Bonjour moi, I'm also interested in a solution to do this. But ... There was a method using ManiAdminplugin. There was another using EventScript. Nowadays, there are none (as far as I know). Since you can't execute the connect command on a client, you can't redirect it.

Re: [hlds_linux] Move a connection when a server is ful to on empty server ?
I'm not saying that. I agree with you and I definitely either would not want to be redirected to another server if i plan to play on the one that i connected to But in a matter of 2 identical servers, this would not be a problem, unless you care about rank which in most cases, is not identical. Gladly there is no way to do this at the moment so we can connect and end up where we want, taken that there are free slots left. -ics Wim Barelds kirjoitti: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Could you explain how this is a problem?

With that said, can we get some sort of straight forward answer as to the recommended platform or configuration for SourceDS for Linux? I realize that Linux does take a back seat to Windows as far as SourceDS goes (look at the incident a year or so ago when VALVe released a linux update that would not even start in a vanilla state), but some sort of input would at least help us get on the right track. These are the three core questions I would like to see answered by Alfred or someone else directly from VALVe and not a third party: 1. What distribution of Linux does VALVe use for testing and deployment? 2. What kernel version (and also patches if applicable) are used in this platform? Also, can we get the kernel configuration, or even the kernel's .config file? 3. What other system packages and versions core to the OS (glibc, etc.) are used? Those three questions, I don't think, are asking a lot from VALVe, considering the amount of time and money we put into hosting the game.

Re: [hlds_linux] Move a connection when a server is ful to on empty server ?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I have to agree that, while it's annoying to not have cexec anymore, it sure beats joining a server that says 30/32 and being redirected to an empty 10-man server because someone is running fake servers that look full to redirect people to their actually empty server.

FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Darwin... and I don't speak of the historical BSDs. Sure, no more worries. :-P I do agree that it sucks to support hundreds of systems with different versions of all sorts of libraries, but I bet there are people in the BSD camps who are up for more bleeding edge stuff, while others rather stay conservative with yesterday's C library. What does this give you? Absolutely the same situation as the bulk of Linux distributions: different versions of everything. With Linux, at least the kernel is more or less the same. ~~ Ondra P.S. I doubt BSD binaries are worth it until Linux support is more-than-decent, as Linux has a /slightly/ larger userbase. Fixing Linux should therefore be a higher priority than getting out one-quarter-broken binaries for yet another platform. On 01.08.07 16:34 Uhr, kama wrote: Wouldnt that be sweet?

It's not like modem connections are prevalent or even acceptable today and there is no other use for digests than to conserve bandwidth (since mail filtering is all too easy with mailing lists and digests break the threading of mailing lists).

I realize that Linux does take a back seat to Windows as far as SourceDS goes (look at the incident a year or so ago when VALVe released a linux update that would not even start in a vanilla state), but some sort of input would at least help us get on the right track. These are the three core questions I would like to see answered by Alfred or someone else directly from VALVe and not a third party: 1. What distribution of Linux does VALVe use for testing and deployment? 2. What kernel version (and also patches if applicable) are used in this platform? Also, can we get the kernel configuration, or even the kernel's .config file? 3. What other system packages and versions core to the OS (glibc, etc.) are used? Those three questions, I don't think, are asking a lot from VALVe, considering the amount of time and money we put into hosting the game. I don't like the idea, but I'd down-grade packages as needed on my servers to keep things running smoothly. Also, I'm not sure *what* you guys are doing, but it seems that the updates are a back and forth game with my ability to renice my game server processes to -20 (if set, both game servers spike to 99% CPU used). This is a core functionality to my servers, and I (as well as other Source administrators) would really appreciate having it fixed. It appears on my servers when two game server processes are set as -20. However, with one set to -20 and the other left at 0, it's fine. Again, this fixes/breaks with updates on and off and is sort of frustrating since setting the process priority is written into my scripts, and I have to remove it every time it breaks (and game server performance suffers from it).

