Here you can find the Space Engineers Torch Server ported to .NET 8.0.
Clone the se-dotnet-server repository. Follow the instructions there to build the game server.
Once the DS works, add Torch by copying over the projects from this repository into your local Git working copy folder which has the decompiled game server source in it. Overwrite the solution file or add the projects manually in your IDE.
Set the TORCH_ROOT environment variable to the full path of the folder you have
the Instance folder in (it usually has Logs, Plugins, Torch.cfg, etc.).
Make sure to remove these files from your TORCH_ROOT folder:
- The binary files of the original Torch installation
_CommonRedistappcacheconfigContentDedicatedServer64Logs(recommended for clarity)steamappssteamcmd
Keep the following:
Torch.cfgInstancePlugins
If you run multiple Torch instances as the same Windows user, then you need to
create "startup" batch files for each of the instances and set TORCH_ROOT in
those accordingly.
Build and run it from the command line by executing the
BuildAndRunTorch.bat script.
For debugging run the Torch.Server project from your IDE.
- Harmony 2.3.3 is used for binary patching with a compatibility layer in place to support Torch patches.
* - Plugins using transpiler patches may not work. Such patches need to be fixed to handle both the old and new .NET.
This was tested to work reliably:
var isOldDotNetFramework = Environment.Version.Major < 5;I suggest using the TranspilerHelper to produce IL files of the original and patched code, so they can be diff'd and fixed easier. You can find usage examples in this repository. It works with both the Torch and Harmony transpiler patches.
* The PatchManager code was copied from PvPTeam Torch (Apache License Version 2.0) in order to avoid duplicating that work. The changes were made by zznty. That repo contains another solution to run Torch on recent .NET.
