Re: [hlds_linux] Anti Griefing Sm plugins
well there is a plugin for teleporter traps, i'm looking for similar plugins 2010/1/21 DrGamez drga...@gmail.com That doesn't help, what do you mean anti-griefing plugin? I think sourcemod has some anti-flood control, and there are plugins to disable/punish spawn campers in certain mods. On.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_pure...cheat?
It's not a cracked server. Pure just requires to be sv_pure 1 set in config (or 2 if you really want to drive players away on public server) and you must change map, once, make it twice to be sure it is really on but this is not why t is marked as cheat. There are currently plugins that list sv_pure as cheat. One of these is running under Eventscripts and that is called exploit and that is most likely why it is so. There are also many other cvars marked as cheat with that because you can do bad things to a server with them.

[hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
Hi, we are using a automatic *.bz2 for our content servers (fastdownload) on nix/lenny.

EXE ones type of hacks has a chance to be caught by VAC, material hacks does not. Using sv_pure 0 effectively disables VAC since that means wallhacks can be used at absolutely no risk of ever getting VAC banned.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_pure...cheat?
Well no, it doesn't disable VAC at all, aimbots, speedhacks, etc, can still not be used since VAC will still catch these. Material wallhacks (the last time that I tested one out anyway) are pretty naff, and people show themselves up by shooting through walls when they think someone is in front of them (since there is effectively no distance telltale).

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_pure...cheat?
Pure is a whitelist/blacklist system, and nothing more. It only stop non-whitelisted materials and file modifications from being used on a pure server. VAC Security is what will get people banned.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_pure...cheat?
Now it's making sense. I started to type up yesterday that I was running eventscripts and exploit, but then two things happened. 1. I unloaded exploit, but the command was still listed as a cheat, so I ruled that out. 2. Saul mentioned trying the help sv_pure command. Upon running that command and getting the status of cheat I was stymied and forgot to follow up on the other questions. Just now, instead of unloading exploit, I actually removed it from autoexec.cfg. That did the trick. ICS, your post was very informative and indicates that sv_pure could be used as an exploit. Sounds ironic. Any idea how it can be exploited that they added it to this plugin to disables it? Thanks everyone else for helping out too.

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
But this will compress up to 10 files at once.
It will not compress one file on more than one core.
It would be better and much faster if one file compressed by 8 or 16 cores.
An Example: (we are do it like your skript)
5000 files:
normal method(one file at time one core):
7h 34m
like your skript(15 files on 15 cores): !extreme load, hdd is unusable!
1h 37m
pbzip2(8 cores): !all is right, hdd usuable!
1h 43m
Take care at the number of cores.

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
I had once had a script that ran on a cron, that checked the files in the map
folder against the FDL folder on a remote server. Anything it noticed that was
not there, would transfer to the FDL, then compress.
Why do it on the fly and use all that CPU everytime the map changes. Do it once
in offpeak time, and only use bandwidth going forward.

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
Hi!
I just installed pbzip2 and runned it on the same file and ended up with
the same packed file. If you run pbzip2 will the created bz2-file differ
from bzip2 on the same file? If so, you have something wrong with pbzip2.
Do you really need to compress that much files all the time?
If we look at the options you use. For me that indicates that you pack the
same files over and over again (--force). If so why not just pack the
files that have been changed? Then you would end up with packing a lot
less files.
Something like this would probably work in that case (if runned daily):
# find . -mtime -1d30m -exec bzip2 --compress --keep --force --best {} \;

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
I think we need a slightly better description of the problem you're
trying to solve.
My interpretation of your original post is that you have a large number
of files to compress, but many cores. You tried pbzip2 (Parallel BZIP2)
and the resulting files couldn't be decompressed.
Have you confirmed that the pbzip2 compressed files are decompressible
by normal bzip2? The page for pbzip2 indicates that they should be
compatible with bzip2 1.0.2 or newer.
The problem could be that the game is using a bzip2 algorithm that isn't
compatible with bzip2 1.0.2.

It would be better and much faster if one file compressed by 8 or 16 cores.
An Example: (we are do it like your skript)
5000 files:
normal method(one file at time one core):
7h 34m
like your skript(15 files on 15 cores): !extreme load, hdd is unusable!
1h 37m
pbzip2(8 cores): !all is right, hdd usuable!
1h 43m
Take care at the number of cores.

Hi,
we are using a automatic *.bz2 for our content servers (fastdownload) on
nix/lenny.
It works fine with bzip2 --compress --keep --force --best $file
But we have one Problem..we have many files to compress and one bzip2 is
not
enough.
So we have tried pbzip2 after compress join on server Could not CRC
blabla.
So the game cannot decompress the file..
I there a way to get it clean with any other compress program?
(multithreaded)
Anyone knows witch exact format is required, that the games can decompress
it?
I cannot find any information about the decompression.
maybe do a script that does it for you instead...
This script will keep you at max 10 instances of bzip:
-- snip--
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
max
for file in $*
do
bzip2 --compress --keep --force --best $file
while [ `ps aux | grep bzip | awk 'END { print NR }'` -ge $max ]
do
sleep 1
done
done
-- snap --
This is just an example. There are probably ways to tune it and make it
better.

