Re: [hlds_linux] Problems running SRCDS and HLDS at the same server

2007-04-24 Thread Regime
For source, you are still missing some ports. Try the below startup line
format:
./srcds_run -game cstrike +ip 123.123.123.123 -port 27015 \
-clientport 27005 -steamport 27009 -tv_port 27020 +map de_dust2 \
+maxplayers 20 -tickrate 100

Yes it is -steamport for source, not -sport. At least this is how it was
communicated by Valve.

You can verify which ports are in use by which process, by typing:
netstat -nlutp
Or if you like, use the (shameless plug) startup script I created for
this: http://www.livebythegun.com/forum/about541.html
Feed it the argument "ports" and it will return which ports are in use
for that particular script.

As for CS 1.6.. No idea what the command line arguments are.. Sorry,
can't help you there. The netstat -nlutp will at least show you which
ports the process has in use though.

Have fun!

Re: [hlds_linux] Still CSS Problems

2007-04-24 Thread Andres Pozos

Hi:
Try kernel 2.6.21.rc7 and enable dynamic ticks and high timer options.
Now my fps are more stable on 1.6 and source. With kernel 2.6.20 i get
big drops(80).

Specs:
Debian 4.0 etch
kernel: custom 2.6.21.rc7(enabled dynamic ticks and high timers with
1000 hz)
Intel Core 2 Duo 6600
4GB DDR2

It seems to be related with multicore, because same config on p4 work
perfect.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Problems running SRCDS and HLDS at the same server



I've found that the order in which you start up the HL1 and HL2 servers is

extremely important,  depending especially on how you specify ports in the

launch properties.



1.  It's always important to launch servers with the target port in the

launch properties, although on an all SRCDS servers they will auto search

for a free port if one is taken, it's still best to make sure that they all

launch on their intended port (keeps your regulars a lot happier too).



2. Start all servers in incrementing port sequence (this seems to help keep

things clean).



3. Never start all servers at once, always start servers 30 to 60 seconds

apart, at the very minimum wait until they successfully log onto the steam

servers.



4. all servers should have unique -sport specified (VAC port) - you can skip

specifying this you only run HL2 servers but if you mix and match it's very

important to specify them.



5. make sure for SRCDS servers that the port is open for TCP as well as UDP

in the firewall/router if you want RCON to work



6. Ideally, all HLDS services must be restarted at least once before you

start a server on the next port ... don't ask me why but all HLDS servers

that haven't been restarted at least once are sure to act strangely and

starting the next server when the previous one hasn't been restarted may

well also start acting weird.



This is one setup I find work the best for me:

a. SRCDS on port 27015 should be started first with -port 27015 -sport 26902

in the launch properties

b. HLDS on port 27016 should be started second with -port 27016  -sport

26904 in the launch properties



On my linux server,  If I start HLDS first, then one or more SRCDS processes

this seems to work ok without specifying the -sport, but if I start an SRCDS

and then an HLDS server, HLDS gets very confused and will act weird.



I mostly believe that the problem here is SRCDS will look for ports it needs

and if they are not available it will automatically try the next in

sequence, but HLDS is not able to search at all and instead of complaining

that it's unable to acquire a needed port it just stalls there.



Just a last gotcha note, if you have to shut down the HLDS server and

restart it (or it crashes, etc) you may find that weirdness will return when

it restarts again in a system with SRCDS servers already running.

Specifying both ports appears to help this, but the HLDS server must be

restarted at least once to get it clean.



(By restart I mean in HLDS issuing the "restart" command or any changelevel

)

Are there any known issues to run HLDS and SRCDS at the same server? I have
bought a "super server" capable of running many servers, but I have met some
errors along the way. It seems that the SRCDS interfere with the Steam
Validation for hlds? Sometimes the hlds servers can't validate steamids and
all the new players get steamid pending.

And for the source servers.. they just get offline and no error message is
printed to the console for the server.

I have learned that SRCDS uses port 27020 -> for source TV and that's why I
run hlds on port 27015-27019 and SRCDS on ports 27035->

The server has extern IP and all ports that HLDS and VAC need are opened up.
Maybe get another IP to the server and run hlds on eth0 and srcds on eth0:1
?

Anyone?

As it became quiet around this problem, i would also like to point out
that this issue is far from beeing resolved.

I state again:
We run all-Intel-CPUs from P4s over dual / quad xeons to core 2 duos,
all with nearly the exact lag issues.
All running Debian almost the same problems on Sarge and Etch (now
running Etch since its stable)
All running cut down Preemt Kernels with 1000Hz (2.6.16.40+), also tried
countless other Versions including 2.6.20 and 2.6.21-rc7 with / without
dyntick, different IO Schedulers ... so everything that could cause
problems is sorted out from our side.
Since these boxes are dedicated for gameservers only there is not much
else on them besides proftpd-mysql, snmpd and our webinterface-backend
(really just some perl scripts croned) that could cause any trouble.

