Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 - Connection lost to item server - what ports to whitelist?

[Zaretti Steve]

Yes i'm using vac and TNF since July so, my rules are set, forgot exactly why :)

2013/9/30 Marco Padovan e...@evcz.tk:
 you run those in the OVH network firewall (vac?)

 The issue we are experiencing is exactly there, I did not had rules for
 26900 - 26999, the rest was similar to yours (I also opened listening
 client port)

 so maybe the curlprint is those 26900 random ports that the server uses to
 listen on... will give a try then.

 Thank you

Re: [hlds_linux] Add something to the game so that server ops can ban HWID too.

[Zaretti Steve]

There is some trick, like ip fail-over...
 I've got the same IP since 5 years, and changed hardware/server a
douzen of time...

 This said, with the rise of IPv6... I hope dns will be supported.
 IPv6 seems glitchy for basic user... dns will help.

 But this is my opinion.



2013/8/25 ics i...@ics-base.net:
 Having DNS to favorites is being suggested over past 8 years quite few times
 and only thing even near that is TF2's server registration which will tie
 the server reputation to the steam account, so changing ip does not lose the
 reputation your server has gotten (which in it's own way affects quickplay).

 -ics

 [#OMEGA] - K2 kirjoitti:

 They should just add a server variable containing the dns which server
 owners can set.
 Then if people add the server though favourites and such cvar is set, it
 automatically gets added with the DNS entry instead of the IP. Plus adding
 servers manually also stores the DNS entry instead of resolved IP Address.

 This would be a non intrusive change and should work fine.

 About finding servers easy, use sv_tags. You can search on tags, so in our
 case they search for lz and find all our servers in the browsers easily.

 Given, I've mentioned the whole dns entry I think 2 or 3 years ago. People
 suggested multiple solutions, all great but none of them ever made it.
 Would be easy if you register your server, to add an extra entry called
 host or something which gets stored at valve's place. (I think we can
 all cope with not storing the port too)

 We also use subdomains, but that’s hardly used by anyone.  Most people
 either search on the tag or come random.

 That is not what they mean. They mean that the client saves it by DNS name
 like

 srv1.community.xxx:27015
 srv1.community.xxx:27020
 srv2.community.xxx:27015
 etc
 instead that that gets resolved to IP, and then saved as a IP:port in the
 server list. They want the clients to save it by URL:port, so moving to a
 new hardware server won't lose their players.

 I rather see that comm's can add servers by IP to their Steam group, and
 that those get into a tab in the steam browser for easy finding their
 servers.

 Let the client be able to enable or disable this (choose default
 opt-in/opt-out, then per group in or out), so ppl with a huge list of
 groups can opt out default, and include only a few groups, and ppl who
 have few groups can opt in and exclude a few groups.

 Server owners can easily update the list of servers, Valve can verify
 quite easily on their backend if its really a server, and it solves all
 problems with saving servers in the favorites, for they can go to that
 tab, favorite all they want, and get on.

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike Dedicated Server, on CentOS 5.9 = GLIBCXX_3.4.15, etc.

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

Are you using the new hlds_run?  I notice the Using Pentium II Optimized
binary line, which isn't in the new hlds_run.

hlds is bundled with libstdc++ anyway, so long as it is being executed with
proper environment variables (eg: from hlds_run), then it should pick it up.

Anyway, even if you get past this it probably work anyway.  CentOS is the
worst and bundles crazy old libraries with it, so your glibc may not be a
high enough version.  This new hlds update drastically bumped the required
glibc version.  We had to update all of our CentOS 5.x machines to
6.whatever is the newest now (6.3 i think) just to get it to work.

 Got past the issues of SteamCMD asking for libstdc++.so.6
 (GLIBCXX_3.4.10) by the loading-fedora-library-on-CentOS hack.
 That allowed me to use SteamCMD to install HL1 and get a dedicated server
 for that up and running again.
 It also allowed me to use SteamCMD to install a Counter-Strike (1.6ish)
 dedicated server, but it won't start.

 Counter-Strike itself is now complaining about an even newer library
 required (output further below).
 I tried some other newer (fedora) libraries that included GLIBCXX_3.4.15
 - but that work-around didn't help.
 It just started throwing a different error saying that lib was not for
 this OS.
 So, I guess I've taken that work-around about as far as it goes.
 Can host HL1 dedicated server right now, but not CS.  :-(

 Maybe these libs should be shipping with HLDS - depending on the distro?

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 beta server update

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

engine_i486.so (and potentially the others), are linked against GLIBC 2.7,
while all of the other games require lower versions (eg: csgo's engine.so
seems to require 2.3).  Can anything be done to bring this more in line
with the other games?

Re: [hlds_linux] Next TF update may break linux plugins

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

Thanks for the warning.  The binary files being renamed is easy enough to
work around, but apparently the symbols are also stripped out of them.  Any
chance this can be reversed for the server binaries?  Converting to
signatures and maintaining them would be a huge hassle.

Thanks.

 A word of warning concerning the next TF update.  Many of the Linux
 binaries for the dedicated server will be renamed.

 For example:

 bin/datacache_srv.so
 bin/dedicated_srv.so
 bin/engine_srv.so
 bin/libtier0_srv.so
 bin/libvstdlib_srv.so
 bin/materialsystem_srv.so
 bin/replay_srv.so

 bin/shaderapiempty_srv.so
 bin/soundemittersystem_srv.so
 bin/studiorender_srv.so
 bin/vphysics_srv.so
 tf/bin/server_srv.so

 If you have any scripts or plugins that depend on particular filenames,
 this could break them.

