Ah another one. One of my IRC friends had trouble with the motherboard
he got from ebuyer. Basically it ran his cpu and memory so fast they
melted. (Yes, he used the default autodetect paranoid bios settings) :/
We decided that either the mobo was either plain broken, flashed with a
broken/incorrect bios or possibly had some weird virus in the cmos. I'm
not sure what the outcome was but I think he was talking to his lawyer
about it.

Anyway, stay away from ebay/ebuyer! The only things I buy over the net
is shrink wrapped stuff. Eg CDs, DVDs, Games. Even then I buy from
reputable suppliers with a credit card (so I'm financially covered).
There's plenty of good advice on the net for this subject. Just use
Google. (Although disturbingly its UK-centric, or is my google toolbar
being clever?)

Subject: [hlds_linux] LAN Server specs?

I have a 32man pub running on an 850mhz athlon with 512 ram right now,
and it lags.  I want to upgrade my hardware, not too expensive, roughly
$250 worth of upgrades, maybe more, I just want at least 2ghz.
What im asking is: what would be the best combination of motherboard +
processor + ram, for probably the cheapest, but the best quality for the
price.  This is what I want to run:
Httpd, hlds_l (32man pub w/ adminmod/statsme/and some other plugins),
ftpd, sshd, and a few other small things.  So what would you suggest as
the setup, I currently have a 60gb hdd, and a case and power, so all I
need is the mobo, proc, and ram

Thanks

Play should be ok unless the FPS starts to go below 30.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Pingboost modes...

All the pingboot modes attempt to reduce the latency caused by the
server.
The default implementation adds around 20msec to each players ping
(under
linux).

Mode "1" reduces this by using a different wait method (a select()
call). This method reduces the latency to 10msec.

Mode "2" uses a similar but slightly different method (and alarm() type
call). Again, the result it 10msec worth of latency being added. NOTE
that this method has the potential to hang a server in certain
(terminal) situations. If anyone has used this mode recently (not the
first test we did!) and it hangs please speak up.

Mode "3" minimises the latency to the minimum possible level by
processing a frame EVERY time a packet arrives. This causes the lowest
possible latency, but can also cause extreme CPU usages (it does a
complete frame for every packet, with each player sending lots of
packets per second and 30 players this adds up to insane amounts of
frames). Use this mode at your own risk, it will consume all available
CPU, don't complain that cstrike uses too much CPU if you use this mode
:-) In a future release this mode will be tweaked to let the admin
balance latencies agains CPU
usage (by processing a frame every N packets).

There is also an external modules called "pingbooster" by UDPSoft (or is
it UDPSoftware?). They implement something like mode "3". As this is an
external module, and was built for an older version of HL (1108) it may
not work properly any longer, and future releases may (accidently) break
it.

Theres basically 3 reasons this could happen.

1) Lack of bandwidth
2) High CPU usage
3) Low server FPS

To check these it's easiest if you run the 'stats' command via rcon or
on the server console. You might want to automate this process to create
some pretty rrd_tool graphs aswell (check the mailing list archive,
someone posted some perl scripts to do this awhile back)

Now the solutions:

1 + 2) Run less HLDS processes per machine and/or lower your player
limit.
3) Use the pingbooster command line option and/or fiddle with the HZ
setting in your kernel. Advanced users may wish to try differing kernel
versions. (Search the mail archive re: 2.6.0 and 2.4.9)

I'm sure others will have more ideas for you.

Hi everyone,

Basically I have a problem whereby my DOD servers (other HL mods don't
fill so I'm not sure if it's dod-exclusive) give players ~+80 on their
ping when the server starts to fill. I've looked into all hardware
aspects that could cause this, which are the most obvious solutions, but
there is no hardware problem. Our spec is good, and other games on the
same boxes work fine and normally. RAM, CPU and bandwidth usage are all
fine.

We're using HLDS 3.1.1.1d (i think lol - the one released after the
security holes), and the latest version of DOD. The servers are all
running AMX as well so I'll have to try it out on another server account
without AMX on to make sure it's DOD/HLDS.

Could someone outline things I should check through to try and fix this
problem? Or any ping boosters etc that I should install? And settings
that could need changing? I recall that the same problem existed with
3.1.1.1c (or whatever was previous version lol). If you need more info
from me, please let me know.

Thanks,

Chris Adams

RE: [hlds_linux] -tos and it's benefits

This is more useful on a LAN/WAN than on the internet. Unless you have
control of the routers QoS settings there's little point using -tos.

On the other hand, it's not like it adds anything in the way of extra
CPU/net traffic so there's no harm done.

You could perhaps use it as a placebo on your players if they complain
of lag/bulletloss?

Ok, I was going to stay out of all this, but this statement's just plain
ridiculous. Look, you're running a FREE PIECE OF SOFTWARE. FREE. You've
paid no money to VALVe to run the *server* (if you wanna grip about the
client, that's another story). They are not obliged to provide services
to you, just as you're not obliged to stick to a platform with which
you're obviously unsatisfied.

HLDS is one of the few multiplayer games available where the server is
not required to be commercially licensed (i.e., no CD key, no purchases
necessary). That VALVe have supported your industry (your industry being
server rental, I'll assume) for years now, for ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY, is
pretty friggin spectacular. I don't know of another commercial entity
out there that has chosen to devote as many resources to a free product.
I know they're not doing it out of some sacrificial altruistic motives
here, but to claim injury from a free piece of software, and to further
suggest litigation over it, is just ludicrous.

