Re: [hlds_linux] Stats for Gearbox server?

[Rick Payton]

I think you're on the right track weasel.

Ook, I found this clan site: 
http://eu.apg-clan.org/stats/hlstats.php?game=gearbox

Extrapolating data from that in terms of weapons and events shouldn't be too 
hard to make it work. It looks like you'll have to hand edit some MySQL tables 
though, specifically hlstats_Games & hlstats_Games_Supported.

After you do that, login to the hlstatsx:ce admin panel, and unhide the 
gearbox/op4 game, then you should be able to use the web panel to add events, 
maps, weapons, etc.

I would think in HLStatsX, you could define it as an HL1 "mod".  You might have 
to setup a new icon for it, and I forgot how to enter the mod-specific weapons, 
but I'm sure there is a way.  I seem to recall that I had to do that when I was 
running HLStatsX to track my Deathmatch Classic (DMC) server, and a couple of 
copies of "Snow-War" mod I run.

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 custom maps

That's a much clearer explanation, and it corresponds to my experience.

I think it works like this (note that I have been wrong before, e.g.
an hour ago):

Search path without -addons:
* cstrike
* ...

Search path with -addons:
* cstrike_addons
* cstrike
* ...

(Files in the directories higher up on the list override those in directories 
lower on the list, i.e. cstrike_addons/maps/cs_italy.bsp will override 
cstrike/maps/cs_italy.bsp if -addons is on -- however, you probably don't want 
to override cs_italy.)

Steam reserves the right to overwrite anything you modified in cstrike
-- even e.g. if you have a map de_fuze installed in cstrike/maps and it becomes 
an official map, Steam will overwrite your version with Valve's. 
cstrike_addons, on the other hand, won't be touched by Steam.

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 custom maps

[Rick Payton]

Well my ADHD got the better of me, so I just appended -addons to my command 
line like I wrote below, and ftp'd de_prodigy2k to: 
/gservers/cs16/cstrike_addon/maps etc and fired up the server as normal, 
changelevel de_prodigy2k and it seems to be working.

So in my experience, custom CS v1.6 content (not mods - haven't tested that 
yet) goes in /cstrike_addon/maps /cstrike_addon/models etc etc

I think all the TF2 specific stuff was getting me confuzzled.

Ok Alfred, so even something as basic as adding a custom map to a stock CS 1.6 
server can be put in cstrike_addon/notamod/maps/cs_awesome.bsp - or is that 
strictly for modding CS, and adding custom maps still gets put in 
/cstrike/maps/ ?

Just looking for 100% clarification, due to the -addons argument.

So would my command line be ./hlds_run -console -game cstrike -addons 
+maxplayers 10 +map cs_awesome

Wrong, you should put custom content in a "cstrike_addon/" folder (a sibling of 
the cstrike/ folder) and run your server with "-addons" . The addon folder will 
override any content in the base cstrike/ folder, and will let you not get in 
trouble if you change a base file we distribute. You can just keep overwriting 
the base files in cstrike/ as you used to, but you will have them reverted on 
updates.

You're conflating two things here: the switch to the SteamPipe content 
distribution system, which affected Source and GoldSource games alike; and the 
new VPK-enabled file access subsystem, which all Source games got during the 
SteamPipe update (because GCFs are gone), but GoldSource didn't. (Your 
confusion isn't your fault -- Valve often spoke of both as if they were one and 
the same.)

The consequence: custom content for CS is still dumped right alongside the 
default content.

Re: [hlds_linux] Replay - quickplay scoring penality

If Valve only wanted players on their own servers, then why would they release 
the server software all of us to run extra servers? We are basically free 
server infrastructure and admins for their games, and you toss about that 
they're trying to sabotage us?

And to answer my own question ... yes.

Just copy all the skull_soldier.* to skull_sodlier.* (effectively) and the 
error goes away at least. If this affects anything else, I don't know yet.

But that's the easy fix to at least stop the error.

We actually see very good performance here with optimized (using PV or

Xen setups, to within a small percentage of bare-metal. What hypervisor
technology and speeds of machines have you been testing with? Are you

I've been on this list for about ten years or so. Yes, I joined the list

The only real change I have seen over the years in the quality of the
messages on this list is the amount of whining and complaining from the
list Nazis over the quality of messages on this list.

