Hi Bart, Bart King wrote: A little overkill for an 8 player server. You can run an 8 player server on a PIII 800. I run a 64 player CS:S server on a similar specification machine and it just about copes. Yeah it is a bit overkill but then it's only a virtual server; there are other websites etc being hosted elsewhere on the machine so I'm gonna take things slowly and see how it goes. Plus I prefer smaller deathmatch games so I don't really want that many players ;) You might want to investigate Mani Admin Plugin: www.mani-admin-plugin.com If you don't want to install MAP, you can fake the server's max player count by using sv_visiblemaxplayers. It's not an ideal solution, but it's something at least. Cool thanks. sv_visiblemaxplayers may well be enough... I'll give it a shot. HLSW, as someone pointed out is at http://www.hlsw.org. As the web site is currently broken (and has been for some time), use FTP (remember that?): ftp://ftp.hlsw.org:21/downloads/hlsw/hlsw_1_0_0_44_setup.exe Ahh great thanks. Seems to work fine. There are log parsers, none of which are decent. One that is looking promising (but not hit 1.0 milestone yet) is HLStatsX: www.hlstatsx.com. Cool I may well give it a try. :) sv_robust_explosions 0 This cvar doesn't exist? Yes it does; at least it does on Source servers.

It would appear that the Steam client (since the recent server update) refuses to display the shield for "secure" servers that really are. I guess this will appear on Valve's ever-lengthening to do list. -- Bart King +44 7812 195654 - http://www.bart666.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Is 30 ok to use and if so, why is the default 60? sv_maxupdaterate 101 the best imho. * 5. When I right click my server in the Steam list and click "View server info" I am told 'Valve Anti-Cheat: Not secure'. Is this anything to worry about? Can I make it 'secure'? If you see the VAC2 logo on loading there arent any problem, it's a new bug when u dont see in serverbrowser. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
[hlds_linux] Lots of (newcomer) questions
Hi all, I'm new to the list so howdy all :) I've just been given permission by my boss to set up a Source server on our core network. It's a Fedora Core 3 Linux (v)server with Dual Xeon 3.00Ghzs and 2GB RAM so I'm pretty chuffed about it. I have a few questions that I'd be really grateful if anyone can shed some light on... * 1. Is it possible to setup the server in some way so that any player with rcon access can burst the maxplayers value. To clarify, I have maxplayers currently set at 8 but I would quite like to be able to join the game myself even if 8 people are playing on the server. Any ideas? Failing that, is there a way to kick a player and give them a message similar to 'Sorry but the server admin wants to play' :) * 2. Does anyone know of a decent rcon app for Windows that would enable me to run commands on the server without loading up Half Life 2 each time? * 3. Is there a decent log parser out there that'll generate HTML reports from logfiles? * 4. After reading the following article ... http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=108 I have added the following to my server.cfg: sv_maxrate <= I assume these correspond to the client-side 'rate' sv_minrate 5000 What is the point of setting a sv_minrate? sv_maxupdaterate 30 .. does this mean the maximum number of update packets to accept from a client per second? Is 30 ok to use and if so, why is the default 60? sv_robust_explosions 0 ... does this really make any difference and is the graphical effect of 0 noticeable? * 5. When I right click my server in the Steam list and click "View server info" I am told 'Valve Anti-Cheat: Not secure'. Is this anything to worry about? Can I make it 'secure'? * 6. I'm having problems setting up a HL2 CTF server (www.hl2ctf.com). I've unzipped the files into 'hl2ctf' off the main server directory (the directory with 'srcds_run' in) but when I run it, things go a bit screwy. It seems to only load in the deathmatch files but then tries to load the ctf map... ./srcds_run -game hl2ctf +map ctf_raven . Game.dll loaded for "Half-Life 2 Deathmatch" . Unknown command "play" . Attempted to create unknown entity type ctf_combine_flag! Can't init ctf_combine_flag Unknown command "ctf_capturelimit" Am I missing the obvious here?
