[hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Linux Dedicated
Hello all, I'm running a dedicated server with CentOS and trying to get Left 4 Dead2 started. I have just about everything configured already. Just need scripts for start.sh, restart.sh, stop.sh I'll be running the scripts from Webmin which is how I control all of my game servers. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Linux Dedicated
Just modify the scripts you use for the other gameserver. The srcds_run file is the same, the startparameters for l4d2 should be known...

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 sv_cheats?
A more correct answer would be that you can use cheats in a game that wasn't created via a lobby. So like Brent said load the map locally, or connect to an empty dedicated server through console.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 sv_cheats? - Possible sv_region error
Again, no this is not an sv_region bug. It's because there are more people wanting to play in that region than there are server slots in that region I have the same issue on my server, I have sv_region 0 and people join from portugal? Everybody's pings are very low, like 200's and up. I know it's not my server because i have friends from all over the US join and have great pings of under 30. Added to the subject line.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Linux Dedicated
If you are using kill srcds_run and srcds_i486 like I am (for L4D) you will need to kill srcds_run and srcds_linux for L4D2 (of course you need to make sure you kill it for the right user) I actually wrote up a quick run-level script (acts as a service in linux) that handles all that for me from the command line, but you could probably use Webmin to call the service (supports: start, stop, restart/reload) Script: http://www.tntnetworx.net/?page_id=147 NOTE: A startserver.sh file (called in my hlds service script) can be found at the bottom of http://www.tntnetworx.net/?page_id=500 Logan Rogers-Follis - logan.rogers-fol...@tntnetworx.net Try New Technology Networx - www.tntnetworx.net Owner / IT Consultant Ulrich Block wrote: Just modify the scripts you use for the other gameserver.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released
Jason, What I'd really like to know is when achievements will be fixed. It appears most of the members in my Steam group have their achievements regularly wiped off Steam Community (though they remain in game) and we have to earn them all over again almost on a daily basis.

[hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
Hello, I'm running a vanilla L4D2 server with four public forks and two private forks which have sv_steamgroup and sv_steamgroup_exclusive set. sv_steamgroup_exclusive seems to work as intended, and matchmaking keeps my public servers full most of the time wile the group servers sit empty unless group members are using it. However, I noticed last night that if I use mm_dedicated_force_servers as a non-group user and specify the IP and port of a group server, it connects my lobby to that server. We had a 8-player lobby full of users which are not in the Steam group, but I was able to get us onto the group's server simply by specifying it. Is this a bug? Has anyone else seen this?

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
Our 2 exclusive servers seem to be defining tags and search_keys fine, but no versus games can be setup at the lobby. In fact, ALL versus games are being directed locally. I did mm_dedicated_force_servers on my client and set search_keys, but all connections to our servers resulted in the existing campaign already idle. Can anyone force their servers into versus mode from console? If so, I'd love to know how. Limiting sv_gametypes is not getting the job done.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
I'm confused about what you mean by no versus games can be setup at the lobby. I was able to set up a versus lobby last night and then play versus on our steamgroup server just fine. The problem is that I shouldn't have been able to play on that server, since I wasn't a member of the group (and no one else in the lobby was, either).

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
That's correct, Dave. Exclusivity, by itself, doesn't block pubbies. We assigned search_keys and exclusivity to do the best with what we have for now...which blocks public matchmaking. Our problem tonight, since the update, is that we cannot get a versus game generated that does not host locally on a client. Either no dedicated servers are accepting the request, even if I specify with mm_dedicated_force_server, or the lobby system is borked again. Tried this both with client defined sv_search_keys/mm_dedicated_force and without. To the best of our research, all versus games are being hosted P2P. Last night, prior to the update, everything ran relatively well. The point is, a.) without search_keys you cannot keep your server exclusive to your Steam group, and b.) since the update today around 3:00pm EST, versus games will not matchmake or connect to private servers. --Kerry From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of David Parker [dpar...@utica.edu] Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 10:28 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive I'm confused about what you mean by no versus games can be setup at the lobby.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
I think something is up with the sv_steamgroup_exclusive cvar. I have it set in my server.cfg, and when I launch the server, it fills immediately with players. Only after I kick everyone off the server does it stay empty until someone in our group does a mm force to it. I have not tried an mm force as a non-group member though.

The cvar only takes effect when the server is empty. Once players are on, pubbies can get assigned to your server via matchmaking. To block that, you need search_keys defined. Honestly, what would make the most sense is for Valve to clearly and concisely tell us how the matchmaking cvars work, including their interdependencies. The trial-n-error stuff is for the birds. --Kerry From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of gulfy32 [gulf...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 11:23 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive I think something is up with the sv_steamgroup_exclusive cvar.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
Sorry, I hadn't played since the update came out, and that's why I was confused about versus. Anyway, I'm not using a search key, and I haven't had any problem with public players joining our group servers. Group members usually see these servers in their list of group servers in the L4D2 menu, and I think they are able to get to them that way instead of using mm_dedicated_force_servers (I haven't asked them, though). So sv_steamgroup_exclusive seems to be enough to keep these servers out of matchmaking, but not enough to keep public people off the servers if they specificy one of the servers using the mm_dedicated_force_servers method. Does specifying a search key prevent public lobbies from connecting to the server if mm_dedicated... is used to specify the server?

[hlds_linux] L4D2 server performance
We've been running a lot of L4D servers for a while now, and with L4D2 we're again running a lot of servers as well (512 forks as of right now). We were originally running L4D primarily on Dual E5450 (3Ghz) based servers with 16Gb of RAM each in them, and we found that they would handle 64 forks with each core running at around 90-95% on average, and we found running them that close to maxed out for L4D didn't negatively affect in-game performance. Since then we've bought a few new servers based on the Nehalem chips, with the CPUs being the E5530s (Dual in each server) again with 16Gb of RAM (memory running at 1067Mhz). So this brings us to L4D2, on the older E5450 hardware we've still got and use, we've found that L4D2 performance is virtually identical to that of L4D, in that we can again run 64 forks on those same servers with the each core sitting at 90-95%. Now with the Nehalems (E5530), we initially tried 64 forks and found with all servers full it was only sitting at around 50-60% CPU across all cores, so we cranked that up to 96 forks and all of the cores sit at around 80-85% CPU load on average (with all servers full), so realistically we could add some more forks if we wanted. Now the first thing people might suggest is that we're using a tweaked to hell kernel, but thats not the case at all. We're running them on a completely stock minimal install of CentOS 5.4, with nothing tweaked at all. We haven't tried using the 5530s for any other games as yet, but the performance increase that we've observed on L4D2 is quite impressive. Its also nice to see that Valve have been able to keep the Linux server CPU load about the same with L4D2 as it was with L4D. / Ben ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
Regarding your mm_dedicated_force_servers connectors... Is a connection using that cvar constitute a direct connection? Like connect serverIP:port? If so, then you might be able to keep them out with sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1. Not sure. Are you able to start a server in versus mode? I've heard only failure reports using +map c1m1_hotel versus at startup. If so, then how can we specify a game type other than campaign? Because lobby versus game builds just aren't working for us. --Kerry From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of David Parker [dpar...@utica.edu] Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 11:52 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive Sorry, I hadn't played since the update came out, and that's why I was confused about versus.
