[Tutorial] Dedicated Server on Ubuntu 13.10 using Wine

Edit 3: Just realised I never fixed the winetricks -q dotnet40 line. JUST TO CONFIRM DO NOT USE SUDO WITH THE WINETRICKS COMMAND! Whoops


Hey there guys.
I just got the dedicated servers running smoothly on linux and thought I would share how to do it. Big thanks to CrabNebula for pointing me in the right direction!

Requirements

A copy of Space Engineers
A Windows computer
A linux computer with full root access. (I'm using Ubuntu Server 13.10)

All these steps are running via the terminal, either SSH or emulated should work.


Step 1:

First, we need to install the required packages. These instructions are for Ubuntu, there should be similar package managers for other distros:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.6
winetricks -q dotnet40

If this last step fails (Error: 64-bit WINEPREFIX not suported) do:

Code:

rm -r ~/.wine
WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot

Note: This WILL wipe any other Windows applications you have installed!

Step 2:

Now we need to copy the Space Engineers folder over to the linux box. You can find the dedicated server files in [Steam Directory]\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Tools. Your choice how to transfer them over, personally I used Dropbox and wget.

Put the files into

Code:

~/.wine/drive_c/users/$(whoami)/Desktop/ 

(or somewhere similar, this doesn't matter too much)

Step 3:

The next step is to prepare the world and config files. The easiest way I've found to do this is to just generate the world and base config on Windows and transfer them over. Launch the dedicated server tool on your Windows machine ([Steam Directory]\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\DedicatedServer\SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe), select the Default profile, and then set up the world how you like. Press Save Config and Start to generate the world.

The files for the server are stored in

Code:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Default

. Edit the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg to your liking, then copy this and the Saves folder over to the Linux machine, specifically to

Code:

~/.wine/~/.wine/drive_c/users/$(whoami)/Application\ Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated

Step 4:
Final tweaks! In your SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file, edit the <LoadWorld> tag to point to the correct location.

So if the Saves folder is located at

Code:

~/.wine/drive_c/users/adamant/Application Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated/Saves/Created 2014-05-29 2230

you would edit that line to read

Code:

 <LoadWorld>C:\Users\adamant\Application Data\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Default\Saves\Created 2014-05-29 2230</LoadWorld> 

Note I have used the Windows directory paths, as that is what the Dedicated Server is looking for.

Step 5:

Now we can start the server (finally!). Go back to the directory where you extracted the server and run

Code:

wine SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe -console

Troubleshooting and Notes (Thanks CrabNebula!):

• Usually an xserver (the GUI) is required, and as such there will be a lot of spam relating to X Windows and X Server on the console.Make sure to use the -console switch when running the server and most of the display related errors can be happily ignored.
• Similar to the xserver issue, as the server was not designed to run on linux there will be spam related to wine during startup. So seeing fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.Core" and similar throughout the console is absolutely fine! (If the line starts with fixme: it's probably a wine error!)
• Running the game on a 64bit computer is fine, however as wine does not support .Net4.0 64bit, make sure you are running the Non-64bit version of the Server!
• If on starting the server for the first time you get
  Code:

  ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in 83BCBFA49B3A2A8AAA624C2EEA412F85ABB3AEFAF743 (string[]): IL_0005: and

  (shortened for formatting) spammed to high hell, make sure you have the correct version of Wine installed and mono is not installed. See my post a few messages down for detailed guide on this.

Congratulations! Hopefully within a few minutes you should have a functions Space Engineers dedicated server on Linux.
Now get out there and build some awesome stuff!!

-AdamAnt

Note: I've probably screwed up somewhere in this so feel free to PM me with corrections and improvements.

Quick Edit: The only way I've found to close the server is using ctrl+z, then using htop to send SIGKILL the process.

Edit 2 (The morning after): Cleared up some formatting, added some notes based on CrabNebula's suggestions and fixed a small typo.

 

Thank you very much! We will test this tomorrow thoroughly, I'll modify this post then to give feedback.

Edit: We actually didn't test it, because our super admin told us that wine was not safe or stable enough and would bring more issues than benefits to the server.
I guess we will wait for the full linux release.

 

Step 5 I am having trouble with I ran it with and without the -console

Make sure you don't have another version of Wine, playonlinux or mono on the system. I had that issue when I was using an incorrect Wine package or mono.

To identify your version of wine run

Code:

 wine --version 

and check you are running wine 1.6.

If you are not, try running

Code:

 sudo apt-get remove --purge wine* 

and then continuing from the apt-get install wine1.6 line.


To check whether mono is installed, run

Code:

 dpkg -s mono 

Uninstall it the same way as wine, and then continue from Step 1.

EDIT: remove not uninstall!
Edit 2: Add all the details!

I was getting the RAS error too, and the following seemed to fix it:

sudo apt-get install gnutls-bin

Though I'm still not able to connect to my server. The last output I see on the SSH session is:

Loading session: C:\Users\me\Application Data\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Default\Saves\Pylos-L
fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"SharpDX.Direct3D9"
fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"SharpDX.XAudio2"
fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"SharpDX.RawInput"

Then it just sits there at that point for minutes. Later I see:

fixme:winhttps:WinHttpDetectAutoProxyConfigUrl discovery via DHCP not supported

 

The errors about DHCP unsupported don't seem to effect the server. I'm guessing the sonsole spam is to do with it not really being designed to run on linux, but ignore it and you should be ok. As long
as

Code:

Server connected to Steam
Server PolicyResponse (1)
(Junk and errors)
Game ready...

is SOMEWHERE in between the console spam you should be set. Bear in mind it took a good five minutes for Game ready... to appear for me, as the game in general is not very optimised yet, let alone running on emulated hardware.