 Also, the update will contain a large number of changes to low level
 libraries such as tier0_srv.so.

 The most recent TF beta was shipped with the renamed binaries and with
 these changes and can be used to test any scripts or plugins.

 We highly recommend that plugin developers test their plugins against the
 current TF beta.

 Thank you,

 Did you try to:
 - exit steam
 - go to your steam folder
 - delete AppUpdateStats.blob
 - delete ClientRegistry.blob
 - start steam
 - Verify your Game Cache files
 - redo the point above this one.
 - and check again?

 If valve updates something, say skins of some models, steam/the game will
 auto delete those skins updated that are in the game folder (to let the
 game use the new stuff), but not the custom models (if those where not
 updated), which will most probably then causing these kinds of problems.

 And why are we talking client issues on a server list?

Right now I have 15 different VLANs on my network (15 separate

the LAN parties mostly.

Having my game servers sitting on 192.168.3.0/24 and having my guests on
(just citing one VLAN as an example) 192.168.6.0/24 makes it so that the
dedicated server does not show up in their LAN tab in game.

Running tcpdump -n broadcast isn't showing me anything on the game server
(hoping to forward the broadcasts via pfsense from one vlan to the others).
How can I assure that my source dedicated servers are viewable on the LAN
tab for this network?

Thanks for any assistance,

Re: [hlds_linux] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin

[Steve Tomaszewski]

Why are you so worried about it taking screenshots? They said it can only
take shots of game footage.

I think this is a great idea and should not be patched. It's probably the
most indefinite proof that someone is cheating. And having their steam id
and everything would get them out of a community that would be better
without any cheaters. If you want to use hacks, stand up your own server and
pay for it then see how many people stay there.

Re: [hlds_linux] (ATTN: Valve) steam.inf missing and other incomplete update problems

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

I update 145 servers whenever there's a joint CS:S  TF2 update and I have
never once experienced this problem.

I do not use -verify_all because updates are slow enough.  The only fancy
thing I do is each machine will check the return value of the steam
executable and keep looping until it returns 0 since it likes to keep
aborting for no real reason.

On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 12:04 PM, PharaohsPaw listac...@lvwnet.com wrote:

 Although I've said much of this already I'm making a separate post in its
 own topic in hopes that Valve will give it some serious consideration, and
 more importantly, do something about it to fix the problem.  I am thankful
 that Valve staff does pay attention to this mailing list.

 The subject of this post is a problem that has been around for a long
 time.  I have been operating public gameservers off and on since 2006 and
 have seen this occur with some update releases pretty much since then.  I
 am not the first person to say this happens, and I am also pretty sure
 this is not the first time I had something to say about it here.

 In short, the problem is incomplete updates.  It seems that the
 (gamedir)/steam.inf file is the file most often left out of updates, but
 sometimes other updated or new files are involved.  Sometimes (apparently)
 files that an updated server will crash without are missed.

 SCOPE OF PROBLEM
 I should point out that I am specifically referring only to update
 scenarios where the updater for a particular gameserver tree initiates
 an update, pulls in files, AND RECEIVES A SUCCESSFUL HLDS Installation Is
 Up to Date MESSAGE FROM THAT MASTER AND THE STEAM BINARY RESPONSIBLE FOR
 UPDATING THE SERVER FILES EXITS WITH A 0 RETURN CODE when there are
 actually files missing and the server cannot run properly afterwards as a
 result.

 The scenario in question also involves NOT using -verify_all among the
 arguments passed to the steam binary to perform the update.

 Whether the server in question is just using srcds_run with -autoupdate
 among the command line arguments, or using nemrun or any other
 properly-written script isn't important.

 While it is possible to have incorrectly-written scripts to run and/or
 update our servers, that isn't what I'm talking about here.  Nemrun and
 other properly-written update scripts do not run ./steam -command update
 -game tf -dir . (or whatever) only once and ASSUME the update was
 successful.  We can't do that because it is fairly common to get a
 connection reset from whichever master we are pulling the update from
 before it is complete.  It has to check the return code from the steam
 binary doing the update, and if it isn't 0, you have to repeat until it IS
 0.

 Also, it needs to be understood by anyone at Valve investigating this
 problem that neither nemrun, nor any other script (including your own
 srcds_run with used with -autoupdate) that I'm talking about does anything
 more than call the steam binary with -command update.  Nemrun in
 updatedaemon mode may have its own implementation of checking in with
 steam to see if an update is needed, but it does comply with your
 protocols, and even when it does start an update, it only does it because
 your masters said a required update was available.  And it calls the same
 steam binary to do the actual updating that srcds_run does.

 Guess why the steam.inf file is so important?  This isn't specific to
 nemrun, by the way.  It tells the dedicated server which version to report
 to the steam masters.  So its contents (or existence) means everything to
 that dedicated server when it checks in with the masters.  You could be
 100% in sync with the latest dedicated server files, and edit steam.inf to
 show an older version, and the next time your server checks in with the
 masters it is going to tell you that you need to update.  And until your
 steam.inf file has the same patch level/version that the masters think is
 the latest required version, your server will keep telling you to restart
 for the latest update.  The same is true if the file isn't there at all.
 So it's not just nemrun that needs this file.  It needs it for the same
 reasons the gameserver itself does.

 The nemrun scripts are out there for Valve and anybody else to look at.
 Please look at them before you say nemrun is the problem.  It isn't.