When a legitimate question is asked, we get lots of high quality
answers. When a troll comes along we have fun roasting them. When
someone with a mouth and bad attitude comes a long, we have fun telling
him to grow up. When an off topic subject comes along, we have fun
discussing it and we learn.

Remember the "Post your server pics" Topics I used to run once a year? 
We got to see some interesting pics of what everyone's servers looked
like, everything from impressive data-center racks to my OP4 server in a
cardboard box because I didn't have a spare case for it, and all kinds
of stuff in between.

I shudder to think what the list Nazis would make of the THAT were I to
dare doing something so horridly off-topic.

Re: [hlds_linux] Request: Adding servers by domain name

Either system would work. I personally would prefer game.hostname.xxx
saved and resolved every time you do a search, but that's my own
preference.

If the server steamed works, great. Linking to a server on a website
though, I'd still rather see steam://l4d.mauirixxx.xxx:27808 then
steam://steamID:port?/

Just looks nicer to me.

Since people are talking about implementing ipv6, I thought I'd bring
this
up as a more urgent improvement.

Servers can change IPs from time to time due to a decline in quality of
the
host or datacenter, or to move to better hardware at a better price.

Unfortunately it is my experience, and probably many others here, that
when
you switch IPs, you will lose the vast majority of your player base.
I've
tried mitigating this by putting up the new IP on the name of the old
server
or automatically spamming it repeatedly in the chat, and it just doesn't
work very well. I still get people asking me a month later where my
server
went, and that's only the people that bothered to friend me.

By being able to favorite a server by domain name, the player experience
would improve by not forcing them to re-add IP addresses or search
through
2000 servers to find the new one in case they missed all the signs.

Re: [hlds_linux] VMware and gameservers

[Rick Payton]

A few days after ESXi became free to use, I was running a Counter-Strike
Source server in a Linux VM, and nobody new any different. When L4D was
released, I was running 8 forks in a single VM, on old single core
Xeons, in ESX 3.0 - and nobody could tell. You don't need specialized
hardware, just "good" hardware. Never had a problem with latency - ever
- unless something else was whoring out the same connection.

Karl Weckstrom has been running TF2 servers in a VM I beleive since it
was released if I'm not mistaken, he has plenty of knowledge on doing
so, and making it perform well.

Correct, the new features given exclusive attention in this whitepaper
are those which drastically reduce overhead and latency regarding the
way network traffic is handled by the hypervisor.

As far as costs, resource expenditures, management and end-user rates,
are concerned, there is a case for consolidation of hardware--though, I
have always been wary of running game servers in virtual environments.

However, with the improvements in the recent-ish release of VSphere ESXi
(the free hypervisor environment), I may pick up cheap last-gen Proliant
385 from eBay and give it a go for my LAN parties. Our repertoire of
games often requires dedicated servers running in both Windows and Linux
environments respectively. Case in point, I definitely prefer a Linux
server environment, but games such as Alien Swarm and PVKii do not have
Linux binaries and require me to run another physical server under
Windows.

Re: [hlds_linux] dystopia 1.3 needs some servers

[Rick Payton]

So basically, if I create a separate directory off the game servers user
account dedicated to dystopia, it should work then?

I server cs source out of ~/srcds_ob, so I'm going to try
~/srcds_dystopia and work out of there. Since Dystopia will be the only
game out of that directory, it should work?

If that's the case, it sounds rather expensive in terms of disk space.
Are you guys going to migrate over to the "Orangebox 2009" eventually?

hey,
whoever is still interested in setting up a server, i think i tracked 
down the problem.
When downloading game dystopia it will actually break your orangebox 
binary files, that's why you need either run steam with -game dystopia 
first (on a clean install) and afterwards -game orangebox
OR
just do a ./steam -command update -game orangebox -dir . -verify_all to 
repair broken orangebox binaries, if you already downloaded -game 
dystopia that should fix the segfaults.

Also note afaik you cant use orangebox/ created by tf2, since this is 
not the orangebox we are on (source2007/orangebox vs.
source2009/orangebox)

TL;DR-Version:
[Clean Install]
1) mkdir orangebox
2) ./steam -command update -game dystopia -dir ./orangebox
3) ./steam -command update -game orangebox -dir .

