Re: [hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
No i don't appear to have that set, its specifically done in a startup script which has a few generic options for the srcds install like port and tickrate, then some mod specific things, like the start map etc which are executed depending on what mod name is used when running the script. Rcon access itself isn't the problem though, i can connect to the server with HLSW and use commands in its console, i just can't retrieve logs at all to get steam id's and the chat to be able to monitor everything on the server with one program, right now i'd have to watch the actual server console for chat and ID's via SSH then either use HLSW to admin it or connect directly to the server myself. When i get a chance i'll try adding the -ip switch in to see if it makes any difference though, thank you for suggesting it. Also I've rolled back two further servers as well now, again the VAC and log retrieval problems were fixed by doing this.I still have one server running the latest update if anyone has any more suggestions for me to try though.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
Adding the -ip doesn't seem to have helped, i did notice whilst i was fiddling around some more that CSS and DODS i can get logs from fine even on the updated server install, its just HL2MP and the Hidden source mod that i'm running that i'm unable to get logs with. The CSS server had a more complete set of logfile commands so i tried them in the HL2MP config to make sure but that hasn't helped either :( And just on the offchance i completely removed mani from the HL2MP install as well with yet again no change. Anyone else running any other source mods and getting the same, or anyone able to get the same with hl2mp as well, i guess since alot of people will run css and dods this is maybe a bit less likely to have been noticed on the whole.

[hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
Since the last update HLSW is unable to retrieve server logs, i can log on and execute commands, just not get any log info, chat/STEAM ID etc, so not very helpful at all. This is happening for both Linux and Windows administrators as well, one windows administrator i've seen post on the steam/hlsw forums felt it was a more recent steam update that caused him problems though. Also in a slight variation to the VAC problems my servers are able to run hl2dm in secure mode but the same install cannot get secure mode for the Hidden source mod at all. There is a rollback posted on the steampowered forums for Linux users, i've just tried this on one server install and it solved BOTH problems. Being unable to remotely administer my servers is a big problem and i certainly don't like them running without VAC either :( Anyone else on here having similar problems or know if this is already being looked into? If any further info is required then let me know.

RE: [hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
I can't answer your last questions, but I can say I have not had a problem connecting using Half-Life Server Watch to both of my servers. Maybe a firewall/router is blocking its ability to send outgoing connections? I am using 1.0.0.47 right now, the latest stable version I believe. There are some times when I cannot retrieve the log. usually if I click again afterwards it retrieves it the second try.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
Hi, i don't believe this to be the problem, I tested giving the server full access through my firewall on all ports and also using no firewall at all with no change before trying the rollback.I have also used HLSW version 1.0.0.43 and then updated to 1.0.0.47 and still had the same problem. The servers themself hadn't been running for a few months and last week i got round to setting them up again, ie updating them, it was then i realised i couldn't get logs despite nothing else having changed at my end or the servers. Currently i have four servers active: 1x Hidden source with rollback applied - HLSW log retrieval and VAC working fine 1x HL2DM server - HLSW log retireval fails, VAC works OK 2x Hidden Source with latest update - HLDS log retrieval fails and VAC won't connect I should also point out that i am running the current stable version of mani mod (1.1.0.zh) on one updated hidden server, meta mod with BAC and TKForgive on the other. The HL2DM server is running mani mod betaM The working hidden server is running mani mod 1.2betaM-RC6, before the rollback it was running 1.2betaM-RC6 and before that just betaM and still failing for both logs and VAC. I can't be certain about VAC but i know the log retrieval didn't work before i installed any of these extra mods anyway. No amount of pressing the log retrieval buttons helps on the servers without the rollback : Regards, DI On 3/24/06, Joshua Zellers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can't answer your last questions, but I can say I have not had a problem connecting using Half-Life Server Watch to both of my servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
That's weird. I really don't think HLSW does much more than connects to the gameserver through a port (7130) I believe. If you want to email me an IP and rcon password ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I can try to connect from my computer and see what happens on my end if you'd like. You can add that email to MSN Messenger as well if you want to IM instead of email.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC and log retrieval problems since 08/09 March update
Sorry, i'm not in the habit of handing out my passwords to strangers i'm afraid :p I'll see what i can do about getting another admin to try though, so far it has just been me trying with HLSW. I checked the VAC thing on one updated server as well, HL2MP/CSS/DODS are all secure but with Hidden Source on the same install i get version : 1.0.1.0/7 2677 insecure (secure mode enabled, connected to Steam3) yet as i said with the rollback all the mods on the server are secured fine.

Oh, I meant just make a dummy password. But I understand you completely, so not to worry :) Yeah, as you said, I would suggest getting another admin to try it out on their end and compare what happens. That way you could narrow down the problem with HLSW. Very strange problems with your VAC.
