Firewall Question

[tweeknuts]

So I'm stumped on how I want to do this. I'm trying to run a Project Zomboid server and not sure how I want to do this through the firewal.

 

It seems like it needs to run a batch file before it goes to the .exe to grab some necessary info. Well then that makes the batch file the executable that TCADMIN 2 will be looking at. With that being the case it will open up the ports to the batch file and not the .exe that opens up after it.

 

Is there a way to tell TCADMIN 2 to point to the .exe also when it automatically opens ports? Thanks!

What's in the batchfile?

Generally batchfile is just an executable with a commandline after it.

Both of which you can set up in TCAdmin itself.

@setlocal enableextensions

@cd /d "%~dp0"

SET PZ_CLASSPATH=java/jinput.jar;java/lwjgl.jar;java/lwjgl_util.jar;java/sqlite-jdbc-3.8.10.1.jar;java/uncommons-maths-1.2.3.jar;java/

".\jre64\bin\java.exe" -Dzomboid.steam=1 -Dzomboid.znetlog=1 -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -Djava.library.path=natives/;. -cp %PZ_CLASSPATH% zombie.network.GameServer

 

Looks like it uses Java.exe. I'll place that in the executable field and put the rest of that line in the command line plus the custom stuff I add to it. Hopefully I dont need the very top stuff which was what I was worried about.

If you're having issues with TCAdmin not opening ports for the executable file in Windows Firewall, simply just create a script that does this.

I grabbed Project Zomboid xml file from the forum but wasn't very TCADMIN friendly. So I fixed it up a bit and now have it working great . It was creating batch files and using the batch file as an executable instead of just running the .exe.
