How do I install a mod on my server?
« on: May 19, 2010, 01:14:44 PM »
M&B Warband specifically.

Do I just upload the entire mod file by file and change the config manually? Or should I overwrite the Native files with the mod files?

not sure about warband specifically (never played it). but every mod file should include installation instructions. generally speaking, you shouldn't overwrite ANY actual game files. mods are just addons, not replacements.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is there a way to import a folder intact or will I need to upload each file?

Or anyway to upload multiple files at once? This mod easily has a thousand files and would it take me all night to select and upload them one by one.

yeah, if you get an ftp client, you can drag and drop folders much like you would in your windows explorer.

i suggest filezilla (free & powerful).

you can get it here:

http://filezilla-project.org/

i suggest not using the web-based uploader in tcaadmin -- as you can see, moving a lot of files is a bit of a hassle.

Heya theghostsong, it's best for technical questions like this to first be asked via tcadmin support ticket, we are able to help you quicker there.
You can use the drag and drop method via filezilla, or you can zip up all of the mod files if they aren't already zipped and then upload them via filezilla to your game server.  TCAdmin can then unzip the files for you using the filemanager.  If they don't unzip to the correct location, filezilla allows you to move the files around without re uploading them (very cool).

how to use filezilla, it says that you need to connect to a server in order to move stuff there.
how to connect to the server?

Hello Erik, your email you got when you signed up should have your FTP connection info.
You open up filezilla client, for the IP put your server ip, username and password is the same as TCAdmin, port must be 2222 .

firehead, could you make a support ticket in tcadmin about this?  I'm not understanding the question or problem you're having.
