Sorry folks,
I updated software last night, and while doing so I changed the directory TWGS was installed in. Appeared to do just fine on this end, untill I got the messages this morning that the games had disappeared.
I realized that the game path for each game hand't moved and was still looking in the old location. I've corrected now and all should be working again.
Sorry about the outage.

I'm glad that's all it was. There's really no reason you'd ever want to change the directory when installing an update. I'll see if I can disable that.

I did it by choice. it did try to intall in the directory it was installed in. I forced the move. I then moved the games, but forgot to change the game paths.
I did the move to enable my scripts running locally that support my webpage to run more efficiantly. They run as batch files, but the path "Program Files" seems to throw a lot of errors in DOS lol.

I did get the progra~1 to work before I changed the location. Quotes seemed to have no effect on the scripts. I hear these old scripts may be out of date anyways :wink:

You can change the location of games independently of the server itself. They're not required to be in the [TWGS]\Games subdirectory. Also, you can move TWGS manually and change the Root Directory setting in Config/Server. But yeah, you will need to update the directory your games point to if you move them. No harm in moving them, though.
