[hlds_linux] gkrellm plugin
Hello fellow admins and gkrellm2 users. I have written a plugin gkrellm2 that displays basic server information in a small form factor panel. This plugin is dubbed "gkrellm2hldsquery". Unlike Matt Judge's plugin, this plugin does not rely on qstat (www.qstat.org). This plugin natively implements non blocking datagram sockets that directly queries the server. As a result, the current version ONLY works for game server running hlds (tested with Steam 1.6 servers). Current features: displays server name, current map, number of players/max players, VAC status. I've only tested on my local machine (stock Slackware 10.0). Please let me know what you all think. Source and binary included. Easy to compile (at least it was for me). See included README (don't worry it is very short). http://sweb.uky.edu/~khkwan0/uploads/gkrellmhldsquery.tar.bz2 -or- http://sweb.uky.edu/~khkwan0/uploads/gkrellmhldsquery.tar.gz ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
[hlds_linux] High pings?
So I JUST updated my source server. I have 2 server processes running on the same machine, ./hlds_run (CS 1.6) and ./srcds_run (CS:S). It's a 3Ghz machine with 512Mb. I have noticed my pings under 1.6 (running with -pingboost 1) are normal (<100 ms average). BUT, When I had some players test out the updated Source server, their pings were consistently >350 ms never dropping below 300. Anyone else notice this? Also something to note, both servers are 22 player servers. The 1.6 server at the time only had 14/22 connected and the source server had 2/22 connected. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] Memory Leak - Part III - *No Metamod*
Jeremy Brooking wrote: CS1.6 _NO_ metamod, nothing other than a standard install, 1 32player server, 1gig of ram, and within 3 days HLDS gets to the point it crashes due to being out of memory. Ahh yes...finally...someone who has completely used up memory. Knowing this, the coders for hlds has a better clue of finding the "needle in the haystack". Have you debugged code before? Knowing the behavior of memory over periods of time will help track down where these bugs are. Especially in a code base as large as hlds. Look, to help track down this problem, the rate of memory usage has to be tracked. A lot finer than a day's resolution. Bytes per minute used would probably be good enough to help pinpoint where in the allocation this is happening. As this will be telling the coders WHAT (probably some sort of struct) is being allocated that is causing the memory leak? Follow so far? Regardless, a post earlier in this thread indicated that it MIGHT not be in the server binary itself, but in the glibc library. If that is the case, we should be barking up GNU's alley. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] Memory Leak - Part III - *No Metamod*
I have the same problems with my 1.6 servers. However, I have not ran the server without metamod. Are we sure it is a memory leak? Is it possible that hlds does allocate memory and uses it as some sort of cache? I would suggest, running hlds without metamod until you run out of main memory and see what happens. IF the case is that the allocated memory is being used for caching purposes (like map information), it shouldn't be a problem IF the coders of hlds ensure that the game engine code stays in main memory. A way to confirm this would be to allow hlds to use up all your memory and let it start hitting swap. Once you know it is hitting swap, check to see what the latency becomes for all players in the server, if the server keeps the same latency, then it isn't a problem (until you run out of swap) for game play. But, if everyone's ping skyrockets once your hitting the swap partition, then that means the the net code/engine code and/or the engine/net code data is being swapped, which is definitely a memory leak and should be fixed.

It's produced when you fire with a sniper rifle and switch to any other weapon and back again. This has to be very quickly, so it's most likely it's while the fire (+attack) is still being triggered. Not completely true, this bug has happened to me a few times with the same error message. I was not using a sniper rifle. Not had I switched from one. I was using an AK. Also, I believe the seg fault is only client side. I only play on my server and I have NOT updated my server.
