Re: [hlds_linux] Newest TF2 update breaking bash

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

This is nothing new. I have had this kind of situation loads of times if  
the server crashes for some reason. The simple cure is to use command  
'reset' on the bash console so that all the terminal parameters are reset  
to their initial values, fixing whatever srcds changed to take control of  
the stream.

Does anyone else get this? After I run srcds, when I kill it, I must
also kill my current bash to type into the terminal again. So to speak,
my text goes in just fine, however it doesn't update on my side, so I
can't tell what's being written. It occurs after running srcds_run, and
stopping it whenever. I haven't tried with any other shell, but I would
expect the same thing happens. This is a clean new TF2 install.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Or set it in autoexec.cfg where you can also execute other "must be +  
prefixed on command line" commands that you don't change around every time.


autoexec.cfg is executed once at the server start, after which the  
commands given in command line prefixed with + are executed (all this  
handled by valve.rc)


server.cfg is executed every time a map is loaded.

Some feedback here for Valve:

I went through the learning process of srcds servers/tf2 about nine  
months ago or so.


Because of the large number of tutorials and howtos written by very  
eager novices, I was thoroughly confused on what commands needed to be  
issued as arguments on the command line and which needed to be in the  
server.cfg.  I had to do a lot of troubleshooting and experimentation  
before I figured this out.


Clarification via official documentation as to which commands need to  
go on the command line and which need to go in the server.cfg would be  
good.  Also, which need a - and which need a + would be good too.


FYI, here's the command line used to start one of my testing quickplay  
servers;


./srcds_linux -game tf -ip 0.0.0.0 +clientport 27041 +hostport 27141  
+tv_port 27241 -steamport 26041 +replay_port 27441 -strictportbind  
-pidfile /home/hlds/srcds-servers/server-tf2-PHXONE/server.pid  
-maxplayers 24 +map pl_goldrush


This same command line setup is very similar for hl2dm, css, and  
l4d/l4d2


Notice how some are + and some are -.  There is a good reason for each,  
but there is no pattern or any sense to any of it from a sysadmin  
perspective.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent Linux-Server to execute plugins from outside

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

The point isn't really that plugins can be loaded from elsewhere. No, that  
isn't needed, but the real problem is bigger than that. The srcds process  
has as much access as the user/group it is running as. If a user can  
upload a plugin to be used on that server, that plugin also has all the  
privileges as the host srcds process has. That is, it can go for example  
check the rcon_password variables from config files of other customers'  
installations if they are installed with the same user account. That as a  
simple example. If a customer should not be able to access the files of  
other customer, then their processes must be run with different local user  
accounts.

You all think it's ok, when the server can load plugins from anywhere.
Do you need this? Tell me why.

In example one provider have one user for all gameservers on a host.
Every customer gets chrooted FTP-Access (virtual users) to his own
serverdirectory. So he/she can't access to the other directories. I
know you like it more complex and want for everey gameserver his own
user. Nice, safty first.
Then is the next problem to get the screen for an different user to
his gameserver for debuging. Maybe sourcemod hangs or something else.

When you like hacks, you can execute as root:

chmod 666 `tty`; su -c "screen -r css_27015" customer123

A little nice hack. I know you can use shared screen sessions. You
like more complexity.

Third example: You are using Teklab and your customer have two
gameservers. So the customer can access to his two gameservers, when
they are on the same host. In this situation the customer can load
plugins from his second gameserver. There are many mini hosters who
uses this.

You really want to tell me, that you ever have loaded Plugins from
outside the serverdirectory?
plugin_load "/home/plugins/zBlock/zblock"
I don't have tested it until yet, where the server after this writes
the logfiles for zblock. Maybe in your addons-directory or outside in
/home/plugins/zBlock/zb_logs/?

I think its easier and safer to use for this way symlinks. The safest
way is, to block only loading plugins, which aren't located in servers
directory, but don't break the support for symlinks ;-)

2011/1/21 Marco Padovan :

Agree to this :|

Why can a single user access to another customer dir?

