Hmm, I see servers in the public server list (not the official servers) that are on version 1.0. When I try to update my server via steamcmd, it finishes, but when it starts its still 0.2.12.2 in the server list..?

I just opened the config and removed the help/support links from the mod, that worked. Then just add them again after import.

Hi! I have a question how you guys do backups of game servers for your customers. Initially i was thinking rsync incremental but each full backup will be very big and each restore more complex since i need to restore files from multiple backups (full+incremental diff). And it wont work on windows. Ideally the backup should run every 3 hours or so. The solution im working on to solve this is a python program that does the following: 1. Query the tcadmin database to get running servers on the machine in question, location of the master files and other file paths 2. Diff the customer files with the master (shallow on some to avoid byte comparison on large files) 3. Only save the diff files to an external backup server 4. Email result So this gives me: + full backup (single restore) of all customer modified or edited game server files. (Re-deploy and re-apply backed up files) + Low space requirement since customers dont usually add that many large files + Low transfer times for both backup and restore + Works on both linux and windows - Not everything is backed up so incompatibility between backed up files and current server files may occur But this is just my ide on how to do this. How do the rest of you out there do it?

I run it as root as well, eBot still can't change map. Edit: Sry, it CAN change map, I was wrong. So it seems to be permission error.

It doesnt do anything, really weird. For a small update, it seems the problem is that the server cant exec some configs, even tho they are there with the correct name. So, the question should rather be, have you had this problem with exec/configs before?

Hi. I'm in a real hurry and need some help. eBot can't change maps, title, and other settings. It doesn't work fully as intended. Could this have anything to do with execute permissions? I know only srcds_linux and srcds_run should have +x, unfortunately many other files have it as well. I just removed it from instance .cfg, .bsp files and such, so the user could see and change these files from file-manager. When I remove them on a deployed server, tcagame doesnt have permission to the service folder and cant start the server. Anyone had this problem before? Just need any help whatsoever, any advice on what it might be would be great. I really appreciate it.

I havent tried this yet, but this could be a good solution. https://mmonit.com/monit/ We use Zabbix to monitor our servers, and it's awesome. You could do something similar as restarting a process if Zabbix finds some error via http on tcadmin, it's very customizable. But Monit has this feature as default.

Sorry for the late answer, I have been a bit busy. Do you have any suggestion of what I should set it to? I use xms the same as xmx.

Okay thanks!

Yes, but as I wrote, he used vanilla before. He recently switched to Spigot. The problem was there even under vanilla. :/

Hi, So one of our customers rents a Minecraft server, 4GB. He ran Vanilla and is now running Spigot, with almost no plugins. However, RAM usage goes up to 108.95%, he is using 4.36 GB of RAM. It's weird because it has been this way since the beginning, doesn't matter if he restarts it, it goes up to over 4GB quite fast. The weird thing is that the server runs very smooth in-game, no problems at all. We or he doesn't experience any problems but I'm curious as to why it shows 108.95%. Is this normal? What should I do? Before he was using 3GB, same thing there, so he upgraded to 4GB (he wanted more players as well) but obviously he's using more RAM than he pays for (But I don't blame him, something is buggy), and this doesn't seem normal. Thanks in advance.

I have "233780 -beta" in the template, and Verify/Validate & Update after created. But still its version 1.40, steam update says its already up to date. I see that other servers in the server browser are version 1.44. Initializing Steam... [ 0%] Checking for available updates... [----] Verifying installation...

Please, I'm getting somewhat desperate, how do I make input work? IF i get input to write something in the console, it just spams what command you sends to it.

Yea I know, I meant in which file is this element so I can change it? I can't find it, theres like hundreds of CSS files.

I cant get updates to work, I cant update my servers, even if I run a steam update its still 1.40 and I cant join the server. Im running steam for arma with "233780 -beta" and ive tried without the beta parameter, still doesn't work. Anyone know why?
