Re: [hlds_linux] Server Detection
Hi, I've got several servers running in a VMware environment as well, and I've been having an issue with the master server as well. After capturing the traffic to the master server on different TF2/L4D2 servers, I noticed that virtual machines with the VMXNET3 vNIC did not connect to the master server. If I changed the vNIC to E1000 the problem was solved. Have you tried changing this? Kr, Thibaud 2011/11/13 Frank ad...@gamerscrib.net This may or may not be a good question as I may be over looking something simple...but I've recently started up another TF2 server but for some reason the new one isn't showing up when you search in the in-game browser yet I have one that is Identical almost aside from a few minor changes such as #1 vs #2 in the name. The older one that has been populated a while is showing up fine - does the in -game browser require a few days or something of population before it really starts showing up when you search for a key word even a word in the map like Trade or Payload etc etc. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Yes i know the difference. But still it would be good for me as server admin to know how much they have played the game. Because my bans are not by admins. They are from didrole`s dblocker. Most of the bans are on new acc`s. But still good to know if its a new player or old one using fake nicks or other acc`s.

Re: [hlds_linux] steam hide your profile
Anything that influences how server admins build up their communities are of interest to others, if you dont, then either, just delete the mail, or sign off the list, cos your not interested in it anyway. Subscribe to hlds_announce, and you have your update mailings without those pesky mails about things that other server admins DO want to discuss. This and other subjects interest me for I want my community to be a pleasant experience for my playerbase. Any that involves that, is a valid topic imo on this or the hlds list. And not entirely agreeing with the request, as a join date can easily be found by going up or down a couple numbers in the steamID32 and finding a profile thats public and set up, maybe even use a plugin that requires a set up public profile, x friends, and x games minimum on it. Regarding playing hours... tbh, I dont find that interesting, more their stats on the profile on the game. I do agree to want a system that if one account is banned from a community, all the alts are also banned. Really, I'm so tired of it that they come back with new F2P accounts that I'm again considering to just use the plugin to keep those out, and will use a system to Auto-IP ban as well for banned ppl. Till valve implements a system for server admins to find alts for sure, I'll be banning the IP's. If some good have to suffer of it, fine.

Re: [hlds_linux] Intel Turbo Boost?
I agree with Ook, one server per core is a good way to start. I run a TF2 server and CS:S server on the same core of a Core 2 Duo without any issues, but these are not high-traffic servers. Keep in mind that with L4D and L4D2, you can run forks instead of separate server instances, and you can get more servers on one box using forks. I'm curious about the 500 GB RAID 0. Assuming you mean that this is a single RAID 0 volume made up of multiple drives, I think you would be better off setting up a RAID 1 mirror with less capacity. Personally, I'm not a fan of RAID 0 because you can lose all of the data on the volume if one drive fails. - Dave Dave Parker Systems Administrator Utica College Integrated Information Technology Services (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 - Original Message - From: Ook ooksser...@zootal.com To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 10:58:31 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Intel Turbo Boost? I'd run one server per cpu core at first, and see how it performs. If it performs well, then try two servers per core and see if one core can run two servers. I'm sure others here have experience on multiple servers per core and can comment on how well it works. I initially ran an L4D server on an old single core Athlon XP. It ate a lot of cpu, ~50-60% IIRC, but player performance was just fine. I ran my OP4 servers on the same cpu at the same time, but OP4 servers even fully loaded might eat a total of 5% cpu, even on those older cpus. I would disable multi-threading if running one server per core, and only enable it if you want more than one server per core.

Re: [hlds_linux] Intel Turbo Boost?
SRCDS definitely DOES use the benchmarked speed for timing, hence the problems seen when a server is started on a non-turbod core. Once the core becomes boosted, the game runs much faster than it should, and hence vice versa if the core is boosted prior to launching the server and the speed is decreased.

Re: [hlds_linux] Intel Turbo Boost?
Can you reproduce this on a reasonably vanilla kernel? I see no reason why this would be the case.
