Cube World Server Utility

[Dateranoth]

Updated July 20, 2013!

Utility for logging Cube World Server, restarting daily, restarting on crashes, closing crash window, and remotely restarting.

Download Utility Here (Logging Batch File and AutoIT Script)

Download Stand Alone AutoIT Script Here (No Batch File Required)

Download Remote Restart Utility Here (Requires one of the AutoIT Scripts to be running. Allows Server to be remotely Restarted)Batch File and AutoIT Script designed to work together. The AutoIT Script is not required, but they work better together.  There is a stand alone AutoIT Script below that doesn't require the Batch file.  Finally, I have included a AutoIT Script to remotely restart the server when used with one of the Server Scripts.

The remote restart will require you edit the source of the AutoIT scripts if you wish to change the listening IP, port, and password required for restart. They should work together by default, but you will need to open port 54321 on the Server.

Dang you've been busy. Very awesome of you, Dat.

Well, turns out Cube World likes to crash hard and leave a nice windows message that won't close.  Here's an Autoit script to close it automatically. Need to run it along side the Cube World Utility to make sure your server will restart unattended.

Local $tvHandle = 0while True	$tvHandle = WinWaitActive("Server.exe")	if Not ($tvHandle = 0) Then		Send("{Enter}")	EndIfWEnd

I updated the AutoIT script and added a stand alone for those who don't want to use the batch.  This is a trial run with the AutoIT script. It will be closing the server anytime memory usage goes above 400MB. This seems to be when the crashes are occuring.

 

When running the batch and AutoIT scripts together, use the AutoIT exe to start the server and quit through the command window. The AutoIT starts the batch file and the batch file kills the AutoIT scripts.  The AutoIT prompt will automatically close after 60 seconds and start with a default of 10am.

lol MrsBE.

Ok, so the automatic restart when the memory limit was made wasn't working. The game definitely has a problem when memory usage gets too high, but it isn't consistent enough. There is no limit I can set that doesn't seem to sometimes close the server when it doesn't need to.  So, I removed that option, and I am simply logging memory usage when it rises above 600MB.  I left the code commented out that would close the server at a certain memory limit for anyone who wants to use it.

 

Since there is no reliable way to detect a locked up server I decided to go the remote restart route.  There is now a separate file you can download that allows the server to be remotely restarted.  I suggest you download AutoIT and edit the source files to your liking. It would be wise to change the port and password required to reset the server remotely. By default the Port is 54321 and Password is Restart.

The remote restarter works like a charm! Thanks again.