The other thing to check is the config file, make sure there are no typos as it can throw a wobbly there too.

 

good work AdamAnt!

just a few quick notes:

- usually an xserver is required, but thats a desktop thing, for the dedicated server binaries -console should be used and xserver - warning/set the proper display can ignored in this case..
- a few more "wine related" messages will appear that are not actually real issues
- RAS error can be fixed, not required to run the game properly though
- you can always verify your wine version using either wine --version or aptitude show wine
- dont mix up apt-get and aptitude (if you don't know the difference and don't have a preference use aptitude)
- do not use mono (invalid IL blabla..), dotnet framwork is required (dotfx40), properly use -q (so x is not required) on winetricks when installing
- you can (untested, may be even possible as well) not use the 64bit version of wine - something about dotfx40 not working properly.. (actual feedback required).


the path on step 3 should be (FYI, paths for copy paste require to have the whitespaces escaped, instead of " ", rather "\ ", or it will display a no such file or directory):

Code:

$HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/$(whoami)/Application\ Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated

 

Nice catch on the escaped space! I'll format the notes and put them at the bottom of the OP for ease of reading, should help eliminate a few issues people seem to be having.

 

Thanks for the update. It's been 10 minutes and still haven't reached "Game ready", but I'll leave it running and see what happens. Thanks!

 

When it comes to kill the server, have you tried to run it in GNU screen?

Code:

sudo apt-get install screen

screen -S space wine ~/.wine/drive_c/users/$(whoami)/Desktop/DedicatedServer/SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe -console

Then ctrl+A d to leave the screen or ctrl+A k to kill the screen.

 

I'm also getting the first error you had MrKoronas,

Running Ubuntu Server 14.04LTS

@ubuntuserver:~$ wine --version
wine-1.6.2



Also I got this when trying to do the dotnet40 install

@ubuntuserver:~/.wine/drive_c/users/wardave/Application Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated/DedicatedServer64$ sudo winetricks -q dotnet40
------------------------------------------------------

I also tried loading that from the menu in the desktop, ran wintricks and installing the dotnet4.0 package and it gives me the error of This package does not work on a 64-bit installation but that part was done from the x desktop winstricks program.

Hi!

I successfully set up a server on Debian Jessie (testing). I can see it in the steam server browser and connect to it. However, I get disconnected upon loading the map. This happens in the console:

Another thing that might be good to mention: my firends and I used to play with the 64-bits version of the game and I think our save contains some 64-bits variables. Thus, I wasn't able to load it on the 32-bits server in Linux and can't play our saved world...

It would be really great to manage to launch the server in 64-bits mode! I've been trying without success, but I will keep you posted on my tries.

 

I have exactly the same issue, also running Jessie. The culprit seems to be this error:

Code:

err:winsock:interface_bind Failed to bind to interface, receiving broadcast packets will not work on socket 04c8.
err:winsock:interface_bind Failed to bind to interface, receiving broadcast packets will not work on socket 04cc.
err:winsock:interface_bind Failed to bind to interface, receiving broadcast packets will not work on socket 04d0.

I did some testing on a local machine (also running Jessie) where this error didn't show up and I could join without any issue. The only difference is that my server is using the 64 bit version of Debian while my local one uses the 32 bit one (but that's probably not the cause, I hope).

 

edit: Fixed it

 

First, thx for this great guide.

I got the server working, you can fly around and everything BUT:

In the moment you try to mine some iron/gold what ever, the server crashes.

I got the following errormessage in the Serverlog.

2014-05-30 14:40:58.470 - Thread:   1 ->  Hiding window

Someone else got such problems?

 

little troubleshooting:

- confirm you are running the wine 32bit version (this is just a matter of initial path setup and available packages on the system, you can have both at the same time (often the case)), the reason for that is that dotfx wont work properly using 64bit (include source if found), and while using a wine 32bit prefix you want to only test the 32bit dedicated server binaries
- do NOT under any circumstances run wine as root (including winetricks as this will modifiy the currents user's wine prefix, using sudo in front will do this for root thus dotfx is missing for the user)
- ctrl-z will simply hide the current job, it will still run (in case you dont have a screen this could ne used, but nohup prolly necessary), you can attach the job again using "fg", i do not recommend this way (use a screen session instead)

to kill spaceengineers properly (as in - it gets killed, no graceful shutdown whatsoever) you can use something like:

Code:

kill $(ps aux|grep "SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe"|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}')

@VeMeth: can confirm this "bug", but we cannot open a thread for this as long as this hasn't been reproduced using windows

 

I can also confirm the "drill bug".
Other than that it works.

 

I'm having real issues trying to make this work.

I am using vmware workstation 10 with bridged network

port forwarding for that Ip for the vmware

Still I cannot get it to work, its making me so frustrated beyond belief.

If anyone could help me that would be amazing.

 

Pinned this topic due to how useful it is

 

Is there no way to do it with Wine 1.4 ?

 

Same here.

I had some issues getting it to show up in the SE server list, but connecting via the steam server browser does work.

 

How are you connecting with the steam server browser ? can you explain

 

On my machine it couldn't find the packaxe "Wine1.6" How do I fix it?

Also my config in the Windows folder is empty for some reason.

 

Right click on your steam (system) icon, and click on servers. Then go to the favorites tab, and add your serverort (example: domain.tld:27016).

 

do apt-cache search wine

and see what packages are avalible

 

There's a normal "Wine" but it's the version 1.4 ... Does it still work with it?

 

I think I'm going to just give up and put windows on that machine until this all gets sorted, they might even do a linux port at some point.

 

I managed to get it up and running, but when I tried to connect I discovered I was on the wrong version. So I replaced the sever files with a new copy from my windows machine, and now I get this when I try to run:

Code:
