[hlds_linux] L4D and vm.swappiness values?
Has anyone ever messed around with tweaking the swappiness value for a maximum performance on a Linux Left 4 Dead server? I'm running a CentOS 5.x server with 2 Xen guest domains for Left 4 Dead (and the 2nd for the soon-to-be-released Left 4 Dead 2) and have been pondering on whether tweaking the swappiness would give me any better performance. As is I never use my swap except for some 32K that randomly shows up on my Cacti graphing, but otherwise everything runs in memory. -- Logan Rogers-Follis - logan.rogers-fol...@tntnetworx.net Try New Technology Networx - www.tntnetworx.net Owner / IT Consultant ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] Killing floor advertisement possibilities?
Hi, Does anyone know what the advertisement possibilities are in KF? I host a couple of servers but don't own the game myself, and I am new to the UT engine. Is there something like a banner or motd or an advertisement system in it? Or could you do anything with admin tools such as sourcemod?

[hlds_linux] net_maxfragments / A2S_RULES / etc
Hi, I have faced a problem that I can't solve on my own therefore I hope somebody could contribute to this thread with something useful. I have build a software that does something very similar to HLSW. Recently I have discovered that A2S_RULES does return truncated data from OB servers. I have searched over the web and found out that I'm not the only one facing this issue. The problem seems related to the net_maxfragments cvar, which is by default 1260 bytes. Whenever a packet received from server is bigger than 1260 bytes, it *should* fragment and should be split into two or more packets. However the header in the first packet is 0x which means there is no more data and read() does not return anything anyway beyond 1260 bytes. I have tried to change the net_maxfragments to the minimal value available (256), however the received data is 500 bytes and with the header 0x which is still not a split-packet. I checked the HLSW output to compare with my results and it does truncate rules, too. I have checked several servers and the results are the same for servers that have response > 1260 bytes. There is seriously something wrong with the query protocol... or I'm totally crazy. -Kaspars ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Fork with different IP addresses?
You have to have just the right set of ip's in order for this to work, and you would do -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.1## or 2## and it would do 101(or 201) to how ever many forks, if you try it with 17## like in your example it does 1701...1702...etc, close but wont work, if valve could allow a singular # operator it could work, or change the ## to not have a leading 0. Either way I don't think IP forking is easily feasible without a change in the srcds forking logic.

Re: [hlds_linux] Updating servers RANT
Whenever I've had issues with steam being slow it was DNS. I changed the nameservers in my resolv.conf to something outside of the provider or my own (typically, I'd use a Chicago pnap name server like ns1.chg.pnap.net). That usually fixes the problem.

Re: [hlds_linux] Updating servers RANT
If it works fine for one box and not another, and both configurations are near-as identical, I'm tending to blame the box. Maybe an issue with your hldsupdatetool/steam binary.

Re: [hlds_linux] Updating servers RANT
Yesterday i wanted killingfloor, wanted to update the server i already hade but it stayed at "updating installation" for ages, never updated a single file.
