Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 server multi-threaded support

[f7 f0rkz]

Kyle,

Couldn't agree with you more.  Its 2010 and CPU speeds aren't going to be
any faster.  The CPU manufacturers are creating low cpu speeds with high
threaded cores.  Its about time we get a better server suite if TF is going
to be continually bloated like it is.

I am bumping this thread.  This needs to happen.  The game is getting bigger
and bigger and the engine hasn't shown for the growth.

32 man servers are running like shit even if you have a great server.

Now if we could only get multi-threaded server software.  Those CPU cores
aren't getting any faster, in fact they are getting slower!

Re: [hlds_linux] IPv6 Support

[f0rkz]

I can tell you now, that it will be a nightmare like any mass forced
changes on internet superstructure.

Most companies don't have the infrastructure to run IPv6 unless they
spend several thousands of dollars upgrading their routing
infrastructure.

Not to mention all of the open source packages lacking support for
IPv6...

I for one do not welcome the change.

Pretty sure you cant.  And if they did install it without the Orange Box

Re: [hlds_linux] monitoring + email servers?

[f0rkz]

How savvy are you with perl?

There is an rcon perl module that you can use to query 'status' on the
server.  If it fails to return the server's status, have it shoot an
email alert via sendmail.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like a prickly spider web to me.  Why do you need UserX and
UserY, why not just have a user that writes and runs.

Moved it to another box.  Hasn't crashed yet.  Maybe the hardware on the

I think it -may- be someone trying to brute force ssh.  I changed the port,
lets see if that keeps it at bay.

I'm going to continue to monitor it tho.

[hlds_linux] Team Fortress 2 | Random server crashes

[f7 f0rkz]

For the past week or so one of our 32 player servers has randomly dropped
all connections.  During the outage, the server console locks up.  We run
the server in screen, but I do not believe this to be the issue.

Is anyone else having trouble with their server randomly locking up?

What is even weirder is the server restarts itself.  Its like it just
magically resumes operation.

One thing I thought it could be is DNS resolvers because this has happened
in the past where the host was reloading bind to add zones and the server
locks up.  I checked my resolv.conf and I am using google's opendns
resolvers as well as bind on the local box.  In case bind is the issue on
the local box I removed it from resolv.conf.

Just want to know if anyone else is having this issue.

Here is what I did to get it working for all of you that also want this.

On debian:

apt-get update; apt-get install libexpect-perl
cd /path/to/your/l4d/install
su - gameserver-user
cd bin
vi logger
Copy/Paste the following:=

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Expect;
use File::Basename;
use File::Path;
use strict;

my $log_file = shift @ARGV;
my $log_dir = dirname($log_file);
mkpath($log_dir) unless -d $log_dir;

my $expect = new Expect;
$expect->log_file($log_file);
$expect->spawn(@ARGV);
$expect->expect(undef);
exit($?);

=CUT=

:wq <-write and quit

chmod +x logger

Add the following to your startup line: -consolelog mylogname.log

Start up the server.  You'll see the logfile in the srcds_run directory.

Enjoy!

Milton,

Thanks for the script.  Was about to ask how l4d and l4d2 logged.

I'll test it out now.

Re: [hlds_linux] Logging console output

I tried using that but it just logged the output of: "Console
initialized."

Does it log further than that after the server is running?

[hlds_linux] Logging console output

[f0rkz]

Ok.  I know there is logging built into games using the Log on cvar.
What I need is the actual contents of the console captured to a log
file.  I noticed srcds_run is a shell script that execs another program
so redirecting the output to a log file isn't possible.  Does anyone
have any tricks or scripts to log the output of srcds_run and any of the
exec'd programs under it?

Thanks for your help,

Are you talking about having some 600+ servers in your steam group

If so, I think that is a bug with the system right now.

[hlds_linux] TF2 server multi-threaded support

[f0rkz]

I know that I have at least brought this to the list's attention once.

Does anyone have any information on if/when TF2 will start utilizing
multi-threaded/multi-core processing? CPUs are going down in speed and
up in cores lately.  If you want anything decent (3.0GHZ+) you are
paying for it.

Left4Dead/Left4Dead2 runs like a champ and can have 100+ threads running
without a problem.  We need this for TF2 as well...

