Originally created by @UltimateByte on GitHub (Jan 9, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1235

Originally assigned to: @UltimateByte on GitHub.

The file is located in serverfiles/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini
Problem is: the Saved directory doesn't exist until you start the server. So config file cannot be copied to this location.

So either it has to create parent directories first (then config file might be erased upon first start), or, it has to start/stop then replace default config file for LGSM one, then end the install process.

Or maybe you'll find a better solution? Discussion is open.

You can simply call this function in install_config.sh before creating the default config file no?
github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM@34d2c96bec/lgsm/functions/install_config.sh (L39-L46)

Many other servers use the same approach and my current pull request uses it and it works fine for Multi Theft Auto.

"So either it has to create parent directories first (then config file might be erased upon first start)"

However, this is something to fact check, just a worry i got atm :p

PS: I implemented that function, so I know it exists :p

Went back home a couple of hours ago. Just made a branch, will try stuff.
BTW, if my workaround i told you about on Discord didn't work, then your issue is probably not just the config file.

Well, config file is managed kinda weirdly with Ark. But I figured it out. Creating the full path is enough to solve the issue. However, admin password and servername are set within start parameters, so i gotta remove their edition by LGSM.

Port values might need to be removed from default config file since they are ignored and start parameters are used instead,. On top of that, those are not changed upon server shutdown to match start parameters, so in the end, if they're not used, they can be misleading.

Any enlightened thought about that?
