[hlds_linux] Left4Dead: Workaround for a few problems after the patch
If you have problems with either: 1) no players joining the server, 2) sv_search_key not working, 3) sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 not working, then add this at the end of your server.cfg in exact order as here (skip the comments obviously ;): sv_steamgroup number // remove if not using sv_steamgroup sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 // remove if not using sv_search_key key // remove if not using sv_search_key sv_gametypes coop,versus // do not remove and must be set last setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27011 setmaster add 69.28.140.246:27011 setmaster add 69.28.140.247:27011 setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011 Repeat: do not remove sv_gametypes or set it before either sv_search_key or sv_steamgroup_exclusive ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

I confirm it works, it made my server appear ingame in group servers. Thanks!

It works fine on linux forked servers (3 physical servers). I've put the lines from Adam in server##.cfg files and the server.cfg file.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left4Dead: Workaround for a few problems after the patch
Yep, I wasn't getting much luck with forks before either. It flatly wouldn't use the setmaster add commands in the config file specified on the command line with +exec (even though it was pulling the rest of the vars from there fine). If you manually did a setmaster on an individual server's console, it immediately showed up and players would start joining from the matchmaking system. What does work with forks however is chucking: setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27011 setmaster add 69.28.140.246:27011 setmaster add 69.28.140.247:27011 setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011 ..into server.cfg in your cfg folder. If you notice on the console when you start up forked servers, it still tries to exec server.cfg and complains if it doesn't exist. This might vary if your startup line specifies -servercfgfile (does that work on L4D?), but we use +exec in our startup line. That at least has resolved it for us, and now I can see the usual 200+ servers of ours in the Steam group servers interface in Left 4 Dead.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left4Dead: Workaround for a few problems after the patch
Command-line console commands are executed fairly early on, it's possible these get reset by something later http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/SRCDS_cfg_startup_order Note it doesn't mention other things that can affect cvars; even if no other script is reverting your commands, something internal to the game might be. It's probably a good idea if you put any values that don't change between server into your server.cfg file. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Ben Sent: 12 March 2009 12:16 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Left4Dead: Workaround for a few problems after the patch Yep, I wasn't getting much luck with forks before either.