We currently balance two tf2 servers on two separate 2.0GHZ cores which
is working for now but that chokes us there.  It would be nice to be
able to run these spread out over the two cores.

Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate broken, script instead?

[f0rkz]

Well you could create a bash script to run a kill of your hlds_linux
process, then run an update, then run the startup.  Should be pretty
simple actually.  Make sure you run everything in screen though!

You can contact me privately if you would like help on the scripting.

You can use cron to run a bash script at 4:00 am.

Let me know if you don't know how to do that, and I'll explain more.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 FPS rate

L4D2 and L4D are a totally different beast from older valve games.  The
FPS, tickrate, and rates pretty much manage themselves (thank god).

Nothing to worry about.  30 is normal.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_password l4dead2

[f0rkz]

I don't think sv_password works at all right now.  It actually drops it
from outside querys (eg: hlsw).

Your best bet right now is making a private steam community for your
server and invite the peeps that you want playing on it to that
community.  Then make the server exclusive to that steam community.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Multicore server support

[f0rkz]

Good to know about the spreading.  Multicore server support would help
for those of us with dual Xeon dual core hyper-threaded CPUs.

Now, l4d on the other hand supports multicore like a champ.  That is why
we can run forks of 100+ l4d servers.  Just not TF2 yet...this will
drastically help the performance of 32 slot servers.

[hlds_linux] TF2 Multicore server support

[f0rkz]

Does anyone know if muti-threading/multi-core servers is on the horizon?
I know we can pile l4d servers on a server all day long, but when it
comes to TF we have to be particularly careful for CPU load.

Also, does linux natively distribute processes between cores when it
launches new processes? mpstat always shows cpu usage spread evenly with
TF running, which is kind of confusing.  Any information would help.

Internet petitions do nothing.  Even if they did, you all would bitch

Really, all of this is neither here nor there.  Go take it to the MW2
forums if you want to complain about how the game is badly designed.
Chances are, they have heard it all and have no intentions of changing

Re: [hlds_linux] Linux is not able to start

[f7 f0rkz]

The error says exactly what is wrong.

./srcds_linux: error while loading shared
libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

You need to install a newer version of libstdc++

What distro is this?  If its debian try this:

apt-get update
apt-get install libstdc++6 libstdc++6-dev

If its centos... welp, im sure there is something to do with yum...

That should get you rolling.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_region fixed in L4D?

This is not fixed.  Re-set our sv_region yesterday.  Lobbies could connect
to the servers, but our steam community servers would not show up for
people.

[hlds_linux] L4D Community list servers slow

[f7 f0rkz]

I think after setting sv_region to default, the community lists have slowed
down substantially.

I also noticed our banners are not showing up in game.  Anyone having
problems with it?

Disable your plugins and see if the servers stay up.  If they do, there is
where you start.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D forks keep crashing

You are getting the same segfaults?  What version of glibc are you running?
2.7-18 on debian lenny here.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4d crashes

[f7 f0rkz]

Still having forks go defunct.  Anyone figure out whats causing this?
Valve, is this a bug?
Thought maybe glibc 2.7-18 that is currently latest on lenny is causing
issues.

Is everyone here running debian lenny?

This is still an issue.  We are definitely randomly crashing.  Anyone see
dmesg on their servers? I found some interesting segfaults:

Re: [hlds_linux] Again VAC lag spikes?

[f0rkz]

Could be an easy job for tcpdump to get the VAC ip addresses... At  
least from there you could see a traceroute.

Re: [hlds_linux] Again VAC lag spikes?

[f0rkz]

Yes, this would help tremendously... I am having a feeling there may  
be something wrong with a carrier around the datacenter for the VAC  
servers, thus is why valve hasn't fixed it yet.  Face it, they  
wouldn't leave you guys in the dark this long.

Re: [hlds_linux] Again VAC lag spikes?

Do they have VAC servers in europe? I am not sure myself.  Could be  
lag between transatlantic transfer...  Is your region set up to your  
local area?

Can't really tell without any sort of traceroute...

Are you doing any type of DNS work when these happen?

[hlds_linux] Lan games have steam ID enabled?

[f0rkz]

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a good Memorial Day.

