L3gacy Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm trying to put together a config for AA:PG but am running into issues. I can't seem to get the game to run outside of TCAdmin so I'm nowhere near ready to get it running in TCAdmin yet. I'm still working on that issue though. My question, and I hope someone can help, is how do you run AA servers if they require a new IP and use default ports? Do I need to use virtual servers or is there an easier way to do this that I'm overlooking? Also, the AA community has claimed that the servers will only run on default ports but I saw a post on these forums where someone was specifying ports via command line. I tried to do that but the server kept crashing. Is there a way to make AA:PG run on different ports? I know it's a lot of questions but hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction. Any assistance is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 In the game config under 'IP and Ports' you can select that it should only use default ports. Then you just specify the IP in the command line, and voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDoze Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I am using this for the command line: /ds MaxPlayers=$[service.Slots] ServerIP=$[service.IpAddress] SteamServerIP=$[service.QueryPort] /Auth /AuthServerUserName=$[user.UserName] /AuthServerPassword=$[user.Password] /Global /NoHomeDir /Unattended /NoPause /Log=Gameserver.log /ConfigSubDir=AAHostAServerConfig0 But the server fails to start because the launcher window starts on the server!?! And the luncher windows doesn't have any of the comand line info automatically entered, as if it's unable to read the commandline...? When I use the same command line when launching it via the cmd window manually, I get the same launcher window popup, again without any of the command line info. Does anyone have an example working command line? BTW, Yes, the server is registered. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 and add a /DS at the end like this (after the quotations): "C: \ProgramFiles (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\America's Army\AAPG\Binaries\AALauncher32.exe" /DS Reference URL: http://steamcommunity.com/app/203290/discussions/6/846963165509522965/?l=italian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proclan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Launch the game using this option: AAPG\Binaries\Win32\AAGame.exe and this command line: server BDX_Breach_EX /GLOBAL /AuthServerUserName=$[user.UserName] /AuthServerPassword=$[user.Password] /AuthServerIP=$[service.IpAddress] /STEAMSERVERIP=$[service.IpAddress] MULTIHOME=$[service.IpAddress] /NOPAUSE /NOHOMEDIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDoze Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ok, so I got it working manually from the server, but starting it from tcadmin fails.... When I run the server manually from the tcadmin folder on the server with the AALauncher32.exe it starts with no issues. This starts the game with this command line: "C:\TCAFiles\Users\User\236\AAPG\Binaries\win32\AAGame.exe" server BDX_Intercept_EX /GLOBAL /AuthServerUserName=AuthUser /AuthServerPassword=AuthPass /AuthServerIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /STEAMSERVERIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MULTIHOME=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /NOPAUSE /NOHOMEDIR /CONFIGSUBDIR=AAHostAServerConfig0 /SAP=8780 /SGSP=8777 /SQP=8781 /INST=1 However, when I run it from the TCAdmin Panel it first gives a "Steamworks DLL not found" error box on the server, then when OKed out of that, it is unable to authenticate the server with AA or Steam, so it fails. This is starting the game server with this command line: C:\TCAFiles\Users\User\236\AAPG\Binaries\win32\AAGame.exe server BDX_Breach_EX /GLOBAL /AuthServerUserName=AuthUser /AuthServerPassword=AuthPass /AuthServerIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /STEAMSERVERIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MULTIHOME=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /NOPAUSE /NOHOMEDIR /CONFIGSUBDIR=AAHostAServerConfig0 /SAP=8780 /SGSP=8777 /SQP=8877 /INST=1 I was thinking running from the server the service is run as Administrator, hence why steam would work. So I set the server to be run as Local System via the TCAdmin game config file, but this made no difference. Could it be the " before and after the execute line? But how would I add these in tcadmin?

Raizio Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Could it be that you have Steam itself installed and possibly running on the server? If so, then you have steam's dlls loaded and cached under Administrator. Hence it works there. It really means you just miss the steamworks dll's(also happens with UDK games.) Place them in the same folder as the executable for the server. Steam.dll,steam_api.dll, tier0.dll Might even be more like steamclient.dll You can all find them in the steam client.

NoDoze Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Got it working! Had to specify the working directory: AAPG\Binaries\win32\ Thanks to Luis However, now the protocol isn't working....
