Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP

[Fletcher Dunn]

Just a heads up that this is going to change when we release the SteamPipe 
update.

All version numbers will be simple integers (they are actually the P4 revision 
numbers of the build).  The a.b.c.d format is gone.

The ClientVersion and ServerVersion will update with every build.  The two 
numbers are actually redundant will always be equal.  (There is a historical 
reason to have two numbers that isn't interesting.)
As before, the PatchVersion will only change for mandatory updates.  On a 
mandatory update, all three versions will be bumped to the same value.  For an 
optional update, the ClientVersion and ServerVersion will get bumped, but 
PatchVersion will stick.  Thus, you should expect steam.inf to change on every 
update.

With the upcoming conversion of the Source engine games to SteamPipe, we will 
have the ability to release the server ahead of the client.  This introduces 
extra complexities because now you can be "out of date" because your version is 
too NEW to be listed.  So the WebAPI will need to be able to signal the server 
version currently available for download, as well as the range of versions that 
are acceptable.  (Or something like that.)  More details on that will be 
released when the time comes.  We're hoping to release the first server and 
client (as an opt-in beta) very soon.

I agree, but in this way you can check the validity of the engine (its 
version), and my observation is that the smaller updates / amendments do not 
change the version number and build number, and only then that the API is not 
any ...

2013/3/12 Charlie mailto:sprayp...@gmail.com>>
How we do it:

Make a Steam API call with AppID and the version you currently have (0 if 
you've never checked.) (TF2 for example: 
http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v0001?appid=440&version=0&format=json)

Grab $request->response->required_version for whatever the AppID is that you 
want to check.

If it's a game we haven't checked before, we store the AppID and required 
version.

If we have a current version already on record, we check if 
$request->response->up_to_date == FALSE.

If it's not up to date, we update and store the new required version for future 
update checks.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP

[Jesse Molina]

I forgot to mention that in my case, I am updating a set of 
master/vanilla/unconfigured installations that will never ever actually 
start.  They are instead used as referrals for symlinks.


Thus, getting the info from rcon is not a viable solution.

Since Fletcher says the game gets it's info from steam.inf anyway, that 
seems to indicate it being the definitive source of the local information.


I wish I could just "srcds_linux -game tf --version".

On this subject, is there any way to determine the local version of
the installed srcds server?  I find the steam.inf files are unreliable
and only
TF2 has the current client/server version in it that I could compare

Is there a better way of determining when srcds servers should be
updated other than the WebAPI?  I looked into Steam Condenser this
weekend but really didn't see anything interesting.

Advice from anyone who has already automated this this would be

[Mart-Jan Reeuwijk]

Hmm, with the new updating system (that is being rolled out slowly now to all 
valve games) and using a proxy aimed at Valve's update servers, one should be 
able to let servers update using the proxy.

- update comes
- automation detects update, and starts 1 server to update using the proxy.
- Proxy downloads and serves the files
- All other same game servers can update fast using the proxy at convenience.

Sure, that needs to be done per different type server, but that is needed with 
any system.

I need the download of information that was any change to the file server,
your application can now download the latest game server files to your
server, and the files on the machine are always up to date, because they
are assumed to be updated all game servers available in the application.
For this is the most needed information retrieved from the API (as I write
in PHP) that the valve is available servers more recent version of the file
server. That it was the best information about the build number, date of
compilation or last modified date of the file server in unix format.

The ideal situation would be to such information (in terms of build number)
you can download for all valve games because it would allow for easy
operation of such automatic updates for all game servers available on
Steam. For Valve, it is also undoubtedly very beneficial because hundreds
of servers when updating will use the internal update system instead of
downloading the data for each server directly from serweró steam.

Yea, I'm PHP and Ruby ignorant though.  I'm a sysadmin, not a web dev.

Fortunately, there is the python steamodd, which I can work with.  I 
only recently discovered it but have not had a chance to play with it 
yet though.


I have yet to find a good rcon client for the linux command line.

Thanks for the tip.

On this subject, is there any way to determine the local version of the

TF2 has the current client/server version in it that I could compare

Is there a better way of determining when srcds servers should be updated

Advice from anyone who has already automated this this would be

Okay, I just realized that the WebAPI required_version is a half-assed

Maybe unreliable was the right word.  I hardly feel good about using

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP

[Erik-jan Riemers]

https://github.com/koraktor/steam-condenser been using that for php for
years, query the server and then the webapi with it. Always is spot on,
optional updates is something you cannot but i assume most people daily
restart there servers anyways.

Maybe parsing the version information from the `status` output via RCON is
more reliable.

[Netshroud]

I just checked CS:GO and Steam.inf + ISteamApps UpToDateCheck seems to be fine 
for that.

What do you mean by unreliable?

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP

[Jesse Molina]

On this subject, is there any way to determine the local version of the 
installed srcds server?  I find the steam.inf files are unreliable and 
only TF2 has the current client/server version in it that I could 
compare against the WebAPI.


Is there a better way of determining when srcds servers should be 
updated other than the WebAPI?  I looked into Steam Condenser this 
weekend but really didn't see anything interesting.


Advice from anyone who has already automated this this would be appreciated.
