PostPosted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 2:26 pm    Post subject: Game file downloads Reply with quote

Hello

I am currently testing GameCreate

What i am doing at this current moment in time is install game server files on a linux machine.

Currently Mohaa is installing but all the other games we have submitted are "waiting for host" i am wondering is there away we can download more than one game at once or can we only download one game at once

Thanks again
Lee

We use to allow multiple games to install at once, but figured that its better to just allow one game to download at a time to not thrash the host's disk and hamper performance downloading all games at once.

Not at this time though, however it's something we can think about to make it as an option at a later date.

Also if its the speed of the installation that matters, it will probably be slow fetching the files from our Australian content server.

If you have many hosts (ie, not just one) you can setup a local content server and have your hosts download content from that host instead of our server.

We dont have a local content services we basicly want a fresh start again.

Is there someway we can have and FTP with download rights i will pay for the bandwidth i use. Just to get Game create up and going with a master file server located at our end would be fantastic.

This is just to speed up the downloads for us if you want to use our file server thats fine i dont mind just to get everything live as i stated i will pay for the Bandwidth i use from Game create for downloading the files.

Thanks again

Hi Lee,

I think you misunderstood what I meant.

How many hosts do you plan to be using?

Theres around 40 - 50 machines

But as i stated i need the files to be downloaded from my end.

So my customers get faster downloads which is what i am trying to do get the files and then go ahead and tell it to download the windows and linux servers files from us

Yep, understood - That's what the local content server can do.

*You* can setup a local webserver that has a copy of all your game installations.

Anything not on your webserver you can have GameCreate download it from ours.

So for example, if you go out and download the MoH dedicated server from a website and set it up - you can then tell GameCreate that your hosts should download the files from a local computer in your network - instead of a webserver located in Australia.

Does that sound helpful? That's what you would be after.

Ok

As i said before tho i need the control panel up asap with all files working we have a very large Dedicated server customer base and the problem being its taking just over 2 hours to do half a game so if i can run more downloads at once i would appricate that.

What i was asking if i can pay to get some FTP access just so i can download the game server files for windows and linux then i will host them in the UK and America if you want you can go ahead and set it so customers can use my servers to download i really dont mind but i need it all fast if you see what i am saying.

Won't be able to give you any FTP access to these servers (even for just downloading). It's something we would have to think about for a bit.

What you could do is install GameCreate on a few other hosts and install separate games on them as well?

No offence taken - It's just its not something we can at a whim just hand over (even though I think it would be fine, we need to check into it).

What games are you wanting to install?

Then once i install the games i am going to set the downloads to come from my servers then i can start getting clients setup and going.
