I don't understand the guide wiki for DH server set up.
Hi, forgive my basic questions, I am essentially code-illiterate and also this is my first MC server, so I'm completely new to this.
I'm hosting a server on godlike.host, fabric server, 1.21.4 and DH 2.3.0 beta
I've started pre-genning 1024 DH chunks, using the command /dh pregen start overworld 0 0 1024. That's working just fine.
Mainly, I'd like to configure the settings in the attached image. I understand that these can be changed in game in DH server settings, but since I'm not the machine that hosts this server, I don't think it has any effect on the server settings. So I don't know how to actually enable Real Time Updates, set a Max Generation Request Distance etc. All the important stuff that will actually make LODs load for players.
using the /help dh command gives me this:
/help dh
[13:50:44] [Server thread/INFO]: /dh config (common.threadPreset|generation.enable|generation.mode|generation.logInterval|levelKeys.send|levelKeys.prefix|generation.requestRateLimit|generation.maxRequestDistance|generation.bounds.x|generation.bounds.z|generation.bounds.radius|realTimeUpdates.enable|realTimeUpdates.playerDistance|syncOnLoad.enable|syncOnLoad.rateLimit|syncOnLoad.maxRequestDistance|common.maxDataTransferSpeed|generation.nSized|threading.numberOfThreads|threading.threadRunTimeRatio|logging.logWorldGenEvent|logging.logWorldGenPerformance|logging.logWorldGenLoadEvent|logging.logNetworkEvent)
IDK what any of that means.
The wiki doesn't provide the commands to configure these, so chances are I'm missing something obvious. Would greatly appreciate any help!

I'd like to add that most of the commands listed above by the bot seem to do nothing either... unless im supposed to enter those in-game rather than the server console? I'll try that after work
The commands above are commands for the discord bot, not for mc
lol oh
The
/help dh
command gave you all parameters that exist for the /dh config
command. You can use these to specify which setting you want to change.
For example for real time updates, realTimeUpdates.enable
and realTimeUpdates.playerDistance
can be found in the output of the command.
Now you can use /dh config realTimeUpdates.enable <value>
or /dh config realTimeUpdates.playerDistance <value>?
Also you should update to the latest one from modrinth, 2.3.0 had generation speed issues of around 50%
what goes in <value> ?
i had some bugs when I tried the newest one i think
What you want to change the setting to. For
realTimeUpdates.enable
that would a boolean, so either true
or false
Can also try the nightly from #links-n-downloads
talking about offline use, like random black flashes and stuff (with and without shaders) but that could also be to do with nvidias latest driver nonsense TBH
From what I can tell, godlike.host has both SFTP and a file manager in its game panel.
You can use these to open DH's config file and edit DH's config that way. Might be easier to do it that way
ah okay so for the ones that are boolean (like 'on' or 'off'), replace <value> with either true or false
Yes
for the ones that require a number, like the data transfer rate, replace <value> with a number?
Correct
okay! think i got it, one more question
if i just config the server settings in game on my PC, that makes a config file presumably. could I then just copy that to replace the file in the server files?
seems like the easiest, GUI-est way to do it if that works lol
Yea, that also works
tysm for your help I'll try that later!
Your welcome!
