Re: [External Mail] Re: [Csgo_servers] Update broke Windows servers?

Valve released an update to fix this on Monday morning, so next working day
from when it was broken.

 Because it was changed on the client as well as the server.

>From the client's perspective, a download from the server is an upload to
the client.
Therefore sv_allowupload controls downloads from the server, and
sv_allowdownload controls uploads to the server.

Re: [Csgo_servers] Valve should create a place to report cheating servers, on website

[Asher Baker]

The same has happened on the modding / server plugin front - people used to
share information pretty much freely and help each out (and server admins
willing to try their hand at coding), now it's all private in the name of
exclusivity, $$$, and laziness.
This has had a double effect of pushing away a lot of the old crowd very
quickly, so now a lot of that knowledge is lost.

Re: [Csgo_servers] Problem with .bz2 map big size > 150 MB

[Asher Baker]

Large bzip2 unpacking is disabled because people were exploiting it to
consume all available disk space on clients.

As ics said, it has been replaced by BSPZIP's compressed repacking, which
provides a better compression ratio (it uses LZMA2 iirc, which is a much
better compression algorithm all-around) and works with both in-netchannel
and fastdl downloads.

I have unapproved all plugins I could find that fall afoul of the new

 I'm not saying alliedmods represents valve's policy but that definitely
 shows that they did NOT make it clear SIX MONTHS ago.

 Doesn't dropping the knife and respawning duplicate the knife too?

You can re-use a token on multiple servers - you just can't have multiple
logged in using the same token. You only need as many tokens as you are
running concurrent instances.

This is an attack against the RCON implementation, you should use a

 the server was noticed as well - movement and shooting seem less choppy.
 At the default rate it almost feels like friction is added your movement
 slightly every few seconds. I'm not sure if that the kind of description of
 symptoms you're looking for, lol. Maybe someone else can describe it better.

 I'm not sure about now, but before this update if you had a live server

 And what about the other huger problems all servers have?

 I think there is still some issues with the servers and sessions.
  Sometimes new players cant join a server until the server becomes empty or
 restarted.
 So lets say a server has 20/24 players. Nobody can join and at some point
 those  20 players will stop playing so the server will get empty and then
 new players can start joining again.

 And I think players trying to join get could not find matching gametype
 in the console. Or session is full

 Its really hard to catch this bug tho but I can see our servers being
 full and 30 min later empty.
 I can see it several times a day and I've talked with another server
 owner saying the same thing.

  Good to know. We’ll see what we can do.



 The change to reduce packet loss was to increase buffering on our network
 sockets. This only affected Windows because the buffers on Linux defaulted
 to a reasonable size.



 Can you explain more precisely what you mean by ‘choke’? What are the
 symptoms and when do they happen? Thanks.

 Would re-exposing the variable and setting the default value or minimum

 changes made render the affects of that variable useless altogether?



 What does the change mean for Linux servers? Did they not suffer from the
 problem in the first place or?



 Thanks again. We appreciate all the information we can get.

 I agree that the old default value of 15,000 was very low. Setting it to
 128,000 would allow split packets to be transmitted much faster.



 However when net_splitpacket_maxrate was removed we switched to using the
 global data rate, which defaults to 80,000. So, if you were previously
 setting net_splitpacket_maxrate to 128,000 there should not be a dramatic
 difference now.



 The better we understand your current symptoms the better we will be able
 to understand the underlying issue and how best to address it. The change
 fixed some real packet loss problems for Windows servers so simply undoing
 the change is not a good option.



 BTW, the lack of mention of this change in the release notes was merely
 because we make too many small changes to list them all and this was
 assumed to be a small change.

 Bruce,



 The effect that most of us noticed and are now missing is that setting
 that cvar to a higher value eliminated some choke and loss especially on
 128tick and higher populated server. The difference between the default
 value and max value was very noticeable on a fully populated server.



 Honestly, I'm not sure many of us know what the variable actually did
 behind the scenes to help but experimenting with it got us better results.

equal chance (within bounds) to kill other players, the drawback is that
you may not realise you were killed for a while. This doesn't change the
fact you /were/ killed at that time, if the other player also had a very
low ping, you *would still have been killed at the exact same time*, your
client would have just realised it faster.