 So what IS going on?  As far as I'm concerned we have a couple of
 different issues here:

 1. The steam binary can remove the existing steam.inf file while updating
 a server, even if it doesn't have an updated one to replace it with.

 2. The steam binary will exit with a 0 return code and claim that the HLDS
 Installation is Up To Date when the server hasn't been fully updated.

 Anyone seeing a pattern yet?

 STEAM BINARY

 Now, let's talk about distributing updates among your masters.  Here are a
 couple questions anyone thinking about this rationally should ask:

 1. Why does a master server tell you that an update is available if it
 doesn't 

Re: [hlds_linux] (ATTN: Valve) steam.inf missing and other incomplete update problems

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

Steve how do your servers update?

http://nephyrin.net/tools/nemrun/latest/

I took the srcdsupdatetool from Nemrun and run it via a crontab every 10
minutes on central server of mine, if it detects an update then it triggers
every one of my game server machines to run a steam update.  There is one
master copy of the game installs per machine, and when this copy finishes
updating successfully it's then copied over to all game servers on the
machine (1 game server per core for my setup, so some machines have 8
servers).

The entire system is automatically triggered, and I use a custom plugin set
that has as few hacks as possible to minimize breakage on updates.  It
works pretty well except for how painfully long some steam updates take to
download.  Hopefully that'll be addressed on Valve's end soon enough,
though.

 Hi Fletch,

 No, it's OK.  Thanks for responding.

 I do have to wonder if there is something I could, or SHOULD do
 differently.  With folks like Steve who posted a few replies back
 mentioning that he updates 145 servers and has never seen this problem
 before - and that he doesn't use -verify_all either, it does make me
 wonder what could possibly be wrong, or at least fatally different about
 what our setup does.

 The steam.inf file must update properly for some people, since Steve has
 never seen a problem (and he has a lot more servers being updated also).

 Steve how do your servers update?  Do you have -autoupdate on the command
 line?  Do they just update when the map changes, or are you doing
 something different such as one of the plugins that uses steamtools to
 handle the master request restart?

 I'd hate to imagine having to manually restart/update 145 servers. :)

 I'm also wondering if maybe what I should do is edit the nemrun script to
 put some kind of a delay in, so that when an update is detected (because
 srcupdatecheck returned a 7 code), it waits a little while before it
 actually begins the update process (calling steam to update the tree) --
 so that even though we detect an update being released really quickly
 after it hits, and knows it needs to start an update, it waits X number of
 seconds first - to try to give extra time for the files to be pushed to
 the masters before we start that update.  If the problem has anything to
 do with waiting long enough for the update files to be propagated to any
 master the steam binary is likely to hit to begin the update, this would
 probably help.

 Fletch is there any chance at all that the steam.inf file might just be
 one of the last files to get placed onto the masters when update files are
 loaded/replicated?  If so, then this could be another indicator that
 nemrun just needs to wait a little longer before it starts an autoupdate.

 Thanks,
 PharaohsPaw

Re: [hlds_linux] HLDS crash - dumps?

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

Aim maps are notoriously unstable for me, also running on Linux.  Any map
that manipulates a player's starting weapons or has a weapon_strip entity
in it will eventually cause a crash somewhere inside of CS's weapon
handling code, almost as though there's an invalid pointer inside of a
player's weapon pack or something.  I've tried everything to fix it, and
nothing helps so it's just something I live with now.

   possible to block this and stay in orangebox (old directory
 structure).
   This
   update screwed up all my servers, its crazy idea to change file
  location
   now!
  
   Does anyone have solution ?

Thanks for the update shortly before the cs:go presentation... to this
late european hour where almost all hosters are on nightwatch mode :D



- Server frame rate is now based on the tickrate of the active Source mod,
not the fps_max convar

- Fixed net_graph not updating server framerate when FPS is greater than
1000


I am just wondering about the framerate-cap based on the tickrate and
fixing
the netgraph if greater than 1000.isnt it just a contradiction?

Required updates for Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of
Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch are now available.
Counter-Strike: Source has also been moved to use its own engine and
dedicated server depots. Because of this, dedicated server files for
Counter-Strike: Source will now be under a 'css' folder.

The specific changes include:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)
- Fixed an issue with the multi-threaded renderer which could cause
a crash on map change
- Adjusted whitespace to improve formatting in status command output
- Changed stats output to show KB/s instead of bytes/sec, added a
connections column, and changed the users column to Map changes
- Fixed game servers not being able to execute the retry command due
to the dependence on the connect command (which is not executable by
game servers)
- Made sndplaydelay executable by servers
- Server frame rate is now based on the tickrate of the active
Source mod, not the fps_max convar
- Server processing delays have been reduced, especially for servers
on modern Linux kernels
- Entity processing logic has been optimized to significantly reduce
CPU usage on full servers
- Multi-threaded server code is now enabled by default under Linux
(already enabled on Windows)
- An exploit with non-printable characters causing lag on Windows
servers has been fixed
- CPU is fully yielded back to the system whenever the server is
running faster than the tickrate
- Dramatic increase in performance for low-level math libraries

Day of Defeat: Source
- Removed tickrate command line parameter
- Updated the localization files

Counter-Strike: Source
- Prevent AWP cycle time exploit using quick switch
- Fixed bug causing HUD History to display item pickups from nearby
players
- Increased sized of HUD History resource to prevent clipping
- Changed grenade damage so that it always hits HITGROUP_GENERIC and
takes into account armor for damage calculations
- Reduced standing and moving accuracy for pistols
- Decreased accuracy while moving with sniper rifles
- Added additional legacy mode (3) to cl_dynamiccrosshair
- Updated the localization files

