EGG VARIANT

There is 2 variants of Eggs for Venice Unleashed

  • With mount
  • Without mount

WITH MOUNT

In order to reduce size of server, /bf3 directory is shared with multiple servers rather than having it in root directory of each server.

This type of egg uses mount feature of Pterodactyl where you need to create a mount for /bf3 directory and mount it to server.
Refer to this link for more info on how to create mounts in Pterodactyl Panel

Below example shows BF3 game files mount hosted in source path /var/lib/pterodactyl/mounts/bf3 which has required BF3 game files

Mounts
Mounts1187×206 7.25 KB

Recommended disk size : 3GB (Uses about 1.6GB after initial startup without any mods)

WITHOUT MOUNT

This type of server uses more than 35GB in space where you have to upload the BF3 game files for each server under /bf3 directory.

Recommended disk size : 45GB (Including BF3 game files which is ~35GB. Can vary between regions)

NOTES

  • Server takes sometime to mark as running status since server has to connect to Zeus backend for listing. Wait for this message in console [Game successfully registered with Zeus. The server is now accepting connections.]
  • Email and Password should be provided in startup before starting the server for 1st time to activate the instance (Only required for initial startup. Once the server is activated, you can remove your credentials and replace with default credentials [[email protected]|Password@123])
  • Before you start the server, transfer the key downloaded from VU key management portal to ~/vu/instance directory, and name it server.key
  • If you start the server with default credentials, server will create activated file in your server directory with default credentials and server will not work. Delete activated file, provide your credentials in startup and restart server to activate.
  • 2FA should be disabled in your EA Account to successfully verify the installation (You can enable 2FA after activation)
  • Mount should be linked to the egg for mounts to work (Edit the mount and assign it to VU with mount Egg as shown in below image)

  • Mount should also be mounted in mount tab of server settings for each servers you wish to have mount available
  • Egg includes both stable and staging version of Wine which you can change in Startup tab of the server. Both works fine with current versions of VU but i recommend Staging version since it has to recent bugfixes but if you face any issues, use Stable version.