   Well, if it's the server who controls the game world, high pingers
 still receive an advantage.

 Let's say the lerp 1000 ms for both clients and the server tick is 50,
 which means the server sends out a packet every 20 ms. The client's
 cl_updaterate is also 50, which means the clients send out a packet every
 20 ms

 Let's redo the above example. My ping is 5 and my opponent's is 45. At
 1000 the server sends out a processed packet, where I have been running
 from south to north for a long time and my opponent is aiming at me. At
 1045, my opponent receives the packet. His client then rendered what
 happened at 945 ms using the packets it just received and the packets it
 received at 1005 and 1025.

 At 1045, my opponent killed me with his AWP. Then his client sends a
 packet containing this command to the server at 1060. It arrives at 1105.
 Then the server compares where I was at 945. Because the interpolation on
 his client is perfect, the server confirms the kill. At 1120, the server
 sends out the packet containing the confirmation to my client. And it
 arrives at 1105.

 My client is trying to render what happened at 1005 according to the last
 3 packets I received at 1105 (containing what happened at 945), 1085
 (containing what happened at 925)  and 1065 (containing what happened at
 905). And guess what? The packet says I was already dead at 945. So even
 after I ran behind the crate in this 60 ms, I was still killed.

 That's should be the correct explanation for what really happened in my
 server.

 So please tell me how I can avoid being killed 60 ms ago?

 In the lag compensation mechanism, the high-ping players dictates the game
 world, not the low-ping players.


 Actually, the server controls the game mode. The lag compensation
 mechanism rewinds time for players of all ping so that what they see on
 their screen is what they're interacting with. When you shoot a player,
 even if you have 5ms lag time, the server goes and rewrites history so that
 what you shoot is what you were aiming at. When a player with 300ms lag
 does the same thing, the server rewrites history (just more history) too.

 There's no advantage or disadvantage to be had depending on your ping - in
 fact without lag compensation, players with high ping would be severely
 disadvantaged. What's happening with lag compensation is not that you were
 sentenced to death 100ms ago, but rather you were running for 100ms based
 on a prediction that turned out to be false - the prediction that nobody
 killed you in that time. Your death is retroactive.

 My game world doesn't have the final say, because if it is, I shouldn't

 Let's say the server time now is 100 (unit: ms). Let's assume itt takes no
 time for server to process the received packets. That means when the server
 receives a packet, it can immediately send out the packet containing the
 processed game world to both players. And both players' game client can
 render the received packet right away.

 My ping is 5 and my opponent's is 45. At 100 the server sends out a
 processed packet, where I have been running from south to north for 10 ms
 and my opponent is aiming at me. At 145, my opponent receives the package,
 his game client uses the packet containing data of what I was doing at 95
 to interpolate (predict) where I should be rendered on his screen at 145.

 If I suddenly stopped and started running reversely at 96, his client is
 unable to correctly predict it, because the packet he received only
 contains what I was doing at 95 (100-5). His client still thinks that I am
 running to north. After he hit me on his screen, his client

 In the most recent Steam Client Update, it appears a new feature was added
 to
 the server browser:

 -Added IP tracking to game server favorites. Favorites will automatically
 update to new server IP addresses if the game server is using a persistent
 account.

 After doing some research and digging around, I was only able to find
 mention of it in some recent TF2 patch notes. This is taken from the
 February 7th, 2014 client update notes:

 -Added the server command *sv_setsteamaccount* for logging in with a
 persistent game server account using a login token. Login tokens may be
 acquired via the IGameServersService/CreateAccount web API. Using a login
 token is not required to run a game server, but allows Steam users to
 continue to access your game server from their favorites list if your game
 server changes IP in the future.

 My question is, am I missing something regarding CS:GO's access to this new
 feature of the server browser? Or is it truly limited to just TF2 right
 now?
 If it is not now, I think it would be extremely beneficial for server
 owners
 and players to have this feature. When one of your favorite servers changes
 host/IPs, steam will automatically update your favorites to the new IP
 without having to go through the whole manual changing of favorites and
 renaming old servers telling people to add the new one. Currently when game
 servers change hosts/IPs, they usually suffer a significant population
 loss.

 Greetings fellow server operators,

 I really liked the idea of workshop servers, as it finally offered an
 alternative to using a FastDL http server to run custom maps, but I gave up
 on it after trying for ages to get a workshop server to launch with VAC
 enabled.