If you want a leg to stand on, go shell out the $40-50 to run a server
instance for Battlefield 1942.

The P4 is a marketing chip.  It's not actually meant to give good
performance.  Instead, it's meant to sound good to ignorant end-users.
Intel takes advantage of them by giving them a crappy design, but with
really high clock speeds, and then forces major manufacturers like Dell
to use nothing else.  And if you want "good performance", you pay out
the nose for the highest-end CPU, the latest in inefficient design.

Many server admins have a reserved slot system going on to allow only
admins connect into the final spot on the server.

Valve nicely added sv_visiblemaxplayers to allow us to hide that
reserved slot, but with the current system it can't be done.

When people connect to a server they have a pending Steam ID, and their
real ID is not assigned until a few seconds later.  This means the only
way of having reserved slots working is by allowing people to join the
server then waiting to check.

The major problem with this 99% of people joining on the last slot won't
be admins and get kicked, which is rather rude IMO.

Wouldn't a system where the ID is assigned before people join the server
be better for situations, or even Valve supporting reserved slots
directly. I only have a mod on for reserved slots, so perhaps this is a
feature that should be supported directly.

RE: [hlds_linux] Adminmod and Steam

[Geoff King]

Admin mod rather brokenly assumes steam ids to be

STEAM_O:12345

Thusly your users.ini line should read

STEAM_0:207300::131071

However, this will allow Steamids STEAM_0:0:207300 and STEAM_0:1:207300
to have admin access.

Use passwords to get round this problem.

Subject: [hlds_linux] Adminmod and Steam

I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.  I am doing some
testing on
a linux server, mainly because I do not want to be bouncing my clan's
server.  I downloaded the latest dll from adminmod, as well as the
latest
dll from metamod.  I put them in place and modified the game dll to
point to
addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so.  I edited my users.ini in
addons/adminmod/config to one line - STEAM_0:0:207300::131071

When I log into the server it says wrong or incorrect password and gives
me
the default access level of 1.   I did an admin version and it responded
with the beta dll's version.  I tried an admin_password and it
complained
about an empty password, however everything I am reading online shows
the
users.ini without one.

I figure it is something I have misconfigured, just not sure where.  All
of
the adminmod commands respond in one way or another, even admin_help
works.
Any ideas on this is greatly appreciated.

John

RE: [hlds_linux] NS + Steam?

Server works, Suffers random crashes occasionally though.

The client on the other hand, requires complicated and time consuming
voodoo magic to make it work. Thusly I'm reluctant to upgrade my
'public' servers until there's a 'native' Steam release of NS v2.x

Basically, it works but don't expect anyone to connect to your Steam NS
server.

Another post in the thread in the steam forums from Erik Johnson quotes
this as an "unavoidable problem." So it doesn't look like there will be
a
solution.

On the plus side, might encourage to me rewrite my ban system and
integrate it with a web interface and mysql backend or something. Anyone
use a system like this at the mo, or know where I can get one (too lazy

Pardon? Nothing in the metamod 1.16 changelog for CS. I believe you're
woefully misinformed.

Taken from www.metamod.org

"Added support for Server_GetBlendingInterface() in order to allow
client and server to properly coordinate custom player model blending.
This should fix the issue with mismatched hitboxes observed with CS and
DOD."

If you're not running metamod 1.16 your hitboxes are broken on DoD and

Stop your bitching.

You should have been running at least 1.15 metamod - it has been out
for months.  Infact 1.16 has been out for months - although I still use
1.15 - as I saw nothing in the changelog that affected CS.

I don't know about clanmod, don't use it myself.

RE: [hlds_linux] hlds dos vulnerbility

[Geoff King]

7130 is the default port used by HLSW (www.hlsw.net) when querying game
servers. You can block the older versions of HLSW which do excessive
queries by using HLDS 3.1.1.1c1's query rate limiting cvars

Hiya peeps,

Just wondering if anyone here is experiancing this.

Recently it has happened quite a few times - the tcpdump looks something
like this :

14:06:57.443567 x.4k-gaming.netg.27024 > xxx.netbios-ssn: udp 1030 (DF)
14:06:57.443625 x.4k-gaming.netg.27024 > xxx.netbios-ssn: udp 1030 (DF)
14:06:57.443682 x.4k-gaming.netg.27024 > xxx.netbios-ssn: udp 1030 (DF)

This looks like the person who is sending the packets to the
games-servers :

14:06:57.494289 x.7130 > x.4k-gaming.netg.27017: udp 12
14:06:57.497716 x.7130 > x.4k-gaming.netg.27017: udp 11
14:06:57.501764 x.7130 > x.4k-gaming.netg.27017: udp 14
14:06:57.507196 x.7130 > x.4k-gaming.netg.27018: udp 5
14:06:57.510018 x.7130 > x.4k-gaming.netg.27017: udp 5

Other than say blocking the specfic UDP ports -which could cause other
problems - is there any fix?

It seems to cause about 400kbyte traffic from 6 games-servers!

Thanks
James

Just got back from vacation, and noticed all this talk of Steam.


Ok, i'll bite and be the ignorant flame-magnet.

"What is Steam, and how does it help/affect me, as a linux hlds admin?"

i'll read the FM, if somebody points me to it.

thanks..
