Re: [hlds_linux] MOTD Questions
Thanks, that is clearly what is going on, now that I look at it closely. The problem is I am using fixed positioning for the graphics and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to shift them. Changing the position doesn't seem to make a difference, and neither does adding padding. Drek Guy Watkins wrote: > I found this.

Re: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process
Forking will share data with the parent. It typically uses a copy on write mechanism. So unless you modify the data, it will be shared between the parent and all the children. It isn't shared like threads where there is a single copy of the data.

Re: [hlds_linux] MOTD Questions
Yeah, that would work. The thing with yours is that the background of the image blends in with the background of the page, so the pushing of 1x1 pixels isn't necessary. For those that don't have a background the color as their image (ones where the image isn't a static color), pushing it that 1x1 pixels does the trick.

Re: [hlds_linux] MOTD Questions
This is (a copy of) what we do: http://games.127001.org/banner.php The reason it's a copy is that we scan our apache logs for status 200 (OK) on the real version of the file... http://www.127001.org/mrtg/graph_90.html ...to give us a rough approximation of how many clients we're seeing. The banner is displayed more than once per client, but the other accesses have status code 304 (not modified) Note the totals differ between weekly, monthly, and yearly (cacti records hits per second [though we display as per 5 minutes], to get the total it multiplies the average back out) but as a rough and ready thing it ain't bad. We weren't logging in cacti for all of the demo (and the banner wasn't up for all of it), but manually grepping gives 17,112 hits to our l4d banner. Not bad for one server.

[hlds_linux] MOTD Questions
Is there a cvar which governs the size of the motd? I seem to have come up against a size limitation in my motd. Or is it better to create a frame and load the motd in that? For now I've gone with the frame. I've got four corner graphics, gifs with transparencies, 64 colours, optimized. All but one of the graphics are showing slight distortions, as if they are being resized. But I've set the height and width properties properly for the images. I've checked and double checked that. I'm wondering if it is a driver issue. The server won't be running until the weekend, so I won't be able to check that before then, unless someone else has an idea. When I say "distorted" I'm not talking about blurriness, I'm talking about sections of the graphic being offset from the rest of the graphic.

Do you have polish players?

A required update for the Left 4 Dead Demo is now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive the files. The specific changes include: - Fixed problem where the group browser was showing servers for groups you were not a member of - Fixed problem with split packet/reassembly on level transition. This would cause the game to feel laggy for some period after a level transition - Fixed a crash when connecting to a dedicated server Jason ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] More kernel questions
Does anyone know whether a tickless system (dynamic ticks) is or is not preferable? I have read some things that say to use dynamic tiks, but threads in this list have said not to.

Re: [hlds_linux] SDK / Server Files
For HL2, the release was at 3AM EST, or Midnight PST. That makes the most sense since Valve is on Pacific time. Though the Demo was released at 10AM EST, 7AM PST To be honest, only Valve knows their projected time right now, and we probably won't know until the game pops as "Available" ics wrote: > Assuming this timetable is correct, within 11 hours from now. > http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=751397 > Valve Time.. good one :-) > > -ics > > Nicholas Hastings kirjoitti: > >> "What time is the launch?

Re: [hlds_linux] More kernel questions
Hi, Thanks for your reply (and the others). The kernel in question used is the 2.6.27. I compiled it using the default config file which ships with Lenny. I have played around with HZ settings, the preempt thingies, tickles etc, but nothing seems to influence the CPU load. (This is tested with a vanilla TF2 install). Could you point out to me which are the important settings I should configure? I'll then give 2.6.28-rc4 a shot as suggested.

Re: [hlds_linux] More kernel questions
Hi, Thanks for your reply (and the others). The kernel in question used is the 2.6.27. I compiled it using the default config file which ships with Lenny. I have played around with HZ settings, the preempt thingies, tickles etc, but nothing seems to influence the CPU load. (This is tested with a vanilla TF2 install). Could you point out to me which are the important settings I should configure? I'll then give 2.6.28-rc4 a shot as suggested.

[hlds_linux] Strange client error after last HL1 update.
Hello hlds, After this last update (15.11.2008) some clients complain that they receive an error while connecting to some of the servers. The error is "Unknown HLTV client type" The thing is that not all the clients get this error. I`ve searched the forums for some info and all i could find is a "hint" that said to edit the config.cfg and remove all the "setinfo" commands. This advice didn`t work for most of our clients. Does anyone have the same problem? If you managed to resolve it, how did you do it? -- Best regards, StRaT0 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

You can't run lenny with an old kernel since you need a 2.6 kernel and during the update it would have taken the latest kernel from the apt repositories.

Re: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process
One thing I've noticed is that bot-controlled boss zombies are counted towards the amount of players, while bot-controlled players aren't. So if there's 3 players in the game, and there's currently a smoker and a boomer running around, I see 5 players for that server when doing a "status" on the parent netconport.

Re: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process
Not sure exactly what you are asking, but yes, there is bidirectional communication between the parent process and all the children. It isn't used for much right now, but more info could be transmitted. Currently, - the parent can send concommands to all children - the parent sees the spew from all children - the parent sees occasional status updates from the children. This allows, for instance, a monitoring tool to show you how many people are on your set of servers and what map they are playing by just connecting to one port and querying, instead of needing to connect to every running instance. Since some systems can run up to 40-50 instances at once, this is useful. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 4:24 AM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process Well, the new source dedicated server as a new feature: fork command line.

Re: [hlds_linux] The 1000fps problem
Hi ! I'm trying to get a 1000FPS stable server, with pain.. I've followed many recommendations on this thread like : - RT patched kernel (from Ingo Molnar) - with and without HRT Support - Tickrate 1000 and pingboost 2 I've posted my configuration here : http://pastebin.com/f7c4dff1e here's the result : around 950 FPS Unstable. If I try Tickrate 1 I get 1000FPS some times... but not stable and with an accelerated game :( I also tried the chrt program (chrt -f -p 90 PID, tried FIFO / RR, all the same results), that works better with a Low Latency Desktop kernel than a Real Time kernel. (I fall around 500FPS with RT kernel with chrt program). I know this is a kind of business on Internet game servers, but my goal is LANs, and I have no business plans on LAN :/ Thanks for your help :) Daryl. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