ANY command handled on server side (of course movement commands won't be

and not try to limit specific command that is abused to then limit the

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead dedicated server always crashes on the sacrifice map change from 1 to 2

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

I just tried and the same happened; crash right after trying to exec  
server.cfg when loading the second map of The Sacrifice campaign. Although  
in my case the crash cause was different, but originating from the same  
function in tier0:


*** glibc detected *** ./srcds_i486: double free or corruption (!prev):  
0x093aa308 ***

=== Backtrace: =
/lib32/libc.so.6(+0x6c231)[0xf7618231]
/lib32/libc.so.6(+0x6dab8)[0xf7619ab8]

bin/tier0_i486.so(_ZN12CStdMemAlloc4FreeEPv+0x20)[0xf75648a4]

(might be just different libc version handling free() differently causing  
the crashing point to be different)


Also there were some anomalies in the game itself. When there was supposed  
to be tank fight by releasing the train door, there was only a horde of  
infected, but no tank. When I tried to open the second door, it wouldn't  
let me with message "Exterminate the tank!"... WHAT TANK?
Well, after the horde was eliminated to the last zombie, the game let the  
door to be opened. Another weird thing was that after the pile of bricks  
there were no infected at all. No specials or even common infected; the  
train station was quite empty and so an easy run to the safe room, after  
which we had the server crash.


I also had those few harmless-looking error messages on loading the first  
map, btw. There was also this:


Connection to Steam servers successful.
   VAC secure mode is activated.
NextBot tickrate changed from 0 (0.000ms) to 3 (0.100ms)
Scene '.vcd' missing!
Entity 202 (class 'infected') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but  
'm_clientLookatTarget' changed.


Waiting for an update to fix this...

Re: [hlds_linux] Error in Line 341 on Startup

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Which CPU does this server have? Illegal instruction typically means that  
your CPU does not have all the instruction sets SRCDS uses.

Re: [hlds_linux] Possible update?

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Those are not command line options per se. They are just normal console  
variables that you can set in any cfg file or the console directly. All  
the command line parameters starting with + are just commands to be  
stuffed into console once the server has started. For example +map  
something causes the command "map something" to be sent to the console to  
load a map after the server starts up.

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds_run: line 329

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

hlds_run is just a shell script starting the actual server binary. On line  
329 it starts the actual server that then segfaults for some reason.

Re: [hlds_linux] port changes

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

One could make a bash script to check the port availability and only start  
the server if it is free. Something like this:


#!/bin/bash

PORT=27015

if [[ $(netstat -nul | grep $PORT) ]]
then
 echo "Port $PORT already in use, not starting SRCDS"
else
 ./srcds_run $*
fi


Now instead of using srcds_run directly, you would call this script. Of  
course you can customize it to your heart's contents as you see fit.

Nice to know that someone else also gets Alarm clocks with L4D2 (signal

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 mutation cvar

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

It's enough for someone to start a lobby for mutation and then use the  
server for playing it. For the current "Realism Versus", it is enough to  
have the server accept gametype versus so that the mutation can be played  
on it.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] HL2 Masters Have Moved - L4D2 broken?

Interestingly, I still see my own server in "Steam Group servers", but  
that is the only one, I no longer see the other 46 servers that come from  
the official groups. At least the player side of me is happy with that (no  
more unwanted servers there!), but the system side of me is not happy with

Re: [hlds_linux] Offline LAN server

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Aside from -insecure one could also try -nomaster switch and specify  
+sv_lan 1 on the command line too. I am not sure if -nomaster is  
implemented in L4D servers, but at least with earlier source games, that  
could be used to prevent the server from doing updates to the master  
servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] [L4D2] Bug awarding "Confederacy Of Crunches" achievement

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Considering my past experiences of Steam Support, and considering this  
seems like a bug in the game code (either client or server side), I  
severely doubt it will get anywhere through that avenue. I have actually  
reported some bugs previously through that channel and the response has  
been in the lines "we know it's broken but don't care. More power to you  
if you can get it work properly"

But if there is a way to report this kind of issues that way so that they  
actually count, please inform me which categories to check for the  
question.

[hlds_linux] [L4D2] Bug awarding "Confederacy Of Crunches" achievement

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Yesterday I played on my own Linux L4D2 server with a friend. It was The  
Parish campaign on easy difficulty. During the game two other friends  
joined so we finished the map with all four survivors being human players.  
During the campaign I only used melee weapons and accessories (molotovs,  
pain pills, etc.). When we got to the rescue vehicle, me and my friend  
both got the "Bridge Burner" achievement for completing the campaign. I  
should have also got the "Confederacy of Crunches" achievement for using  
only melee weapons during the campaign. When we got the Bridge Burner  
achievements, I did see in the upper right corner the Steam messages for  
both achievements, but on the chat area we only saw the Bridge Burner  
achievement.

