Yes it does.  I believe you are getting confused with DSL modems, which
are really routers.

Re: [hlds_linux] Re: At what point is a packet considered lost?

2003-08-30 Thread antstrength
Sounds like you're on the right track with the reliable/unreliable
message types.  HL servers use UDP packets, which are not gauranteed
delivery by definition of the protocol.  At the IP layer, no
acknowledgement is sent back to the sender, so the sender can never be
sure that the packet was received.  A packet is considered "lost" if it
is not received by the recipient.

A more complex packet delievery system can be implemented at the
application layer using UDP packets, and this sounds like what is done
with halflife's reliable/unreliable message types.

I am unsure of which HUD icons you are talking about.  Servers that have
high loss may also be experiencing other problems, and the other
problems also could contribute to the phenomena you described.

Re: FW: [hlds_linux] Behind a Firewall

2003-08-30 Thread antstrength
Optimum online rocks.  I used to run a 10 player oz server on an
optimumonline cable connection.  I used to get about 950kbps up and
10Mbps down.

After almost a year of running the server, i got pinched.  They put an
upload restriction on the line, and I had to move the server elsewhere.
It is only a matter of time before you get caught.  Don't worry, we
won't say anything.

Your problem is almost certainly cpu usage.  Did you try running top on
the server when you are experiencing ping spikes?

Not my goal...someone else's.  They want to give rcon access to their
customers, but don't want them to mess with the sv_maxrate, etc.

The reason they want to give rcon access is so that these customers can
have the full functionality of hlsw.  For example, hlsw stores all
player names in a wonid database if you have the rcon password.  This
feature is nice.

So a custom frontend to halfd won't really help here.  What is necessary
is to be able to restrict access to a few commands and a few cvars.

Using ip addy for authentication is not a good idea because most players
have dynamically assigned ip addresses, and some are behind NATs, with
one ip address for multiple users.
