Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

[Weasels Lair]

A couple of weird things I noticed on my TF2 beta server today:

1) The port number I specified on the command-line in 6911, but in the
"status" command it shows 6912.  I did not notice that yesterday, but I
assume it was showing that way yesterday as well.  I have not tried to
update since fixing the server yesterday.  Current non-beta does not show
that way (although as I recall it works that way - always adding 1 to the
port number given at the command-line? but showing the original port number
anyway?).  So, maybe just making it reflect "reality" now?  Would be nice
to just make it use the port numbers used instead though. :-)

2) The beta server worked fine yesterday, but today some issues.  Not sure
if related to my upgrade from Ubuntu 14 LTS to Ubuntu 16 LTS.  I can not
connect to the server today, and today I notice under the "status" command
it says:

(secure mode enabled, disconnected from Steam3)

Will do some more troubleshooting on the 2nd issue, I am kind of assuming
anything after my Ubuntu LTS 14 to LTS 16 upgrade is related to that until
proven otherwise.

Had the server crashing at launch, this fixed it. Though for me all I
needed to do was installing "libcurl3-gnutls:i386".

Guess I'm ready for the rollout next week. :)

Hi John,

Can't the 32bit binary compatibility later be simply dropped and go
for full/pure 64bit dedicated server env?
Or at least have two slots/appID's per dedicated server allocated so
that one can choose which (32 bit, or 64bit) version to install.
Having both side by side just adds to the confusion and i for one
would like to get rid of 32bit legacy libraries due to their potential
security risk (32bit stack based overflows).

With kind regards,

Thanks, got that installed/upgraded (.3 was there but not .4, and not
32-bit apparently).
For others following, on my Ubuntu 14.04.03 install, here's what extra I
had to install:

sudo apt-get install libcurl3-gnutls;
sudo apt-get install libcurl3-gnutls:i386;
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev;
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev:i386;

This means that replay_srv.so could not load due to missing
dependencies, and is likely due to missing required libraries.

The following command, from the tf install directory (where srcds_linux
is), should identify why replay_srv.so is not able to be loaded

env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:bin" ldd -d bin/replay_srv.so

(if you are using any special LD_LIBRARY_PATH/linker tricks, ensure you
invoke ldd the same way)

Hi John,

VC++2015? Praise the lord, it's finally happening!

Can we expect a corresponding push to the source-sdk-2013
 GitHub repo when the
SDK2013 update happens?

I can't wait to get off of VC++2013, a.k.a. the "we at Microsoft don't give
a shit about C++11 support even though the standard has been finalized for
literally over 2 years" edition.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Heads up - Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers, likely mod breakage - Beta available

[Weasels Lair]

Thanks John for the follow-up and details, and thanks for working with the
SourceMod team in advance of these changes.  Something like 90% of
community servers probably run SourceMod in some form (I am guessing).  So,
good to see that communication going up-front.

Thanks again,

- Weasel.