Problems are almost identical with the current "public" version and the
beta, therefore our customer servers are still running on build 2949, as
everything else is performing far from what our customers expect.

I agree with TC from UKCS, that valve should put some focus on
optimizing performance, but then ... they have not thought about that a
single second in the last 2 year .. so basically i have given up hope on
that one ...

I do hope this issue will get resolved soon ... as there might be a
point where we will be unable to use the "working" build (caused by some
client update or whatnot) and therefore beeing unable to offer source
servers to our customers.

3. Never start all servers at once, always start servers 30 to 60 seconds
apart, at the very minimum wait until they successfully log onto the steam
servers.

4. all servers should have unique -sport specified (VAC port) - you can skip
specifying this you only run HL2 servers but if you mix and match it's very
important to specify them.

5. make sure for SRCDS servers that the port is open for TCP as well as UDP
in the firewall/router if you want RCON to work

6. Ideally, all HLDS services must be restarted at least once before you
start a server on the next port ... don't ask me why but all HLDS servers
that haven't been restarted at least once are sure to act strangely and
starting the next server when the previous one hasn't been restarted may
well also start acting weird.

This is one setup I find work the best for me:
a. SRCDS on port 27015 should be started first with -port 27015 -sport 26902
in the launch properties
b. HLDS on port 27016 should be started second with -port 27016  -sport
26904 in the launch properties

On my linux server,  If I start HLDS first, then one or more SRCDS processes
this seems to work ok without specifying the -sport, but if I start an SRCDS
and then an HLDS server, HLDS gets very confused and will act weird.

I mostly believe that the problem here is SRCDS will look for ports it needs
and if they are not available it will automatically try the next in
sequence, but HLDS is not able to search at all and instead of complaining
that it's unable to acquire a needed port it just stalls there.

Just a last gotcha note, if you have to shut down the HLDS server and
restart it (or it crashes, etc) you may find that weirdness will return when
it restarts again in a system with SRCDS servers already running.
Specifying both ports appears to help this, but the HLDS server must be
restarted at least once to get it clean.

(By restart I mean in HLDS issuing the "restart" command or any changelevel
)

Subject: [hlds_linux] Problems running SRCDS and HLDS at the same server


Are there any known issues to run HLDS and SRCDS at the same server? I have
bought a "super server" capable of running many servers, but I have met some
errors along the way. It seems that the SRCDS interfere with the Steam
Validation for hlds? Sometimes the hlds servers can't validate steamids and
all the new players get steamid pending.

And for the source servers.. they just get offline and no error message is
printed to the console for the server.

I have learned that SRCDS uses port 27020 -> for source TV and that's why I
run hlds on port 27015-27019 and SRCDS on ports 27035->

The server has extern IP and all ports that HLDS and VAC need are opened up.
Maybe get another IP to the server and run hlds on eth0 and srcds on eth0:1
?

Anyone?

You may want to force the ports
+port 
-sport 
+tv_port 

Eg +port 27015 -sport 27016

For source add something like +tv_port 27017

So for a second server you may do
+port 27020 -sport 27021 and if its source +tv_port 27022

See if that helps.

Re: [hlds_linux] 1.6 FPS drops

2007-04-24 Thread Jonathan

I removed the SMT and multi core scheduler support from the kernel
and the FPS seems to be more stable now. Another thing i noticed is
that disabling ACPI seems to limit performance.

23 apr 2007 kl. 22.27 skrev Jonathan Selander:


Doesn't that just taskset the shell which executes the script? Or does
it apply to other processes executed from the script as well?

I tried it a couple of hours ago but didn't notice any difference in
performance.

Was that using tasket? Did you modify hlds_run to launch it using
taskset
or how did you do?


have you tried to bind the running server to only one core ?
I did that yesterday, and it works better..

Subject: [hlds_linux] 1.6 FPS drops



Hi, I've created a new kernel with the 2.6.21-rc6 using the
dynamic
ticks and high timer options, which really improved the
performance
of my server. I need to run the servers at 1000 FPS because it
appeals to customers. The hardware is dual quad-core xeon 2.66ghz
with 8gb fully-buffered memory. The FPS is generally at
980-1000, but
sometimes it drops to around 500.

This happens with only one, completely idle server running on the
machine. Perhaps i don't need to care about this, but i'd
really like
to know what can cause these drops to happen? Apparently the
CPU is
able to keep it at a steady 1000 FPS, and since there's nothing
else
running i don't see why it should drop to ~500.
