so I'm not sure if this has been posted here, I did search for "enable-whitelist" but did not find a relevant looking post here (googling is something else, but if nobody reported it here then I think it's good to have it reported)
Problem:
The following setting in the config.ini seems to do nothing. It has not enabled the whitelist on my server when starting my server.
Code: Select all
; Options: true, false
enable-whitelist=true
I had to use the following parameter to enable the whitelist manually.
Code: Select all
--use-server-whitelist
The parameter did not enable the whitelist in combination with the following parameter when the file could not be found. I think, if the whitelist file could not be found in the given path, it would be helpful if the Server did either not start or start but with a warning.
Code: Select all
--server-whitelist
Also I did not find any relevant information about the whitelist on the wiki. (Maybe I just didn't see it)
https://wiki.factorio.com/Command_line_parameters
The following information is not helpful enough.
Where does the path start? Do I have to add the filename to the path?--server-whitelist FILE | Path to file with server whitelist.
Which of the following paths would be right? I tried every single one (and other combinations) but none of them enabled the whitelist.
- __PATH__executable__/../../
- server-whitelist.json
- __PATH__executable__/../../server-whitelist.json
I hope this is helpful, maybe I did something wrong, but I think I did everything I could when trying to get it to work. xP
Hope this helps
PS I find it really cool that there even is a button to turn off smileys here on my post if I don't like them