Team Fortress 2
Manniversary:
- Experimenting with a new store interface with a subset of players
- Added several dozen community items in celebration of the
Manniversary
- Added loadout presets -- each class can now store four complete
loadouts, including weapons and cosmetic items, and change between
them with the press of a button.
- Added a new item type that can accept user-applied decals. Take
any image off your hard drive, put it on a stick, and then smash
people with it! (See the Decal Tool in the store!)
- Added new co-operative high five taunt
- Class select menu now shows the active loadout for each class
- Characters can now equip two misc-slot items at once
- Added a new in-game abuse-reporting system (see Capture abuse
report data under Miscellaneous controls)
- Non-newly-released weapons in the store can now be tried out for
free once per week! This will give you a fully-functional version of
the weapon to be used in-game for no cost. If you decide you like
it, you can purchase it for a discount during the trial period.
- All items purchased in the store can be used for crafting and can
be traded after a few days
- Added a new startup music track from Meet The Medic
- Integrated with the new Steam Workshop to enable the publication
and management of community contributed content

Maps:
- Added new community control point map Gullywash. Stamps are
available in the store to support community map authors!
- Barnblitz is now available for offline practice
- Frontier: various geometry fixes
- Gorge/5Gorge: added team-specific func_nobuild brushes in elevated
forward spawn areas

Replay:
- New camera shake functionality added for replays that are not
sufficiently dramatic
- New slow-motion functionality added for replays where even camera
shake does not provide sufficient drama
- Added support for recording voice chat into replays

Items:
- Pocket Medic can now be 

[hlds_linux] Demo primary and secondary weapons

[steve grout]

So what happened with the demo primary and secondary weapons not being 
able to be used unless they are strange?


had to reboot the server to sort it!

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike: Source Update Available

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

Detouring the call to CCSGameStats::UploadRoundStats(void) inside of
CCSGameStats::FireGameEvent(IGameEvent *) shows that it's still being called
even with that cvar set to 1, and blocking the call entirely fixes the lag
again.

 - Made stats reporting less verbose in an effort to reduce server

at round end

 - Added a server convar sv_noroundstats for server admin to turn
 off
stats reporting if the server is hitching at round end. This
shouldn't be necessary since the stats have been made less verbose.

 Please leave stats enabled unless you are seeing hitches. If you
 are
getting hitches at round end, I'd appreciate if you turn on
sv_debugroundstats and send me the console output after one of the
end-round hitches. If you aren't getting hitches anymore after the
update, well
   then,
I'd like to know that too.

 Thanks,

Re: [hlds_linux] Issue with the last orangebox update !

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

This is from the steam stats being uploaded in, what I assume is, a blocking
socket connection.  When I stop the function CCSGameStats::UploadRoundStats
from executing the lag goes away.  Note this is even with sv_nostats set to
1 (what's the point of that cvar?).

Unfortunately the system I use is custom and wouldn't be compatible with

Re: [hlds_linux] Team Fortress 2 Update Released

to be honest we shouldn't of updated our windows servers with this 
update as ever since we have had 4 crashes on one of our servers.  
Strange how all our other servers are working fine and they all have 
sourcemod installed however it's also the only one that failed on the 
update (just hung around for ages - 30 mins - on the update so killed 
the process ) then did a verify_all.


Just doing another verify_all, not that i hold out too much hope.  Sad 
thing is this server has been fully 90% of the time since the F2P was 
introduced, now it's sitting empty :(

[hlds_linux] Server Trend

[steve grout]

Our main community server has been almost constantly full since the 
matchmaking/F2P release so i would like to thank who ever thought up 
that idea at Valve..


now to the point.. Since registering our main community server our trend 
has always been 'good' standing Trend: slightly upwards.  It's been this 
way for weeks but today i noticed that our standing is still 'good' but 
the Trend is 'downwards fast'.  We've changed nothing on our server at 
all over this time and like i have mentioned it's been constantly full.


Anyone got any ideas as to why this might be?

Thanks for your time

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Trend

[steve grout]

thanks guys,

i know they said that they are still working on the system, i just 
wondered if i'd missed an email.


We are also getting our servers dropping off from the system but like 
you said Saint, a few kicks up the bum and they seem to re-join.


Thanks again all

Our main issue, servers dropping off the Quickplay system. Currently I have 5 
overloaded servers, and 2 sitting empty not being picked up by the Quickplay system. 
After several restarts and tries, it seems to rejoin the system and fills up in a matter 
of minutes.

Since the cvar was introduced, my 3 older servers have been downward fast and 
the new one has been slightly upward. Only if yours are empty, then there might 
be something wrong.

- Alkuperäinen viesti -

Some mails ago someone from valve wrote that they are still working on
the balance where to send the player when he is using matchmaking. So my
guess is they are still playing around and you get a worse rate than
before. Also they wrote that more valve server are up which are most
likely are   prefered over yours.

This and that many players just tried out tf2 and now turned their back
to it can be your reasons.

Re: [hlds_linux] Reserved Slots beyond 24 on a TF2 server

[steve grout]

We use a modified version of the built in soucrmod reserved slots system 
set so it doesn't kick people when an admin joins (29 slot server using 
sv_visiblemaxplayers 24) the only thing then is it will kick on map 
change to free up the reserved slots and also if everyone uses the 5 
reserved slots it becomes a 29 man server but it soon goes back to 24 
through people leaving.


