What's New in Version 1.0.1 Linux version added. [Changed] Force configuration of Steam account

View File Counter-Strike 2 Expect things to not work properly. This config is based on the game files, and not the dedicated server files as they are not available yet. Despite this config not having a lot of features, getting it working properly has been difficult. Prerequisite (Windows only) Copy the following files from Steam client installation folder to C:\TCAFiles\Games\cs2\game\bin\win64 tier0_s64.dll vstdlib_s64.dll steamclient64.dll Another option is to have the Steam client installed on each of the machines where you want to run CS2 servers. The Steam client path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam by default) needs to be added to the Path variable. Open Control Panel (not settings) in Windows Navigate to System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings Click Environment Variables... Under System Variables, select the Path variable and click Edit... Click New and enter the path for your Steam directory Save and restart the TCAdmin Monitor service Prerequisites (Windows and Linux) You will also need to go to the Steam settings in the game template and configure an existing Steam account. You cannot use anonymous. Manual installation Download the config Go to TCAdmin > System > Settings > Game & Voice Hosting > Game & Other Voice Servers > Import Save the config as a new config or chose "Overwrite existing config" if you which to overwrite your current CS config. Remember to select the game in the 'Update Game' field if you do Leave all other settings Features Not a whole lot. Game is pretty new, and there's not much documentation for the dedicated server yet. If you have any recommendations, please post them in the thread.

I have a working Windows template for CS2 that we're testing right now. If everything goes fine, the template will be added to the plugin repository soon.

Have you had any widgets previously? Do you see the same error if you create a new user and login? Does any error appear in the TCAdmin error log (either Monitor or Web)?

@lauryfriese what version of TCAdmin are you on?

Which widget are you trying to add?

@qspider that's not an issue with the config - it's an issue with DNS. If you've configured your control panel with Let's Encrypt, TCAdmin will (if you do not enter your own domain name) use a dyn.tcadmin.com address. Downloads will be handled over HTTPS, and if there's issue with DNS, you will see that error.

@mrpink Yes. You can use this tool as well: http://arksurvivalevolved.gamewalkthrough-universe.com/dedicatedservers/customizationtools/customlevelstool/Default.aspx

Hi @Rislem I've seen the issue before but I haven't found a way to reproduce it consistently. I have a feeling that it is caused by the "Shutdown service properly" script (which is ironic, I know ). I haven't seen the issue for a long time, though. Are you using the latest version of the game template?

When are you seeing the error? Which version of .NET have you installed?

In that case, you should go with a free alternative.

If you are a kid, yes. That's basically what a sponsorship means. If you're older, you know that a sponsorship consists of a mutual agreement. Like, "X provides a service free of charge to Y in return of free advertising space on their website". We've done a few sponsorships and we've never just done it because we're good people. It has always been in an effort to grow our business. The people we sponsor will promote our services to their audience.

If you're not a business, then why would you do sponsorships? TCAdmins main customerbase is game server providers or communities with an income.

And that would indeed be a very bad business plan.

It wouldn't make any sense for TCAdmin to sponsor licenses. TCAdmin's main customer base is game server providers - the end users are mainly people who rent game servers. I don't see how TCAdmin would benefit from a regular sponsorship in any way.

I understand. But if you can't find $60 per year ($5 per month) for something that your business relies on, you do not have a healthy business model. If you're not running a business, then you should be satisfied with whatever someone has made available to you for free.

There are multiple other control panel for hosting game servers that are open source. If the answer to your problem is that "the software needs to be open source", then go with one of those. If you run into an issue with the software, however, you're pretty much on your own. We very often hear about how people think TCAdmin is too expensive, but they don't want to use any of the other free alternatives that exists. If you're a business and can't afford $300.00 as a one-time fee (you don't have to renew support and updates), you probably shouldn't be running a business. But, I don't even see how it could be a problem finding the $60 per year for updates and support. When I was ~14 years old, we managed to build a very small game hosting company and pay the TCAdmin license fee. Sure, the first month we paid out of our own pocket, but that's just how it works. You want your entire business model to rely on TCAdmin but you don't want to pay? I'm sure you can see how that doesn't sound right.

@Rislem an update is coming. I've already updated the config to remove all ControlPanel settings, replaced them with WebDashboard and included the new options. I'm just having difficulties getting the new webtokens working.

You're not running the latest version of TCAdmin if you're getting that error. It was fixed long ago. Also, please note that the issue has nothing to do with the Minecraft game template. The Minecraft modpacks are part of the Custom Mods module for TCAdmin - please don't ask for support for that in this thread.

The Game ID field can be left blank if you're using a configurable option to select the ID.

@blob you define the name of the config file in the field "Config File" in WHMCS. If you enter "minecraft.php", you need to call the file "minecraft.php" and place the file in the /modules/servers/tcadmin2_advanced/ folder. The example I posted was from here: https://help.tcadmin.com/TCAdmin2_advanced_module_for_WHMCS#Examples

I'm not sure if Mono is available on CentOS Stream 9. It's not listed as a supported distro from Xamarin.

That's not an issue with the game template so you need to create a ticket to have that issue resolved.
