Your path z:\gameinstalls\cod4

 

 

And when TCA installs should look something like this

 

z:\userfiles\clientname\gamservers\tcaserviceID1823757547574747

 

Did you use TCA to do the install? or did you place it there manually?

Tca does not know where to look unless it installed the game.

 

TCA Calls and installs from the gameinstalls folder but installs them to the userfiles path.

 

 

EDIT.. In addition, in my experience if the files are not in the correct folder TCA will not even offer them to be installed in the game server creation page drop down of available games for the selected server.

What's this business about rar'ing the files into \gameinstalls\gamename? Is this a new trick?

I've always dumped a fully extracted copy of the game into \gameinstalls\gamename

 

If you rar or zip them, then only 1 file is FTP'ed out to your remote servers, and is considerably faster than FTP'ing all the small files.

I need to check with Luis on what he is sending out in the welcome email. The directories.pdf document clearly shows all that directory info that you had a problem with.

 

 

I can Help you there ECF as this is a copy of my email I got today! My key and installer DL link removed of course. ;)

Hello

 

Thank you for your order. Your TCAdmin license key has been generated.

 

Key:

 

 

**Important**

- When adding remote servers to this license make sure you type this license key so it is added correctly.

 

Requirements:

Knowledgebase:

http://esupport.tcadmin.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=view

 

Administrator's Guide:

http://my.tcadmin.com/downloads/tcadmin.pdf

 

Quick overview of how TCAdmin works:

TCAdmin uses a monitor application. This application is always running on your master and remote servers. This monitor can be running in console mode or as a service. When you first run TCAdmin it is recommended that you run it in console mode to see it everything starts up correctly.

 

The Control Panel is web based, so you will need IIS installed on your master server or on a separate server.

While configuring TCAdmin you will be prompted to create a website or virtual directory. If you create a website you will access the control panel using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port. If you create a virtual directory you will access the control panel using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/directory name, usually tcadmin.

 

 

Getting Started:

TCAdmin comes preconfigured with 28 game types (you need to provide the game files). When running the TCAdmin Configuration Tool the directory structure will be created. By default the games folder is located at c:\GameInstalls. The user files is located at c:\UserFiles. What you need to do is place the game files in its own folder in c:\GameInstalls. For example:

The installation files for Counterstrike go in c:\GameInstalls\CS

The installation files for COD go in c:\GameInstalls\COD

 

Then you can log in to your control panel and create a game server by clicking on "Create a Game and Voice Server" page. When the game server is created the files are copied to c:\UserFiles.

 

If you want to add support for more games you can configure them yourself or you can find more TCAdmin game configuration files in our forums. You will need to register because this is a hidden forum. The files you find here can be imported into TCAdmin by going to System Settings > Supported Games and click on Import.

You can create zip or RAR files with names matching the game file folder and put them in C:\Gameinstall

 

Example: CS has a folder like this: C:\Gaminstalls\CS. Take the contents within the CS folder and create a zip or rar called CS.zip or CS.rar and put them in C:\Gameinstalls.

 

TCAdmin will use the compressed file instead of the full file set. This is used primarily when you are pulling files from your master server to a remote server in another datacenter.

If everyone read the manual I'm sure most of the questions would be answered :)

 

 

Of that I am sure.. There are always unique issues that the manual can't resolve but for the most part all the knowledge you need to become intimate with the aplication is in the book.

 

If I may quote L. Ron Hubbard. " Read the Book!!" ;)

This is a neat trick, great tip!

What happens with the TCA.Mods and TCA.Patches etc though, do you zip those along with the rest of the game files?