Re: [hlds_linux] dystopia 1.3 needs some servers

[Rick Payton]

just got done doing the verify_all dance, it segfaults on line 344 or
srcds_run, which is the autoupdate section.

command line used: ./srcds_run -game dystopia +map dys_vaccine
+maxplayers 14 -ip 192.168.1.6 -port 27808 -debug -norestart

And the output:

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released

[Rick Payton]

man I can see this being abused quick - wasn't there a way to find the
Steam group ID?

If so, is there any kind of protection against people putting the ID of
groups that they shouldn't? If not, just ignore me as usual :P

-Original Message-

Server operators can set their server to be in multiple Steam groups by
separating the id for each group by a comma.

same here, on 2 different servers.

Updating Installation.

My thought, some patches get put out and they find bugs at last moment
so
they rush to get another patch put out.
Hasn't the last few updates , actually been about 2 or 3 updates at each
time they say theres an update ?

only solution, if I can remember from the last time this came up, was to
run the Windows version of hlds, as that worked fine. Well if you were

still applies ...

this crash is caused by sse2 not being available in cpu instructions, no
fix aside from valve removing those instructions or getting a new
processor,
this should not be necessary for such an old game :( please valve remove
those instructions so the older machines can continue to run servers.

It appears to me to be a bad memory chip, at least, that's my guess.
According to his memory info, he has 65 kilobytes of memory free, so
that may very well be a factor as well. But in any case, MY 2 cents of
input would be to try and swap the memory, before adding more ...

You can still run a server on that hardware in terms of memory 
requirements and processing power.  HLDS doesn't require anywhere near 
as much of those as many seem to believe.  However, I do think you now 
need the sse instruction set.

In fact I don't think you need the sse2 instruction set for HLDS, but 
I'm just about certain you need the sse instruction set, and that 
processor doesn't support that either (I thought I saw that there at 
first glance, but on looking at it more carefully I see it doesn't even 
have that).

I have run into the lib naming issues with other software, and as long

Does anyone know where to get the various mods for Opposing force such

Re: [hlds_linux] ban players in console

[Rick Payton]

if you have multiple servers, you seriously need to look into a more
streamlined ban management system, which most of us here suggest would
be SourceBans - http://www.sourcebans.net/ - if you want something a
little more "lightweight" but just as effective is "Sourcemod Webadmin"
available here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=60174

Both sites require Sourcemod on your game servers to work, but it sure
makes ban management a hell of a lot easier. It's definitely worth the
effort of setting up the web front end and MySQL database, shoot even if
you have only 1 server

I'm grateful this is being looked into now! One quick question. How can I
make a server without map rotation automatically update? I get
MasterResetRequest in the console, but because the map doesn't ever change
and maybe noone is connected, it doesn't update.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 autoupdate

[Rick Payton]

I was always under the impression that -autoupdate should be the LAST parameter 
on the command line. Also, under Linux, the -console switch isn't needed / 
used, because the "console" is the only option for Linux users. And finally, I 
thought -tickrate was removed for OB based games?

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 autoupdate

-autoupdate is in the wrong place for a start as it needs to do that action 
before loading any maps.  The map specified was also wrong (should be 
ctf_2fort) so nothing appears to happen after the server initialises.  You also 
need to tell SRCDS to run the admin console (for obvious reasons.) Example of 
correct script:

./srcds_run -console -game tf -autoupdate +ip
xx.xx.xxx.xx +port 27015 +maxplayers 10 -tickrate 100 +map ctf_2fort

Try that and see how it goes. No need to overload the script with superflous 
commands like "-net_queuesplits 0" or "-nobots" etc.  Get it working in basic 
form first, then try these extra commands later, one by one.

Hope this helps :)

Re: [hlds_linux] server available locallly?

[Rick Payton]

my understanding was that you could put steam in a directory off your
user directory, like so: /home/mauirixxx/srcds_ob and when you run the
"./steam -command update -game tf -dir ." command it would go on to
create /home/mauirixxx/srcds_ob/orangebox/tf - I had assumed that was
just the unwritten "standard" on how to run Linux based Source servers.

With the ../steam in srcds_run, when following the above "standard" then
a simple rcon quit will obviously exit the server, but force it to get
updated before starting up again, much like how it already does in
Counter-Strike Source.

If I'm doing it wrong, someone please tell me :P

Much mahalos for the quick response Milton!

