Re: [hlds_linux] Method To Increase Server Traffic
Good concept, bad way to implement it. The concept of raffles or lotterys for players is great, it can improve player retention by encouraging them to stick around and contribute and potentially raise money to be used for paying the operating costs of the server itself. The method you bring up to do so, however, seems sketchy and less useful. The practice works best at a smaller scale, where the people running the raffle are also the ones directly responsible for day-to-day operation of the server and leading/moderating the community that surrounds it. Many communities (A certain Battlefield 2142 group comes to mind) use this, raising money from donations to pay the monthly hosting cost and raffling away the rest to the players. Going through somebody else isn't necessary or desirable for these communities, because they benefit more from doing it all themselves.

Set tf_mm_servermode 2 to be placed in the MvM pool. * For MvM matchmaking, if 6 players are sent to your server to start a new game, it will switch to whatever map the players selected. * You will need a TF gameserver account to accept matchmaking traffic. * You can switch the server in and out of any matchmaking mode pool or back to any regular game mode at any time. * The CPU usage for a 6 player MvM game is about the same as for a regular TF server. (Yep, this mode requires significantly more CPU cycles per player than the PvP mode, that's an unfortunate fact.) Given the surge of players that comes with any major release, and the player / server ratio of this game mode, the demand for MvM servers will probably be high. We expect that a large number of players will want to try out the new mode, so we will be converting most of our servers to host MvM, and then adjust the allocation based on what players are playing.

Re: [hlds_linux] Quickplay and personal respawn times.
Personally I feel this conversation has gone a bit off in terms of answering the original question, so back to that: How does TF2 detect if servers are editing gameplay (respawn times) and not editing tags? I ask because all my servers run a custom plugin that allows players to buy faster/instant respawns using points they earn for playing (earning kills, capping points, etc). However this does not change global respawn times and so does not edit the value of sv_tags. Is this type of thing going to trip something in the client that then reports my server to valve, or is this whole process tracked with the abuse reporting system? To my knowledge, Valve has not revealed how the server tracks this, and I don't believe that they will, since doing so would provide users and authors of the systems at fault for the recent sweep of infractions a reference point for finding/building a workaround. As for if what you are doing will trip the system, I have no way of knowing for certain but I assume that it would, since you are, to quote Fletcher, Running with significant gameplay modifications, such as respawn times, without having the proper tags on their server designed to alert quickplay and automated searches about those modifications. My suggestion would be to simply enable the tags and take the penalty. Quickplay traffic should still come every so often, and if your users really do like the modifications I doubt you will have problems keeping your servers full.

Re: [hlds_linux] Team Fortress 2/Counter-Strike: Source/Day of Defeat: Source Updates Released
I spoke to Robin Walker about clientside plugins a while ago. One of the reasons it took so long to get that update out was because while there are a ton of plugins used to cheat, there are a few genuinely useful ones that sadly get drowned out by all the bad ones. The example he gave me was P-REC, which auto-records demos and is highly regarded by the competitive community. They wanted to make sure they could stop things like LSS, but allow those useful plugins to exist. Using non-approved plugins from this point forward will get you hit with a VAC ban.

Re: [hlds_linux] Linux Distribution and Kernel
In actual response to the original question, Ubuntu is fine, I find it a lot easier to use than a lot of other distributions. As for your question about x86 or x64, if your box can run the 64-bit version there really isn't much of a reason not to.

They might ensure more accurate wakeups, but the sleep(1) call really limits how accurate those can be anyway even with hires timers, a ld_preload to mess with sleep() could get you much more accurate/efficient wakeups, but that's more involved and only really helps CPU usage when the server is not under load. Non-hi-res kernels tend to use a bit less CPU (though again, usually only under low loads) because they wake up less often and waste less time waking up and going back to sleep for the next tick. The expense of this would be slightly less accurate gameframe times, but on the order of1-2ms so its not really significant. The main thing I would worry about, then, is kernel version - newer kernels have a better CPU scheduler, and a lot of work has been done on this recently. Also keep in mind that FPS is largely bogus - a server pulling 10k FPS can be crapper than one pulling 100. The reasons behind this are complicated, but do yourself a favor and dont even look at FPS - join the server and throw up net_graph 4. If you're getting 66 updates per second (or whatever your tickrate is) and var: is pretty stable below 10-12ms or so, your server is essentially lag-free. The number of variables that go into effective lag is so complicated that anyone claiming to notice a difference of 2ms from kernel wakeup timings is full of it. You'll also find plenty of people who claim to know better, or have complex (and wrong, unsourced) explanations about why 1000FPS is good - which is why its that much more important to just use net_graph and sane judgement, and don't believe any of the voodoo unless you see real results - Neph ___ 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 ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