Re: [hlds_linux] What would you recommend?
There are so many things you can do with Linux that either you can't do with Windows, or you have to pay an arm and a leg for professional software to get it done. Linux scripting together with cron allows you to fully automate so many things, simply and cleanly. Linux shell scripting is much more powerful and flexible than the equivalent batch scripting in Windows. With Linux you have the power to know exactly what is running on your server, and it is pretty simple to trim off the fat and run only exactly what you need. With Windows that is either difficult, or impossible, especially when it comes to os components (try uninstalling IE or Outlook Express...). My experience with Windows and Linux is with HLDS. When I switched to Linux, I was able to more than double my sv_maxupdaterate. The only reason I can guess for this is that Windows is attaching some kind of bulky header to each packet, and if this is the case, then the same performance improvement should apply to SRCDS as well. I run servers on a home cable connection, so I am much more concerned with bandwidth usage than a professional server operator might be, but I would still think that even a professional server operator would find lower bandwidth usage a good thing.

RE: [hlds_linux] What would you recommend?
I run a windows server (SactoBox) and I have to say that it doesn't require a lot of technical expertise to run it or keep it going though there's pretty much no way to smoothly automate anything. I have some startup batch files and a wait program to keeping everything running, some regedit's to auto-login, and it works ok, but in no way is it elegant. If you spend some money on fire-daemon or use OGSWatcher you can get it automated but there are downsides to that too. I have a pocket full of windows certifications and it still took a while to get it tuned--not that you need a cert. to do it--but that it takes a while to get it right given your server configuration and connection properties. On Windows, automatic updates are a pain and I have to keep some services disabled and re-enable them when running updates (which you had better do frequently on a Windows box) and the antivirus can be problematic as well for the same reasons. There's also false positives on the WGA if you try to turn off too many windows services (in regards to optimizing resources/performance) and you have to let Big-Brother watch a little and decide if you can keep running windows or not. I started out on windows, as it's my area of expertise, but I did consider using Linux (mainly because it's free) but, to be honest, I wasn't feeling up to the learning curve and just wanted to get my server running. Given all the hassles and limitations, primarily with getting it to run without intervention, I'd probably try Linux if I had it to do over again. I'd recommend using windows if you're more on the novice end of the novice-expert continuum AND you're main interest is in playing on your server AND you're not much interested in digging in to os configuration stuff. You'll find a lot of complete walkthroughs on the windows side and people that want to try and help. Given my novice in Linux (I've only worked with configuring some Linux-based firewalls) my experience has been that there aren't many walkthroughs and you'll have to do a lot more learning-per-task than you would under windows. I've also experienced that linux help tends to be more of the go there, read that, figure it out, come back, and post your next question and it can be a little more challenging to make progress. There are a lot of choices of Linux distros that will have to be weighed and there have been some outstanding Linux performance issues with source that you'd have to consider as well. (Can they get it fixed? When?) As you're at the beginning, I think you'd probably have more fun getting it working under Linux but it will be more work/learning. Server performance probably won't be too different given identical hardware but I haven't seen any direct comparison here to confirm that. (I would really like that info if someone can point me to it. Also processor cache level impact to performance in source if it's out there) Have fun and good luck!!!

hi guys, first of all, nice mailing community here :P, keep up the good work :)! and now: i´m running 1x 22+1 Slot CS:S + 1x 16+1 Slot CSS:DM (+1=SourceTV and both 100Tick) on the following machine: Processor: 1x AMD Opteron 1218 (2x 2,6Ghz) RAM: 4GB DDR2-667 OS: Debian 4 Etch (32bit) Kernel: 2.6.18-cks1 (1000Hz SMP Preempt) GCC: 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) gLib: 2.3.6 (Stable) Now the problem: On both servers starts the Tick droping down as soon the 12th player joined (from 100 to 80), Tick drops further down if more people join till the server(s) are full and reach a Tick pending between 25-30 (50 on 16 player DM) The drop is only there if the players are *alive*! Also the CPU load is high, but still under 80% (each core), it´s arround 70-75%.

