Automatic FastDL (see http://help.tcadmin.com/Fast_Downloads )

[jargen]

Cant believe people didnt already work this out, or if they did, not bother telling everyone else about it. With some help from Luis i have managed to make a automatic FastDL script, now since i run TCAdmin on port 80 i had to setup a web server to run on port 90 for this to work. (Im not writing a guide on how to do that, look it up).

 

Now this is for a Garrysmod server running on Windows. There will be slight changes between OS's and games but it cant be hard to work out.

 

1) Go to Game Settings -> Garrysmod -> Custom Scripts (Scroll down)

 

2) Click New

 

3) Set script engine to "Batch File/Shell Script" and event to "Before Started"

 

4) Enter this into the big text box "ROBOCOPY %Service_RootDirectory%orangebox\garrysmod C:\YOURWEBSERVERURL\%Service_ServiceId%\garrysmod /S /XF *.lua *.bat *.dll *.html gamemodes settings" (No quotation marks)

 

5) Save then go back to the Garrysmod game settings and go to the Configuration Files button

 

6) Click server.cfg then the template tab. Then add this line anywhere in the file

 

sv_downloadurl "http://$[service.IpAddress]:90/$[service.ServiceId]/garrysmod/"

 

(Edit that url if you have the fastdl directory not in the root)

 

7) Save all that and go back to the Garrysmod game settings again and then click "Update Existing Services"

 

And thats it! Everytime the user reboots the fastdl gets updated (for cache updates 2 restarts may be required, cant see a way round that). For your existing servers you will need to add the relevant downloadurl line into their server.cfg's, but all new servers will have fastdl setup and ready to go automatically.

 

Hope this helps.

 

p.s The first time the server is started/restarted since you applied the script will take awhile, but once its copied all the files the first time it only copies what is new (unconfirmed) and what is missing. Which saves alot of time.

can you please tell me the script for cs 1.6 on linux server?

[jargen]

Im pretty sure its mostly the same, you have to change the variables around abit to work with linux.

 

Since i havent worked with cs 1.6 i dont know where the folder for it is. So i will assume its called cstrike and is in the orangebox folder, simple to fix if it isnt. ALL THIS IS UNTESTED

 

Right, The code on Step 4 becomes: "cp ${Service_RootDirectory}orangebox\cstrike C:\YOURWEBSERVERURL\${Service_ServiceId}\cstrike -u -R" (No Quotes)

 

and Step 6 becomes:

 

sv_downloadurl "http://$[service.IpAddress]:90/$[service.ServiceId]/cstrike/"

 

Also a note for everyone, :90 is only on the downloadurl because that is how i have my web server setup to run along side tcadmin. You will need to edit that to become compatible with your setup (Remove :90 if you havent changed the port)

[theocss]

just an observation cs 1.6 is not with orangebox it changes the order right?

"changes the order" ?

[theocss]

cp ${Service_RootDirectory}orangebox\cstrike C:\YOURWEBSERVERURL\${Service_ServiceId}\cstrike -u -R

 

Orangebox ??

Cs 1.6 not use orangebox its 1.6 not css

[jargen]

Easy enough to fix the path. I have never used CS 1.6

[theocss]

Just a question that creates the folder and is called or how? (the case of the mirror)

[kaytaro]

is there supposed to be a button or something in the tc admin to click to sync it?

[frbnet]

i have created a CSS fastdl update before started script

i have set it to "Batch File/Shell Script" and event to "Before Started"

and script line is "%Service_RootDirectory%tools\SourceRSC.exe /ini:example.ini" (No quotation marks) but can't get it to run

 

any idea what might be wrong, works fine if I manually execute the commands on the server itself

[icekohl]

@frbnet

%Service_RootDirectory% should be ${Service_RootDirectory} if your using v2

[frbnet]

I have tried, not working

[3nf]

?who has run hopefully to work with cs 1.6? because I could not make it work,

master server does not work, nor with remote servers I am doing wrong?

 

before installing the tcadmin v2, used the IIS manager, to make the fast DL, from the same game server

 

ROBOCOPY %Service_RootDirectory%cstrike C:\xx.xx.xx.133\%Service_ServiceId%\cstrike /S /XF *.lua *.bat *.dll *.html gamemodes settings

 

http://xx.xx.14.60:81/78/cstrike/"

 

 

Server error

404: File or directory not found.

Why don't you use the built in fast download? http://help.tcadmin.com/Fast_Downloads

[jargen]

Yeah, LFA i would suggest you lock this now. Since its abit pointless due to that update.
