Download

The latest build can be found here: ​http://svn.illy.bz/7dtd/binary-improvements/bin/Release/. You need both the 7dtd-server-fixes.dll and the Assembly-CSharp.patched.dll (rename it to Assembly-CSharp.dll locally).

Note that this will only work with the correct version of the 7dtd dedicated server. If they release a new build the files have to updated (should never take longer than 24h from their release).

Build yourself

The Assembly-CSharp.dll is first deobfuscated with the ​Deobfuscator. Then the 7dtd-server-fixes.dll can be build referencing this assembly. At last the deobfuscated Assembly-CSharp.dll is patched with the ​Assembly-Patcher so it calls the new methods in the 7dtd-server-fixes.dll.

Features

New log information

• New entry whenever a player connects combining all the information that previously had to be collected manually. It is printed after RequestToSpawnPlayer and looks like this:

  Player connected, clientid=1, entityid=171, name=alloc, steamid=765611*******172, ip=192.168.1.58
  

• Each time someone connects on Telnet:

  Telnet connection from: 127.0.0.1:45014
  

• When someone disconnects from Telnet:

  Telnet connection closed by client: 127.0.0.1:45014
  

• When someone executes a command through Telnet:

  Telnet executed "gt" from: 127.0.0.1:45014
  

• When a connected client successfully executes a remote command:

  Executed command "lp" from player "Alloc"
  

Map rendering

The map is rendered to image files as people visit the different places. Those images are stored within the save game folder in a folder named map. This folder contains one subfolder per zoom level, 0 being the most zoomed out whereas currently 4 is the normal size. In each of them are folders for the X coordinates of the blocks which contain individual images for the Y coordinates:

 SaveGame/
     map/
         0/             # 0 being the zoom level
             -3/        # -3 is the block number in x-direction (west to east)
                 5.png  # 5 is the block number in y-direction (south to north)

The map will be rendered while people wander around but if you want to initially get everything mapped that has been visited prior to adding this mod (or prior to rev.131 which introduced this feature) you might want to run the command "rendermap". NOTE that this will take a long time to execute (in the minutes) depending on how big the visited map is so far. During this time the server can not be used for playing or any commands.

The generated map file structure can be used to show the map with tools like ​Leaflet. The integrated webserver will also show this map.

New commands (for in-game console, control panel and Telnet)

• creativemenu / cm: Enable/disable creative menu for the current session.
• getgameprefs / gg: Get all server preferences (no parameters passed) or just those that contain the strning that is passed. This can be used to give all users access to read the server settings (e.g. land claim size) (see Admins.xml below). Only non-sensitive information can be accessed, so excluded are all preferences which contain the following strings:
  • Telnet
  • AdminFileName
  • ControlPanel
  • Password
  • SaveGameFolder
  • Options

    gg claim
    LandClaimDeadZone = 30
    LandClaimDecayMode = 0
    LandClaimExpiryTime = 3
    LandClaimOfflineDurabilityModifier = 4
    LandClaimOnlineDurabilityModifier = 4
    LandClaimSize = 7
    

• gettime / gt: Get the current in-game time like this one:

  Day 18, 14:13
  

• give: Give an item to a player
• kill: Kill a player denoted by his name or entity id
• listitems / li: List items that can be given with give
• listlandprotection / llp: Lists all land protection blocks and their owners (name only shown when owner is online):

  Player " (76561198066968172)" (protected: True, current hardness multiplier: 4):
     (1249, 60, -21)
  Total of 1 keystones in the game
  

• listplayersextended / lpe: Similar to listplayers but with more information on each player (deaths, zombie kills, player kills, score, IP, ping), looking like this:

  1. id=171, Alloc, pos=(902.0, 61.0, -353.7), rot=(0.0, -91.4, 0.0), remote=True, health=32, deaths=2, zombies=0, players=0, score=0, steamid=76561198066968172, ip=192.168.1.58, ping=43
  

• removelandprotection / rlp: Removes the given land protection block or all blocks of a given player.
• rendermap / rm: Render the map as far as it was ever visited by any player to both a big file and many small tiles that can be used for a map viewer like Leaflet. WARNING: This command can take a long time to execute (like 5 to 30 minutes) and the server won't be usable at that time for anything else!
• reply / re: Send a message to the player who last sent you a private message (see sayplayer / pm).
• sayplayer / pm: Send a message to a single player denoted by his name or entity id. Will be shown on receiver side as "<sender> (PM)" where <sender> is either "Server" if sent through the control panel or Telnet interface or the name of the sending player if used by the in game console.
• settimereal / str: Set the in-game time by number of days, hours, minutes
• showinventory / si: List the inventory/belt content of a player denoted by his name or entity id. Note that this data is only updated every 30s when the client sends his current state. Sample output:

  Belt of player:
      064 * brickDecayedTan
      064 * concreteBlock
      064 * quarterBlock
      064 * wedgeWoodWhiteShinglesAlsphalt
  
  Bagpack of player:
      031 * canBeef
      001 * firstAidBandage
      032 * painkillers
      001 * PumpShotgun
      064 * tallGrassDiagonal2
  

• version: Show the currently running version of the server fixes

Admins.xml

• Commands with permission level set to >= 1000 can be executed by all players. This is useful e.g. for the new getgameprefs command.
• Commands not defined in admins.xml at all automatically has permission level 0
• A command set in admins.xml affects both and long version. E.g. having the following in admins.xml will set the permisisonlevel to 1 for both lp and listplayers:

  <permission cmd="lp" permission_level="1" />
  

Replaced Telnet server

• Should be way more stable
• Handles disconnect of clients without sending exit
• Allows multiple connections at once (though output for one client is sent to all)
• If no password is set in TelnetPassword the Telnet server only listens on the loopback interface!
• Greeting message contains new line * Allocs server fixes loaded
• Output of a command run by a single Telnet client is only sent to this one client
