[hlds_linux] Half-Life 2 Master Area
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well, I got tired of wondering how our new Counter-Strike Source servers were doing compared to the rest of the servers out there. I took some time today to see if I could do something about it. I ended up getting what I wanted, though I'm sure there is still some tweaking that can be done. I formatted the data and pushed it into our GameStats area in a new section called HL2 Master. Since the only HL2 mod being played right now is cstrike you will see that it has 100% of the pie. The only map that is suppose to be played at this time is de_dust, but you will see that it only has 95% of the pie. I also list information on all the servers that I can find and all the players on those servers. I even decided to graph total player and server trends which you can get to by going to the main GameStats area and scrolling down to the HL2 section. In this section you will also see the current number of players, the number of server spots available to players, the number of full servers, the number of empty server, as well as some summary information on the most popular map and mod. There is still some work to be done on the individual server query, but that shouldn't take me too long. Take a look and as always your input is welcome. http://gaming.broadbandreports.com/hl2master/ http://gaming.broadbandreports.com/gamestats/ --- Game Server Admin http://www.broadbandgaming.net Moderator http://www.broadbandreports.com -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] Memory Leak - Part III - *No Metamod*
Both CS 1.6 and CZ exhibit this behavior. I've seen a CZ server, completely stock, use over 300megs in under 24 hours. It doesn't always happen so quickly, but the more active a server is, the quicker it occurs. It has nothing to do with how many maps in the cycle or even which maps, it always occurs overtime. I would suspect that the server is either, A, not deallocating player slots correctly when players disconnect, or B, not deallocating maps correctly when mapchange occurs. Since it seems to occur more often when a server is active, I'd suspect A. > richy wrote: > >> Cron restart your server every morning. >> Doesn't fix it but it is a fix for it.

Re: [hlds_linux] Memory Leak - Part III - *No Metamod*
I have the same problems with my 1.6 servers. However, I have not ran the server without metamod. Are we sure it is a memory leak? Is it possible that hlds does allocate memory and uses it as some sort of cache? I would suggest, running hlds without metamod until you run out of main memory and see what happens. IF the case is that the allocated memory is being used for caching purposes (like map information), it shouldn't be a problem IF the coders of hlds ensure that the game engine code stays in main memory. A way to confirm this would be to allow hlds to use up all your memory and let it start hitting swap. Once you know it is hitting swap, check to see what the latency becomes for all players in the server, if the server keeps the same latency, then it isn't a problem (until you run out of swap) for game play. But, if everyone's ping skyrockets once your hitting the swap partition, then that means the the net code/engine code and/or the engine/net code data is being swapped, which is definitely a memory leak and should be fixed. Currently the machine running my servers have: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 514784 51164031440 8256 95732 -/+ buffers/cache: 407652107132 Swap: 987988 170836817152 with an uptime of...
