[hlds_linux] best way to upgrade from tf2 to tf2beta (steamcmd)
As we are running multiple servers I'm trying to understand how to make the update as smooth as possible.. currently doing the update with target directory orangebox/ can preserve the files mods/mapsbut results indirectory growning from the old 7gb to the actuall11gb... what can we delete?

I'm sure they will release plenty of documentation as I think Fletch has noted earlier on the changes so I wouldn't get too concerned right now, I'm just sitting and waiting with a case of beer ready to go. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Marco Padovan Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 9:57 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] best way to upgrade from tf2 to tf2beta (steamcmd) As we are running multiple servers I'm trying to understand how to make the update as smooth as possible.. currently doing the update with target directory orangebox/ can preserve the files mods/mapsbut results indirectory growning from the old 7gb to the actuall11gb... what can we delete?

Re: [hlds_linux] best way to upgrade from tf2 to tf2beta (steamcmd)
I separated my assets on one server yesterday, it took about 40 minutes to roughly sift through 5 years of content (I remember there are materials missing from EP2 that were present in EP1 so I have to grab a few). But yes, it is mostly a pain to prepare at this point. I can only hope this does improve disk usage. As far as access speed, though, it's going to be far worse. GMod is a pretty good example of why shared namespaces are a nightmare. Thanks, Kyle.

Re: [hlds_linux] best way to upgrade from tf2 to tf2beta (steamcmd)
First you have to make a filelist from a your old vanillaserver installation: find -type f -print0 tf2.filelist.0 # type f lists all files, not directorys, this is importand Then make a little script to execute this against all your costomers. The mainpart is, to delete the existing files with your tf2.fileslist.0 cat tf2.filelist.0 | xargs -0 rm Maybe there after the deleting some empty directories, delete them: find -type d -empty -delete Maybe there are some files from vanillaserver you want to exclude (mapcycle.txt, maplist, botchatter.db, motd.txt ...). You can exclude them from your fileslist for deletion: find -type f -print0 | egrep -Zzv 'maplist\.txt|mapcycle\.txt|motd\.txt'tf2.filelist.0 You can test the filelist after creation against files, which you don't want to have inside for deletion: grep -z 'motd\.txt' tf2.filelist.0 #-z is for input files with 0-byte-seperator, -Z is for output with 0-byte-sep I'm working with the 0-Byte-Limiter to resolve the problem with filenames with whitespaces. I know Valve is crazy enough to use filenames with whitespaces. After all steps are done, you can Update your Servers first time with using the new SteamPipe. If there are some files or directories which have to move, you can move then with your script before or after updating servers. You are the winner, if you are using symlinks. In this case: delete old masterserver, install new with steampipe - rsync Updating symlinks of your customers (ppl who are using this kind of system already have this in thier scripts) Deleting bronken symlinks with: find -L -type l -delete I think during this changes some people feel the force of linux :-D 2013/2/23 Kyle Sanderson kyle.l...@gmail.com: I separated my assets on one server yesterday, it took about 40 minutes to roughly sift through 5 years of content (I remember there are materials missing from EP2 that were present in EP1 so I have to grab a few).