Has anyone ran a larger scale lan recently? I was testing a lan server  
with my little brother and it seemed our steam ids were working,  
unlockables were working, and everything in the world was peachy.  I  
also noticed sv_lan was set to 1.  Now the question remains, is this  
only for listen servers? Will the steam IDs stop working if I run a  
dedicated server with lan settings?

Thanks for the input, happy fragging!

Re: [hlds_linux] FreeBSD FPS = HZ / 2

[f0rkz]

Well, you certainly get some CPU overhead emulating linux programs.   
What I would suggest, is using something like the latest version of  
ubuntu server.  The built in kernel has a tickless environment.

Re: [hlds_linux] Killing Floor Linux Dedicated Server available

[f0rkz]

Does anyone have issues with the server sticking at the end of a map  
or "your squad is dead" screen? Seems that the map doesn't change.

Thanks!

Could someone post their entire KillingFloor.ini file?  The linux

Also looks like when the team dies, the map just sits at a game ended

Re: [hlds_linux] Killing Floor Linux Dedicated Server available

[f0rkz]

You have to set it in your launch params.

Here is a bash script to help you out.  Throw it in the root of your  
server's directory:

Script: launch.sh


#Server start vars
vac="true"
slots="6"
adminuser="WEBUSERHERE"
adminpass="WEBPASSWORDHERE"

echo "Starting server..."

cd system/

./ucc-bin server KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecure= 
$vac?MaxPlayers=$slots?AdminName=$adminuser?AdminPassword=$adminpass   
#THIS IS ONE LINE.  NOT SURE IF MY EMAIL SCREWS THIS UP

Re: [hlds_linux] 'stats' cpu load

[f0rkz]

There is a perl library that can run rcon on a server.

http://www.gruntle.org/projects/hl2/Rcon-HL2-0.05.tar.gz

I use this small script to get info from a server.

=
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Rcon::HL2;

my $command = shift @ARGV; # bring in the title from argv

my $rcon = Rcon::HL2->new(
  hostname => "XX.XX.XX.XX",
  password => "rconpasshere",
);

$rcon->run("$command");
print $rcon->response();
=
For instance:
$ perl rcon.pl stats
0CPU   InOut   Uptime  Users   FPSPlayers
  0.00  0.00  0.003976 8  124.35   0

This can be easily greped and parsed.

Will this enable use of steam ids?  The problem we were running into  
was every client sharing the same default lan steam id.

Re: [hlds_linux] LAN game with steam IDs enabled

[f0rkz]

ES is pretty awesome, but we are not doing stats tracking in ES for  
the lan party.  We are going to have an ES server there though!   
Mainly wanting to track stats in TF2 and L4D.  Trying to avoid a  
rewrite to track by IP address since DHCP may change an IP.  Any  
insight would be awesome :D

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Server Performance after Update

Ive noticed some performance hits as well.  Network latency has been  
normal, but users see stuttering similar to what users would see if  
cpu usage is maxed out.  After watching top for a little while,  
instances were spiking CPU usage over 125% and dropping back to 25%

[hlds_linux] LAN game with steam IDs enabled

[f0rkz]

I know I've asked this before, but I don't think I really got a  
definitive answer for it.

Is there a way to have a lan accessible only game, but still enable  
clients access to their steam id?

I heard through the grape vine that it may be possible using - 
nomaster, but I just wanted to know if this is -nomaster with sv_lan  
set to 0 or sv_lan set to 1.

Also, if anyone has any other insight it would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [hlds_linux] 32 Slot Linux Server

You could also try a dynamic tickless system.  It is supported in the  
latest version of debian's kernel.

[hlds_linux] Lan mode with Steam ID

[f0rkz]

Hello everyone.  Does anyone have information on how you would run a  
local LAN server but still give client's access to their steam ids.  I  
heard there may be a way to do it by switching the -nomaster flag.

Thanks!

You can flood anything with enough UDP.

Also, why would you want to spread this exe around even more?

Is it just sitting there again?

Just try running the steam binary:

./steam

See if it updates the installer.

Yeah, sure.

http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin

Simply:
cd /your/game/directory/

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin

Answer Yes to the license agreement.

Then run the update command I gave you below.
