This guide covers server administration for Los Angeles Crimes (LAC), including server management, player monitoring, and troubleshooting common issues.
Admin Overview
Los Angeles Crimes is a Unity-based game with a relatively simple dedicated server. Administration is handled through server-side configuration files and monitoring the GPanel console.
Server Console
The GPanel Console tab displays server output. Monitor it for:
- Player connection and disconnection events
- Error messages or crash reports
- Server status information
The server is stopped gracefully using GPanel's Stop button (sends Ctrl+C).
Server Management
Restarting the Server
Use the Restart button in GPanel to restart your server. This performs a clean shutdown followed by a fresh start.
Monitoring Performance
Check the GPanel dashboard for CPU and memory usage. LAC servers are generally lightweight, but performance may vary with player count and game activity.
File Management
The server's file structure includes:
LAC_Linux_v{VER}.x86_64-- The main server executableLAC_Linux_v{VER}_Data/-- Game data directory containing assets and configuration
Use the File Manager in GPanel or SFTP to browse and manage server files.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Server fails to start | Check the console for error messages. Verify the server files are intact. Try reinstalling from GPanel Settings. |
| Players cannot connect | Verify the server is running and the port is correct. Ensure both server and client are on the same version. |
| Server crashes frequently | Check the console output for crash details. Unity-based servers may crash due to memory issues -- verify your server plan has adequate resources. |
| Version mismatch | Players must use the same game version as the server. Contact support to update the server version if needed. |