Our servers are full almost all the time.

I never want to kick people playing just because a admin comes and joins..
i really hate that. (and did when i was a regular player, i actually didn't
go to that server anymore)

ofcourse with the massive amount of f2p players its a different story :)

i'm using this right now.
what it does is kicking a player when someone with the reserved flag (a)
joins. i considered this the most satisfying solution.

Well i actually have some servers at visible players 31, and its still
constantly full at 32.
(mind you, there are no admins on it) perhaps it lets player in via
/connect (could be my bad) that they know.

And i do see constantly people trying to join, as if matchmaking sends
new
clients but they get a error message that its full anyways then.

Hi All,

Due to the recent influx of players caused by Valve making TF2 F2P,
i've
started looking into reserving slots for our admins.

Technical info, server is running the latest SourceMod.

Anyway, I do not want to do something illegal and risk my server

banned,

but is it possible to extend the playercount to, for instance, 28,

and

still

only have 24 public slots visible?

So, when an admin joins, playercount will be 25, and pub players are

still

disallowed, then when someone leaves, we are at 24, and pubs are

still

disallowed, but the admin is then moved to a public slot.

Is this possible in any way?


Kind Regards,

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 ultra high cpu usage after the recent updates

[steve grout]

ok, so first off we're on windows so appologies :)

we have the same issue with high cpu usage, it also seems like the 
server has timed-out (the time out thing appears) when the server is 
doing the replay checks to see if it can delete. :(


although we are running on the last MM and SM snapshots so i'm not sure 
if that's anything to do with it.  Then again, would SM/MM affect the 
replay checks?

hey guys wonder if you could help (i have read the replay faq).

We had the replay system working along side the sourcetv system fine.. 
then it seems from last nights updates it doesn't work.  No i know some

Any help would be great

I think this is just a technical limitation due to the change to using Steam
for voice.
It used to be that the server just rebroadcast the voice data coming in from
the clients, and since demos are basically just saved network packets, the
voice data was stored. You could easily test this by turning off
sv_use_steam_voice for a bit and seeing if voice is in the reply recordings.
This is pretty much just guesswork based on what I know about the old voice
chat system and the new one, if I'm correct though it would mean that voice
isn't recorded into SourceTV recordings as of the hatless update either.

Re: [hlds_linux] CS:S dedicated server (linux) update release coming?

Have you tried a manual update?  Maybe your auto update system is failing...

On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 6:38 PM, PharaohsPaw listac...@lvwnet.com wrote:

 Hello,

 Per previous posts to list today from Valve, there is supposed to be a
 dedicated server update to CS:S coming out sometime today?  We saw the TF2
 update hit the servers but nothing so far for CS:S

 Reason I'm asking is because our servers (and basically all the others out
 there I've tried to connect to) haven't updated yet, servers are still
 reporting version 1.0.0.47.  Our servers will immediately apply the update
 as soon as valve releases it (thanks to nemrun) -- but the problem is our
 clients have already updated.  ie, the clients are up to 1.0.0.48 now, and
 none of the servers out there will let us join them (including our own)
 because they aren't up to date with our clients.

 So I guess what we really need is for that server update to come out...
 and also to disable the keep our game updated option in the game library..
 as this seems to be more trouble than good.

 Can't understand why client update is available before the server update...

Alfred posted about a beta to fix a remote exploit about a week ago.

We have released a beta update for Half-Life 1 Dedicated servers. To get
this beta run the hldsupdatetool with -beta hlbeta on the command line.

This beta fixes a crash exploit in the dedicated server caused by a
malicious client packet after a proper user connect. It also contains
rebuilt linux binaries using a newer internal build system so please report
any load problems you may see under linux.

I have updated all of my goldsrc servers with this after getting a string of
crashes earlier, and everything seems to be fixed and no plugins or anything
broke.  YMMV.

I don't think so, if this kind of thing was possible on legit servers there
would be an avalanche of complaints.Not just from nosteam users.

The only people complaining are nosteam users.

If you run nosteam servers, quite frankly you're not entitled to any support
cause you're supporting thieves. Reinstall a clean install of srcds, don't
apply the nosteam crack, then let us know if it happens again.

Until then, it's a non-issue.

 crash
  vars valve has fixed already.
 
  BTW: I just heard now that the SM team seems have one eye on that issue.
 So
  there will be a fix if this is a legit exploid.
  But that´s unconfirmed by now.
 
 
  Then how do you explain that most of those servers ips are on Non Steam

  How can you be so sure that it is not the admins uploading the plugin

  No, they havent out this plugin there themselve! This plugin is 100%
  placed from outside and also NOT through FTP!
  It´s open if there´s a exploid wich only appears on NS server, or if
  there´s a valid exploid wich didn´t got used yet for hacking legit
  servers.
  Anyway, here´s a selfish nonsteam hater who does this hack on those NS

  Belive me or not by that. I #care since i´m not running NS anymore.
 But
  remember me on the day when somone says that this, yet unknown,
 exploid
  also exists on legit too.
 
  However, for now it would be kind enough from VALVE to fix the rcon IP

  I spent a little while looking into this, and found a few things:
 
  1) The servers with rcon_password=1 are fine, and don't seem to have
  been hacked.  This is caused by the eventscripts rcon_lock plugin.
  Aside from showing the rcon_password as 1 it doesn't seem to have
 any
  negative effects.
  2) The servers with actual rcon passwords have been hacked in some
  way.  See http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=93937 for

Re: [hlds_linux] [valve] Re: Tf2/l4d updates?

