Auto Restart [RESOLVED]

[ViolentCrimes]

It seems the server are not auto restarting themselves. Does version 2 support auto restart or am I missing a setting?

[ViolentCrimes]

Might have figured it out. What is the difference between half-life 2 and half-life 2 new?

[LFA]

"half-life 2" is the original query protocol when the game came out. Later it was updated and all source games use the new protocol.

[ViolentCrimes]

Strange one of the servers is Neotokyo which uses the golden source engine which it will only query on the new one even though it is on the old old one. Also maybe instead of call it new call it (TF2 & CSS) since only TF2 CSS DODS and GMOD are on it. I will test Zombie Panic soon to see what engine it queries with but so far I haven't found one that uses that "old" one yet.

 

 

Also does it not have a service for each server to auto restart is it now in one service instead of multiple?

v2 uses qstat. To avoid confusion the names shown are the same that qstat uses.

 

v2 only has 2 services. The monitor and the service manager. To restart individual game services run TCAdminServiceBrowser.exe or ./servicebrowser on linux.

[ViolentCrimes]

So running TCAdminServiceBrowser will make the gameserver auto restart?

[LFA]

Running the service browser will show a list of all game servers. Select the one you want to start/stop.

 

When the server is restarted the service manager makes sure the game servers are started automatically.

[ViolentCrimes]

Does that included when they crash? Or is this a way to just start and stop servers without a web interface? I have had multiple servers crashing and not restarting.

[LFA]

Auto restart can be configured under "query monitoring" for each game.

 

To restart services without the web interface you use TCAdminServiceBrowser.exe on Windows or ./servicebrowser on linux.

[ViolentCrimes]

Why isn't it automatically on. No offense but we use tcadmin to make sure servers are online and restart. It would be like buying a condom and it didn't protect you from diseases or pregnancies.

It will be enabled by default on pre-configured games before public beta
