Video Tutorial
Get Started
Download the package and unzip it.
The installation are divided into the following steps
- Unzip
- Copy Gateway folder
- Start
Unzip
Copy Gateway folder
Copy the folder Gateway into root directory of your 7dtd server.
Notice
serverconfig.xml and serveradmin.xml will no longer to copy, Gateway will read them automatically. You must keep the exe file name of vanilla server as '7DaysToDieServer.exe'
Start!
Firstly, double click Gateway/Naiwazi_ServerKit_Gateway.exe to run the gateway, after it started, a web page will be poped up, an activation would be needed for the first time. Please refer to the FAQ below for any startup errors.
An icon would be appeared in the lower right corner, if it shows NAIWAZI ServerKit x.x.x - Port XXXXX after put your mouse on it, that means the gateway works and you could log in through the web pannel
The last step is start GS, RIGHT CLICK the icon in the lower right corner of your desktop, then click 'Start GS' to start your gameserver.
Activation
Following the guide, select your language and set your username and password of web pannel. Apitoken is the token that can access external APIs just like the admintoken of Allocs server-fixes. authtoken can be obtained from naiwazi.com
Notice
You could fill anything into the 'AuthToken' field before the register system completed
Some Important Things
1. You could access the web pannel through url http://YOUR-IP:PORT Port number is the game port+1. For example, you set your gameport to 26900, and your ip address is 1.1.1.1, the web pannel url would be http://1.1.1.1:26901
2. The actions like wipe profiles, terminate gs, must do it in web paneel
3. The coolest feature is auto restarting, Fast-Mode restarting requires that you must have enough RAM to run two GSs. Fast-Mode is strongly recomanded.
4. Player profiles located in Gateway/data/players, note that the path if you would like to backup files. The profile files are end with .ttp, it is compatible with the vanilla profiles. the .info files is a summary description used by gateway.
5. Changing Mods without wipe data would be very dangerous, it will cause the data corrupted. Gateway would not need to be restarted if no critical errors occurred, and GS could set schduled restarting with period of 2-8 hours.