So now when I look at the Achievements list in game, it shows me that I  
have unlocked the "Confederacy of Crunches" achievement, but when I look  
at my Steam Community page, it shows that I have not unlocked it yet. So  
now I guess I need to clear my local achievement data and finish another  
campaign with melee only to get it awarded to me properly. I guess it's  
noteworthy to say that the Steam Community activity report displays we  
getting all the achievements again we got earlier. For example "My  
History" says:

Nov 19
You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: VIOLENCE IN SILENCE, SOB STORY, BEAT THE RUSH,  
GONG SHOW, STACHE WHACKER, CL0WND, FRIED PIPER, LEVEL A CHARGE, ACID  
REFLEX, CRASS MENAGERIE, A RIDE DENIED, HEAD HONCHO, DEAD IN THE WATER,  
DISMEMBERMENT PLAN, BURNING SENSATION, ARMORY OF ONE, CHAIN OF COMMAND,  
SEPTIC TANK, CLUB DEAD, TANK BURGER, PRICE CHOPPER, MIDNIGHT RIDER, RAGIN'  
CAJUN, WEATHERMAN, BRIDGE BURNER.

Nov 18
You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: SOB STORY, HEAD HONCHO, LEVEL A CHARGE.
You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: ARMORY OF ONE, PRICE CHOPPER, ACID REFLEX, A  
RIDE DENIED, BURNING SENSATION, CRASS

Note that the achievements from Nov 18 are listed again in Nov 19! This  
seems to be case with all the friends who played on the same server too  
when I look at my activity report; all their achievements are displayed  
again at Nov 19. Note also that later the same day some of the other  
people did get the "Confederacy Of Crunches" achievement on that server  
without problem.


I am not exactly sure if this is a bug in the Linux srcds server, the  
game, Steam servers, or where, but apparently something went wrong there  
because the game now thinks I have the achievement but the Steam community  
profile says that I have not. Also that the previous achievements are  
displayed as being achieved again is intuitively something that should not  
happen. I hope this is being looked at, and of course some kind of  
explanation would be welcome.

[hlds_linux] L4D, L4D2: Cannot join dedicated servers with LAN and Public IP

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Hey all,

this problem has been around since the Left 4 Dead update with Crash
Course, or the update that added mm_dedicated_force_servers cvar (not
exactly sure). This is still a problem in Left 4 Dead and seems to also
affect Left 4 Dead 2 Demo.

The situation is that I have a dedicated Left 4 Dead Linux server running
that has two network adapters: one for LAN and other directly connected to
Internet. The 'status' output looks OK:

hostname: Left 4 Dead 2 Demo
version : 1.0.1.2 4017 secure  (unknown)
udp/ip  : 192.168.2.50:27015 [ public 217.24.105.77:27015 ]
os  : Linux Dedicated
map : c5m1_waterfront

It shows the private and public IP address there. Generally we play it so
that me and one of my friends connect from the local network to the LAN
IP, as I have set in my client configuration:

mm_dedicated_force_servers "192.168.2.50:27015"

The problem is that no one outside this LAN can join the game, not from
Lobby nor by using "Join game" option in friends list. I asked them to
look at their console, and they get information that the PUBLIC IP for the
server is 192.168.2.50 while it should be 217.24.105.77 in this case. So
instead of connecting to the server on the correct IP address, those
clients attempt to connect to the LAN IP which obviously will not work. If
they use the client console to connect with "connect 217.24.105.77", then
they are able to join the game.

I'll reiterate that this worked fine before the Crash Course update on
Left 4 Dead while the client variable used to force the lobby to my server
was ms_force_dedicated_servers. There could be people from LAN and outside
the LAN on the lobby and we would all be on the server together; the
people on LAN connecting through the LAN IP, others through the public IP.
Since then, the game makes everyone try the LAN IP, effectively blocking
half of the people from the server unless they connect manually through
console.

Any news when this will be fixed for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2?