[Steve!]

My server is dead cos valve ran out of grenades when they made tf2 ;) 

 Certainly didn't mean to intend my server is the end all stats for  
 tf2, I am just echoing the comments I've heard from numerous people I  
 play with, all of whom really want to see new content for tf2.
 
 All very anxious for new tf and l4d content.

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

[Steve!]

Lets hope this list stays, it has been invaluable to ourselves as server 
operators, and to valve themselves with debugging etc.

I'll bet a huge proportion of server ops subscribe here, and I bet a huge 
proportion of those would have been ready to give up on hosting valve 
servers had this list disappeared, even if just out of being pissed at 
valves... 'stupidity' at doing away with such a beneficial resource.

Without these lists, it would only be a matter of time before valve were 
relying only on their single player mods, or end up paying out to run their 
own servers.

Did valve ever give an excuse as to why they were gonna do away with us? 
Like many others, I don't bother with the time to visit the forums, so if 
this has been addressed there, can the person who visits the forums please 
copy/paste here?

Oh, and to add to the list of why we need a list, many of us read this when 
we get time, including offline.

Re: [hlds_linux] AMD64 binaries

[Steve Dudenhoeffer]

64bit binaries have been distributed since before VAC2.  This means they 
are still using the old protocol (47), and if any servers still happen 
to use amd64 nobody will be able to connect to them.

Instead of actually building it for 64bit, their fix was to edit 
hlds_run to use hlds_amd instead of hlds_amd64.

 I admit I haven't dug into the scripts to see what is actually being run,

Re: [hlds_linux] no more then 29 servers?

Did you try nohltv on the startup line? I think remember Milton saying
the sourcetv ports would get in the way even if you didn't assign them.


 Hi,

 I am using ports in 27xxx, 28xxx and 29xxx range.

 I have yet to try to set the sourcetv port. I'll try that suggestion asap.

 Milton Ngan has said before they run 40 servers on a single machine.
 I'd try specifying ports for everything (even SourceTV, even if you

Re: [hlds_linux] srcds and screen

[Steve]

as long as you have permissions

screen -x (screenname)

should do let you attach to it regardless. You can even attach to screens
that other users are still attached to..




 I know this isn't directly related to hlds but:

 I use screen to run srcds and would like to be able to pass the detached
 srcds process between users so that they can all attach to the screen.
 Is there any way to this or would it be a bad idea?

Do you have sv_steamgroup_exclusive set to 1?  Setting that to one
nulls out the key (at least it did prior to the last update, haven't
tried it since).

I use sv_search_key and sv_steamgroup, but I leave

Re: [hlds_linux] Lobby

If you are running SM, make sure nextmap.smx is disabled or you'll have 
the problem you described.  Other than that, my servers work perfectly 
with SM/MM (no fun mods, just server management plugins).

 The issue you experience where you can be playing a co-op map, then after

 SourceMod at the same time, but face it everyone...neither of them are ready

 They are what ruined TF2's server selection.  I know they make some great

 This post is mostly about:

 - Finding a dedicated server when starting the game from a lobby is now
 faster and more reliable

 but i have something to say for those too who run servers, especially
 modded ones so i will post this here instead of useless steampowered ranting
 forums.

 After the update, i  and others have  constantly having issues with
 connecting to a proper servers. Either the new improved search system at
 lobby, which automatically selects the server where the players are thrown,
 is faulty or there isnt free servers at this area. Me and others keep
 getting into servers far away from us. To American, Australian and other
 countries. What is the reason why there could not be favorite servers that
 can be selected from lobby? Sort of like pre-reservation or something. Sure
 there is that play on steamgroup server but thats not enough. With that
 way i can only play with friends - if none are around, i get to go to random
 roulette and face the following issues:

 Some servers also seem to swap from normal to versus mode on the fly after
 first completed map in the campaign. Happened twice now in 2 different
 servers after the latest 2 updates. Not sure if this is caused somehow by
 those server settings or in-game bug.

 Another issue aimed to all of you who run modded servers - it is nice that
 you set up some plugin that filters players out according to their country.
 Now if i end up in US server and there is a filter on that does not allow me
 to get it (your country blablablaa is not allowed on this server), its
 somehow game breaking bug. Frustration to the max and i sure aint the only
 one who faces these errors. Another thing is ping kicker that some servers
 seem to have gotten on using some plugin. Very nice invention. It is likely
 that i would not play on these servers anyway but it is extreamly
 frustrating when you have nice group along from previous game and then new
 server is selected for another campaign - booted and then someone else
 manages to join in to your place.

 One more issue that comes to my mind from versus mode problems are the
 servers that are using director_no_human_zombies 1 which means that half of
 the players will get message human player limit exceeded 8/4. Sure there
 is that return to lobby vote option but thats not enough. Some people are
 already left the server due to this issue and it breaks the game. All
 servers using this cvar should be excluded from versus search. My suggesting
 would be sv_allow_versus cvar that would be checked upon reservation.

 Best (?) thing for everyone would be to exclude these custom plugin
 servers filtered out somehow from lobby server search or improve the system
 so we should not end up on servers far away at all where these problems come
 up.

Re: [hlds_linux] Fork not working while single server is fine

[Steve]

I suggest removing +map from the start line and just adding map l4d_... 
to the beginning of east server##.cfg.  This is how I did it to set 
different default maps on a forked server.

