Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Available
Ok, this is something that has been bothering me for quite a while. Why is it that Valve is pushing out updates on Friday nights at: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 18:32:33 -0800 Please, other admins, chime in here unless I'm just crazy. The servers I host, and once in a while play on, are *always* at their busiest between Friday afternoon sometime until sometime on Sunday morning (I'm CDT, for reference). Perhaps, unless there is something absolutely critical to fix, these updates should be pushed out on a Monday morning. That way, if a new issue crops up, our players can be notified of some *new* issue and any possible workarounds if there isn't another patch before the weekend, which, again, is always the busiest time. This Friday night patching is akin to my rolling out major changes to my email systems at work on Monday morning around 10am (just before our busiest time of the week). Is there any way this can be adjusted?

If I were to break things (or potentially break things) during peak times, I wouldn't have a job. I've been a sysadmin for many years and the reason I'm still a sysadmin is because I *don't* do things like roll out updates at peak periods. Anyone else on this list that is a real systems administrator knows all about those 2-4am Saturday night rollouts (when it's off-peak for just about everyone except gamers). *That* is the short and long answer. Any server administrator that chooses to do this is not a professional administrator. This game server stuff for me is nothing more than a simple hobby so it's not really a huge deal that Valve pushes out these updates on a Friday night since I've mainly got just a group of friends depending on my machine being accessible for gaming. Here, I'm mearly trying to get a dialog started that other admins can append to so at least we are heard. Now, don't forget, there are people out there that are making a living doing game server hosting and support for people. These are the admins that are getting screwed by this Friday night update crap, and I feel bad for them because a shifting of the release schedule by a few days in either direction would be a lot less pain for them to deal with.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl
Jonah Hirsch wrote: It will not work. Here's how the VPK system works. When a mapmaker packages their VPK file, they have to make a missions.txt file. This contains information such as campaign name, version, author, which maps are for which type of game, and the images. It also includes a download url. (Remember this!) To start an add-on game, one person needs the addon. When anyone else tries to join their lobby, they are presented with a message saying they need to download the addon, and is presented with the download url that the mapmaker provided. It's very similar to how it used to work. The only advantage is starting the add-on campaign from the lobby, instead of changing the map once you connect to the server. Instead of making a lobby and giving people a link, l4d gives people the link for you. It'd be very nice if the server could push out the file, or you could use sv_downloadurl, but if it did people wouldn't be there for the beginning of a map. Is there any sort of open source (preferably cross platform) .VPK file extractor/packager? I've noticed that in a couple of the packs that I've downloaded that the download url is http://www.l4dmaps.com/ and that site is SLOW (overloaded). On the flip side, I can host these maps on the game server (on a 10Mb/s synchronous connection) and let players download the maps in seconds rather than hours. Which brings me to the purpose here, changing the download url in the packed .vpk files. If there's not a pre-written extractor/packager (that works on linux), is there a link someone can provide on the binary format so I can write my own?

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Mike Zimmermann wrote: One could argue the fact that even if you could download VPKs from the server, what would happen if the original site went down? How would you know where the new updates for it are at? Afaik, if someone in the lobby has a newer version of the VPK, everyone will be directed to the URL in the latest version to download it. So if a site goes down (which really doesn't happen often enough that it would be a nusaince), you just update the version in the VPK and put in the new downloadurl. People will then have to redownload the entire VPK but at least it will have the correct downloadurl. This is true, but The crux of this is that this is just another example of valve shoveling the responsibility for something it should be maintaining onto the community at large. It would be really nice if valve would step up to the plate here and host the addon campaigns. Make a simple web app that accepts the VPKs, and perhaps even automatically sets the download url(s) in the package. Then the issues of volunteer maintained disjointed, and sometimes only partially working, sites is a non issue. Another issue is the lack of built in compression in this format. For christ's sake, incorporate zlib, gzip or bzip2 compression into the file format. A standard zip file is achieving approx a 70% reduction in file size here. Simply incorporate a decompression lib into the standard steam client so the players can download a 30MB file, decompress it in a second or two and start using it. For sure, gzip and bzip2 are GPLed open source, so simply including a compiled version of the chosen library in steam is free and no violation of the license (as long as they don't modify the source code, and there would be no reason to). Obviously, this would greatly reduce the amount of bandwidth usage. This is so damned easy to incorporate, it's rather frustrating that it wasn't done 10 years ago. Actually, it's just plain stupid that it hasn't been done.

[hlds_linux] Recommended setup for steam group
I'm wondering what the recommended setup is currently for setting up a steam group server for L4D. I'm currently running 4 forks with 4 separate config files. 2 of the instances are steam group servers and 2 are public. The public servers seem perfectly fine, but the question is about the steam group servers. They both start up as coop (as opposed to versus) servers that you just join. If I want to play coop, it's not a big deal since I can join and vote a different campaign, difficulty, etc. Now, here are my questions. Is there a way that I can make one of the steam group servers a versus only server? Can I override the +map setting from the command line in my server.cfg file as well as the mapcycle file? Second, is there a way to make it so that I can just connect to the steam group servers via a normal lobby? I've posted both my command-line startup and one of the server_##.cfg files for the steam group server below for reference to what I'm currently doing.

[hlds_linux] LAN Server setup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm wondering if anyone can suggest the best setup for a dedicated server to be used for LAN play only from the server and client perspective. I have a linux box with the l4d server running, but I'm taking it over to a friends this weekend for a LAN. First of all, I'm wondering what I should have in a server.cfg (beyond the obvious sv_lan 1) and what startup options I should use. I'm planning on forking 2 servers since I think there will be enough people to fill them both. The next question is, how do clients connect to it, change options, etc.? I know you can connect to other hlds servers with connect ip in console and I assume that works here as well. Is there a way to set up a lobby and connect specifically to the LAN box? Any help, or links to help, would be greatly appreciated. The LAN is on Saturday and I'd like to get everything straightened out by tomorrow night.

Re: [hlds_linux] The better way to start hlds as daemon
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Nevermore wrote: Hi, i am now using screen to start my server as daemon. But i know that professional hosters uses diferent ways. i have reasons to think that screen is freezing my servers. so... How do you start your server? If you're not interested in having terminal based console access, a good way to go on this is a simple shell script wrapper that starts the server in the background and logs all the output to your syslogger. Copy the following to a file, modify to suit your startup options and chmod 755 filename. Then, you can just run this script to start the server. The output will probably show up in /var/log/messages by default. If not, configure your syslogger. #!/bin/sh # Set vars to be used game='left4dead' ip='*.*.*.*' game_opts=-game $game -ip $ip +map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment base_dir='/opt/halflife/l4d_demo' log='/usr/bin/logger' log_opts=-p daemon.info -i -t $game cmd=./srcds_run $game_opts 21 | $log $log_opts # Change to the base dir cd $base_dir # Run it, but start it as a background task $cmd -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkd4NEACgkQQ0lr+ZVKSBjrsACfetc3SNfFHpj5hyjl6OGOAshe 10AAn3Z2O+kxaFVcYbOgyM52GMQGY3hM =/mEe -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
[hlds_linux] Server will not start, crashing
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've been trying to get a srcds server running for the left 4 dead demo and I've had zero success with it so far. It crashes on startup every time.
