[hlds] Experience about server crashing
share you some experience about server cs 1.3 and hlds 1.0.0.8, I'm running a local lan with at least 20 players connected to it. Server specs was: p3 733/128mb rdram 9.1 scsi hdd, intel pro/100+ nic. i execute hlds.exe with -nomaster and +sv_lan 1 options, hlds is stable, but once the server(running win2k svr) connects to the internet through dial-up connection, hlds would unpredictably crash. Sometimes the players connected to it would simultaneously freeze(at least 3 of them).
RE: [hlds] List Archives
[EMAIL PROTECTED] should just go away now. If you are pointing people to where they can sign for the lists, go to here: www.valvesoftware.com/serveradmin.htm [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias to me, and it's just for handling the older subscription requests (like if someone runs one of the older Win32 installers, or picks up an older readme). After the next full client release [EMAIL PROTECTED] will pretty much go away as a place for people to subscribe. Little confusing right now I know. Only point people to www.valvesoftware.com/serveradmin.htm for subscription information.

RE: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
Wait I reread the problem.. I know how to fix the first person in the server problem... Its actually the first person to spawn with the bomb problem.. On linux servers, they segment fault.. I *THINK* I have tracked this down to TORN ran between the time the server was started and the server haulted. Without torn it doesn't do this... My best fix is to reinstall. I have a second completely unused copy of a "MASTER" setup. All I do is backup the log files, and the 5-6 important files from the mod directory and delete it.. then I copy the "Master" server into the directory, copy over the 6 files and the logs and then rerun the server. It works everytime... Its also a good way if you ever need to quickly build a new server and you can quickly copy the master to a test setup and try an upgrade on it first to work out the bugs on an empty server. Then when its time to upgrade all the servers, you know the steps for that release.

Re: [hlds] adjusting LAN ping...
Damn! I use the same connection for my clan server as I do for my home PC. Enemies aren't going to like me having a 10 ping. We'll just have to play on a neutral server, or theirs. --- Sysop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not really.

RE: [hlds] Multiple Servers & Different Map Cycles on one box?
add "logsdir server2" in server.cfg for second server That will place logs in "c:\hlserver\cstrike\server2\*.log" Can only change subdirectory they are saved in relative to cstrike dir. --- NYC02 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all..i'm thinking of setting up a 2nd game server > on the same box..and > this information is great.

RE: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
Whatever the cause, I certainly hope all these HLDS issues get worked out soon. It would be a shame to see HL lose popularity after going strong for so long. Valve, I hope you guys are close to a fix. - Robert J Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of HoundDawg Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 12:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet? Heh, those chokes may have been while I was working on the server in search of what is wrong. So, it could have been a locked down firewall or I took the DNS or email server temporarily offline. The only thing running on the server with any problems is HLDS. In fact, here's a strange one. Ping the server and get ~50ms. Go into GameSpy and refresh, it pings ~50ms. Go in game and sometimes have a latency of ~2000-3000. But, external pings and such are still at 50ms. Needless to say, I'll probably re-install the entire HLDS (full install again) to see if I still have the same problems. I doubt it will help, but, it's worth a try anyway.