 I have followed the official guide to the letter (
 https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/CSGO_Workshop_For_Server_Operators),
 but it simply won't activate VAC. VAC enables skin drops and clients to use
 skins: a fairly essential part of the CS:GO experience, in my opinion.

 The problem seems to rest with this line:

 -ip YOUR.PUBLIC.IP.ADDR.HERE

 because if you remove it, the server's VAC is activated, but the server
 becomes unjoinable.

 I'm running Windows, all ports are forwarded to the right IP, no SourceMod
 is getting in the way, I've set up my collections and starting map
 correctly and the -authkey works as well.

 I have spent 50+ hours scratching my head with this. Has anyone achieved
 the above? If so, any help would be mega appreciated!

Re: [Csgo_servers] Server Jitter/Lag on 128 tick Server with 24 players

[Asher Baker]

1. Real-time priority will degrade performance in most cases.
2. Virtual hardware is fine as long as SRCDS gets enough resources - there
is no inherent problem with VMs.
3. Hyper-threading is almost pointless on a machine dedicated to SRCDS, as
it doesn't make use of multiple threads for the heavy lifting, raw clock
speed is a lot more important (although it may be worthwhile for squeezing
some perf out if you're trying to run more servers than your hardware can
comfortably handle).

 I have noticed that our server consistently gets rather laggy when near
 full.  I currently run two 33 player servers (16v16 with 1 spectator).
  When the player count gets above 24, our 128 tick server starts to lag
 below 128 ticks.  The only plugins/addons running on the servers are
 MetaMod and SourceMod.  I originally thought it was a misconfiguration on
 our server, but I see that other servers with high player counts (that
 aren't even 128 tick) have this same latency problem.  I have asked our
 server host for assistance but they assure me it's not a hardware issue.  I
 contacted Steam support for assistance and they referenced this mailing
 list.  I was hoping a SRCDS developer would be able to work with us to get
 the latency issues resolved.

 Some tasks are performed in parallel in the engine and game code, so do
 NOT set affinity on your srcds instances. Let the OS choose which cores
 which servers run on. Some recent TF2 CPU/lag spikes were a result of
 server operators forcing srcds onto a single core.

Re: [Csgo_servers] mp_warmup_start/end exploit is now a big problem

[Asher Baker]

You should open a ticket with your host if they're not providing
updates (even if it is only optional), you clearly don't have the
access to run steamcmd yourself (the install/update tool). The patch
is optional as clients do not require it to play on the server, so in
order to minimize disruption it can be applied whenever individual
servers want to (or possibly never, at least until the next mandatory
one, if they've already worked around it).

And while I understand your frustration, if you'd installed the server
yourself you would know how to update it, which is why I felt no need
to include instructions to that effect. However, having gone the easy
route of paying a GSP to host it, you're at their mercy and should be
having this conversation with their support channels, no one here can
offer anything but workarounds using server plugins.

On Sun, Jan 13, 2013 at 2:06 PM, Kenny kenlawren...@yahoo.com wrote:
 Pardon, how exactly do YOU update a server?  Please don't make assumptions.  
 I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of registering in half a dozen 
 places in order to get answers to this problem.

 Many (most?) Cs:go communities use managed- server hosts which provide only 
 ftp access and a web gui to install updates and to restart the server;  I do 
 not have access to our clan's server control panel outside of a crippled one 
 that only provides restart capability, but I'm told that there is no patch 
 pending.  Only mandatory ones have been pushed to the server panel in the 
 past.  So, we're not sure what to do.  Still wonder why this isn't a 
 mandatory update.   If there is another way to get access to the files, and 
 if ftp access also allows for updating core server files to be updated (this 
 I do not know- we may only have the ability to modify files in certain 
 folders -- and we certainly do not have ssh) then it would be helpful to know 
 where this patch has been archived...

