Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead Demo Update Available
The entire time I've had the servers through all the updates, the ping in-game was never high when it was empty. I have a private server that is empty quite a bit more than the public, and it has always had consistent pings. If it didn't they I'd be concerned and would notice it, so would the regular players that I communicate with.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead Demo Update Available
Since latest update, they dont do that. Infact, my linux servers dont even show fps 10 anymore when they are hibernating. Its same as if there would be players and its just the way i would like it to be. The "fps 10" showed up much higher pings before like i said on the list and this guy here said too. -ics J T kirjoitti: > Uhm.

[hlds_linux] HLDS server freezes when running -game valve
Hi, i have rented a few weeks ago a virtual server. I am running some HLDS servers. 2 Counter-Strike 1.6 servers 1 Earth Special forces Server 1 The Specialists server and the problematic server: 1 Half-Life 1 Team Deathmatch server The server starts ok, but it runs just a for a few minutes, in best cases hours and then stop responding. hlds process is still running... but it doesnt respond at all. Console doesn't recieve any input, and doesn't give any output. Players get disconnected and server doesnt respond at all. Looking at an strace log, looks like process is still running and making calls while server is freezed. Other hlds servers running other mods works well... ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Yes it's looking for a file with ## in it, changing the map outputs an error to that effect (and if you name a file ##.cfg then it executes the contents of that file) I'd prefer to use servercfgfile as it's executed every mapchange as opposed to just on server startup, but I'll look into using +exec (just have to wait a few hours for my servers to shutdown again) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Green > Sent: 16 November 2008 21:41 > To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] I fail at separate configs > > Yeah - we are using +exec on our servers. > It's possible that +servercfgfile is executing before the command line > substitution happens - does it appear to be looking for a file with a > "##" in it (strace will tell you if nothing else does)? > > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of x3sphere > Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 1:33 PM > To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: [hlds_linux] I fail at separate configs > > Unless I'm missing something, why not use +exec instead?

Yeah - we are using +exec on our servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] Latest L4D Updates and Issues
By the way, this is the line in the console output that brought the problem to my attention: [L4DMM] CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(127.0.0.1:27015) The IP it gets is whatever the server is running on, not the actual external IP it should be getting. I've tried using the ip setting after the server starts too, but that didn't help. If I were to tell the server to run on 192.168.1.100 however, it would produce, [L4DMM] CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(192.168.1.100:27015) On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 2:51 PM, Patrick Shelley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I get all of that, plus my lappy crashes to desk and freezes when i try to > connect to my server :( > > On 11/16/08, Daniel Worley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > My L4D dedicated was working fine until the recent updates.

Re: [hlds_linux] Broadcast messages
Huh, on mine it works as follows: root:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/games/steam1/l4d_demo# nc localhost 9000 find status: List the status of all subprocesses. broadcast: Send a command to all subprocesses. find: find commands containing a string. shutdown: Tell the server shutdown once all players have left. This is a toggle. quit: immediately shut down the server and all its child processes. Edit: Just noticed Chris Green's reply...

Did you try typing "find" into port 9000? Also, if you have a netconpassword set, your have to type "PASS pswd" first.

[hlds_linux] I fail at separate configs
I'm trying to use separate config files when forking for the first time (Someone's decided it would be better if each individual hostname was numbered) and I'm starting up the servers like so: ./srcds_run -norestart -ip 84.244.189.89 -nomaster -nohltv -steamport 281## -port 27035+## -netconport 90## +clientport 282## +matchmakingport 283## +systemlinkport 284## +servercfgfile config##.cfg -fork 12 If I telnet into one of the servers and change map, I'll see the following: exec: couldn't exec config##.cfg All the other uses of ## are working as expected. can someone who's used servercfgfile and forking show me my fail?

[hlds_linux] Latest L4D Updates and Issues
My L4D dedicated was working fine until the recent updates. If I run my server open to the public, people are able to join through matchmaking, but if I try to use the new sv_steamgroup option, the server is presented to me, I'm given the option to join, but doing so always fails. What happens is that a lobby is created, then it tries to connect to the dedicated server, what's going wrong is that for some reason, it's resolving the dedicated server's address to it's internal rather than the external, so of course it doesn't work. I've verified this by running the server with the IP option and setting the IP to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.120, in both instances, the console produced output saying it resolved the IP of the dedicated to those two IP's accordingly. I of course can't tell the server to bind to the external because it can't, and I'm not about to put the entire server up as DMZ, is there any other option, are you guys working on this? I'd think it was my configuration, but I was hosting and playing fine before these new updates were released, also if I run without the steamgroup option, people can somehow start games fine, imagine that.
