Hi all
wanted to say hi and post a few questions concerning your product.

First im totaly new to all this and although we have been running our own dedi box for a number of years iv always had help in setting them up to run our game servers , not so now though so please if the question sounds stupid its probably because its come from a nub

Iv read nearly all the posts in your forums but cant find the one question i really need answering, we all ready have a dedi box runing on Linux with 6 game servers all ready set up and working.
My question is if I set up Game Create now will it recognise those servers already running?
If not what do we need to do to allow access to those servers threw Game Create??

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You will need to create them in GameCreate.

Just try creating servers from GameCreate and configure them from there to match your existing server configuration.

Thanks for the reply Andrew
After posting i carried on reading all the posts in here and came to the conclusion that this is what I had to do :S
But over night GC has dowloaded all the games we are playing which was great
I can now set up the games we have, CSS,JK2 etc and give them the same ports that we originaly had that way theres no need to go threw the hassle of informing our gamers of new ip's etc which was also very welcome

Id also like to say how impressed i am with GC so far iv been searching for something just like this for nearly a year and stumbled across you by accident, isnt it about time you guys started to advertise lol
Just for your information we can be found at www.thegatheringclan.org and we are part of the Nuke community
Every clan I know of so far is intrested in this control pannel programe but are waiting on our reports, all of which are very good so far
Id be more than happy to have some sort of support link/advert link on our web site pointing them in your direction

[Andrew]

Sure, just send them our way (gamecreate.com) - We do not have a banner at the moment, ill see if we can get one made up.

Out of curiosity, where have you been looking for game panels?

Be sure to check out our http://www.gamecreate.com/features.php features page - theres some really neat stuff in there (such as temporary servers) which you may really like.

my fist reall problem............

Its my connection to the FTP.
I went into the FTP to see if everything was working ok, used my login name an pass, went into the first base folder then into a sub folder found a file and down loaded it no issues there but when i went into another base folder it again asked for my name and password but then refused to allow me access :S
Iv checked the permissions and im set up all the way, there shouldnt be an issue but there is
Its as though my connection to that first file is still active and iv now got a fixed path to that file and that file only.
Im using the FTP on windows vista and up until now havnt had any issues at all so im not sure if this is where the problem lies or if its some where else??

Another issue I have is user control, iv set up an account for one of my admins who has the same control of the system i do but this wont allow him to sign into the FTP at all, iv tried to del his account and then reinstall it but this fails to work as well.

Any help ya guys can give would be great

Hmmm as for the FTP, iv down loaded the trial version but still nothing changes, i still have the same issue.
Something else that appears to be an issue is I cant log out?
Iv clicked the button a few times to log out of the site and it still shows me as being logged in :s
Could this be an issue that follows on the same lines as the FTP prob??

My admin is definatly set with all the right permissions
tbh its your own fault for making the site so easy to follow lol so i know he has the correct permissions it just wont let him in to the FTP.
One thing we did find was that when he first registered he didnt get the confirmation email, so re-registered with another name but his user name matched that of the first.
Now when I added him to the permissions group he was able to access the site but nothing else.
There are a few other issues but at the moment the biggest is the FTP :S
with that working i hope that the other issue will be resolved

I've noticed that the Logout link doesn't work with Internet Explorer, so there's something to be corrected. If you manually delete the cookies the web site will ask for Login on the next session.

However it work just fine on Mozilla Firefox.

I'll do some testing to see if i can help you with the FTP issue.

[tgadmin]

FTP is working for me now??? iv not done anything diffrent.......honest
All i did was dl FLASHFXP as Andrew suggested but as far as I can tell im still going threw my vista connection :S really weired

Still the same issue with my admin, he is still having problems as above.
and with the log out issue :S

Thanks for your help

[tgadmin]

wth??? this was also resolved last night with out us doing a thing??
I asked him to try his login again as mine now worked ok, he did and it did
Have no idea why it took so long to work, nor what we did to resolve it but thats fine now.

next step now is to get TS and JK,CSS working

O and the logout issue is still there :S, just didnt want ya to think this had been resolved as well but I know your working on it ta guys

[tgadmin]

hmmm ok we wanted to change where the maps were uploaded from, some where more local so we added the web address as explained but now we are trying to update both the ET servers with the change and it wont
All its been saying now for two days is "waiting to contact host" then it fails and then it goes on a retry.
Is there any way to get out of this loop as I cant see a stop button or anything
Both servers are of line because of this up date so id like to get the issue resolved asap please guys

[Andrew]

Unfortunately there is no option to cancel a server update at the moment.

A quick work around is to probably:
* Change the IP of the host your server is on
* Restart GC Client

Wait 5 minutes and the host with your servers will go offline. Then click the 'Mark as Stopped' button under 'Server Overview' on each server.

Move the server (via Server Configuration tab) to your other host that has appeared.

Remove the old host.

[tgadmin]

wow Andrew thats not a "quick work around" thats a disaster
I dont think we can do that as the host ip is fixed by my provider and they certainly wont concider helping because of a third partys software has got ut is trouble
Surley theres a kill command some where?? that will stop the process that you guys can hack into??

Im really concerned now that trying to perform a simple task like updating a config can become such a big issue, i know this is a beta and i also know you guys work hard but there has to be an off switch some where you guys can add to the programe?