 I realize that in part this is a host support issue, but it seems improper 
 that we should have to jump through hoops to get information about something 
 so fundamentally important.  I think the main problem here is the labeling of 
 the patch as optional when clearly it is necessary.Optional means the 
 host doesn't have to provide it... But as evidenced, it is a show stopper, 
 and clearly a majority of community servers are still vulnerable days after 
 the patch was published... This is not my area of expertise, but from 
 a purely observational perspective, I think it's safe to say that the problem 
 has not been solved if all of the top 20 North American community servers are 
 empty late on a saturday night.  I am not interested in 5v5 matchmaking 
 servers, but I have heard that some still aren't patched.

 Absurd (and original poster).

 Paying a GSP can be done in two ways... one where you pay the GSP to have
 full access (like a virtual dedicated server (VDS)) or a fully managed
 server (whether fully managed VDS or simply a fully managed game server).

 If you have a self managed VDS (or somehow ssh access to your install and
 subsequent steamcmd) then you have full update capabilities and should know
 how to update your servers with the optional update that has been available
 for a few days now.  If you depend on your GSP for any/all updates (aka the
 easy route), then you can only use alternative work arounds until your GSP
 updates your servers to fix this issue, which was already addressed with an
 optional update.

 As Asher already stated, this complaint needs to be addressed to the game
 provider since it appears they hold the reigns for any/all updates in this
 case.

 Does reporting cheaters on their profile actually do anything? I was
 wondering if submitting proof of cheaters would be enough to get them 
 admin
 assigned cooldowns so they could no longer play on matchmaking servers.

 This guy (http://steamcommunity.com/id/Kureneko/ ID: 0:1:56990980) was
 speed hacking and aimbotting in a competitive matchmaking game, and we
 couldn't do anything except wait for the game to end.

 He has screenshots on his own profile of him cheating in css:
 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=108133681
 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=110580311

 Demo of him cheating in csgo if the screenshots he took himself aren't
 enough proof: http://www.mediafire.com/?lwtcbp6j2228lua

 His friend http://steamcommunity.com/id/13874893274/ was in the game
 with him and stopping him from getting kicked. I suspect this
 http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197975901831 is the cheaters
 alt account as they have the same name and are both friends with the same
 person.

sounds like this relates to the same thing.

 Hey,

 

 this happens, when there are no more spawn points available in a map. I
 guess this map has only 12 for each team.

 You need to add more spawn points for a team (per plugin or editing the
 .bsp) to get rid of that message.

 Hello,

  

 we have a strange problem with our CSGO server. Maxplayers is set to 25
 and sv_visiblemaxplayers is set to 24, this setting allows a hidden
 reserved slot. SourceTV ist running.

  

 If the server is maxed out with 24/24 human players and a new player joins
 (25/24), he cannot join any team, the server says “Team xxx is full.”

  

 How can this happen and what is the workaround?

  

 Best regards

  

 Ronny

Re: [Csgo_servers] console bans, and auto vacating bots

[Asher Baker]

Can you clarify how you have the bots setup and what you're seeing?

With a mode of fill, a quota of 10, and 20 slots you should see the
following (from what I understand of the documentation):
0 players = 10 bots
5 players = 10 bots
10 players = 10 bots (probably 9 however, as I believe the game leaves a
slot free so more players can join)
15 players = 5 bots (same as above, but 4)
20 players = 0 bots

 should be possible... but what you want sounds custom and is not part of
 the game itself. Autovacate in my mind works like you have explained it..
 even in CZ when the player is live the bot then leaves.  Though this
 sounds more like an issue for the sourcemod website not the mailing list :)

 Oh, I'm fine with the round time. I've got it set to a 30 minute round

 problem is that it seems that GO is designed to only deal with bots
 upon round end. So if a player joins, a bot won't vacate because it
 isn't yet the end of the round. Or if a player leaves, a bot won't
 join because it isn't yet the end of a round. I'm looking for a
 workaround for that problem.

 have no problems at all when dead or spectate to bring up mani admin to
 control the server. While in-game, bring up console and start binding keys
 for your admin menu:
 type: bind Kp_End menuselect 1
 type: bind Kp_DnArrow menuselect 2
 type: bind Kp_PgDn menuselect 3

 Release Notes for 10/25/2012



 [ SPECTATING ]

 - Resurrected SourceTV as 'GOTV.'

 - Added a map overview that displays players, events, grenade
 detonations, etc. Can be drawn on in a select-able colored pen when
 spectating or if the sv_competitive_official_5v5 convar is set to 1 on the
 server or if the client convar mapoverview_allow_client_draw is set on the
 client (drawings are not currently networked to other players).

