Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 toolchain on centos 7
I've just spun up a blank CentOS 7 VM to test, and will hopefully help
clarify the problem and solution for some people.
1) I installed tf2 with "-beta toolchainbeta" on the CentOS 7 VM
2) I ran "./srcds_run", and had the following message in the output
"Could not load: replay_srv.so"
3) I checked the libraries required by this file with this command:
"env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:bin" ldd -d bin/replay_srv.so"
4) All libraries were found except for "libcurl-gnutls.so.4 => not found"
5) ran "yum install libcurl.i686"
6) ran "ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4"
7) ran "./srcds_run", and sure enough, the server launched
I am not intimately familiar with how library symbols are read, but I
suspect that it may not actually be able to use the libcurl provided by
CentOS that is compiled with OpenSSL, and it may literally just be
causing it to believe the library is there. However, I would be glad to
be proven wrong on this.
It is worth noting that this issue could be alleviated altogether by
Valve if they were to compile against libcurl3 rather than
libcurl3-gnutls on Ubuntu (which I believe is where they compile).

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released
If it's of any interest, although I don't actively run a TF2 server any more, I've successfully run a HL2:DM server on FreeBSD now for about a year, and it's never failed to run after an update. Odd in a sense, because it's Linux compatibility layer is based on Fedora 10, but I suppose the libraries themselves are from the base system which is far more up-to-date. In fact, with the exception of this latest update and old Debian versions, I struggle to remember the last time any Distro had a major issue with an update. -Pricetx ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Just to make sure it wasn’t just 3rd party maps causing it, I started my server with the map dm_overwatch, and here’s an extract from my console output: ConVarRef room_type doesn't point to an existing ConVar Executing dedicated server config file server.cfg Precache of sprites/redglow1 ambigious (no extension specified) CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 CMaterial::PrecacheVars: error loading vmt file for models/items//grenade2 Precache of sprites/redglow1 ambigious (no extension specified) Initializing Steam libraries for secure Internet server [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. dlopen failed trying to load: /home/ggo/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so with error: /home/ggo/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Note that I'm talking about the CMaterial error lines, the other errors either existed before SteamPipe, or are for a valid reason (such as the bottom one).

[hlds_linux] SRCDS hangs
Hi, I run Debian Lenny for my GSP service where I among others run CS: Source. Every machine has a local install of the game itself, and every customer has the chosen game's directory directory symlinked to itself. The games run in a screen, and it works perfectly for CS 1.6 and a few others, but CS: Source hangs after it's been running for a while. I get nothing in the console or anything, it just stops, wont respond and has to be restarted. Any idea what can be causing this?

[hlds_linux] Hosting issue
Hi, I've been running my game servers from NFS mounts for some time now, and i started getting issues with them recently. The servers themselves run from screens. The issue i'm having is freeze lag that appears now and then and annoys the hell out of my customers. The only thing left to try is getting rid of NFS, but as this is quite a big procedure i'd like eto know if people here have experienced similar problems and if running the hlds from a local drive fixed stuff. Another solution that would suit me very well would be if i made a hybrid betwee nthe two, ie keep customer installations on NFS with symlinks to local installations. That way i can migrate game servers between machines and customers don't need to mess around with re- creating CFGs etc. What do you think about this method?

You can't really count "200 MHz per 4 players", as it depends largely on CPU architecture. It also depends on what you're aiming for.

[hlds_linux] Server query question
I run a web site with a lot of counterstrike 1.6 servers which i right now query using "rcon status" to find player information and such. I recently noticed that all these status commands make the hitbox on the servers worse, so i need a replacement. I found the http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/ Source_Server_Queries page, and it seems like a better idea to use such things compared to rcon status. The thing is that i'd like to find out the ping of the players who are online, but it seems like theres no way to do that using server queries, or are there?

Hi there, I run a couple of servers, each one with amxx plugins (thought different types).. When my servers have been running for 12-24 hours they start to lag and needs a restart.

The servers themselves are accessible from the outside without problems, it's just VAC that won't start up. /Jonathan > Jonathan wrote: >> hello, i can't get VAC to work properly. >> >> i get the following message: >> >> version : 47/1.1.2.5/Stdio 3651 insecure (secure mode enabled, >> disconnected from Steam3) >> >> i tried reinstalling hlds like some posts suggested, but it didn't do me >> any good >> >> i have secure "1" in liblist.gam and i don't start the game with >> -insecure.. what else could be causing this? >> > Your connection to the Steam servers is probably failing. > > If you are versed in UNIX, you can use "strings" and "grep" to try > fishing out the hostnames (tip: they'll probably contain > valvesoftware.com) from all the .so files, then try "ping"ing these > servers, etc. etc. etc. If you're even more versed, you could use > tcpdump and/or ethereal to capture all the network communication the > dedicated server is doing and analyze it to find the problem. > > For starts, if you're not sure that your Internet connection is working > perfectly, try running a simple ping such as "ping google.com".

