I looked at this the other day and ran away as it looked a right pain, i might give it another stab though. Have you managed it yet?

[w00der]

I managed to set this up what an awesome tool, the community I play with are lapping it up. I wish I had taken the time to install this years ago.

I had no problem with it on 32 bit, but did not have any luck on 64 bit. I could not find the needed perl libraries for 64 bit.

Is this setup as a game service? If so someone have a TCAdmin config file they'd share?

[wondorae]

this is something i might be looking at offering to our clients

but have problems from what i gather client will need

1. access to install files

2. and to be able to start/stop/restart the run_b3.py file

 

i have figured out the solution for 1

just need to find solution for 2.

is there a way through tcadmin that a script could be setup to exec run_b3.py -c <config location here>

 

only poss solution i have come up with so far which might work would be ssh access to dir

 

if anyone knows of anything please give me a shout

I created a bat file to do this.

[xpservers]

yea its workin great for us

 

creat a .bat file in the b3 directory. easy should look like this

 

C:\Python25\python.exe "./b3_run.py"

 

create a game service for tcadmin to start the .bat file

How is this on system resources?

 

Obviously id have to charge more (as an option) if they chose to use this if it is system heavy.

[DougK94]

Has anyone had any luck getting this to run on 64 bit?

[wondorae]

b3 doesnt seem to be system heavy...

not on our anyway its quite minimal once its setup and going the only problem we get sometimes is the fact it needs restarting every other day.

... and sorry dough we aint tested it on 64bit yet

[xpservers]

yes were running on 64 bit,, works perfectly fine with minimal system resources.

[DougK94]

Good ....I will need to try it again then. I have not for a few months, I had problems with a couple of the required python libraries for 64 bit.

Just ran across this in the forums. So you guys are running mysql and python on the physical servers the games are on? Also do you create a new instance for each customer that requests it? Are you charging this as a service?