 - Added free camera to spectator modes cycle.

 clamped hud_scaling to 0.95.

 - Added convar 'cl_spec_show_bindings' that toggles the visibility of the
 spectator key bindings.

 - Added spectator ability to toggle competitive scoreboard player data
 using the 'drop' command.

 - Extended team clan name support to the Team Select Screen. To use team
 clan name, all humans should match their Team name in Games-Settings, or
 the server admin can use the 'mp_teamname_1' and 'mp_teamname_2 convars.'

 - After halftime, teams no longer switch sides visually on the spectator
 screen, they now stay where they are and the team colors switch instead.

 - Created a server convar that lets you swap the default player side
 position manually (CTs on right and T's on left) called
 mp_spec_swapplayersides.

 - Made the hotkey that's assigned to jump to a player not change after
 half-time.

 - You can now display a country flag next to your custom team name on the
 spectator scoreboard by setting mp_teamflag_1/2 to ISO Alpha-2 country
 code of the country you want to display.



 [ CLASSIC COMPETITIVE ]

 - Introduced Skill Groups, the new Skill Group emblems are now visible
 in the main menu and at the end of a competitive match. A players' Skill
 Group will be displayed after they achieve at least 10 competitive match
 wins.

 - Reworked conditions of valid match leaving: A vote to concede becomes
 available to the team that lost a player. Otherwise the match continues.

 - Number of players searching for a competitive match will

He was replying to Intoxicated bawNg's list of other issues, which
are caused by trying to use the menu in the tiny amount of time
between it being reopened (OB radio menu's automatically dismiss after
a few seconds, server plugins workaround this by reopening the menu
repeatedly until manually closed) on OrangeBox games, and are
unrelated to the issue at hand.

 it already is like that.

 Apache logs tell me that the files download with the code 200 and i was

These are interfaces that have been around since the very early
versions of the Source engine - the only reason they're not working
correctly while dead are because of HPE's botched ScaleForm
integration into the Source engine using manual input handling instead
of commands.

 No, it's not the fault of a plugin. Menus are plain unusable when you are

 And SourceMod does not use some kind of black magic way to open menus, those
 are the default menus we are talking about.

 Hi guys.

 I'm quite appalled by the number of people whining here.

 How, on earth, are you guys able to judge what issues are important
 or not ? Or what they are working on or not ?

 Because you don't care about an issue doesn't mean everyone think the
 same way. All issues are important. Not to the same level, agreed, but
 still.
 Stop saying they fix things nobody cares about, it's just plain wrong.
 With the same reasoning, why do you think they're not working on
 other issues too ? Did it ever occured to you that they might ALSO be
 working on more important issues, but that they just take more time
 on those, to release a decent fix, that will work, instead of another
 reason for you to whine ?
 This is even more true when we know that most of you guys have no
 clue, really. Most of you are far from being developpers, and even
 further from being professional.

 These guys spend part of their weeks working to improve this game.
 The majority of their work on CS:GO is about fixing issues. They
 release patches at a reasonable rate.
 Do you really think they don't give a crap ? Then why do they keep
 working ? They could've released the game and moved on.

 I don't even know how they can remain motivated while working for
 such a community. My point ? You are babies (well most of you).

 Originally, a mailing list is used to address issues to the devs. So
 address them, and that's it. If people want to add their experience,
 it's cool, it helps even more. But quit whining. IT DOESN'T HELP.

 Start by doing their job before saying they're incapable of doing it.

 And before anyone says something stupid, NO, i'm not saying they're
 doing a perfect job.

Re: [Csgo_servers] 1.20.2.x

[Asher Baker]

Any chance of, ya know, after all this time, getting server-plugin
radio menus working while observing / dead?

 Without a callstack to compare against, I can't say for certain whether or 
 not we fixed the one you experienced.

