tcngs Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The new AA 2.7 folder is 2.8gb, is there any files that can be taken out to make the folder smaller so that when tcadmin creates a new game server it does not have to copy the entire 2.8 gb folder?

tcngs Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Also what is the average time when you create a AA game server, The file folder is huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameConnectors Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I know the Farcry files are a similar size and it can take 10 mins to create the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcngs Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 It takes 20 to 25 minutes to create the AA game server, I am just running 7200 IDE drives. If I went to 7200 Sata drives would that cut down on the transfer time and also the lead the transfering puts on the machine? One more question, if I put in a sata drive as a secondary drive and had the install files and the user files on that hard drive, with the operating system on the IDE drive would that make the file transfers any better and cutdown on the load transfering the files has?

ECF Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Have you tried using compressed files like .rar for the setups. Zip files won't work since they only handle up to 2 gb I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcngs Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 how would I change that in the game panel information? Do I just tell it to use the .rar file where you normaly put the folder name? Also any input on the hard drive question I posted? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Put your game files within an .rar compressed file and leve it in C:\GameInstalls Do not put it in the AA folder. Simply leave it in the to level of C:\GameInstalls or whatever you have named your install folder. Also make sure you do not include the AA folder in the compressed file, you just want the game files and subfolders for the game. TCAdmin automatically checks for that .rar file first before it goes to the AA folder to find the game files. Once you put the file there it should use it instead of copying files from the AA folder.