I think a better option would be to specify a -steam option. The default
will be to look in the current directory still, but you can specify
where you keep your steam binary.

TF is a little different with regards to a default map. There are so
many more options and choices you really need to be making. I can put in
something to check if you have actually specified a map. But should
srcds_run throw you in a default map? What makes sense? I am all ears.

I will add the -steamverify to TF.

Re: [hlds_linux] server available locallly?

[Rick Payton]

what about changing line 80: STEAM="./steam" to: STEAM="../steam" as
well? Or will this be part of the -steamverify addition?

TF is a little different with regards to a default map. There are so
many more options and choices you really need to be making. I can put in
something to check if you have actually specified a map. But should
srcds_run throw you in a default map? What makes sense? I am all ears.

I will add the -steamverify to TF.

Re: [hlds_linux] Game Server Manager Needed - Hiring

[Rick Payton]

If it's part of your e-mail signature - why not? But yes, a direct
advertisement for SELLING goods I would not want to see in the list. A
guy looking to hire an experienced game server "admin" or whatever you
want to call it from this list I don't see the problem. Besides, if he
does actually hire someone off this list, you KNOW that hired person is
going to stay reading the list, and asking for help in the future, or
commenting, or bitching about something like we all do from time to
time.

Besides, what BETTER place is there then a game server administrator
participating mailing list to post a job opportunity RELATED to 
running game servers?

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Spray Files

[Rick Payton]

There's used to be plugins that would do this very functionality - check
sourcemod for srcds, and amx mod for hlds for the relevant plugins. I
remember there was one that would give you the option to ban the player
responsible for the spray as well - good for the sick fucks that would
spray child porn :/

Hey hlds_linux,

Im trying to find out how the files on the downloads directory (IE, the
sprays) are connected to the players that uploaded them.  Is there a way
to
find out the userid, ip, or steamid of the player that uploaded the
file? I
looked on the Valve developer wiki and didnt get any good results.  I'm
really not sure where to ask this question, so linux server admins seems
a
reasonable place to ask.

Re: [hlds_linux] Very unstable FPS in hlds

It might actually be a newer dual core P4, I got a 3.0GHz dual core model here 
at work ...

That looks like P4 with Hyperthreading on it, not actual dual core cpu. 
What does cat /proc/cpuinfo say?

Re: [hlds_linux] srcds virtualized

[Rick Payton]

ahh beat me to it. Linux DOES run paravirtualized under ESXi (both 3.5
and 4.0). I ran multiple CS, CSS, TF2 and L4D servers under ESXi 3.5 on
a PowerEdge 2950 (dual quad core 2.0GHz Xeons & 16GB of ram) with NO
issues, other then a crap Hawaii internet connection :P I don't have any
numbers to back it up either, but I played the hell out of all those
games on there with clanmates and family members for over a year ... no
complaints. On the other hand, I wasn't trying to run 1000hz kernels or
anything super-high performance wise (the CSS server did run 18 bots on
one side in a seperate VM, alongside 3 L4D servers and a TF2 server in
another VM - I had to seperate the bot server, but then who normally
runs 18 bots? :P)

My $0.02 ... too.

We're running 4 SRCDS instances off a paravirtualized 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 
kernel on VMware ESX 3.5 -- works fine. You might need to upgrade to a 
recent kernel to get VMI working properly though!

You can also assign CPU cores, just like under Xen.

Just my $0.02 ;-)

An admin guide (as found in other programs), or full documentation on

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D / SRCDS Linux - Memory leak.

I think there's a "cron" sourcemod plugin, that I assume could be used to just

that's what he's referring to.

Re: [hlds_linux] server.dll update today?

[Rick Payton]

It looks like I missed a small update to my linux servers, as someone
else in irc pointed out they already were up to content version 86.

And steam went down, so I can't update my lone windows server.

With as relatively silent the list has been the past 2 days, some people
may worry that the list is not getting to them (I assume here).

A simple "ping" e-mail merely tests the end users connection to the
list, proving to the OS that the list is still functioning, and that the
OS is still a part of said list.

Right after the TF2 update I was having problems with some of my Linux
servers where everyone would get disconnected after joining team or a
class.
Eventually, after restarting the server over and over, the problem goes
away and people can connect and play fine. I talked to octohd and
FLOOR_MASTER and they said they are getting the same problem.

