zebgames Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Anyway to have TCADmin look for the game installs locally on the server first before getting them from the Master FTP server? I don't have disk space to have all the game installs on my Chicago box, but I mainly install CoD2 which is huge so I was hoping I wouldn't have to trasnfer that everytime.

ECF Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 It should automatically looks for it in the local folder before going back to the master or ftp server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebgames Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 For some reason it did not. Are there any logs that I can look in to try to determine why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The log files are located in C:\Program Files \TCAdmin on each server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon|Rich Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Do you have it checked under server settings to "save a local copy" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I don't think he wants to save all the files locally. Which now that I think of it may not work the way he wants. It is either save them locally, or get them from the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebgames Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 I tried the save files locally option, but it seemed like it just saved it under the customers folder for the install. Is that correct? That it has to download from the FTP each time a new server is setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 If you use the "Save a local file copy" then you will need to make usre that you have the proper directory created on that server eg. C:\GameInstalls You will also need to restart the monitor on that server after making the changes. It should save a compressed copy of any game that you setup on that server to c:\Gameinstalls\<gamename>.zip or .rar, depending on which you use.

zebgames Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Ok, that is probably why. I had not restarted the monitor after saving the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Keep in mind that the setting is for all games, not just one. So if you install any other games to that server then those files will also be saved locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebgames Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Yeah, I will just go in and prune the gameinstalls directory if I need to. When I clicked the restart monitor button in TCAdmin the entire box rebooted. I thought it only restarted the TCAdmin Monitor service on the box.

ECF Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 You must have clicked the restart server link by mistake? There are two links under each server. Maybe you confused them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebgames Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Must have. I feel stupid now, didn't know you could restart the server from the control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