 Hmm I think I launch my forks with +map l4d_hospital_01 +exec server##.cfg
 (whatever the hospital name is), with another map name at the end of the
 server##.cfg file (tried map xxx and changelevel xxx), and it keeps
 hospital.
 I finally made a separate launch command to have vs servers next to coop
 servers

 It's a bug, and valve has even said so on this mailing list. You should
   
 be
 
 specifying +map not -map. By default if you start a single server, the
 mapcycle.txt is read and whatever is first is loaded (I think). But with
 -fork it doesn't do this, for some reason it expects the first map to be
 taken from the command line arguments.

 This is where it gets stuck.

 Nothing happens after this. I can't connect to the servers with telnet

Re: [hlds_linux] -fork configuration tip

[Steve Sumichrast]

I'm running ten forks, plus a TF2 server, on a dual-core E6600 server
with 2 GB of RAM (I believe that RAM is accurate).  That's pushing the
limits of the box, but we're not running much else on it.

I'm going to be purchasing a new dual-quad core xeon with 16 GB of RAM
I hope...  I should be able to squeeze a lot out of that one.  :)




On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 9:38 AM,  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 The answer is, it depends :P

 We've got a quad-core xeon (2.1GHz) and are running 12 servers with cpu
 usage not really going above 65% on any core.  However before we could max
 out our cores we'd run out of memory (we also have 2 gig) - we're not
 loading the box fully because it's a general purpose server.

 Given that your processor is faster (though half the cores), I'd estimate
 you could run up to 10 servers... But I'd stick it at 8 and see how you go.

Re: [hlds_linux] coop - versus mode

[Steve Sumichrast]

I just posted this question on the list serv a few days ago.  Specify
the map load in your cfg files and it won't matter.  I thought the
same thing, when I go map to map it will execute my config -- wrong.
It executes server.cfg every time, but not the +exec that's in the
startup of the servers.  So what I do is have a general configuration
file (settings.cfg).  Each server_cfg##.cfg file then runs exec
settings.cfg, which sets my servers to my steam group, etc -- global
settings.  Then each server_cfg## contains the hostname, map load, etc
-- that way I have two co-op servers per campaign (at startup, they
can of course by modified by end users), and then also have two versus
servers, just by loading the vs maps.

I was scared as well that it would load this per map change, but it doesn't.

 Also, I suggest you create a different mapcycle for VS maps and specify

 Use the mapcycle cvar in your server##.cfg

 mapcycle mapcycle_vs.txt

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D direct connection issue ?

What does your start up parameters look like?

I'd first try an update, if that doesn't resolve post your startup
params.  It looks like something is missing from that or something is
screwy in your CFG.

Post back your startup params and server.cfg (don't forget to remove
any passwords).

Re: [hlds_linux] Hibernation?

[Steve Sumichrast]

The best I can tell, when a server empties out, it restarts.  When it
fires back up if nobody is on the map, it goes into hibernation.

I have forks this moment in hibernation -- I can still RCON to them though.

 Someone wrote (Probably you), and the time was 20:08 20-11-2008

Hibernation basically just means there's no one in there so it stops
processing stuff from inside the map to save on CPU... it shouldn't affect
any external control method at all (whether typing on the actual game
console, using a netconport console, or using hlsw or external rcon program)

 I'm pretty sure the server just stopped responding, and wasn't
 visible in eg. Steam Groups in L4D, when it enters this state.

 After changing to running using -fork, I can see that the server does
 the following when entering hibernation

 #02:Server is hibernating
 Child 1 aborted with signal 14
 setparm 9 10002
 setparm 13 forkserver02.cfg

 after which it restarts and loads map, etc

 Which seems to indicate that this state, at least in L4D, means that
 the server needs to be restarted, or am I totally mistaken?

Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate start option

[Steve Sumichrast]

Hum -- I think you may have a point here, auto update may never happen
with L4D since the forks never really go through map change at the
same time..  I'm not sure how it would handle that.

Seems to me auto update won't happen, you'll continue to get the
message in the console output that at restart you will receive
updates..

Everytime I start up my forks it checks in for an update... but I
doubt it's going to happen while they're up and running.  Maybe
someone from valve can comment.

 I know this has been a lingering question on all server admin's

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking

[Steve Sumichrast]

Ditto -- when people connect they just get normal settings which is
annoying -- not a huge deal to just change it to whatever, but still..
 Why can't lobby leaders have an option to choose Dedicated Server,
Local Server Community Server, or something?  That seems like the
simplest thing to do -- I don't care which server my members land on,
just that they can...

Right now with sv_search_key set on all my forks and my client, I
never land on my servers -- ever.  It's annoying to say the least.

   Same here. I have servers set up, but when my key matches the
   one I set
   on the server, I can't find any dedicated servers when searching

[hlds_linux] Different modes with one fork

I'm running 10 forks from a single instance -- I've got a question,
though... In my config files I specify that the z_difficulty is
Impossible... doesn't seem to matter, though, for the steam community
servers option, as it just goes back to normal anyways thanks to the
way the connection works... Regardless, how can I make say, 4 of the
forks be a versus server?  I know changing the map is what does it,
so I thought okay... in my individual fork config files, I'll specify
map someversusmap... But doesn't that CFG get executed at every map
change?  If so, you'd move from a vs map to another vs map, and during
that map change, it would change maps back.. no?

