Server.cfg gets exec'd for every map change Infected.cfg gets exec'd for each versus game. There is a corresponding infected_off.cfg to reset the settings when you leave versus mode. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Sumichrast Sent:

This is the way I had it originally where all my configs were just numbers 01.cfg etc... but placed in the server subdirectory. Something has changed in the command line expansion routines where ## cannot be used at the start of the filename. So you can user server##.cfg, or server/l4d##.cfg. Ei

There is a bug in the srcds_run script where -fork is supposed to automatically supply a map, but it doesn't. So for now explicitly specify a map. Anyone will do, it will get changed as soon as someone reserves the server. M. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PRO

Re: [hlds_linux] Data exchange over crossed child process

2008-11-17 Thread Milton Ngan
Forking will share data with the parent. It typically uses a copy on write mechanism. So unless you modify the data, it will be shared between the parent and all the children. It isn't shared like threads where there is a single copy of the data. M. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROT

For the dedicated servers I am running for the XBoxes I don't use screen. Since we have the netcon port, there is no real need for a TTY console. So I just wrap srcds_i486 with a small Expect script to log the output of the console to a file. Then I just start up srcds_run with a standard init s

The only port you need to have exposed to the world is the +hostport (aka -port aka +port). This is the default 27015 UDP port. Add the rcon and netcon ports as you need them. The other ports need to be allocated (unless you can disable them like the hltv port), but are only used for outbound co
