Security must : run service as "automatically"

[Derek]

so if your running 1000FPS servers and having "interact with desktop" using this won't work?

 

What does this got to do with 1000FPS game servers ?

Not in my experience lol interact with desktop is only good for troubleshooting the console

well I couldnt say that for 1000FPS but for 512 I know it didnt and I didnt see why it would for 1000, but gd that you can confirm.

We have this up and running now..... I think.....

 

But both on here, and within the instructions there is the script to use on install, but nothing to use for the uninstal script.

 

Does it need one? And if so, could someone post what to use.

 

Thanks

I recommend no uninstall script.

 

When a new user is created his profile takes a few Kb only. when you delete it some files remain (needs a reboot to delete them) so if you recreate an user with same username it will create another profile (it doesnt overwrite existing files).

Without uninstall scripts user dont get deleted and if user already exists from a previous server creation it just wont create it again.

 

Sorry if thats confusing, but to answer your question : its better having no uninstall script for that feature.

[Johnny5_Hull]

thanks dimitri......

 

Wish I'd waited for you to answer

 

I found an uninstall script for it in another thread...... just spent ages copying it into all my server instances, lol.

 

that'll teach me

Hello Guys,

 

ive noticed a problem with the serverid section.

for %%* in (.) do set serviceid=%%~n* is called based on the Relative Working Directory for games such as Ravenshield this would return system as the serviceid this would cause your script to fail on sections.

 

Adduser - Pass

Modify group - Pass

Remove user from group - Pass

TCAservices ACLS - Fail

GameRoot ACLS - Pass

Service logon - Fail

 

Ive tested this with bf2 useing this script

for %%* in (.) do set serviceid=%%~n*

echo >

echo %serviceid% >> %gameserverroot%/log.txt

echo %serverip%%serverport% >> %gameserverroot%/log.txt

 

No matter what i change the Relative Working Directory to it will always return the folder name listed in the Relative Working Directory anyway just thought id mention this.

 

Cheers

 

Sorry im a bit busy atm so had to kind of rush typed

Hello Dimitri!

Thx for your script, it is very cool.

But i have a small problem. Tcadmin was installed in different folders on each box. Is there any possibility to include each path in the install script?

[dimitrifrom31]

you can list all your different paths in each install script, non existing paths will just be skipped when script is executed.

[tehrichie]

Giving this a shot

related to R4Z0R49 comment :

 

the "Relative Working Directory" must be empty in each of your game config using that feature.

Does the runmeas script take awhile to run? seems it gets hung up and I need to restart the whole process over and over.

a few seconds max if u got a lot of files (hl2 games, etc)

 

try to run it "manually" making a bat and replacing variables by values and adding a pause at the end.

 

 

COuld be that you system is infected somehow check for the Doc & settings user folder size. If thats big one then you should clean it.

[tehrichie]

How big we talking here?

[tehrichie]

It took some time but it looks like it finished successfully.

[dimitrifrom31]

default user profile should.be 1Mb more or less

[tehrichie]

They're all 147 mb

[dimitrifrom31]

thats why its hanging, im talkin bout this in the guide. clean the default user profile and run a malware scan

[tehrichie]

Got it figured out. Thanks.

[dimitrifrom31]

u can sue ccleaner to keep ur default user profile light. Set it to run on logon and clean the default user profile folder so everytime you log on it will delete unnecessary files and keep it below 1Mb.

The bigger the profile, the longer it hangs.

 

with a 300Mb profile it took up to 6 hours before server actually started.

Do I have to log into the actual clients login now to use the option 'interact with desktop' or what?

[dimitrifrom31]

interact with desktop must not be checked.

To apply changes you can restart servers or just wait until they get restarted.

[tehrichie]

No no, I'm asking how do I access interact with desktop now to view a clients server console? I'm doing it my normal way using mstsc /admin but it is not showing up under my admin login. Do I have to login to the actual clients username now to look?

[dimitrifrom31]

just go to services.msc change the service properties to be started as system or ur admin account then interact with desktop.

 

Note that you don't really need interact with desktop, you can also make a .bat with server executable and command line and start it manually.
