Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Bruno Garcia]

Hey guys,

I haven't managed a srcds server for a while, and I'm not quite updated on
the situation, but why is HLSW dead?
has the protocol been updated?

I remember building a webapp a while ago to handler SRCDS authentication,
although I could build a client version, if that's something server owners
need...

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Bruno Garcia]

You should fix the taunting bugs, it's annoying to see players doing taunts
while moving and killing players.
If a player spy does the taunting bug and disguises, the enemy disguise
will appear as tauting and can fool other players.

It's not a minor bug.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Steam auth ticket has been canceled

[Bruno Garcia]

Perhaps it's not the CPU that's having the issue, rather a thread that's
taking too long to finish a task and "do" something related to
authentication, while other thread is trying to re-authenticate the user.
Sort of a race condition... It is also very, very hard to predict what's
happening without having access to code, and other tools.

I don't want to seem like a know-it-all without actually having the facts
straight from what's happening, I'm just saying my experience was that one,
and It was explained to me by a valve employee at the time.
I also know that a large amount of players at the time in Counter-Strike:
Source had this issue, and when the employee and I started to debug this
issue, and it was fixed for me, it was also fixed for lots of users.

Hope some dev understands.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Steam auth ticket has been canceled

[Bruno Garcia]

I will paste the reply I made in a csgo thread about this subject.

"There used to be a situation where clients would get disconnected because
they took too long to re-authenticate while connected in the server.
This was not a server issue, *it was a client issue taking up too much cpu
and not being able to respond in time to the auth ticket request.*
It is known for bugs to be recurrent.

Just so you know, *probably* not a server issue"

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Bruno Garcia]

The only thing that needs nerfing is the Phlogistinator.
It is extremely stupid that you *can't* kill a pyro that's taunting with
four rockets at a really really close distance...
Then the pyro after finishing the taunt turns around and kills you with
crits.
It's stupid how they gave uber charge and critical hits to a pyro weapon.

Now you just have to revert the mini-crit/critical damage from the

Re: [hlds] DDOS Prevention with IPV6

[Bruno Garcia]

Windows Firewall is only good enough to peal a potato.
Iptables is the way to go.

Although, DDoS attacks can't be prevented, you can null-route all the
packets from the attack, but (if the attack is big enough) it uses up all
your resources to do so, thus causing your servers to malfunction.

Furthermore, do you know if this is a DDoS attack, or is this some srcds
protocol hack? You need to patch those too with plugins.

Re: [hlds] /me option in chat

It was used for scamming, and phishing.
People used it to personate "Steam admins" by changing the color of their

I'm glad it was taken down.

Re: [hlds] Server 'jitter' / studder

[Bruno Garcia]

I do not recommend ping/tickrate boosting.
It's third party software and... the source dedicated server is meant to
work at 66 FPS.
I wouldn't count on modifying the tickrate being any reliable on the
server. Like I said, it's not meant to be!

Is this due to the large amount of servers updating?

Re: [hlds] Fresh install not starting

[Bruno Garcia]

So, I removed my installation folder and I re-downloaded everything (Again)
It seems that now it is downloading everything to an orangebox folder.

Thanks for your help!

Re: [hlds] Fresh install not starting

[Bruno Garcia]

This is my command line:

Hldsupdatetool.exe -game tf -command update -dir "C:\srcdsServers\Tf2\"

Now, when I first download the server it does *not* contain an orangebox
folder.
When I throw a -verify_all update it downloads more content that there was.
Perhaps some of it it's duplicated.

Could this be a bug in the delivery system of HldsUpdateTool?

Re: [hlds] Fresh install not starting

[Bruno Garcia]

This is really weird.
The installation that I downloaded the first time (without -verify_all)
didn't contain an orangebox folder.
After a -verify_all update it downloaded an orangebox folder with "another"
TF server in it.

Pretty weird.

I'll re-download from scratch with -verify_all ... I guess.

Re: [hlds] Fresh install not starting

[Bruno Garcia]

When I had the error the first time I deleted the whole directory, then
re-installed.
Then deleted steam_api.dll and threw a -verify_all update in case it was
corrupted...

Also, I'm not sharing the install directory with other games, the folder
has only my tf2 server installation.

[hlds] Fresh install not starting

[Bruno Garcia]

Hello.

I have a fresh install of Team Fortress 2 and I can't seem to get srcds to
run.
I'm on a Windows 2003 x86 bit installation. with enough space, cpu and ram.

When running it I get this:

---
srcds.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---
The procedure entry point SteamAPI_GetHSteamUser could not be located in
the dynamic link library steam_api.dll.
---
OK
---

And I get a minidump generated. I have debugged the minidump and I see this:

Re: [hlds] Windows vs Linux

[Bruno Garcia]

The server binaries are compiled on linux, said on the mailing list a while
ago.
I remember because some updates changed their gcc version and fucked things
up.
gcc is a C linux compiler therefore they are compiled on linux

Re: [hlds] Windows vs Linux

[Bruno Garcia]

The server linux binaries are more stable due to the fact that they are
compiled in linux and then ported over to Windows.

