AvP Config File

[trancemode]

It's crashing because you need to run steam on the background

It's crashing because you need to run steam on the background

 

We have a open steam connection this is not the issue

[trancemode]

It might have to do with the recent update or some sort

 

I was able to run it background avp and steam

but server just crashed or don't respond Now

 

so I took it off tcadmin and ran steam and avp console pop up

and it worked fine

 

anyone else got it to work good?

[{-SMAKU-}_MotorMouth]

Which two are you using in the server port and query port in TCadmin.

 

gameport

authport

lobbyport

updateport

[SickPuppy]

From what I can see TCAdmin is failing to set the game up as a service. The config we are using works when starting the game on the desktop but TCAdmin is not creating a service or is unable to start a service.

[trancemode]

Any tcadmin staff know about this?

[SickPuppy]

We have solved the AvP3 TCAdmin issue, but we are not willing to share this information at this time. We will only provide a config and instructions for installing the servers after we build up our AVP3 customer base.

 

Sorry but after all of the hours we have placed into this we have to get something back out of it

 

And who knows the next patch might fix this issue

I might have missed something but has a tca configuration file come out for aliens vs predator yet?

 

Has any one found a way to shrink the damn 15GB dedicated server files that steam put out.

 

Thanks!

no there no way to shrink it until rebellion can release this

without using steam but the game is about 15gb so I doubt

they will ever shrink it unless taking out the single player files

I keep getting a disconnect error it seems with some of my servers. Maybe a problem with the ports.

Anyone else getting disconnected whenever the lobby ends and the game starts?

could be a bug .

 

do you have the command host in the default .cfg?

[KevinJ]

Yes, usually at the very bottom.

[Dr. Kitteny Berk]

I've had the same problem, not even got any TCA type stuff going on with it yet, just steam and a shortcut.

[SickPuppy]

I think this game is already dead. Another botched release

[wondorae]

yeah the online dedicated certainly seems that way somethink like 100 servers with only 7 or 8 being played in when i checked last doesnt realy change from that no matter the time of day, shame realy

[Dr. Kitteny Berk]

So, anyone got anything like a working config etc they're willing to share yet?

 

The community I admin for has gone and fallen in love with AvP, and it's still proving a bugger to host.

Not sure if you guys have seen this yet, but a rather nice boost, if a tad late!

Dedicated server

 

New Features:

 

* Dedicated server no longer needs the Steam client to be running.

* Dedicated server can use DLC maps.

* New console/config file commands for dedicated server for friendly fire, team balancing and species balancing options.

* New console command to set a Message of the Day

* When joining a dedicated server on which a round is in-progress you now have a limited time to choose your species/team and skin before entering the game, if the game mode and server settings allow this.

* The dedicated server now installs to a standalone directory, and the install size is now ~2.2GB instead of 15GB

* Improved feedback and output for various console commands

* Improved server console output when players disconnect

* Improved server console output when there are problems starting the server

* Additional server console output about the Steam connection

* The dedicated server will now also be available via the HLDSupdate tool. Please note that while we believe there should be no problems as both the Steam Client version and the HLDSupdate version are identical, we cannot test the HLDSupdate version without making it available to everybody. Server administrators are advised to install and use the HLDSupdate version using their discretion.

[ViolentCrimes]

Config Anyone?

[Dr. Kitteny Berk]

As it didn't mention it in the news post, the hlds update tool name for this is "aliensvspredator"

[trancemode]

Yeah, it wasn't added when update was out since they mention they had to contact VALVE about it, but good to see its up.

[SickPuppy]

I have uploaded a working AvP3 config to my TCAdmin config download page.

 

http://208.77.144.55/downloads/TCAdminConfigs/

 

It will run on a Windows 2003 x64 OS can't say about 2008

 

You neeed to run the service as administrator and it will not display on the desktop

Were you able to get the query to work on TCadmin?

or the game compatability? would it be avp 2?

It's only 3 weeks late. Game = dead

[qisback]

thanks.

I've taken quite a bit from these forums so I'll give something back.

 

Game Comp = HL2

Query Port = updateport

thanks going to try it out.

 

also on the config sickpuppy, you should add the steam update you can fill in aliensvspredator so you can use the hldsupdatetool.exe
