SickPuppy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's crashing because you need to run steam on the background We have a open steam connection this is not the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancemode Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 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 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Which two are you using in the server port and query port in TCadmin. gameport authport lobbyport updateport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickPuppy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickPuppy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited March 6, 2010 by SickPuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integrapynoy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJ Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Kitteny Berk Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny5_Hull Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Not sure if you guys have seen this yet, but a rather nice boost, if a tad late! http://store.steampowered.com/news/3631/ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