Compability won't be a problem on Linux and I strongly advice you to choose
Linux over Windows for gameservers.

Cheers mate.

Re: [hlds] Premium only servers

[Bruno Garcia]

Premium only servers are not an addition of VALVe.
It's a thirdparty mod checking if they bought the game, or not.

Meaning, you'll never get an answer here.
Have fun bitching about F2P.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Day of Defeat:Source SteamPipe dedicated server and client beta released

[Bruno Garcia]

Is Counter-Strike: Source being handled by a third party company from valve?
Because I think that mod developers can't compile their mods to the engine
version that they are using, making, for example, mani admin impossible to
update to vpks and new updates.

(Yes, I know Mani closed down, but there's still people supporting it)

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] .vpk on css

[Bruno Garcia]

Thanks a lot for the reply Fletcher.
When the update ships, will the old files be removed and everything will be
re-downloaded on both clients and servers?
I'm curious on how it will shift between gcf and vpk.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

Actually, kickall would be a command that can only run by the server, and
if anything, there's always FCVAR Protect thing that can't be bypassed.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory CS:S update released

[Bruno Garcia]

Thank you Eric.

I believe there's a problem with the sound system that didn't allow mods to
play sounds.
Perhaps this is because mods are obligated to use outdated SDKs.

Will there be a fix for this?

Thank you.

FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE shouldn't be bypassed.
It's for the security of every client!

It doesn't do much damage, but, hell, I don't want servers making my client
do things like "disconnect" or "quit prompt" :P

[hlds] Handling server crashes the smart way

[Bruno Garcia]

Hello,

I'm running a CS: S server on a windows 2003 server computer. I know that
it's outdated, and windows is highly unstable at times, but I've been
getting a lot of server crashes for the last two weeks and with each crash
comes a dump file. These dump files don't appear to hold many information
about the crash, pretty useless to me.
But they must be there for a reason. So I was wondering if there's a
'smart' way to "pin-point" at what instance the srcds crashed.

I'll leave some dox about the server that I'm running, maybe you'll find
something 'un-usual'


Windows 2003 Server
Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server
Running process with all cpus (process affinity)
Running on RealTime priority (might change it to High)

Addons:
Mani Admin System
Mattie's Eventscripts
DAF DoS Fix (Blocks flood of server queries to the server)

Any help is appreciated

Try unloading all addons Mani Admin, Source Mod, Eventscripts, Third party
anticheat (etc) (I don't know which of these are avaliable for L4D) and
test again.

To unload an addon replace the loader file or just do plugin_unload
"addons/"

Try sending \\ with the directory.

Eg.

C:\\L4D2

Sometimes that's the problem, especially using the windows (ugly) console

[hlds] Hide the srcds console

[Bruno Garcia]

Hello,

I'm using a tool on Windows 2003 Server called "ServerChecker" to leave
auto-restart my servers, add easy command line parameters, etc...
The only problem is , that, for each srcds server has a console of it's
own. And it's quite annoying to have 5 or 6 srcds console on your desktop.

Is there any way to run a server *without *a console (So only the process
is running)

Thanks

Re: [hlds] Game hosting

[Bruno Garcia]

The guys is asking if he can incorporate a 'plugin' to the source dedicated
server to reject steam tickets upon a connection of a client that does not
own the game.

This is not detected by VALVe as far as I know, however, I advice you to
stick to the original server mate.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[Bruno Garcia]

Even being a glitch, it's stupid and non-important. Consider that Valve has
to code a hole system to check if a *sprite* is being rendered through a
wall. It's stupid a waste of resources.

I have this glitch using Hammer Editor ALL the time. A 3D model rendered
through a sprite gets it glitched, and you don't hear me complaining.
Deal with it.

Re: [hlds] Source Engine remote slowhacking exploit - how can I dump a .dem file?

[Bruno Garcia]

First, the demo file won't record any crucial information... plus, these
exploits aren't valve commands being messed up, it could be protocols being
buggy; for example sending the connection packet of 300 different clients...

And secondly, this reminds me of the disconnect message exploit, that would
*also block FVAR*, but I wouldn't worry about that exploit, it's already
fixed!

Re: [hlds] Question on Dedicated Server

[Bruno Garcia]

3-4 servers? I wouldn't say so.
1 server, 2 top... **Maybe*.

* It all depends on your Bandwidth, and if you're going to be playing the
game in the same PC where you host the server.
I'm not too keen on house servers...

Re: [hlds] Dealing with persistent cheaters

[Bruno Garcia]

I love how cheat programmers keep using the the 'debug' Draw box for
wallhacks.

Places where I've seen the debug drawbox:
* used for rendering area portals in-game with sv_cheats 1
Places where I've seen using the debug drawbox as cheats:
* too many to count

Perhaps it would helpful to check on the vac module if a player's is using
a render function...

Re: [hlds] Losing connection to load-outs increasing

This issue will be fixed briefly. Check Fletcher's post.
However, a couple of days ago some Steam servers went on maintenance
causing the loose of your steam network connectivity, as well as your
loadout in-game.
