Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[Saul Rennison]

You made that sound more confusing than it actually is.

+convar value
-option value

for example, +hostname hello would set the hostname CVar to "hello". ConVars
cannot be set via -option parameters.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[gameadmin]

Whenever you change this value, the console says something among the lines of 
"this will take effect on map change"

Thus, if it's only set in server.cfg, which runs at the start of each map, it 
won't take effect until the second map.

I get around this by putting "exec server.cfg" in my autoexec.cfg, just before 
the line that loads the first map.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[Milton Ngan]

I put a map into the start up configs on our Left4Dead servers. Someone may 
have taken that out of context and used server.cfg instead. 

I typically put the convars (the ones with the + on the command line) into a 
start up config file rather than putting them on the command line. This is so 
that I can start up multiple instances of a game server from the same 
directory, while still having control over each individual instance. For any 
shared values these typically go into server.cfg. I use server.cfg rather than 
autoexec.cfg so that we can dynamically change the values without having to 
rcon into every instance of the game across the cluster in multiple 
datacenters. The changes will eventually propagate as the maps rotate, or the 
server is restarted. 

I agree it is confusing that there is a difference between - options and + 
options. Once you figure out which ones are convars and which are not, then it 
will make more sense. Order of convars on the command line is important. Order 
of options typically are not. Options are used to configure the low level parts 
of the engine before the convar handling is initialized. The line can be 
blurry, and sometimes "helpful" code perpetuates the confusion (e.g -ip vs 
+ip). These two should be functionally equivalent, but sometimes they aren't.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[Joonas Lehtolahti]

Or set it in autoexec.cfg where you can also execute other "must be +  
prefixed on command line" commands that you don't change around every time.


autoexec.cfg is executed once at the server start, after which the  
commands given in command line prefixed with + are executed (all this  
handled by valve.rc)


server.cfg is executed every time a map is loaded.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[Jesse Molina]

A good example of documentation that could use improvements;

Both -ip and +ip mentioned. Which do you use?  Why?  It says +ip is 
"Required for VAC2 operation."  Really?  I'm not even sure +ip works at 
all on unix.  I seem to remember trying some of these commands as + and 
they didn't work, or there was inconsistent behavior between srcds games 
(hl2mp, css, tf2, l4d, l4d2).


Doesn't mention that some + commands are required on the command line 
and are ignored in the server.cfg; map, maxplayers, etc.


Which commands are Windows vs unix specific?  Will -high be working in 
linux?  I kind of doubt it.


+hostport vs -steamport.  Why are these split up between + commands and 
- commands?  Again, putting in +hostport in server.cfg is useless (I think).


What is the default for options?  Example:  -pingboost.  Should I be 
using 2 still?  What does 3 do?  Who knows.  It would be logical to not 
mess with it unless I need to, but will that give me best performance?.


If I remember right, +map must come only after certain other commands on 
the command line, or it won't take effect.  Best to make it the last 
argument on the command line.


etc

I know that anything that can be run as a standard console command while the
server is running should be prefixed with +, not -. Other than that, it's
definitely more confusing than it needs to be.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server Loop

[Jesse Molina]

Some feedback here for Valve:

I went through the learning process of srcds servers/tf2 about nine 
months ago or so.


Because of the large number of tutorials and howtos written by very 
eager novices, I was thoroughly confused on what commands needed to be 
issued as arguments on the command line and which needed to be in the 
server.cfg.  I had to do a lot of troubleshooting and experimentation 
before I figured this out.


Clarification via official documentation as to which commands need to go 
on the command line and which need to go in the server.cfg would be 
good.  Also, which need a - and which need a + would be good too.


FYI, here's the command line used to start one of my testing quickplay 
servers;


./srcds_linux -game tf -ip 0.0.0.0 +clientport 27041 +hostport 27141 
+tv_port 27241 -steamport 26041 +replay_port 27441 -strictportbind 
-pidfile /home/hlds/srcds-servers/server-tf2-PHXONE/server.pid 
-maxplayers 24 +map pl_goldrush


This same command line setup is very similar for hl2dm, css, and l4d/l4d2

Notice how some are + and some are -.  There is a good reason for each, 
but there is no pattern or any sense to any of it from a sysadmin 
perspective.
