Created Game Doesn't Show Up in Automation Game Type List

[BlueToast]

EDIT :: SOLUTION FOUND! When you create a "Supported Game" and view the page to your new "Supported Game," at the bottom you need to go to Default Config Files and identify at least one file (can be ANY file -- even if the file you are locating is a dummy file and isn't actually used by the server) in which TCAdmin can input at least one piece of setup information (like the Server Port, # of slots, Hostname, or Server IP).

And the problem? It will not show up in the Game Type list at Admin Home > Game Server Automation. I have tried adding a New Service, using the physical location of dirserver.exe when asked, and that did not work either.

Did you install the game to the C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\ game folder after you extracted it? sometimes you need to install the game and then copy the files over to the gameinstall folder. Then in your game panel click on "Create a Game and Voice Server"

[BlueToast]

SubspaceDS is not a game, but rather a master list server for a game called Subspace (or Continuum). It stores a list of "zones" or gameservers a player can download through the game client and be able to select from one to play.

 

The contents of DirectoryServer-1.0.zip are as follows:

~/stats/
~/dirserver.exe
~/config.txt

 

They are extracted to C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\ so that the following physical paths and files are TRUE:

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\stats\
C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\dirserver.exe
C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\config.txt

[studeggle]

Game Files Folder Name: Dirserver

or from the config if you prefer

<FILESFOLDER>Dirserver</FILESFOLDER>

 

So the path should not be

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\stats\

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\dirserver.exe

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\SubspaceDS\config.txt

 

It should be

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\Dirserver\stats\

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\Dirserver\dirserver.exe

C:\TCAdmin\GameInstalls\Dirserver\config.txt

 

Or change your config.

 

And as far as the zip goes, I don't believe tcadmin understands your vers. number so it needs to be Dirserver.zip or once again change your config.

Ok, doing that fixed that problem and it now shows up in the list. But I think I have a new problem...

 

 

The Directory Server files total up to around 800KB. I created an automation for it and it has been around 8+ hours now since I did, and the server still didn't create it. The server can create Half-Life gameservers just fine, so I am thinking there might be something with the configs or what?

 

I attempted to recreate, still waiting to see if the server will actually do it.

 

EDIT :: The Pending Setups page ALWAYS says there are no pending setups, even when doing an automation for a Half-Life gameserver.

[ECF]

If you fill in the mail server settings in System Settings>Mail Server Settings the software will email you an error report if the game fails to autoinstall correctly.

 

I can tell you that 800kb will not take 8+ hours to copy over. So it has failed. As far as the pending setups page, that is used only for games that are tied into a billing system such as Modernbill or WHMCS. Normal installs will not show there.

are u using the beta software? if yes update to the latest Beta!

[BlueToast]

We're running v1.0.3231.17598. I still have to get ahold of the error logs (cause they weren't e-mailed to me).

Thank you guys! Your assistance was greatly appreciated.
