat. Still no issues at all.

@GeekGoggles
Edit: I still use Tobis Ark Cross Server chat on my Ark Cluster and it's perfectly smooth and has not crashed once, that's why i was wondering if his method may be of some help in getting this working smoothly for everyone (even if it is not as efficient). https://arkserverapi.com/threads/unmaintained-ark-cross-server-chat.54/

That version, or process, for Atlas is virtually impossible. It will only work across a single machine.

 

[smooreace]

I had this running on a 4x4 hybrid across 5 machines with no issues. Didnt like the "ocean" crap. The whole hybrid thing is why I stopped using it though.

Do you think it may cause an issue if the RCON ports are next to each other? I mean it shouldn't try to use another port but i've seen stranger things happen.

Well I usually try to do 3 ports apart for anything. But even that can be too close depending on the game server. Mine look weird cause I have my query and ports in between all my Rcon ports. It could be worth a shot to maybe space your Rcon ports out by 3-5.

Yea will do that, i have 5 ports apart for my game, query and seamless but never thought for RCON. Will give things another go!

Just make that a rule I have been hosting for many many years. And ports 3-5 apart are always good Not being a smart ass or tooting my horn just saying that's a good rule to always go by, prevents any port conflict. Let me know if you get it working always glad to help out the community as I can ;P

@GeekGoggles just tried with the IP instead of the loopback address and am getting this - Worth trying my external IP do you think?

Via ASM i can broadcast fine and that's setup to use the same port and the 10.0.0.7 IP.

Config:

{
"CrossChatKey":"######",
"CrossChatMapNameInclude":true,
"RconServers":[
"10.0.0.7:32300",
"10.0.0.7:32305",
"10.0.0.7:32310",
"10.0.0.7:32315",
"10.0.0.7:32320",
"10.0.0.7:32325",
"10.0.0.7:32330",
"10.0.0.7:32335",
"10.0.0.7:32340",
"10.0.0.7:32345",

Idk man I write my own .bat files I don't use managers of any type. And the only Rcon I use is on my phone. And I have not seen that error either my servers all boot up green. Wish I had more information but I gave you all I have lol.

And that ones weird too maybe re-download and start with a fresh server again. Currently having no issues with the plugin been running it almost 48 hours no crashes or errors. Might help to clear the Redis too. I added my plugins then started all fresh saves. And will do the same until my plugin collection is updated.

No worries, my servers do boot up fine all looks perfect. That message only displays when your ingame trying to use chat, it then just throws the error in cmd suggesting it cannot connect to RCON. Despite that being the local IP of the machine -_- Annoyingly it works with the 127 address, but then i had crashes. Though i haven't re-tried 127 with the gap between the ports yet and i could try my external IP.

 

[Lexacerbate]

Iol it works if you follow what I have posted. I got one guy up and running lastnight. Just ask nicely

my host fixed it for me i apologize i love the app i was just pissy. lots of love

 

[GeekGoggles]

my host fixed it for me i apologize i love the app i was just pissy. lots of love

Glad to hear it all good. We all have been there!

 

[DarkEmpire]

what did not try, such crashes happen all the time, delete the plugin until they fix it
