Mizfar Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello, does anyone have GTA SA:MP game files? I can find MTA files but have only seen one SA:MP config file, which doesn't really work. I would much appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks, Mizfar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehrichie Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 http://www.sa-mp.com/download.php The server files for windows can be found there. It includes everything to get a server started up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizfar Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks for the reply. I was stupid enough to call them games files. I meant config file. I had the game files already. Its the config file I need help with. I can manage a very simple one that starts and stops the server but I need one that can set up the rcon password and set the slots. I don't particularly want to go down the route of having to create a python executed script to fetch the information from the database and place the info in it by before starting up the server. That's why I was wondering if there is a method of making TCAdmin to edit the server.cfg file change the rcon password and server slots fields. I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this. Thanks, Mizfar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpgservers Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Setup a default server.cfg and use the variables %rconpassword% and %slots%. Place those variables in the server.cfg instead of a default number and then setup your game from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizfar Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks for you reply, I can get it working now, the only problem I have is that once the server.cfg file is created the user can simply edit the server.cfg file and change the slots and port of the server. Is there is a system in TCAdmin which would check the server.cfg file before starting the service replacing the %slots% and %serverport% variables with the ones that the has been set through TCAdmin and not the ones that may have been set by the user. I would appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpgservers Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 TCAdmin does monitor that if you set it up to do so. The server will be disabled by default and an email sent to you and the customer depending on how you configure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizfar Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply. I am glad to hear this is possible, could you please elaborate a little more on how this may be done, or what the setting I need to change is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizfar Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 I think I just figured it out. Thanks for your help anyways. It has been much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizfar Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 I have set up the Game Monitor so it disables the server and sends the admin an email if %slots% variable is changed, however it doesn't seem to do anything when a client changes the slots variable in their configuration file. TCAdmin seems to know where the variable as it is creating the slots variable when the game server/service is created, however it does not monitor the variable after that. I was also wondering if there is a way for the TCAdmin game monitor to trigger the same response when other variables are changed such as %serverport%.

lpgservers Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I haven't run this game so I don't know but can you set the slot and port in the command line like most games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 TCAdmin only monitors the game slots, public/private and the branding text variables. it does not monitor anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizfar Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Aaah, okay its not a huge issue for me at the moment, but I would like to request you to add %serverport% variable as a variable that tcadmin monitors. Even better would be if we could select which variables are monitored by TCAdmin. I think its important to monitor %serverport% as if left unchecked clients could potentially try and run the server on ports allocated to other client's servers. Which would make it quite chaotic. It could also be used as a method of hijacking other client's server's players and ninja-ing of ports. Thanks. Mizfar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizfar if they change their port then their server will not answer to the TCA queries on original port and be considered as down so it gona be restarted/stopped depending on ur settings. Set TCA to restart 1 or 2 times crashed servers adn then stop after 3 times not answering to queries if ur sworried about port changing. For some games that are not supported by TCA it could be an issue but not for SAMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