Re: [hlds_linux] Alfred We Need Your Help
Dont forget DragonFly... =) Well, if they just say. This will be released on FreeBSD REL-X. Then everyone knows what to run. The choice of FreeBSD is quite simple, since it is the one with the largest user base. It is within FreeBSD policy that a binary should be runable during every mayor version of the OS. And if they decide todo so I would recommend them to start at REL-7 that will be released any day now. Then they dont have to worry too much for at least 3 years until REL-9 is due and REL-7 goes unsupported. Recent tests also prove that CURRENT (which will become REL-7) is faster and scales better than Linux. Especially on larger SMP systems. Linux did have the advantage during REL-5 and REL-6, but much work have been done to make it more competitive and have now passed on some real life tests. Like MySQL tests or network speed tests. And dont forget the most important part... FreeBSD doesnt need to recompile the kernel to change the HZ-value!!! ;p /Bjorn On Wed, 1 Aug 2007, [UTF-8] OndÅ^Yej HoÅ¡ek wrote: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Darwin... and I don't speak of the historical BSDs.

What does this give you? Absolutely the same situation as the bulk of Linux distributions: different versions of everything. With Linux, at least the kernel is more or less the same. ~~ Ondra P.S. I doubt BSD binaries are worth it until Linux support is more-than-decent, as Linux has a /slightly/ larger userbase.

With that said, can we get some sort of straight forward answer as to the recommended platform or configuration for SourceDS for Linux? I realize that Linux does take a back seat to Windows as far as SourceDS goes (look at the incident a year or so ago when VALVe released a linux update that would not even start in a vanilla state), but some sort of input would at least help us get on the right track. These are the three core questions I would like to see answered by Alfred or someone else directly from VALVe and not a third party: 1. What distribution of Linux does VALVe use for testing and deployment? 2. What kernel version (and also patches if applicable) are used in this platform? Also, can we get the kernel configuration, or even the kernel's .config file? 3. What other system packages and versions core to the OS (glibc, etc.) are used? Those three questions, I don't think, are asking a lot from VALVe, considering the amount of time and money we put into hosting the game. I don't like the idea, but I'd down-grade packages as needed on my servers to keep things running smoothly. Also, I'm not sure *what* you guys are doing, but it seems that the updates are a back and forth game with my ability to renice my game server processes to -20 (if set, both game servers spike to 99% CPU used). This is a core functionality to my servers, and I (as well as other Source administrators) would really appreciate having it fixed. It appears on my servers when two game server processes are set as -20. However, with one set to -20 and the other left at 0, it's fine. Again, this fixes/breaks with updates on and off and is sort of frustrating since setting the process priority is written into my scripts, and I have to remove it every time it breaks (and game server performance suffers from it).

Re: [hlds_linux] What would you recommend?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Ok, on a more serious note 1. Linux is only good to you if you have absolute 100% control over the box the Operating System is running on. If you have to rely on somebody else, you are pretty much stuffed. That is to say, you won't be playing with Kernel timer resolutions or Kernel versions or different distros for that matter, unless you have this level of countrol, and all the advice that many people will offer to you on how to optimise Linux for SRCDS will be wasted on you. 2. Unless you are very familiar with Linux, you are going to be in a bit of trouble compared to Windows. That is to say, Windows is a lot easier to setup tweak initially. If you are familiar with Linux, then the difference is negligable. 3. For whatever reason, SRCDS seems to run with a lot less issues under Windows than it does under Linux. This mailing list is a testament to that fact. 4. It doesn't matter what OS you use, neither Linux nor Windows is going to magically wring another 50% extra cpu out of your hardware. Either you have good enough hardware to run SRCDS at the level you expect, or you do not. The choice of OS will not make any significant difference, and any negative perceived performance differences are more likely down to the experince and skill of the server operator rather than any inherent difference in the Operating Systems. So in the end, Windows will cost you up front in dollars, but just about any idiot can set it up to run SRCDS well, it is not hard. Linux will cost you nothing up front, but MAY cost you a lot in time and effort if you are not experienced in its setup use. That is pretty much your choices. P.S. I am not trying to scare you off Linux if you are prepared to put the time and effort into learning how to set it up and use it. It would be a commercially useful skill to have if you work in IT, so it is not a waste of time for people who want to have this sort of career.
