Auto Server update

[Munra]

I am not a GSP but I still hope you would consider this feature.

 

I think for people using TCadmin as a Way to manage servers for a community an autoupdate feature for steam games would be great.

 

It can also be done with the steam api

 

Example.

 

http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v0001/?appid=440&version=1.1.8.3&format=xml

 

Or instead of making it update servers individually it would create an batch update automatically. Then we can apply it to the servers.

 

Thanks

I didn't know about that url. I will see how we can use this in tcadmin. Thanks.

[Munra]

Have you given this any more thought?

 

 

This by far the most important feature missing from TCadmin, this and batch updates.

Yeah, I agree with Munra. Auto update would be great, even just for game install files if not also user files.

autoupdate would be badass

autoupdate would be badass

 

 

ya it would, now that you can do batch updates, using the steamapi to trigger it automatically create a batch file would be awesome.

how do you have the steam api read the server and check the version?

You don't

 

You have TCadmin check the server version number against the steam API.

 

which is why I provided a link in my first post.

Sorry to beat I a dead horse but this feature is very important

 

I notice that your already store version number on tc_game_service_live_stats, at least for source games. So this should be trivial to do. Alteast add some type of api call to force a steam update or better yet creating a steam update file.
