Re: [hlds_linux] Multiple SRCDS Instances on Multicore servers?
I run 2 TF2 servers, a CS:GO server, a Ricochet server, and a The Ship server on a VPS with 3 cores. I cannot say it's been 100% lagfree for all time forever, but I've never noticed sustained lag or fps drop on any one of my servers. I would say our worst is about every few days, the server will have a quarter second of snapback/rubberbanding. I've never bothered to try and lock servers down to just one core, and the only other tricks I have are declaring them as high priority when they launch.

Re: [hlds_linux] Add option for disallowing killing during Merasmus spawn
This doesn't seem important enough to warrant adding a cvar and disabling killing and such. This is all anecdotal but on my server there doesn't seem to be a huge issue about killing the boss and getting into the book. There will always be cases of people greifing and such but if it's that problematic then they will find another server to get their hat. If a user is only on your server because you happen to be on that map, and they -only- want the hat, and decide to leave because they cannot get a hat... I'm going to be a negative nancy and just say you probably aren't going to make a regular repeat customer out of them anyways. And if you uber everyone on the island then what is to stop pyros from airblasting people off? Or what is to stop people from body blocking and physically preventing you from moving past? You start going down a slope that isn't worth traversing during such a short holiday event.

Re: [hlds_linux] Running a Halloween Server
You seem to be upset with TF2 for requiring a certain amount of people to take on certain tasks. You want to be able to experience 100% of the content regardless of it's intention, delivery, or challenge. This seems like you just want more free stuff for your free game, this is good, it's a sign that you really like this game and you're frustrated you cannot experience everything about it because you must rely on the public to help you. I can understand that's... sometimes unfortunate, but at the same time you cannot hold this against Valve/TF2. I'm not sure what exactly you're expecting for TF2 anymore. I mean think about what you've gotten and how it stacks up to any other multiplayer game you've ever played: - TF2 came out in 2007 (you cite Borderlands 2, when the first Borderlands came out in 2009) In this time there have been: a lot of -free- updates. Over 5 years of constant support, new game modes, new maps, new voice actor lines, new models, new weapons, new hats (hooray??), more features, different entire game modes. All of these things have been provided for free, because some people really like those $100 rings. - TF2 is now -free-, 100% free THERE ARE STILL CONTENT UPDATES. This is what really blows me away. This game is 100% free, this entire event was 100% free. Sure you can say the event sucks but why have any events... ever really? CoD doesn't have Halloween events and it seems to be quite fine without them. I'm not sure Halo has any kind of achievements unlocking new weapons, or new maps coming out (for free). - Not everyone wants to play by themselves. I think the fact that you need at least x players to do something is kind of neat - it's not something you see in a lot of other video games, and I mean is this really a big deal? It's ONE map during ONE week of TF2, and unless you've been sucked into the trading meta-game (that is cheapening TF2) there isn't anything you 'get' out of this. Then again when I started playing TF2 5 years ago, there wasn't anything to get at anytime. You say that 32 man servers show you can take an idea too far, but what is to stop that argument from being flipped on it's head. Why does VALVE get to tell me how many players I should max out on? If one can say 32+ is too many, I'm comfortable in saying you need 6 to do MvM, unless you regularly are able to 1-man MMORPG bosses or L4D runs I don't see why this is such a strange restraint. (Also side note: what is the challenge in hitting the tank? The challenge comes in splitting your attention, the tank itself is easy but it REQUIRES time, REQUIRES damage. If you have to concentrate on stopping a tank or stopping bomb progress what do you do? That question is the reason tanks exist. They are not difficult on normal, but then again the Normal difficulties are pretty easy.) - Perhaps TF2 is reaching the end of it's idea threshold So MvM isn't some perfect MAN VERSUS MACHINE SHOWDOWN, it's more of a really fancy set of maps and AI logic and hacked up missions. I explain MvM as a super polished SourceMod plugin - and that's a blast. It's a shame it takes up a literal 32 man server, but expecting them to completely change bots/AI behavior within their game at this point in it's lifetime just doesn't many any sense - there is no financial motive unless they plan on re-releasing it as some paid addition. You can't just edit SoldierBot.cs and set useRocketJumps = true. After 5 years perhaps TF2 should just be enjoyed for what it is, instead of being reliant on every holiday update bringing with it more fun. Remember how fun cp_dustbowl was on launch day? It's still that fun, you've just come to expect more, a lot more. My advice is: don't cater to quickplayer. They are users that just mashed PLAY NOW and most times have no loyalty to the place they show up at. Take your server off quickplay - get a community of players together that still like TF2 for what it is. If you cannot get those people together, then perhaps your community has moved on from TF2 and Quickplay users were just the band-aid hiding this wound. TF2 is a bunch of fun but it has become a very different game over its lifetime. I agree with your sentiment that the updates now don't feel as fun as they used to, but I also see that I have around 2,000 hours of game time in TF2, and I think that's just a lot of time to spend on one thing in general.

