Re: [hlds_linux] Replay corruption/crashing
Hi Alex, Thanks for the response. It isn't that we need example replays with the error - we need to be able to catch the actual server in action, writing corrupted data. In order to do so, we need to figure out what causes the server to write that corrupted data in the first place. Under what circumstances will a server write a bad replay? That's the question for which I am trying to find an answer. It may be that a specific item is equipped on one of the players, and that's screwing things up - I'm not sure. That's what I need help finding!

[hlds_linux] Halloween 2011
We're going to be launching some new Halloween content in the near future and wanted to give you all a quick heads-up. There will be random gift drops, but this year we are requiring that participants register their servers. If you choose not to register, you can still run the Halloween maps, but no gifts will drop on your server. By registering, your server will also be included in matchmaking, which will potentially drive traffic to you. Note that cheating or otherwise abusing the gift drop system will result in losing your registration, access to gift drops and other potential value-adds in the future. You still have plenty of time, as this change won't be going live until next week. Registration is quick and simple, and is outlined herehttps://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513#how. -Jon ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Another common problem is hackers who are repeatedly changing their name, making it quite difficult to determine their steamid. It would be nice to rate limit name changes if possible.

Aimbotters are rarely trying to hide what they're doing - they're often getting headshots as fast as they can fire while taunting people in chat. Speedhackers are very common too - a lot of these get detected by our anti-hack script, which has been averaging a ban per day since the F2P update. Wallhacks are hard, because there's no obvious giveaways if the player isn't being obvious, and most people who want to be obvious go the aimbot route. We get a few auto-detections of these per month from our anti-hack script, but the script is far from perfect, and I suspect there's a lot more of them than anyone realizes. I should also note that most of our hacker bans in the last months have been free accounts with no friends, seemingly created just to go troll people. It would be rather sweet justice if some sort of hardware fingerprinting were to find and VAC their real accounts. That would be one hell of a deterrent. - Neph On 08/31/2011 02:39 PM, Jon Lippincott wrote: I'd like to compile a list of the most common hacks/cheats you all are seeing and see what measures we can take on game servers to help.

Re: [hlds_linux] Replay cleanup
The reason why it didn't remove your older data is because the session files (in replay/server/sessions) expired and were removed already (back when cleanup was broken), so when the cleanup system compiles a list of files to remove from your fileserver, it doesn't have a way of accounting for that older data. Any newer data should have been removed, however, and 'force' definitely should never crash. I would recommend clearing your server and fileserver of older replay data manually, and then trying to use cleanup again. Keep in mind that replay_docleanup only removes expired files, which is based on the number of days implied by replay_data_lifespan. Calling 'replay_docleanup force' will force cleanup of all replay data, whether it's expired or not. Do you have a minidump? Your log should tell you the name of the minidump. Also, if you would, send me your server's IP and I can take a look on our end. -Jon -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of AnAkIn .

It's been awhile since I've had time to work on my server control scripts and I'm grepping old mail. I want to second what was said below. Any sane program would exit with an error status if it's manually allocated resources were already in use, but the source server doesn't do that. I consider this a bug and implore the developers to fix it. Even if you had to add a new command line flag to permit for backwards compatible behavior, that would be okay. Something like -explicitports or whatever. While I'm complaining... It would also be nice if ports actually used what port they are told to use! For example, if you assign set -steamport 26013, the process will actually bind to port 26014 instead, making it necessary to allocate resources in an odd order to prevent trampling (11, 13, 15, etc).

The advantage is that the replay is enabled for the first map, but the disadvantage is that the bot is not visible to outside world (is not included into A2S_INFO response packets). b) From server's config file. The disadvantage in this case is that the replay is not enabled for the first map (so you must reload the map after the server is started), but the bot is visible to outside world (is included into A2S_INFO response packets). There are two problems with the first method: a) The bot is connected to server, it is using a slot, but is not visible to outside world. This cause problems to any plugin which manage the reserved slots, because it adjusts the sv_visiblemaxplayers cvar thinking that the outside clients see X connected players, while in reality they see X-1 connected players. b) The bot is not visible to outside world, but the number of bots is reported correctly. So when there's a player + replay bot, from outside a TF2 client sees only the player, but knows that there's one bot = the player is a bot :D And in TF2 bots are not visible (a 24 slot server with 10 bots is displayed as having 0 players and 14 slots). - Original Message - From: Saint K.

Would there be any issues using in a server.cfg ? Adding exec relay.cfg to it. This way i would think if they comment out exec relay.cfg in the server.cfg the relay system would not be loaded on a map change. Of course the replay_enable would need to be set to 0 by default.

[hlds_linux] Fixes
Hey all, So we have a Linux fix in the pipe and should be rolling it out by the end of the day. This should fix the massive lag spikes for FTP offloading, and the (smaller) spikes for those running local HTTP servers. Other fixes include: - Fixed pruning of stale replay data - Renaming failing for those using the local HTTP mode. If you are serving replay data on a different volume, the rename will fail silently and the game will explicitly copy delete the file. -Jon ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] TF2: Still massive lag spikes with replay enabled
The ThreadSleep() call was expected to be running off of the main thread, which will be fixed in the next update. The rationale behind the call is as follows: We found that deleting a file immediately followed by a call asking the OS if the file still exists would occasionally fail, which would break the file publish and shut down replay for the remainder of the round. The 500ms delay is obviously very conservative, but should not matter once the job actually runs on a separate thread. I'm not sure anyone will care about this particular detail once after the update, but I could potentially expose a cvar if it's still causing problems for anyone. -Jon -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Saint K.

This is not such a huge problem because the files are small, but the CLocalPublishJob::DoExecute function contains a ThreadSleep(500) call, which simply blocks the server for 0.5 seconds. This every 10-30 seconds. I have no idea why Valve did this (the sleep is called after a file is deleted and before is verified if the file still exists), but until they fix the problem you can patch the replay.so library. Use a hex editor (http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ for example) and search for C7 04 24 F4 01 00 00 E8 45 EB FD FF Replace the bytes with 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 This should fix the lag problem for Linux servers. I don't guarantee that there are no side effects, but seems to work ok on my public server. As I understood from SPUF they know that for Linux servers the job is executed into main thread and will provide a fix next week.
