DaveTurnbull Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'm planning on buying TCAdmin in a couple of months, mainly to just mess around with, but I'm a complete newbie with this kind of stuff. Do I just installed TCAdmin on any old web host, and then it connects to a different server (using IP, port, username, password), transfers the game files, and *ta da* it works? Is that the jist of it? Regards, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swish Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Prepare for flamage...lol j/k TCAdmin is VERY far from an "out of the box" resource. Consider it more a "tool". You must install each and every game and configure it to run correctly. TCAdmin requires the game servers on your box (or transfered from the master box) ther eis not "central hub" to conenct to for all the files. Im glad you said "A few months". If this is really something your intrested in sit back and take your time and plan for everything. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not just some guy that just picked up a computer - just never had much experience with dedicated servers, game servers. Oh, and by the way, I plan to only be running 1 game, so will that make it easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daersun Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Are you looking to run it to handle customers or just for personal use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTurnbull Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Are you looking to run it to handle customers or just for personal use? Well I'll be using it for personal use at first, but I know some clans that would probably be interested in it, so I may get a couple of customers eventually.

Daersun Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I would still suggest going with another company to not have to set everthing up. Its only 20$/month more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTurnbull Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'd really like to learn to use TCAdmin, and rent my own servers etc. Is there anything I should read up on and learn about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will be reading the forum thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