I haven't watched the map change events on L4D, I'm going by
experience with TF2...  Basically does whatever I specified in +exec
get executed at every map change event?  If so, how do I force certain
forks into versus mode?

Re: [hlds_linux] Different modes with one fork

This is working great -- I specified in each config the mail file to
load -- I then went into the parent process, told all the maps to
switch to airport and all forks switched over.  Worked great, none of
them went back to the one specified in the cfg file (I have server.cfg
just resetting things such as sv_cheats back to 0 incase we left them
on by accident for playing around..)  But server.cfg doesn't execute
at load... so this is working out great.  Thanks for the feedback...
I have 10 forks now, running 8 slots of every map (two servers per
each co-op map, and one per each vs map)

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] L4D max slots - another solution

[Steve]

or you could do this

director_no_human_zombies = 1
 game replicated
 - Prevents humans from joining the zombie team


 I just had an idea that I am testing now.

 If the max players is controlled via the type of map that gets loaded.

 Why can't you just remove the maps for the type you don't want?

 For instance. I want a 4 player co-op only server.. so I move all the VS
 maps to another folder.. then start up the server..

 I know this is somewhat of a duct tape fix for the problem.. and it will
 cause issues when it tries to download the maps again during an update
 cycle.. but it should work in theory right?

 Haven't testing extensively.. but so far it appears to be working.

 You launch the server and it will change the number of slots when the
 players on the server call a vote.

Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate start option

[Steve]

Autoupdate is broken, like in orangebox.
You have to modify your srcds_run script.

Find :

 update() {
 updatesingle
 }

And replace it by :

 update() {
 cd ..
 updatesingle
 cd l4d_demo
 }




 I know this has been a lingering question on all server admin's
 minds.  When is the -autoupdate flag going to start working properly
 again?

 I noticed its not working for left4dead as well as tf2.

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

[Steve]

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 \
-ip 1.1.1.1\
-netconport 9000+##\
-netconpassword password\
-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.

Do you think it could mean that is looking for a directory called server

 Well I fired up 4 forked servers (5 didn't seem to take, gotta debug

 an 8 player server ... but the server##.cfg files didn't get read.

Make sure on the telnet port you connect to, hit enter once, then PASS
password (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.

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

why don't you just drop the IP at your firewall?


 Ban the IP? Set up a script that checks the serverlogs periodically for
 these message and auto-ban IP's that trigger the rate limits often?

Re: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process

[Steve]

Amazing!! does this tech stand any chance of making an appearance on the
win32 side?


 I can't say I have tried it, but in theory, you should be able to run one
 forked L4D server across a giant network of machines, including load
 balancing, including live migration of server instances across multiple
 machines, using mosix http://www.mosix.org/, which is pretty interesting.

 This is truly the next generation the game is going to turn.

 Imagine mods development, through campaigns editions constructed over the
 childs, swapping players between childs processes, maybe voice
 communication through the childs processes ...
 The opportunites that this system may encourage will inscrease the game
 experience.

 Awesome !


 -Original Message-

 Not sure exactly what you are asking, but yes, there is bidirectional
 communication between the parent process and all the children.
 It isn't used for much right now, but more info could be transmitted.
 Currently,

 - the parent can send concommands to all children
 - the parent sees the spew from all children
 - the parent sees occasional status updates from the children. This
 allows, for instance, a monitoring tool to show you how many people are on
 your set of servers and what map they are playing by just connecting to
 one port and querying, instead of needing to connect to every running
 instance. Since some systems can run up to 40-50 instances at once, this
 is useful.

 Subject: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process

 Well, the new source dedicated server as a new feature: fork command line.

 May the engine permit data exchange between the childs processes (telnet)
 ?
 This may be a revolution.

Re: [hlds_linux] I fail at separate configs

[Steve]

Using +exec server##.cfg and then setting servercfgfile in each file 
should accomplish that.

 Yes it's looking for a file with ## in it, changing the map outputs an error
 to that effect (and if you name a file ##.cfg then it executes the contents
 of that file)

 I'd prefer to use servercfgfile as it's executed every mapchange as opposed
 to just on server startup, but I'll look into using +exec (just have to wait
 a few hours for my servers to shutdown again)

 Yeah - we are using +exec on our servers.
 It's possible that +servercfgfile is executing before the command line
 substitution happens - does it appear to be looking for a file with a
 ## in it (strace will tell you if nothing else does)?

 Unless I'm missing something, why not use +exec instead? Perhaps
 +servercfgfile does not work with ##. I use +exec server_cfg##.cfg in
 my
 srcds launch line and it works as expected (looks for server_cfg01.cfg,
 server_cfg02.cfg, etc).

[hlds_linux] sv_steamgroup issue

[Steve]

There seems to be a glitch with sv_steamgroup that causes other servers 
to appear on the list. I noticed that the first 4 digits of the other 
server's groupid was the same as our groupid.

Ex.
Our server: 1234
Other server: 123456

Both are recognized as being part of group 1234.  Anyone else see this 
happen?

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Demo CVARs cfg files

[Steve Sumichrast]

Anyone care to share what they're using for launch parameters/cvars?

I'm going: ./srcds_run -game left4dead +map
l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment -fork 4 -port # +ip ... +exec
server.cfg

In server.cfg I have the hostname specified and the rcon_password
specified.  Also did a sv_minrate and sv_maxrate -- not sure about
difficulty levels, though -- are those dynamically configured through
the match maker/Director?  Ideas?

it'd be nice to have some insight on this, scheduled launch is an hour
away and I've got people wanting servers! :)
