 Our 3.0GHz Xeon (Cranford) based box (HT enabled) peaked at about 65%
 with 3 SCRDS instances (DoD:S, TF2, InsMod) at various stages of load.
 We also use scrcdsfpsboost and yielded 256 fps max and 140fps min. at
 the server with a full 24 player TF2. We've never experienced any lag or
 performance anomalies.

 Due to a colo relocation, we're temporarily hosting with a GSP that's
 strictly Linux and we've seen some sporadic performance issues. After a
 bunch of tweaking everything has since stabilized, but not nearly as
 robust as our Win2k3 box above. The map load bug seems to transgress
 platforms.

 One note, regardless of fps_max setting on TF2 (regardless of platform)
 we cannot exceed 300fps.

[hlds] rcon disconnect because of long banlist?

2007-07-26 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Hi,

We recently increased the number of bans on our CSS-servers from around
3 000 to around 14 000. We use a script that via rcon-listid fetches
all bans from all servers, synchronizes with a master database, and
distributes new bans to all servers. However after increasing the number
of bans, listid doesn't work anymore when issued via rcon. I ran listid
in HLSW and simply got the following (other commands verified to work):

22:31:54 listid
22:31:54 HLSW NOTE: Disconnected

The server console verifies that it has received the command with 'rcon
from 80.202.19.13:63412: command listid'.

When running listid from the server console, all 14 000 bans are listed
correctly.

Is this expected behaviour of rcon when transferring huge amounts of
data? If so, can rcon be instructed to allow larger amounts of data?

Cheers,
Einar

 I'd be careful issuing that server when players are there :)

 In our experience running servers with large ban lists is that the operation
 to 'listid'(or even lots of 'addid' commands, eg from doing: exex bans.cfg)
 will block the server for several seconds as the command is processed.

 Users will see this as lag.

Attached is a quick and dirty implementation for Python. It's hideously
slow since it makes a select-query for each IP. It uses the GeoLite csv
file imported into a MySQL database:

Be sure to change the logDir path to suit your installation.

Quick tip to Ooks: If the database you used was MySQL, you can use the
built-in sql functions inet_aton() and inet_ntoa() to convert between
the two IP representations. See my script for details.

Re: [hlds] [Fwd: [Fwd: NO GAS ON 15TH]]

2007-05-09 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Hahaha! Sorry Ed, I though you were one of the older members of this
list? Were you just trying to pull my leg, or am I confusing you with
someone else? I Really didn't want to add any more crap to this thread,
but such ignorance, being for real of for fun, can't go unanswered.

I'd hereby like to inform all Americans that they do NOT live in the
richest nation in the world. The US is NOT the best country to live in.
The rest of the world does NOT look to America as the land of milk and
honey (and cheap gas). I do NOT envy you, your country or your
lifestyle. Ok, got it?

To continue: I live in a country where we have MORE than the average
American, so don't think for a second I am looking to you, envying your
riches and hating you for your wealth being handed to you, as you say.
As a matter of fact, my country was rated by the UN as the best country
to live in for the 7th time in a row last year. I'm not complaining.

What I _am_ complaining about is people complaining about things that
really aren't worth complaining about. Such as gas prices that are still
so low that they have just recently broken half the price of most
European countries. Including oil-producing and -exporting nations such
as my own.

If you want to complain, I am sure there's a bunch of worthy campaigns
you may sign up for. But complaining about gas-prices? And at the same
time flaunting your Pontiac and gas-guzzling habits? Please, give me a
break!

Oh, and I've spent a full year in your country. To be more specific, I
stayed in one of the richest areas: Right north of Palm Beach. And I was
not impressed. Especially by the kid that felt sorry for me when I had
to go home to my country where we evidently didn't have color TVs or
microwaves - riches that only Americans know what are. Guess that
illusion is still true in some Americans even today ;)

So get yourself a passport and do some travelling!

Cheers,
Einar

P.S. This is my last post in this thread. Please send any response to me
in private, or at the very least formulate it so that a private response

[hlds] Mega-servers

2007-04-17 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Hi,

Even though we all now that Valve's optimisations over the last year
have led to massive increases in CPU usage, there are some servers out
there that have a capacity of up to 64 players. Although most of these
servers run at a tickrate of 66, I have seen at least one 60-player 100
tick server.

Is anyone on this list running such servers? What kind of hardware is
required for mega-servers? I have a problem believing that even a Xeon
5160 at 3.0GHz is capable of running 64 players smoothly, even at 66 ticks.

Sure, but as I mentioned: I have a problem believing that even the most
potent model, the 5160 at 3.0GHz, will be able to run 64 players
smoothly. Can you or anyone else confirm that such a CPU is capable of
doing that at 66 ticks?

The way I see it: A 3.0 GHz Woodcrest is up to ~1.5 times faster than
the previous generation. So comparable to a 4.5 GHz previous-generation
Xeon. A 2.8GHz old Xeon can run about 20 players at 100 ticks one one
CPU, so the 3.0GHz Woodcrest should do 4.5/2.8 * 20 = 32 players at 100
ticks. This is of course just a ballpark-estimate (and at 100ticks, not
66) but since 32 is so far from 64, it is also the reason why I am
having problems imagining a non-overclocked Woodcrest performing at such
levels.