None of the pub servers I've tried have been good enough to kill the boss and I've not seen any items or anything resembling going to skull island etc. The rest of the time it's the shambles that koth is (please do the next event so it isn't koth based) Dialling back the fun all for the sake of the economy? Meh, I'd much prefer to just buy a game and play it with the fun included - do we really care about some halfwits collection of buds being devalued? Or even paying to play it (you have the ticket idea) but the economy results in removing the fun from the game artifically - it might give jobs for fleeing Greek economists but aside from that not a great idea :-( Worse thing for a company that is customer focused is to realise you're no longer a customer if you use their product and that they have no way of paying for TF2 if your interest is in playing it. Valve have effectively stopped selling games :( All in all, not the best tf2 experience I've ever had (not the least the couple of times I tried the matchmaking and got on a server with 32 players and premium accounts and so on being getting lucky - not Valve's fault, but if these people cheated with the client they would have been banned permanently years ago, it's not like they are different people running these servers) It might be more fun later with an organised go at it. __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hlds_linuxhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Additionally, on maps that use more than 18 effects, clients tend to crash immediately after the map change, even on maps that previously worked fine (such as pl_cashworks). Can this please be fixed, perhaps by removing the MvM particle names on non-MvM maps like we did with sounds? I'm also confused from this same log. In my log, at the top, I see this: soundprecache: 7872/8192 (96% full) Then later down, I see this: Table soundprecache 4064/8192 items One of these numbers has to be wrong. Are the MvM sounds being removed from the precache post-server start? If so, is it possible to use an SDK call to remove sounds from the precache? I can think of at lease one SourceMod plugin that could desperately use this functionality. __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/** hlds https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hldshttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hlds_linuxhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hlds_linuxhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] segfault when starting hlds
Well if there is a problem loading the metamod plugins list then you might have a problem with metamod, or the plugins. This does not happen with plugins disabled so you've narrowed down your problem.

Downside, it suxs to have to go to setting each time i join a server that has a video in it. Keep in mind, the video has to precache to play just as it does when looking at it threw IE or firefox. This precache lags players when entering the server until the video ends. Another thing that has to be considered is if the video at youtube is also under a heavy load. Have you ever gone to youtube and waited on a video to load, and have to reload it to play ? I just hope the admin's really think about the clients, and not bogging them down as they join the server.

Re: [hlds_linux] MOTD randomly not working?
I found that with forked TF2 servers, if you define a different motdfile
then it doesn't take effect until the next mapchange. At least in my case,
my MvM server is launched from the same files as my PvP server but I load
different servercfgfile and motds, but the motd is default until a map
change.

I have loaded everything from steam for TF2 in ~/hlds/common/.
I went through and symlinked (ln -s) content from ~/hlds/common/blah to

~/server-2.cfg in the respective directories.
The game seems to run fine, however it seems that the motd doesn't show

I have the following links:
$ find . | grep motd.txt
./hlds/server-2/orangebox/tf/**motd.txt
./hlds/server-1/orangebox/tf/**motd.txt
These are symlinks to ~/motd-1.txt and ~/motd-2.txt.
motd-1.txt motd-2.txt contain a single line:
$ cat motd-1.txt
http://gaming.crc.id.au/motd/**motd.html

$
I have taken a peek at the apache server logs for this, and the client
does pull down at least the html - even when it doesn't display...
When I load this into a web browser, it seems fine. The TF2 game however
randomly shows a blank gray square.
Any ideas? o_O

In this scheme, your server appears to have space if a player can join and
play on the defending team, it appears to be full if this is not the case.
The existing server browser framework does not make it straightforward to

Fletch,
I wanted to bring a bug to your attention. You guys probably already know
about this, but I thought I'd make you aware of it.
Boot Camp matchmaking has the capability to connect to servers who have
passwords set. This results in a rather frustrating 20 minute wait,
followed by a Bad Password error and the need to re-queue.
Please ignore this if it has been fixed.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] TF MvM hosting questions
True but there just is a limit to the amount of players you can support. Sure they could enable 64 players but it's completely broken, out of resources, not designed for that. There comes a time in brainstorming where you just have to draw the line. People were able to set up vs. Saxton Hale, and Prop Hunt, and all sorts of other fun gamemodes that didn't require a raising of what is essentially a hard limit. I feel like the people asking for more slots don't understand the many important reasons there is this arbitrary limit. I don't think this is Valve stomping on the server owner, if anything they've bent over backwards trying to keep the community modding and server operators happy. We haven't even been shown day 2 of MVM and people are already clamoring for the code behind MVM be changed to better fit all this crazy theorycrafting about what the gamemode MIGHT be like.

