If you connect without a lobby (i.e. through console) you can still turn on cheats.

[hlds_linux] L4D2 Demo - console output 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:00
Everyone, I think I saw some posts about this, but at the time I just skimmed past them as I hadn't seen this issue yet (rather I wasn't looking, because I was busy making my new hlds run-level startup script). Anyways the following is the issue I am seeing. Any advise? If it's old news could some one just forward me the posts about it? (lost my password for the mailing list archives (need to find that again)). When I watch my Left 4 Dead 2 Demo server via "xm console domU" from my dom0 I see the following output scroll on my screen: 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:00e3f395 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:002359da 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:00e3b1ce 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:0031f9a0 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:00e3b451 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:002359da 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:0085d4c2 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:001f517b 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:00859c5f 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:0031f9a0 printk: 59602 messages suppressed. 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:003aad5d printk: 275 messages suppressed. 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:003aad5d printk: 271 messages suppressed. 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:003aad5d printk: 269 messages suppressed. 4gb seg fixup, process srcds_linux (pid 24262), cs:ip 73:003aad5d printk: 271 messages suppressed.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d2 demo sv_cheats
I don't think he was "crying" about anything. However, the change to sv_cheats was probably done to prevent clients from using the grenade launcher and the various ammo types in the demo when they weren't meant to be included in the demo. I doubt it's for any kind of cheat protection when it was only done to listen servers. Also, it's "more." Shawn P.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 demo server spew in master console
To add to this, I see the unified spew in the master netcon, but I _DON'T_ see it coming from stdout on the server itself. This makes my logs rather bare and empty and is, from my point of view, the exact opposite of what I want. Note that I'm starting my servers with " >> /var/log/games/somefile.log 2>&1" on the end of the startup line - I believe if you leave them running in a screen they still output everything, but we can't do that on our server for various reasons, one of which is we use upstart (ubuntu service manager) to control our servers, and the other is we already use screen for other things and it's easier to reconnect if you only have one screen session per user ;) I also still see what I'm typing (or at least I do when the unified spew isn't whisking my letters off the screen faster than I can type) - but I use netcat (nc) instead of telnet, which among other things lets you use ctrl-c to exit, and lends itself well to automation (a 1-line script can connect to all child servers and query the number of players in each) While we're on the subject, I've noticed that if you DO redirect stdout from a srcds server to a file as we do, it notices and has some kind of fixed-size buffer that it fills before writing. That means that not only do lines sometimes not show up straight away, but the chances are that at any given moment the last line on the log is likely to be truncated. This does not happen if, for instance, I pipe to another program - that program will see output appear line by line. Any chance of the equivalent of grep's --line-buffered option ? The options on buffering for srcds's own logging system don't affect its stdout behaviour, and we can't use those logfiles instead of redirecting stdout for the twin reasons of being unable to choose their location and the file naming format being unsuitable for us. > -Original Message- > From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux- > boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Chris Boot > Sent: 31 October 2009 09:19 > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 demo server spew in master console > > Chris, > > What I think would be handy is if it was off by default, but you could > run a command on the master netconsole to en/disable it that tools can > use. > > Also, when I run my dedicated servers (forked) I'm still getting the > children crashing a lot on startup but then settling down, and I also > don't see my commands echoed to the console.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 demo server spew in master console
Chris, What I think would be handy is if it was off by default, but you could run a command on the master netconsole to en/disable it that tools can use. Also, when I run my dedicated servers (forked) I'm still getting the children crashing a lot on startup but then settling down, and I also don't see my commands echoed to the console. As in I can type 'broadcast foo bar' but that never shows up, only its output. I have to type blind, which is rather error-prone.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d2 demo sv_cheats
If you have set up a dedicated server(s), the cheats work fine. I just tried entering them on console and this is the result: sv_cheats 1 L 10/31/2009 - 09:26:34: server_cvar: "sv_cheats" "1" sv_cheats "sv_cheats" = "1" ( def. "0" ) notify replicated - Allow cheats on server Maybe it's disabled for the client only and this is just a quickfix so no one can ruin others games. Different for the game itself. -ics Russell Jones kirjoitti: > Looks like this new update brought with it the inability to enable > cheats on your own servers that you pay for and manage. > > What the heck does "Please start your own listen server" mean?
