Re: [hlds_linux] Overlapping port usage when running multiple servers on one machine
I've attached the bash script that I've used and improved upon for years now to start my TF2 servers. It assumes there's a servercfgfile named server_portnumber.cfg that contains the settings specific for that instance, for example your server identity and logdir. It starts the first server on port 27015 and works it's way up in increments of 10. Using the -strictportbind option just makes the server quit (and restart over and over if autoupdate is set) if one or more of the ports it wants to use is unavailable, instead of just picking a higher portnumber. For that reason I stopped using it, since I let the server assign all other ports by itself. If anyone has any comments, questions or suggestions about my script feel free to ask.

Re: [hlds_linux] Overlapping port usage when running multiple servers on one machine
Here is an example start command for TF2. This assumes you want to stack all of your servers on a single IP, which is what I do: ./srcds_linux -game tf -ip 1.2.3.4 +clientport 27017 +hostport 27117 +tv_port 27217 -steamport 26017 +replay_port 27417 -strictportbind -pidfile /whatever/server.pid -maxplayers 26 +map cp_dustbowl IMPORTANT: Order of arguments matters. +map must be last. Where CLIENTPORT=27017 HOSTPORT=27117 TVPORT=27217 STEAMPORT=26017 REPLAYPORT=27417 IMPORTANT: For this example above, I used 17 for the last two digits on the assigned daemon ports. You MUST stagger your ports by 2, due to a bug with STEAMPORT where it will take whatever you give it and +1. In other words, only use all odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7,...). This gives you the opportunity to stack up to 50 servers on a single IP. For example, I specified the STEAMPORT above to be 26017, but it will actually use 26018. Note the use of -strictportbind, which means the srcds_run process will exit if ports are already in use. However, the srcds_linux script will auto-restart the process by default. You may wish to disable autorestart, or replace the srcds_linux script with your own script. Under this scheme, here is what a set of iptables rules might look like: -A filt_in_srcds -p tcp -m tcp --dport 27100:27199 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A filt_in_srcds -p udp -m udp --dport 26000:26099 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A filt_in_srcds -p udp -m udp --dport 27000:27099 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A filt_in_srcds -p udp -m udp --dport 27100:27199 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A filt_in_srcds -p udp -m udp --dport 27200:27299 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A filt_in_srcds -p udp -m udp --dport 27400:27499 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A filt_in_srcds -j RETURN Have fun.

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 beta server update
That isn't accurate anyhow. AMD CPUs can run at 1000 just fine. On Linux, it takes having hires timers, which every modern kernel supports; on Windows, it requires Win2k8+ and having HPET enabled. Also important to note is that sys_ticrate must actually be set higher than 1000 in order to obtain a realized FPS of 1000. You could use 0 or 1, for instance. -John On 2/11/2013 2:29 PM, AnAkIn wrote: Considering anything over 100 is pointless, why would you want this? 2013/2/11 px p...@i.kiev.ua Hello, Alfred. Taking about frame rate, in this article https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5386-HMJI-5162 stated: If you set sys_ticrate (HLDS) or fps_max (SRCDS) to 1000, most Intel CPUs running on Intel chipsets will run the full 1000fps (plus or minus a few). AMD CPUs and Intel CPUs on non Intel motherboard chipsets may only run at 500FPS with a setting of 1000.

I've attached the bash script that I've used and improved upon for

the first server on port 27015 and works it's way up in increments of
10.
Using the -strictportbind option just makes the server quit (and
restart over and over if autoupdate is set) if one or more of the
ports it wants to use is unavailable, instead of just picking a higher
portnumber. For that reason I stopped using it, since I let the server
assign all other ports by itself.
If anyone has any comments, questions or suggestions about my script
feel free to ask.