[hlds_linux] Kernel tweaks
Hey there, i run a couple of 24/7 cs servers on a few boxes with around 512-1024mb and 2ghz+ cpus (amd64/intel). On some of these boxes i run more than 2 servers, and when they start getting full, i get a lot of lag. My question is: can i do some kind of kernel/software tweaks in order to make the servers perform better, or do i simply need better hardware?

[hlds_linux] HLDS Cluster
Hi, I've been using a cluster-like setup to start counter-strike servers on demand for a while, but it's never really worked that well. At the moment i use sun grid engine 6, but i was thinking of using something like openmosix instead. Any thoughts on this? If i use (open)mosix i need to use the 2.4 kernel, which i heard doesn't perform as well as 2.6 for hlds. Is there any other alternative available? The key idea is the launch a server immediately as someone presses a button on a website, without having to care about load on the boxes. Right now i have 22 diskless server nodes in the cluster. OM also seems like a good idea since i will be able to expand it while it's running without downtime or problems. One thing i'm not sure about OM is whether the load-sharing thing is good or not. Ie, if a node gets overloaded, it moves processes to a node with less load, if one exists. A move like this when the process is hlds will probably cause a lot of lag for the players. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
Yes, the nodes share images. However, i gave the nodes their own ~/.steam directory, so it's always the same machine that writes the clientregistry.blob file. Sure, i could remove it each time a server is fired up, but it feels like a very ugly hack. :/ The .so files i have in the image directories are: core_i386.so engine_amd.so engine_amd64.so engine_i486.so engine_i686.so filesystem_stdio_amd64.so filesystem_stdio_i386.so libSteamValidateUserIDTickets_amd64.so libSteamValidateUserIDTickets_i386.so proxy_i386.so steam_api_i486.so steamclient_i486.so test1.so test2.so test3.so tier0_s_i486.so vstdlib_s_i486.so I have no idea what those test*.so files are and if they're supposed to be there or not. > Suns grid software.

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
AFAIK they are all clean halflife installations with only cs running (this is not hl2 with cs source) The strange thing is that it all works fine for a few times if i delete the clientregistry.blob file, but then after a while the crashes start appearing again.. The way my system works is that a user on my web site "books" a server for a certain period of time. When that is done, a column is added to an sql database. A cron script on the master cluster server reads that sql table, and if there is a new booking to be made, launches a server on one of the nodes as a job submitted to the cluster. If the booking time for the server has went out, the server is shut down by the master server, ie, it terminates the submitted job. Does the hlds server need to quit gracefully in order for it to work properly the next time it's started? I mean, does hlds recover badly from crashes? I don't know how sun grid engine works internally.. if it kills hlds properly or not (i think it does). I also have a script that updates everything to the latest versions, which i run regularly. Still, i want it to work properly the normal way. > Im no expert but it sounds like a bad plugin, what addons do you have on > that server? > > Jonathan wrote: >> Right, that got rid of the errors ... for a couple of minutes :( >> >> I still get crashes, but instead of abort traps i get: >> >> ./hlds_run: line 303: 7169 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $CMD >> >> What can be causing this?

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
Right, that got rid of the errors ... for a couple of minutes :( I still get crashes, but instead of abort traps i get: ./hlds_run: line 303: 7169 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $CMD What can be causing this? It still seems to be steam that's crashing, but i really can't find out why. Does it have something to do with running multiple servers on the same box? Can i disable the automatic update and instead schedule something as a cron job or such? The automatic update also takes some time to complete. > The problem was that the ~/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob needed to be > deleted.

The problem was that the ~/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob needed to be deleted.

[hlds_linux] hlds crashes
Hello, I maintain a network of around 100 counterstrike servers with roughly half of them as bookable servers in a cluster, for a large cs community in Sweden. I run all of the servers on linux gentoo, some on i686 and some on amd64. The cluster software I use is sun grid engine 6, and all the server nodes are diskless clients. The ordinary servers run fine, but the bookable ones crash momentarily with the following error: - AssertPreCondition Name: NonNullFilePath Expr: !sFile.empty() Line: 334 File: ../../../Common/Misc/FileUtil.cpp ./hlds_run: line 303: 8855 Aborted (core dumped) $CMD - I browsed the forums and mailing list and found people with similar problems from late 2005 running FreeBSD 5.4. Their answer to the problem was to update cs using the steam updater. I did that for all 60 cs installations I got on the bookable servers, but they still crash with the error above. I tried to examine the core dumps and strace'ing the processes but I didn't find any useful information.

[hlds_linux] [OT] Cheaters having legality issues?
By the way, when I started this thread it had nothing to do with the DMCA, nor anything to do with prosecuting cheaters or whatnot. I personally don't mind a lively discussion because I can choose what I read anyway, as long as you put [OT] in the subject line (fortunately many of you already do this). Oh and if the guys that sent in the startup scripts read this, thanks, they were very helpful (and relevant to this listserv).
