Re: [hlds_linux] Killing Floor Dedicated Server Install Files Missing

Re: [hlds_linux] mp_timelimit issue?

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d2: how to shutdown via cron?
I think he means a way to automatically restart srcds and update when one is announced. I have never done it myself, but I imagine there is a way to hook these announcements, either with a sourcemod plugin or by monitoring the output of the console/screen session.

Re: [hlds_linux] No VAC on TF2 Server.....
If a server can not bind to an address, than the chances of anything network related (inluding VAC, let alone clients being able to join your server) working, are slim to none. Check your startup line and ensure it contains a +ip line to bind it to an address, or, that your local hosts file correctly lists your dns against the correct IP. In my experience, when an IP is not specified, srcds will bind to the ip corresponding to the local DNS resolve. On 29/01/2010 10:13 PM, h...@gmx.de wrote: You mean that the IP cannot be binded ?

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] TF2 server multi-threaded support
But it's at capacity on one core. The process chews clocks, so if you had a Dual Core 2Ghz it's currently only got 1000Mhz of clock to play with, whereas if it were multithreaded it could spread the load over both cores, meaning it now has 2000Mhz to play with and can manage it's load much better than just thrashing the one core.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D/L4D2 + NAT
The problem isn't lan games. The problem is hosting a dedicated server behind a NAT firewall. Unfortunately you have missed the point entirely.

Re: [hlds_linux] Offline LAN server
In my experience, ./srcds_run: line 337: 2889 Alarm clock $HL_CMD Is caused by a routing or other issue when trying to contact master servers. Which is silly I know when the whole point is attempting a lan-only server. Try adding -insecure to your startup so that it does not attempt VAC security.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Available
That's what we are saying. With most modifications that you make to the server, it will change tags to suit, the same way in TF2 where if you turned crits off it would add the tag nocrit or something similar. The way the lobby system works is when you chose a mode and then when it displays the servers, it is looking for those tags. So if you chose survival in the lobby system, it would display servers with survival in their tag string. I think you are getting us mixed up with forcing a server into a mode, as opposed to a server showing up as that mode in the lobby system. gamead...@127001.org wrote: It _must_ broadcast it somehow, because joining via steamgroup only show servers of the currently selected type... no idea how to find out though To the OP: can I ask why it matters?

Re: [hlds_linux] [L4D2] Bug awarding Confederacy Of Crunches achievement
What you have posted really belongs on the VALVe Support system. https://support.steampowered.com/ Joonas Lehtolahti wrote: Yesterday I played on my own Linux L4D2 server with a friend. It was The Parish campaign on easy difficulty. During the game two other friends joined so we finished the map with all four survivors being human players. During the campaign I only used melee weapons and accessories (molotovs, pain pills, etc.). When we got to the rescue vehicle, me and my friend both got the Bridge Burner achievement for completing the campaign. I should have also got the Confederacy of Crunches achievement for using only melee weapons during the campaign. When we got the Bridge Burner achievements, I did see in the upper right corner the Steam messages for both achievements, but on the chat area we only saw the Bridge Burner achievement. So now when I look at the Achievements list in game, it shows me that I have unlocked the Confederacy of Crunches achievement, but when I look at my Steam Community page, it shows that I have not unlocked it yet. So now I guess I need to clear my local achievement data and finish another campaign with melee only to get it awarded to me properly. I guess it's noteworthy to say that the Steam Community activity report displays we getting all the achievements again we got earlier. For example My History says: Nov 19 You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: VIOLENCE IN SILENCE, SOB STORY, BEAT THE RUSH, GONG SHOW, STACHE WHACKER, CL0WND, FRIED PIPER, LEVEL A CHARGE, ACID REFLEX, CRASS MENAGERIE, A RIDE DENIED, HEAD HONCHO, DEAD IN THE WATER, DISMEMBERMENT PLAN, BURNING SENSATION, ARMORY OF ONE, CHAIN OF COMMAND, SEPTIC TANK, CLUB DEAD, TANK BURGER, PRICE CHOPPER, MIDNIGHT RIDER, RAGIN' CAJUN, WEATHERMAN, BRIDGE BURNER. Nov 18 You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: SOB STORY, HEAD HONCHO, LEVEL A CHARGE. You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: ARMORY OF ONE, PRICE CHOPPER, ACID REFLEX, A RIDE DENIED, BURNING SENSATION, CRASS Note that the achievements from Nov 18 are listed again in Nov 19! This seems to be case with all the friends who played on the same server too when I look at my activity report; all their achievements are displayed again at Nov 19. Note also that later the same day some of the other people did get the Confederacy Of Crunches achievement on that server without problem. I am not exactly sure if this is a bug in the Linux srcds server, the game, Steam servers, or where, but apparently something went wrong there because the game now thinks I have the achievement but the Steam community profile says that I have not. Also that the previous achievements are displayed as being achieved again is intuitively something that should not happen. I hope this is being looked at, and of course some kind of explanation would be welcome. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] Source Engine Not Traversing NAT
Hi All, To break the L4D2 monotony, quick question regarding how the srcds engine handles NAT. I notice that within a NAT network you obviously won't have much luck connecting to a srcds server on the external IP, regardless of how much configuration you do. But my question is whether this is a limitation of NAT, or a limitation of the srcds engine. The reason I ask is, I have a particular machine that hosts both srcds and unreal engine-based games. The unreal engine games are able to handle NAT correctly (as in, I can specify a connect to my external IP and it will correctly NAT through to the box). However, I can not do the same with anything srcds-based (CSS, TF2, L4D e.t.c). Any ideas? To be brutally honest my knowledge of how NAT works is limited. The box is a Debian machine if that matters.

