If you have an enterprise license, you will still need to buy yearly updates for TCAdmin. Make sure that you have that.

Press 'Check for updates'. The TCAdminUpdateTool.exe does not update your database, which is why you see those errors. If you don't see any updates, make sure you have a license for upgrades and support.

How did you upgrade? Did you upgrade directly from TCAdmin or by using the UpdateTool?

When you pay for PhotoShop, you don't pay to have graphic pre-made. You pay for the software, like you do with TCAdmin. TCAdmin supports a lot of games out of the box. Some games will require a bit of configuration.

You would change it to whatever the executable file would be for Linux. For ARK, that could be ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer. For most configs, you can leave the relative working dir.

It seems to be a bit random. I think it will indeed be moved to System > Settings, but sometimes we still see it in the sidebar/topmenu (depending on "classic"/MVC design).

Agree. And maybe a setting that would disable Email Notifications (in TCAdmin, not the actual emails) per user. I think I can count on 1 hand how many of our users actually have used the interface for something useful (other than exploring it) since they already has read the email.

Just be aware that .dll files can be used for exploits. I'd recommend that you at least configure the service to run as its own user.

Yes.

You should use AppID 376030 for the server. Right now, you're trying to start the ARK game as a server.

HAIL LUIS! That one I'm looking forward to :-D

Really? I've never seen any issues with the built-in mod downloader. I have had some issues with huge mods when using this tool: https://github.com/barrycarey/Ark_Mod_Downloader which is also using arkit That was a long time ago, and there's definately pros and cons to each solution.

Yes, that would cause the game server to start slower. This can take many minutes depending on the amount of mods and how big they are.

Correct. If the variable doesn't exist in the configuration file, that message will show. Saving the configuration file will add the setting along with the default value (unless changed).

A mod installer is actually built into ARK. Open up the Game.ini and add the following to the top of the file: [ModInstaller] ModIDS=000000000 ModIDS=111111111 As you can probably tell, you need to add one line per mod. Now go to GameUserSettings.ini and add the same IDs to ActiveMods. ActiveMods=000000000,1111111111 Every time you start the server, the mods will be downloaded through SteamCMD.

Try opening the minecraft_server.bat and replace 'Java' with the full path to java.exe and restart.

Are they running on different IP's but same ports?

You should read the following: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/87419-guide-cluster-setup/ Remember that all servers in your cluster must be on the same physical server (AFAIK).

I was able to do that as well. The Update Tool still won't work. I'll see if it's still a problem for the next update and create a ticket if it is.

You can if the game server can run on Linux (it's the case for most games). For the majority of configs, you will just need to go to the 'Files' tab and change the executable file.

I was able to download it manually.

We can't download it.

Any idea what's causing this? The file takes up 0KB of space. It seems to happen to every update after 2.0.131.1.

Update your TCAdmin installation to 2.0.129.0 or newer. You can also edit the .xml file using a text editor and remove the custom_home_view setting and any other setting that might give an error.

The config should be imported into TCAdmin: https://help.tcadmin.com/Game/Voice_Configuration#Importing

It's actually very easy to start and stop it - it's built into TCAdmin. If you select the Custom Action or Custom Icon event, you can make TCAdmin stop the service before the script is executed: https://i.imgur.com/SyA7AvF.png The service is automatically started after. If you allow scheduling, the client can create a scheduled task that does this every few hours.