Anyone else?

Yeah, hate to nitpick, but you should take the "CentOS 5.2" out of your subject

February 11, 2009 --- The recently announced Left 4 Dead Downloadable

charge.

Due for release this spring, the DLC for 2008's best-selling new game
property on the PC and Xbox 360, is dubbed the L4D Survival Pack and
introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two
complete campaigns for Versus Mode (Death Toll, Dead Air). A Critic's
Choice Edition of the game will be heading to retail stores this spring,
and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: 
Survival Pack.

Left 4 Dead is a survival action game from Valve that blends the social
entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and
Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in
single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of
games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 25 industry
awards from outlets around the world.

I pop in and out of the channel to ask the odd question here and there
in the hope that someone extremely more knowleagble than you (in fact
i'd go so far as to say i cannot seem to find one instance of you
providing an actual solution to anyone's problem on this list) can give
me a sensible, polite answer - and i've been 'rescued' a number of times
by Neph and Richard. I see no point idling there all day when i simply
contribute more to questioning than answering. Hence, once i got the
answer, i'm outta there til the next time.

Re: [hlds_linux] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists

[Rick Payton]

I wouldn't mind seeing an official valve wiki, provided we get
"official" documentation alongside user added submissions. 

I tried to think of something pertinant to say about the forum / list
blah blah blah .. But the best I could come up with is I'm a
hlds/srcds/Valve fanboy :/ so where ever they move the information to,
I'll follow.

Yeah, I agree. I think there should be atleast a wiki on valve's site
(possibly to accompany the forums) if they are going to shut down the
mailing list. This would allow us to keep a documentation of (atleast
frequent) information in the mailing list. There is a talk section of
each article, so individual subjects can be talked about on it. We could
do a similar thing that I've seen on other wikis, where people can hold
discussions on a particular page just like a mailing list.

Re: [hlds_linux] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists

[Rick Payton]

Well according to the mailing list support page linked earlier in this
conversation, there's no longer any notice of it being shut down.

Who knows now. Maybe they'll still close on the 20th, and just re-add
the information that was removed?

I recently discovered this list while trying to figure out why trying to
install the Linux based server was so painful. The Valve forums were
useless to anyone experienced at running servers on Linux in general,
but new to steam / srcds.

Given the near total lack of useful, complete, and current documentation
from Valve for their Source dedicated server, and now the further
reduction of technical support, I guess that since I am not paid to run
a srcds, I won't bother.

Given the dismal support from Valve on supporting their customers
running dedicated servers, it isn't worth my time to try to run a public
or private server for Valve customers.

Too bad.

There is an IRC channel that's been fairly active for awhile now, on gamesurge 
at least. It's not official from Valve, but there's definitely some 
knowledgable people in there that will answer just about any question quickly. 
You may get a side order of sarcasm with the valid answer, but it's done out of

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds_linux wiki?

If only serverwiki.org wasn't down for the count.

I think someone registered a server-wiki.com or something like that. Here we 
go, http://serverwiki.info/wiki/Main_Page

I have no idea who the owner is, and there isn't nearly as much information on 
there as the original serverwiki.org had (can someone find out if Daitengu from 
United Admins died or is in prison?), it's already got a start. I guess another 
wiki wouldn't hurt though.

Have a look at my script again. It DOES take care of files still being
written.
I am using fuser to accomplish this. If the demo file isn't finished, it
will still have a process owning it, which fuser can detect. My script
only move the files without any owner, thus leaving the unfinished
recording behind.

I think I can help you there. I made exactly that kind of script, which
is executed regularly by a cronjob. I have the file here:

/etc/cron.hourly/publishtfdemos

And it contains this:


#!/bin/sh

for f in /home/tfserver/srcds/orangebox/tf/auto*.dem;do fuser
"$f">/dev/null 2>&1 || mv -f "$f" 
/var/www/html/tf2/demos/ >/dev/null 2>&1;done

for f in /var/www/html/tf2/demos/*.dem;do zip -m -j -9 "$f".zip "$f"
>/dev/null 2>&1;done

exit 0



Each block of lines above should be on one line in the file (darned
line-wrap). Adjust the paths to suit your installation.

Re: [hlds_linux] voice comms audio recording?