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
Hi, I will try to answer all replys in one post. First i will describe how our FDL works. The content server(fdl) connect all 5 minutes to all boxes an check| someone uploaded a file? if there are any changes against the content server the new data will be transfered. So in a general time of 10 Minutes all files are up to date. But with missing *.bz2 files. The bz2 files are generated each night. After the first compression they are going into several checks to be sure that the file is ok and complete. (Example: Maybe a bsp was not uploaded complete at fdl sync time) On each night we have about 500 to 1000 new files including. bsp, nav, mp3 and so on. why so much? It is possible that one Custom Map (same Version) differ from a other Server cause client upload failures or other crap. As an example: We have the map $2000$.bsp in 7 versions. (But it is the same Map and they are working all) So we have this map 7 times as bz2 because..the engine.. Its crap if you upload any of this versions to fdl as normal bsp all players can play with it. Now upload any version of the *.bz2 it will not work on all players, some players can join some not. I hope you understand what i mean. English is not my best language ;). So now to your suggestions/questions: @Bjorn --force is needed for some integrity checks we are touch *.bz2 Something like that. if [ ! -e ./bz2data_diff/bsp/$file.bz2 ]; then touch ./bz2data_diff/bsp/$file.bz2 fi We are packing only new files and delete/blacklist all bz2 of the same file if we reach a file version limit of 10. @Shane Yes i have checked. Its compatible with bzip2. The output is a little bit bigger than the bzip2 compressed file, because pbzip2 breaks the source file in little pieces and each piece is compressed by a other core. I think that the developers are using a really old libary to decompress. Because of that i ask about the method that the developers are using. concrete witch libary version are in use? If i know that i will program a multithreaded bzip2 myself. Have you tried to upload a compressed pbzip2 file to a fdl? Maybe someone can test it.

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
If I understand correctly, some people get CRC errors. I have seen this many times. If someone gets the wrong file somehow, it will not re-download the correct file, but it will check the CRC, which will be wrong. The user must find the file with the CRC error and delete it. The cause for me was... If the web server could not find the file, it gives a bogus .html file that would give a pretty web page to a user saying file not found. That .html file is named as whatever file they were trying to download. A correct web server would just give a 404 error. The game can handle that. I requested that valve change things so it will re-download a file anytime it gets a CRC error on an existing file. No response, if I recall.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_pure...cheat?
So its console command what shows server whitelist, but its also cvar variable what can be changed with memory editing, the truth is it can be checked by server plugin, you can ask client how are his cvars sets to (its how are KAC, detox, zblock etc working) but if you change value with memory editing, client will respond to server default value, so if r_drawothermodels default value is 1, and i change it with memory cheat to 2 ( i will has wallhack), but client response to server i has r_drawothermodels sets to 1, not 2, if i type r_drawothermodels i also see i have set it to 1, but i have wallhack activated, wtf? I really dont like how is cvar system in source engine working and how valve dont care about that. 2010/1/22 Didrole didr...@gmail.com: ] cvarlist sv_pure cvar list -- sv_pure : *cmd* : : Show user data. sv_pure is a concommand and not a cvar ( as Console Variable ) and thus its value on the client can't be checked by a server plugin or bypassed by a cheat that remove the replicated flag. 2010/1/22 Jeff Sugar jeffsu...@gmail.com Uh, yes it is.

Re: [hlds_linux] Rcon Hacking attempts
There is no fix coming to this from Valve. I too had issues like this. Someone kept flooding the rcon with false attempts and the gameserver just crashed. While i could manage to do it myself for my other server machine, it wouldnt work on the other - at all. There must be something at the operation system that enables this to work at certain occasions. I spoke with Valve person about this long ago back and forth and they could not replicate the issue so there was no fix for it coming. You are out of luck there. All you can do is put sv_rcon_maxfailures 20 and hope they go away. -ics h...@gmx.de kirjoitti: Hello, we have an big problem on our DOD:S Gameserver.

Re: [hlds_linux] BZip2 compression methods
CRC errors are due to corrupted file, players PC's memory is crap or webserver settings are false. The latter happens with Microsofts IIS usually, Apache is fine by default. There is no way for game knowing if the file is corrupted or not. This is why the file cannot be deleted because if it could, then every file could be overwritten on players PC and that would allow some serious holes for malicious people. Just make sure you got everything set up ok and you do not share bad files to players, then you are on the clear waters. 2 maps (different versions) cannot have the same name. Any mapper should know it and if they don't, it's your job as a server owner to boycott their work. There are few maps like this out there, like de_contra which has multiple versions upon same name for CS Source. -ics Guy Watkins kirjoitti: If I understand correctly, some people get CRC errors. I have seen this many times. If someone gets the wrong file somehow, it will not re-download the correct file, but it will check the CRC, which will be wrong.