Re: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Not Traversing NAT
Thanks :) Yeah, I want to know why the unreal engine can do it and srcds can't. All ports are forwarded correctly as you would expect. UPnP is disabled on the router I am using (I can't stand it, causes more issues than it's worth). No firewalls on any machines on the NAT side of things either. As for the srcds games, I've tried all types of port triggering, address mapping e.t.c to no avail.

Afraid not. Router supports NAT Loopback and is working fine (the host is just a box I use here for testing on a local DSL connection). There is no issue connecting to other, non-srcds based servers using the domain name, which is NAT'd to the local network, on the same host. Domain Name vs IP Address makes no difference. I suppose the answer I am looking for is wether this is a srcds, a linux/other os related issue. I'm fairly confident it's not a network/routing issue as I have other, non-srcds based games hosted on that box and they are working fine using NAT Loopback.

Re: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Not Traversing NAT
It looks like I need to learn a bit more about how NAT and DMZ work together... stuck the box in question in a Virtual DMZ and works fine. At the risk of proving how little I know about NAT/DMZ, does this mean that effectively all ports are open, but packets are only forwarded as per the policies in place? Thanks in advance.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 server requirements
I think you'll find those saying they are running anything more than 4-8 servers on something like a Dual 3GHz are talking about idle servers. Here's a nice experiment, go start a L4D lobby (one only) and let it fill. Wait for an infected wave and some specials. Look at your CPU usage. I would tentatively only go as high as 5-6 servers on a Xeon for this reason. L4D servers are highly susceptible to loss of frame rate too.

Re: [hlds_linux] [english 100%] Re: Kernel and Perfomance
I think what LinuxMail is trying to say is when it comes to Server FPS it's not like there is a pool you can draw from. Limiting the max_fps just means the server will not exceed that framerate.

I haven't tested it since they introduce ms_force_dedicated_server, so maybe you can also connect to one from the lobby now. Does anyone know if this works? It just seems like you might want to lock a server down so that only certain people can play on it.

So, if you and a friend want to play co-op on your server without people from the public joining in the other two slots, you really have no good way to do that. Is this correct?

I don't think you even read my past two emails. Are you saying there is something wrong with using the console to choose a specific server? Do this for me.

As for your second point, I still don't understand what you are trying to say. If you want to play on a server, with friends only, you can either; 1) Make a steam group for you and your friends, set the server GroupID and it will be limited to that group, or; 2) Create a lobby via the menu, set it to Friends Only and invite your friends.

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 Update Available
You are missing the point. Clock drift is not just the time is wrong. The clock is just a timing mechanism for the kernel, and when this is changed drastically (1 second) it can do all sorts of weird things, in your case locking up some resource/clock-intensive software (a high-tickrate CSS server). Just because an application freezes doesn't mean it's the application with the problem.

Believe, it does not need to stop when a time drift occurs, HL2/OB based servers can handle such a time drift without stopping the server. Because time/ticks is how the game server knows what players did in the last second, and how to predict for the next second of gameplay (at a very high level). The error is serious enough to warrant stopping the server - if they removed this error message, your next complaint would be that the game begins to suffer horrible prediction/lag every time this message would have appeared.