[Rick Payton]

Yeah I looked at that. It's not so much the spam I'm trying to curb, it's the 
racial slurs that I disallow on my servers. Text chat is easy - but what 
monitors voice comms? I know having multiple admins that actively enforce that 
policy will help, but much like having demo's of "cheaters" I'd like to have an 
audio record of what was spoken on my servers. 

I guess the only real solution at this point would be to disable voice comms .. 
And piss off a whole lot of players. And I don't want to go there yet.

I know I can record demo's, I should've been clearer though. This is for when 
I'm not around, and people complain of mic spammers, or someone just being 
racists overall. That way I'll have some kind of proof I can back up the ban

[hlds_linux] voice comms audio recording?

[Rick Payton]

I know this may not be possible but I need to ask anyways. I'm looking
for something to record the voice coms - server side - for later review.
I have the text chat covered, between HLstatsX CE and bl4nk/Nephyrin
chat logger, it's covered very well.

 

I know with today's hardware capturing the voice stream and encoding it
to mp3 (or whatever the format of the day is now .. ogg?) is pretty much
a non issue - even hard dirve space is ALMOST a non issue. So has anyone
done anything like this yet?

The CVAR will log attacking IPs to a file (addons/daf/log.txt).

I totally understand where you're coming from AFAdmin, and you're
obviously totally justified too, but on the other hand, Tony has been on
this list for quite some time now. I highly doubt he would release a
plugin that would mess with other peoples servers. It's just one admin,
trying help many other admins.

Re: [hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.

[Rick Payton]

In my california based cs source server, the following is the content of
my motd.txt file:

http://www.google.com/ 

Well it was before I changed it back to the stock motd.txt. I tried
doing that on my local server here, and the motd.txt just showed me the
textual link I typed in, instead of the homepage, like it's supposed to.

Re-installing server in a new VM to see what got funky.

I just tested it on a different game server (one based in cali, instead

it's definitely something screwy on my box ... Time to go vanilla and
see what happens.

Oh well.

[hlds_linux] Motd.txt - website redirect woes.

[Rick Payton]

I thought you could put just one line in the motd.txt file like so:

http://www.example.com/

And have that website show up for joining clients? I know this USED to
work, as I used to run a Windows based server 2-3 years ago with this
setup. But that was Windows, and 2-3 years ago.

When I do that, all I get is a motd window with that text. If I edit the
original motd.txt, it renders properly, but I'm limited to the 1500 byte
max. I found on counterwiki a proper html way to redirect web pages
using the meta refresh, but when I use that, instead of rendering the
html, it just shows it as plain text.

Did something change, or did I do something wrong? I'm running
source/meta mods, but no plugins that would effect the motd, under cento
5.2 (32 bit).

Help?

Hi,

After reading up on the list yesterday I saw that there have been a couple
of threads regarding how to operate screen.

So yesterday evening I wrote down a simple guide on screen and included
multiuser support.

Re: [hlds_linux] Problems with DoD:Source

[Rick Payton]

I don't have DOD:S to test it with, but I threw a dods on my VM if you want to 
take a look for yourself. This being a plane vanilla dod:s server with NO 
addons.

Here's the output of the startup:

Here's a status command:

---

This being on a 32-bit CentOS 5.2 install. I only have 1 wood directory, 
specifically it's dod/materials/wood (all lowercase).

This being installed from your posted install line below. IP is 
157.238.213.185:27019 so you can see for yourself (again, I don't own DODS, so 
I can't check).

Hope this helps.

[hlds_linux] rate limiting L4D servers?

[Rick Payton]

I noticed in the "status" command in the L4d server, we now have a
"rate" view, some clients are showing 3 and others are showing 25000
- is this the actual rate that the server is sending out, and if so, is
there any way to control it? sv_maxrate responds with "0" (default
setting) but manually setting sv_maxrate to 1 or whatever doesn't
change the status output - and from watching both Cacti and MRTG I'm not
seeig any real slowdown in traffic either.

 

Also, will we be seeing the "rate" in the status command for other
source servers?

I used HLSW to ban one guy already trying to guess the rcon password, so
I guess banning is business as usual. If you look in the cvar list, the

I think the main purpose of specifying them is to make sure they don't

Make sure on the telnet port you connect to, hit enter once, then PASS
 (no brackets)..