Having rocks in your head would help. Knowing a bit or two about
computers would also help, but in a different and hopefully more
satisfying manner.

For instance: If RAM were the bottleneck for a given app, then running
it in an emulated environment where the environment itself doesn't
expend all resources may be a good idea. Windows typically uses more RAM
than Linux, and so it is quite possible that a Windows-app which meets
memory constraints in Windows may perform better in Linux on the same
machine. An emulation layer has to be a real piece of crap to be worse
than using swap.

Oh, and by the way: WINE, Wine Is Not an Emulator. So there ;)

 Agreed, and as Nick pointed out, the ad is a marketing pitch by the company

 To try put it in perspective - take the new SNES emulator developed for Xbox

 original OS and hardware is doing. In any type of hosted OS/Application model 
 (MS VS and VMWare are hosted models) where the emulation layer sits on top of 
 the OS, you would have to have rocks in your head to think an OS running 
 within another OS yields better performance. Even with Hypervisor technology, 
 you still incur a performance hit.

 Maybe its the secret though... maybe if I install linux, then Emulate an XP 
 install, all my games will run better than a straight XP install. Maybe if I 
 create a virtual linux machine under XP an then put a further emulated XP 
 install under that, I will get even more super performance :-|

Re: [hlds] Tell srcds which server.cfg to load?

Hi again,

I am currently upgrading from Mani 1.2BetaN RC2-11 to 1.2BetaR.
Something that has changed is that *at least* clients.txt now needs to
be inside cfg/mani_admin_plugin. It seems as if the other files inside
mani_path are picked up, however.

But basically this means that mani needs mani_admin_plugin to be there,

a copy. Place clients.txt in mani_admin_plugin, then make all other
configuration changes inside the mani_path. Hopefully that should do it.

Please disregard what I said about clients.txt below as that information

read sometimes from mani_path and sometimes from mani_admin_plugin, but

cfg/mani_admin_plugin needs to exist, like I stated below. At least some

 Each server can have its own mani directory. Simply add the following to
 your startup-line: +mani_path pathtoserversmanidir

 I have a question regarding this and hope someone know the answer. If you
 setup seperate servers on one install, how do get the different setting for

 Thanx for any responses!

Re: [hlds] Tell srcds which server.cfg to load?

2007-02-16 Thread Einar S. Idsø
I can't find anything else that's being done to use a specific mani
path. Please make sure you don't assign mani_path in any of the server
config files. If that doesn't solve it, please post your command-line here.

Regarding documentation:
http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/mani_admin_plugin/documentation/mani_install_config_maniservercfg.htm
For multiple installations where you require a different plugin
configuration to be used add ‘+mani_path mani_admin_plugin’ in your
startup script that runs the server. Replace mani_admin_plugin with the
path you need to use for your instance.

Cheers,
Einar

 I tried to rename mani_admin_plugin to mani_admin_plugin1

 then tried to start two servers with different +mani_path

 Then I copy mani_admin_plugin1 to mani_admin_plugin, servers start ok,
 but it seems, that both servers are still using default folder 
 mani_admin_plugin.

Re: [hlds] server monitoring software

If HLSW is your cup of tea, then you will be happy to know it works fine
with Wine.

Cheers,
Einar

 anybody know of or use a monitoring software with Linux?

Make sure you cd to the HLSW directory. I start HLSW with a script
containing the following:

cd /path/to/.wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/HLSW/
wine hlsw.exe

Never had your problem before, but was able to reproduce it by cd'ing to
Program Files and starting 'wine HLSW/hlsw.exe'.

 Whenever I use HLSW in wine it installs fine and runs the first time.
 Afterwards if I try to run it it gives me:
 Could not load config files in cfg:
 cfg\Games.cfg: Cannot open file


 Anyone know how to fix that by chance?

Re: [hlds] Converting demo to movie

2006-11-16 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Okay, thanks for the input guys. Since the plan really was to
automatically convert demos as they are uploaded to an FTP, this is not
going to be a feasible solution. But at least now I know.

Cheers!

 I think a couple commands in the console and a few mouse-clicks in
 VirtualDub is about as simple as you're going to find. It's really not that
 much more work than one command. You're example would be nice if you were
 converting a list of demos to avi, but I'm nor aware of anything like that.

[hlds] Converting demo to movie

2006-11-15 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Does there exist an automated/semiautomated way to convert a CS/CSS demo
to an avi, mpeg or similar video file? the perfect solution would be a
simple tool which takes a demo files as argument and spits out a movie.

Re: [hlds] Converting demo to movie

2006-11-15 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Thank you, but that method is way too manual. I am looking for something
which will just convert demos without any human interaction like
clicking with a mouse at specific places on a screen. Like typing
dem2avi mydemo.dem and receiving mydemo.avi.

Cheers,
Einar

 Using AVI will bring up a dialog for choosing the codec, which may not show
 if you are running the engine in fullscreen mode.

 Once you have your AVI you should run some sort of compression on it,
 VirtualDub (www.virtualdub.org) should be useful for this.
