Hi all,
I am new here and i like to inform you with a simpel setup that worked for myself and maybe it can help someone else also.
1: Follow these steps 5 steps in this Youtube clip how to install:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable Package + AtlasApi + RconCrossServerChat.
Clip: It's the Ark setup but the same for Atlas
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable Package:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
2: "CrossChatKey":"yourpassword", Set yourpassword like the one you use after ?ServerAdminPassword=yourpassword ( the one in your atlas start rule )
3: Set ?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27000 ( port example ) in each .bat start file of your grids.
4: Set RCONEnable=True and RCONPort=27000 ( port example ) in each GameUserSettings per each grid you have under [ServerSettings]
5: Start your server(s) and the Api will load and RconCrossServerChat will work.
If not ( like i had ) : stop your server and again reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2017. And then it will run ok
I have Redis running and did not changed anything in Redis since the beginning i made the server. i setup these Ip's + ports.
{
"CrossChatKey":"yourpassword",
"CrossChatMapNameInclude":true,
"RconServers":[
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport",
"127.0.0.1:yourport"
],
"CrossChatMapNameOverride":"",
"Async":true
}
I have a 4x4 grid on 1 server machine and it works with RconCrossServerChat, but my problem is, i have 50/100+ players on my server, so the flooding of the Rcon commands is to much, causing grids to fail and crash. Simple because of the players chatting to much for the servers to handle.
The error message is like following:
Ran out of memory allocating 4572123136 bytes with alignment 0
My server is running 128 gb ddr3 and is in use for 40% for the 4x4 grid to run, so the memory of my server is not the problem.
Rcon flooding is biggest problem and will flood all your Server RAM and eventually causing grids to fail.
+++Off topic+++
One thing i do not understand is that i have ArkApi 3.0 + Ark RconCrossServerChat 1.7 running on my 16 ark servers with no problem at all.
Combined on all 16 servers there are 450+ players using it without the flooding problem.
Maybe because i have running only 3 ark maps per 1 server machine ( total of 5 machines ) i don't know.
