RE: FW: [hlds_linux] P3 550 performing as a 10-user server
FF monitoring and having to redo all of my admins levels would be too hard :-) as well as the admins having to learn how to use amx. I still love AMX for it's low CPU usage.

On linux Debian (I suppose it's the same for an other distrib), it increase the CPU usage. But it increase the hl server performances too.

RE: [hlds_linux] [BETA] HLDS 3111c1
I should be more specific :-) I'm running 2x CS and 1x FLF on one box and 1x DoD and 1x CS on the other box. Both boxes are P4 1.5, 512 DDR, 40 and 80GB ATA 133's. Kernel 2.4.2 with everything stripped out that isn't needed. Plugins on each server: Adminmod 2.50.52 Metamod 1.16 And one of the CS servers runs the WC3 plugin for AMX so that runs Adminmod, AMX and Metamod. VAC runs on all I got these values from top after watching it for 5 minutes. On 3110c I used to get around 20-30% CPU usage with a full server (16 players) but the RAM usage was more intensive. I have tweaked my boxes a lot more and removed unneeded services and so on since then however so that could be a contributor. With 3111c1 I would say that the game feels much smoother and I was constantly pinging 30-35 from home (Under 3111c I was getting 60). I could also attribute my lower CPU usage to the fact I don't run pingboost on any of the servers but with this update it feels great without. sys_ticrate is 100 sv_maxupdaterate is 30 sv_minupdaterate is 0 sv_maxrate is sv_minrate is 0 And the servers feed off 100Mbit fibre for each.

Is this a normal behavior? just becuase you exec another file in your cmd line, does not negate that autoexec will execute. It will _always_ execute (hence the name :) ) after the cfg indicated in your cmd line.

Keep in mind I built it over 2 years ago, and it has only had minor changes since then. It's fairly simple really, and while I have ideas for all sorts of improvements to it, I have never had the time (or motivation) to implement them. I'm basically releasing this as public domain, you can do whatever you want with it. If somebody wants to turn it into a project and improve it, that'd be cool. What It Does - Stores bans in a MySQL database, with a web front end for maintaining the list - Allows a group of game server providers to collaborate, sharing bans between each other - Makes it easy to keep bans sync'd across multiple servers - Requires no special software on the game server, other than ncftpget and a crontab (no adminmod or mysql etc) As Drew said, you can take a look at it in action at http://guest:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - this instance covers almost all of the major HL game server operators in New Zealand, containing some 6000+ bans, and has been operating since Feb 2001. What You Need - Web server with PHP4 - FTP server on the same machine - MySQL database - wget and ncftpget tools - access to a crontab It's intended for Linux. Some modification may be needed under Windows. The game servers can run on Windows if you find a third-party FTP/scheduling tool, such as www.ftpvoyager.com Where To Get It Download from ftp://ftp.cstrike.co.nz/pub/sbs/sbs1.0.tar.gz (14KB) How To Use It Read the README file for installation instructions: ftp://ftp.cstrike.co.nz/pub/sbs/README When planning how you will deploy it among multiple admins, keep in mind that any admin can edit or remove any other admin's bans, and any bans they add will affect all participating servers. So you need to trust everybody who will be a member not to screw up or abuse the system; use some discretion in choosing who you include. Wishlist Here's some of the things I wish it did, but haven't had time to implement ;) - Better user management - Better tracking of changes to bans (ban history) - Better interface - Better way of applying bans; large banfiles slow down map changes on the servers Enjoy. -Simon ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

I launch it in a screen yes. Does this change so much the cpu usage ? DjoDjo >sorry, I wanted to know the exact command line you use to run hlds.

OK, I just tested this new patch, here is the test: The computer: DUAL AMD 1900 MP, 512 ram, on linux debian. Two CS servers (30 ppl on each servers, full) on this box. Same map on both servers: de_dust2 Same addons/plugins on both servers: AMX v0.9.3 , wwcl 2.51 Same server.cfg config No pingbooster options. Server 1: on hlds 3.1.1.0 Server 2: on hlds 3.1.1.1c1 with the hlds_amd binary The CPU usage depend of the number of "alive" players. That's why I'll give the cs CPU usage when exactly 30, 20 and 10 players are alive. CPU usage is checked with the "top" utility. Usual average ping of the 30 players: 60-70ms (with hlds 3.1.1.0) The results (cpu usage in of ONE cpu): Server 1 (hlds 3.1.1.0): 30 players alive: 70 20 players alive: 60 10 players alive: 50 Server 2 (hlds 3.1.1.1c1): 30 players alive: 98 (average pings: 200-250ms) 20 players alive: 90 (average pings: 100-150ms) 10 players alive: 80 /me downgrade the server 2 to 3.1.1.0 :( DjoDjo > The server we have been profiling has provided some useful data and > we have performed some optimisations.