Class limiting is a flawed approach. It suggests that if you assign forced roles that the game will be good. It won't be. It just means the 2 or 3 engineers you have will be halfwits and the one guy that can play engineer has to watch these halfwits in frustration. The only time highlander and class limits works is when you have organised teams and matches and then you can say Bill, you be the medic...John, you play engineer and so on. Yes it sucks if you have 5 spies and 5 snipers on a team, but the truth is, forcing these guys to play a different class won't help. It's far better to let people play what class they want and use that data to see they are all buffoons. They'll see it when they lose and you'll see it when you join so you can, if you want, just hit 'change server' and find a round that will be better. Of course, from a server admin point of view the idea the best way to find a good round is to hit 'change server' isn't that appealing, hence the flawed attempts to try and mess things around instead. You can't turn a buffoon into a good player by making him play a different class, nor a team of buffoons into a good team using the same method. As I said in another post, generally speaking, increasing the number of players, reducing the number of shots you need to kill or removing the penalty for death are all designed to hide differences in skill between players and teams. Or in other words, people play on 32 man, instant spawn servers (and Robin runs around with his OP rocket launcher or people pay saigns for silly weapons and abilities) because it helps hide the fact they suck. With 12v12 with respawn timers (and things like nocrit) you will see which players on the server can play better than the others and which team is better - especially if both teams are motivated towards the objective. Their skill will be more evident (although as the comp players will tell you, 6v6 is better than 12v12 for that) But, unfortunately, it will generally result in average and below players spending a lot of time spectating and losing rounds. Which obviously for them is a worse experience than having a 3 hour round that no one wins (or that one team can trivially win because there are some trivial ways to win with instant spawn, especially when you have weapons like the dead ringer) It's a lot easier to configure a server badly than it is to get better at playing it too. So it's no real surprise there's a player base happy to play on servers configured this way. -- Dan __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hlds_linux https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit:

Re: [hlds_linux] New matchmaking and geolocation
I don't want to say ping kickers are kind of a bad idea, but ping kickers are kind of a bad idea. I don't know many people who enjoy playing with ping over 150, usually they filter themselves out - no need for administration to come in and smack people down automatically. It is a problem that should be addressed though. On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 4:53 AM, Peter Reinhold peter_va...@reinhold.dkwrote: I just did a restart of one of my TF2s, and it filled up almost immidiately after coming up, which of course is great. But, I noticed something a little odd, and hung around for few minutes to allow people to spawn in completely, and then I took a look at their pings. If I remove the few odd ones out, I am still left with an average ping of over 250ms, and only three below 100, none below 50, which would make me believe that these players are from all over europe, if not even farther away. Since we are running a 125ms high ping kicker, most players was kicked shortly thereafter, this of course deducts lot of QP points from the server, but in all honesty, being matched to a server where you have ping 250 does not seem like a very good match at all, there must be servers that are closer to you than ours. I hope that this is something that could be looked into, as this surely seems like a serious kink in the system. /Peter __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.**com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**hlds_linuxhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] The Ship - freeze on start server
yeah I did -dir . I replaced the /steam/bin/engine_i686.so file with the patched one posted earlier and it seems to be working. My TF2, CS:S, and ricochet (probably not effected by this) servers seem good, they are letting people connect to them and whatnot. And The Ship server now gets past boot up and appears to be working like any other server. So far so good! I'm at work (avoiding work) so I can't really test it myself, and my community is being a bunch of lazy asses who can't be bothered to join and test so I am not ready to sign off on it just yet - but I'm fairly confident all is well.

Re: [hlds_linux] Overflow attack to Source servers

I will spread this through the servers I know: each and every one is victim of this issue, that makes over a dozen grateful servers communities, many thanks ^^ I've checked this happens without any mods, so some official attention on this would be the perfect happy ending, but this workaround solves the problem so everything fine!

(used smac_addcmd as stated in the link you provided, but as you say SMAC wont block commands coming from the server). The command can be captured and processed prom a plugin, but in every teast I made I always got client 0 (console) as the triggerer, (of course testing from the game, through a clean client account, not from console). I think the server has never blocked me from executing status, even reproducing the attack (which is just spamming status from a game's client console). The server would block it surely if it was marked as client triggered. At least where I can personally try (TF2 dedicated, Linux), it's always executed as from console. Some other server owners are working with me on this, and this works like this on their's too (CSS and CSGO confirmed to be vulnerable to this attack too). Something that comes to my mind is if some lower addon like Metamod is actually always deflecting this command through the console; I need to try again on a clean install to check it. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/*** *hlds_linuxhttps://list.**valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/** mailman/listinfo/hlds_linuxhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit:

I'm 100% with you - if you join a premium server then really you aren't being fooled by anything.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released
I honestly can't believe this is being discussed, this change is no different from any other change - I'm starting to think the initial complaint was just brought up to stir an argument.

Re: [hlds_linux] Voice Quality
The quality of the new steam voice codec is better than the old one (slightly), but like it's reported many times in this thread the new codec doesn't allow someone to talk, stop, talk in a short period of time, and even more irritating - the sound will just up and cut out mid talking on some people. We switched back to sv_use_steam_voice 0 and it's been 100% fine since then. On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 8:38 AM, Matthew Mjelde jmatfigh...@gmail.comwrote: I use sv_use_steam_voice 0.

Re: [hlds_linux] Suddenly very low server population
It's sad to hear something like this. I run my server how I'd want every server to be run - I don't join any server EXCEPT for my server, it's the best run server out there. 24 slots, vanilla, no stupid mods, I think the biggest deal breaker might be all-talk is turned on. If you're not having fun playing on your server why would others want to play? Sometimes you have to be willing to sit around and play with 4 people and actually try to have fun - if they come back tomorrow that's 4 less people you have to impress.
