How to Set Up Shifting Sands on Your Soulmask Server

With the Shifting Sands DLC you can set up a server cluster that allows players to travel between the base map (Cloud Mist Forest) and the Shifting Sands map.

Warning

For a cluster you need two Soulmask servers — one for each map. All players must own the Shifting Sands DLC.

Requirements

  • Two Soulmask servers with EmeraldHost
  • The Shifting Sands DLC for all players

Configure main server (Cloud Mist Forest)

  1. Open dashboard
    Open the dashboard of your first server (base map).

  2. Open settings
    Navigate to the Settings.

  3. Set Server ID
    Enter the following in the [CROSS-MAP] SERVER ID field:

    -serverid=1
    -serverid=1
  4. Set Broadcast Address
    Enter the following in the [CROSS-MAP] BROADCAST ADDRESS field:

    -mainserverport=20000
    -mainserverport=20000
  5. Enable cross-server
    Connect via SFTP and edit the file:

    /WS/Saved/GameplaySettings/GameXishu.json
    /WS/Saved/GameplaySettings/GameXishu.json

    Set the value KaiQiKuaFu to 1.

  6. Start the server
    Save the settings and start the main server.

Configure client server (Shifting Sands)

  1. Open dashboard
    Open the dashboard of your second server (Shifting Sands).

  2. Open settings
    Navigate to the Settings.

  3. Set Server ID
    Enter the following in the [CROSS-MAP] SERVER ID field:

    -serverid=2
    -serverid=2
  4. Set Broadcast Address
    Enter the following in the [CROSS-MAP] BROADCAST ADDRESS field:

    -clientserverconnect=IP:Port
    -clientserverconnect=IP:Port

    Replace IP:Port with the IP address of the main server and the Game Port + 4.

    Example

    If the main server's game port is 8778:

    -clientserverconnect=123.45.67.89:8782
    -clientserverconnect=123.45.67.89:8782
  5. Change map
    Make sure the map is set to DLC_Level01_Main (Shifting Sands).

  6. Enable cross-server
    Also edit the GameXishu.json on this server via SFTP and set KaiQiKuaFu to 1.

  7. Start the server
    Save the settings and start the client server.

Travel between maps

Players can use a portal terminal at the mysterious island in-game to switch between maps.

Note

Only characters that are not the first created character can transfer between servers.

Important

The main server must always be started first and stopped last to avoid connection errors.
