Team Fortress 2 config for TcAdmin

[Travis Bickle]

I have noticed when using that generic server configuration, a lot of commands are "not known". I looked into it and it seems that TF2 has made some changes with cvars used in game, only natural with an entirely new game, different from the rest. I ran a 'cvarlist' in rcon, copied all the new existing server variables, picked out the ones important for server configuration and created a working server.cfg with all the variables for TF2.

server.cfg

lol which is why we never do pre release we rather just give our clients a good price along the way

 

hmm seams to not work though sigh

[Johnny5_Hull]

I hope someone can help me on this...

 

Ive used the script provided in this thread (the latter script ) but just keep getting the following message when trying to create a sever...

 

An error occurred while creating the game server: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

 

The failure email I get through says

 

Could not copy game server files from ftp: /Games/TF2 to C:\Userfiles\clientname\GameServers\TC23330606432825816818044

 

Its vexing me, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas.

 

Thanks

Have you by chance created an stand alone FTP account in TCAdmin with the username admin?

[Johnny5_Hull]

Yes..... we have.......

 

Good or Bad?

 

Actually thinking about it, I don't think we have....

 

do you mean one which would display on the following page Admin Home > FTP Accounts ?

[ECF]

Yes. On Main menu their is an FTP icon. If you created an admin ftp user under there, delete it.

[Johnny5_Hull]

Ahaaaa ....

 

We hadn't created an additional FTP client as admin, it was actually the fact that I had buggered the script up when changing some of the config values.

 

All sorted now though, my hand has been slapped

 

Cheers though, I know know that creating an account would be bad.

hey, how do i install a config file into tcadmin? not sure exactly what to paste where?

[JasonF]

System Settings >> Supported Games >> Import

[Crim]

Hi, what’s the command for reserved slots?

 

Thank you.

it seems like since the update with steam i cannot get my Team Fortress 2 to work. it says that it is started on the interface but the server is not online. i tried looking in the logs but don't seem to see the issue. It is the same problem with Garrysmod. did steam do something since its update to change the interface?

[Johnny5_Hull]

Not that I'm being a nay-sayer, but ours are all working fine

 

Without implicating anything, did you patch them up correctly?

[atwservers]

i patched them up fine, not sure if i have to alter anything in the configs for TCAdmin. i had Team Fortress 2 working fine until i updated the game.

[Johnny5_Hull]

Not that I am aware of...

 

Liek I say, I just did the usual.. patched with the tcadmin update tool, then applied the patch to the TF2 servers and they all are fine....

 

I wonder if anyone else has noticed anything?

[atwservers]

Johnny do you have skype by any chance, maybe we can share some information that would benefit each other?

[JasonF]

atwservers,

 

Did you update your game files using STEAM or the hldsupdatetool.exe. I have seen a lot of clients installing STEAM on the server and installing game files that way instead of using the hldsupdatetool.exe. You should be using the hldsupdatetool.exe to get server files.

[Johnny5_Hull]

That is what I was trying to get at Vet cheers

 

And no, I don't have skype im afraid

[atwservers]

i used the hldsupdatetool, never really thought of using the steam client for game server configs. would seem strange to have to download the steam client and get the games from their instead of using the update tool

[JasonF]

I would force another update for TF2 and Garry's Mod to make sure the update did not fail and only partially update the server files.

[atwservers]

Jason do you have your tcadmin automatically setup to install files from the modernbill? and i will try another reinstall

[JasonF]

I do not believe in complete automation so no I do not have it setup. I don't find it all that time consuming to have to go in and type in the username/password and choose a game. Not sure why some people are absolutely dead set on this part to be honest with you. Also while I am setting it up I check for fraud.

[milergenuendraft]

does any one have a copy of a working server.cfg file i can use i cant find one anywhere

[JasonF]

I am sure everyone's server.cfg for TF2 is different. Here is a basic one that works fine.

great thank you

Well, this is a lot more complicated than I expected, but I am sure I am just ramping up the learning curve. So I have been trying to install TF2, which is not part of the standard installation. Is this script some kind of automation for the "supported game/create new"? I could use some help with this. I am not sure what to do with this file at all. I did install tf2 into c:\gameinstalls\tf2 and I tried to step through creating a game in the "supported game/create new" following the example of cstrike. But, I must have something wrong.

If this script does automate that process, how do you import it? I assume I have to grab some default config files as well (server.cfg etc)

Thanks, kp
