Fast Download Question

[Felipe T]

Until now, I used to set files to sync as "*.bz2 -r;"

 

But with the new feature, I want to release all files like maps, models, sounds, etc to be synced, so users won't have to upload 2 times the same file (the original and the compressed)

 

But there's a problem here.. Will FastDownload sync the original game files? If it does, this will be a big problem to set every original map, sound, model, etc excluded from syncing.

Sync files: maps\* -r;models\* -r;materials\* -r;sound\* -r;

Exclude files: default games file

Compression, checked with bz2 option.

 

It will take original, compress and put it on the fastDL.

 

You will need to remove the .bz2 files on the actual game server manually.

Ok... So I'll have to write a really big list of default game files and set there in "Exclude Files"?

 

Oh god... This will give me a lot of work

Again, you're the best!

 

The last time I've seen this wiki, it was much more simple.. Thanksss =D

[Felipe T]

Ok... Now, we have another problem. I've generated all files from maps, materials, models and sound (for TF2), but when I insert them, seems not to complete. I think there are too many archives (more then 1mb of txt file to insert there, pretty big don't you think?)

[Bubka3]

Be patient, it takes awhile. It would be great if Luis put it on another page, as it affects saving of other settings or tabs.

manually add to the database, That's what i did.

[Felipe T]

It's more then 1MB of text file... Could it make TCAdmin run slower?

[Bubka3]

I'm not sure of the performance effects. Mine runs fine.

[LFA]

It's just the game page that takes a long time to save when you have a large list. Everything else is fine.

It's just the game page that takes a long time to save when you have a large list. Everything else is fine.

For that reason, can you move it into another page, and place a button for Exclude Files List.

[LFA]

I'll see what I can do

Hello,

 

How can i create a list of exclude files from a linux server?

I think i can't run .bat files from ssh.

[LFA]

I don't have a script for Linux yet. You can download the game on Windows with hldsupdatetool.exe or compress and download the files to your PC and run the script there.

[Felipe T]

How do you insert it on your database?

 

I use SQLite, and when I open it with Notepad I see some weird characters...

 

I'm afraid of saving it and TCAdmin bugs

[Bubka3]

Use a SQLite Browser, plenty of them on google.

[LFA]

if you use firefox install the addon named sqlite manager. You don't need to edit the database manually. Just copy the text file's contents. Paste it in the exclude field.

[Felipe T]

Is there anyway to generate the files list without the path?

 

I've tried to use with path, but TCAdmin is still syncing.. I'm having a lot of work to remove each path from the list

[Bubka3]

Yes, it's called CTRL + H.

 

Find: common/not/need/path

Replace: <null> aka nothing, leave this blank.

I was trying this, but like I said, there were too many files from Team Fortress 2 maps, materials, models and sounds.

 

I did this file using this batch, then I used excel to place ; at the end of each file

 

for /r C:\temp %%g in (*) do echo %%~nxg>>list.txt

 

It also made the Fast Download sync very slow... Sometimes it looks like crashed. Does it happens to you?