I have to hit enter once I connect, then from there enter PASS (caps
sensitive for me it seems), then password, then enter and it works.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] L4D dedicated server config guide

[Rick Payton]

It works. :P

The old command line I copy / pasted had netconport 9000+## - which
didn't seem to do anything. After I re-read Chris Green's e-mail, I
changed it to match his standard, and "telnet localhost 9001" works a
treat now.

Now to figure out how to broadcast messages, or do those not show up in
the console (when watching via HLSW)?

Check my response at the steam forums.

I just changed my command line, and someone e-mailed me off list to
confirm the / shouldn't be there.

Here's my startup script now, with 4 forks. I can't seem to get telnet
to work though, but HLSW works a treat.

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Left 4 Dead Forked Server Instances"
sleep 1

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] L4D dedicated server config guide

Well I fired up 4 forked servers (5 didn't seem to take, gotta debug
that some). All 4 have players on it right now, one of which turned into
an 8 player server ... but the server##.cfg files didn't get read.

Command line used:

./srcds_run -console -game left4dead +ip 157.238.213.185 -netconport
9000+## -netconpassword 12345 +hostport 27020+## -steamport 27960+##

I noticed that as well.

That command was actually posted by valve.. although I suspect is may be
a
typo.

I haven't had a chance to test out server forking with per server
configs
yet.

Let me know if you get a chance to test and I'll adjust accordingly.

Here is the original post by valve.

-quote
./srcds_run \
-game left4dead \

-steamport 27690+##\
+hostname My_L4D_Server_##\
+sv_tags reservable\
+exec server/##.cfg\
+map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment\
-fork 40

I think what Chris forgot to mention was that the ## syntax can be used
in an
expression. So here rather than just substituting the instance number
in,
I am using
it to add the value to an existing number.

Someone asked about why -exec ##.cfg didn't work. I would suggest using
+exec ##.cfg
instead. This is the format I am using and this appears to function
correctly. Also,
make sure that your files are zero padded to two digits (i.e 01, 02,
etc...).

I also had to do a lot of shuffling around of port numbers to allow 40
server
instances to run correctly. This is because many of the default port
numbers are too
close to one another to support more than about 5-10 servers. The ports
you need to
worry about are:

-netconport
-steamport
+clientport
+hostport
+tv_port
+matchmakingport
+systemlinkport

I control the first two from the command line since they are not
convars,
the rest I
put into my config files. Just space the port nunbers apart so there is
a
gap larger
than the number of dedicated servers you intend to run on the same box.

Re: [hlds_linux] The better way to start hlds as daemon

[Rick Payton]

I always understood root access to be user:root, and the root console to
literally be keyboard attached to computer viewing output via monitor.

I'm still new to linux myself (3 years and still learning!) though, so
I'm probably wrong.

Just out of curiosity, if you have access to the root console, is that 
the same thing as having root access?

 reattach to the console.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I
 could get around this problem?

 These are the relevant lines from my startup script:

 server_command="screen -A -m -d -S $game ./$game"_run" -tos -game
$mod
 +map `cat ./$mod/starting_map` +maxplayers $server_size -heapsize

 It may look a bit complicated, but I think the variable names make

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] HLDS L4D, 2 full versions?

[Rick Payton]

Quick question, but first some background:

I made 3 directories, hlds_l, srcds_l, and srcds_ob, and installed CS
v1.6, CS Source, and TF2 in each respective directories. When L4D demo
got released, I installed it to srcds_l directory, not realizing it used
the OB engine. Since it uses the OB engine, should I move it to my
srcds_ob directory, or is it safe in my srcds_l directory, or should I
just make a new directory for l4d stuff once the full server gets
released?

Yesterday we started the preload L4D on Steam.  For dedicated servers,
you can also "preload" most of the content for a server by running
hldsupdatetool and using the game parameter "l4d_full".  You will not be
able to run a dedicated server until sometime before the official
release though.  There will also be at least a 300 MB update on Monday,
since we have not made the maps available for dedicated servers yet.

Once the full game is live, we'll also switch the game parameter to be
"left4dead", as that is currently in use for the Demo.

For the dedicated servers I am running for the XBoxes I don't use
screen. Since we have the netcon port, there is no real need for a TTY
console. So I just wrap srcds_i486 with a small Expect script to log the
output of the console to a file. Then I just start up srcds_run with a
