Using Install/Uninstall Scripts (with Windows Firewal integration example)

With the release of the latest version of TCAdmin, we have introduced "Install/Unistall" scripts for automated game setups. This feature allows you to specify scripts that are executed right after the game server is created and before the game server is deleted. The script format should be batch on Windows and shell script on Linux and are executed in the game server's root folder. This feature is configured in System Settings > Supported Games > Install/Uninstall Scripts.

The following example explains how to automatically add the game server's executable to Windows Firewall and remove it when the game server is deleted:

Add the following line as the Install script:
netsh firewall add allowedprogram "%gameserverexe%" %serverip%_%serverport% ENABLE

Add the following line as the Uninstall script:
netsh firewall del allowedprogram "%gameserverexe%"


When the game server executable is added it will show up in the Firewall settings as ip_port.
