Skurnicki Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Does anyone know how to update a server to the experimental build with tcadmin? I've looked online and only find answers using steam tools or the steam CMD nothing specifically for tcadmin Ive tried downloading and force updating a server with adding steam CMD to the folder tried adding +app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental to the extra steam commands options on the game settings also I tried adding -beta latest_experimental to the app id as well, all no luck Ive never done this before so I really have no idea what I am doing. My friends and I wanna play the new update with out destroying our current server If i could get pointed in the right direction I and my friends would appreciate. it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjamieson Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Skurnicki, I believe I read in one of the 7DTD forums posts..the devs say you should do a fresh install and not an update over an existing server.. I created a custom script using the following: Found it here on another forum post so it is not my own.. @echo off "C:\Program Files\TCAdmin2\Monitor\Tools\SteamCmd\steamcmd.exe" +login anonymous +force_install_dir %ThisService_RootDirectory% +app_update "294420 -beta latest_experimental" validate +quit to handle the updates from b199 to b208 Edited November 30, 2018 by fjamieson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 You need to set the query port and game port to be the same. Also update the configuration files to include the new values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurnicki Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Not sure how to add custom scripts to servers, Ill just wait till it becomes stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Enjoy the approx. 6 to 12 month wait. To add script. You go into settings>>games>>chosen game. Then at bottom choose scripts. Then you create your script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurnicki Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 thanks, I guess my next question is what script engine do I use and what event should I put it as I tried to mimic the default save word script included and had access denied here is my script http://prntscr.com/lspy9u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Depends. You can use batch. Or other options for backup script. It depends on how you cidecit. And what files you want to include in the backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We did something else instead. This doesn't really work well, since you need to manually set the query port for each client that decides to update to experimental. Instead, we made a copy of our config, imported it as '7 Days to Die experimental', configured the ports, setup the configuration file and allowed users to use the game switcher.

numpty Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I couldn't understand the game switch option how do you set it up @dennis. Would love to test out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I couldn't understand the game switch option how do you set it up @dennis. Would love to test out Create a separate game called '7 Days to Die experimental' with updated config info, and let the user switch between regular 7D2D server and the experimental server.

Dennis Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Create a separate game called '7 Days to Die experimental' with updated config info, and let the user switch between regular 7D2D server and the experimental server. And remember to go to each and 7 Days to Die customer's 'Service Settings' page and enable the game switcher Also see this: https://help.tcadmin.com/TCAdmin2_advanced_module_for_WHMCS#Sending_Allowed_Games_for_Game_Switching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurnicki Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I figured tweaking would be the better option but when I tried to do it before steam wouldnt update any fresh servers where would I put the 294420 -beta latest_experimental? app id or extra steam commands?

jungleNZ Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 In the steam settings box - game name/app id: 294420 -beta latest_experimental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skurnicki Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 So 17 has dropped is it the same with the ips? because I still couldn't get this to work when it was on experimental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The query port needs to be the same as the game port now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurnicki Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 So when I change the "Query Port Expression" that was $[service.GamePort] + 2 (This was default on the config made by ECF), do I change it to $[service.GamePort] + 0?

numpty Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I'm guessing but leave the expression blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Or with just $[service.GamePort] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Or just nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
