Game Server Providor - Help

[KrisiS]

Hey guys,

My GSP has agreed to run this addon for our servers but I have no idea what to tell them.

Can you confirm that the GSP needs to have installed on the box:
.NET 3
Visual Studio 2010 & 2008 Redists

Then what type of access would I need in order to use the addons functions? I currently have FTP access.

Thanks in advance

Yes the .NET and redists need to be installed (Only 2008 is needed if you don't want plugins)

If you want to use plugins you will need access to the 'plugins' folder.
The updater part: Just disable it in the sv_config if your GSP does not allow it to run.
Other than that you should be good to go.

Thanks for replying m8.

I want to run the promod plugin.
I have FTP access so there would be no problem getting to the plugin folder.

As for the program itself, do I need to run anything else within the GSP or will restarting my servers with the Admin Panel be enough?

[JariZ]

Restarting should be enough if you've placed the files from package in your server root

Thanks for your replies, you are being most helpful.

I didnt quiet understand the installation instructions.

Does the GSP simply install .NET and redists & then drop the server addon into the main folder and thats it or do they need to replace the .exe file with another ?

Sorry for the noobish questions but they are being very good accomodating this for us so I dont want to mess them about.

eh ror, a company allows you to use the addon? wow they are very brave

[KrisiS]

In what sense d0h ?

Is there a security risk for them ?

[JariZ]

@KrisiS Doesn't happen very often since these aren't 'official' files
There is no security risk because this is just adding files to the server directory

[d0h!]

if you see it from the aspect that its not legal, then yes (modified game files)

but seriously, i doubt that IW even care about such a thing. just run the server and enjoy it.
and dont worry, you are on the safe side anyway

[KrisiS]

Ok, thanks for the info.

Do i need to take iw5mp_server.exe out of the 'LINUX FIX' folder and overwrite the current .exe ?

Is that all that needs to be done ?