 Release notes for 10/11/2012

 [ Minor Fixes ]
 -Fixed bomb defusal resetting when a server lags below 20fps.
 -Fixed a case where the round and timer were not being updated when 
 spectating.
 -Fixed another case where warmup alerts panel didn't show for late joiners.
 -Fixed a crash that would happen when you died that associated with the 
 spectator panel.
 -Fixed general scaleform crashes.
 -Made radio commands also selectable via the keypad numbers.
 -Fixed enemies on radar that were above/below you showing their up/down 
 indicators rotated.
 -Made alive/dead state on the spectator UI easier to read.
 -Replaced mp_teamname_t and mp_teamname_ct with mp_teamname_1 and 
 mp_teamname_2 to disambiguate convars from sides in a mode that supports 
 team switching at halftime. Now the names follow the teams after the switch. 
 ( mp_teamname_1 is the team that first plays CT ).
 -Changed spectator HUD to show which primary weapon each player has 
 purchased during freeze time.
 -Made spectator HUD show all grenades carried by each player.

 [ Classic Competitive Changes ]
 -Added an explanation about competitive mode rules to better explain its 
 difference from other modes.
 -Added save/restore of cash for competitive matches: When a player 
 disconnects and reconnects in competitive mode, their pre-disconnect money 
 will now be preserved.
 -Added a button requiring players to ready-up when a competitive match is 
 found. When all 10 players ready-up then the matchmaking servers lock them 
 in for the match. Abandoning at any point after clicking the ACCEPT button 
 will result in Competitive cooldown.
 -Increased competitive cooldowns to 30 minutes for first offense, 2 hours 
 for second offense and so on.
 -Kicking a player no longer offers a vote to continue. The game will proceed 
 with a bot in place of the kicked player.

Re: [Csgo_servers] STEAM_1:x:xxxxx ... STEAM_0:x:xxxxx .. ?

[Asher Baker]

The number there is meant to represent the Steam Universe, it's meant
to be 1 (which is Public), the 0 being used was the bug.

Personally, I hope it doesn't get changed back, as it'll just repeat
this drama again. The engine only guarantees it's an identifying
string for that player for that game.

 Here we don't (and never will) use plugins like sourcebans.
 Our own plugins are already able to handle STEAM_0 and STEAM_1 formats, but
 that's not the topic. The usability in general could be better.

  - Why two different entries for the same user in a banned_user.cfg?

  - Why no unique SteamIDs for the same users in serverlogs from different
 games?

  - Why do we have to remove the strings STEAM_0: and STEAM_1: when we
 want to work with SteamIDs + the support for multiple valve games just to
 identify the same user?

 Where is the big deal in just updating the engine, that it reports STEAM_0
 instead of STEAM_1 like it's already done for Orange Box games?
 Is there any real(!) reason, why CS:GO uses STEAM_1:x:x ?

 I personally hate sourcebans and I'm sure others do as well. I don't
 know why all these threads degenerate into This is only a problem if
 you don't use X third party plugin. These are real issues that valve
 can address - we shouldn't need to use a myriad of other plugins just
 to get the functionality we desire. If I had to use one plugin for
 every thread on this site my server wouldn't register at all!

 (hey... maybe that's why nobody can tell the difference between 128
 and 64 tick, because the servers are so loaded down with this and that
 plugin to fix all the problems because every time they are brought up
 they are dismissed with just use this third party plugin instead...)

  is it really necessary, that steam ids have the format STEAM_1:x:x

  CS:GO?
 
  In all other games (except l4d, not sure how it's there) it's
  STEAM_0:x:x.
 
 
 
  The x digits are equal for all games, so I don't really understand why
  using a different format.
 
  It's just annoying.
 
 
 
  For the orange box it get fixed 3-4 years ago:
 
  http://store.steampowered.com/news/2252
 
 
 
   - Updated the engine to report SteamIDs using the Steam_0 format

  of Steam_1
 
 
 
  I would appreciate a similar update for CS:GO

Re: [Csgo_servers] Arms Race Server crashes on map change

[Asher Baker]

The watchdog is designed to detect if the server is hung and restart
it if it is. Basically, your server took too long to do something in a
frame, in general you should try and find the cause of that instead of
disabling the watchdog.

It's exactly as-possible as any other Source game, unlike Source 2009,
it's just that no one has put in the time to do the requisite reverse

 In 1.6 and even source you can use Col demoplayer to get information, but
 not working witch CSGO, wrong protocol.

 So how can I get the info I need from demos?

Re: [Csgo_servers] Mirroring downloadurl in console

[Asher Baker]

What would be the point? it would be trivial to see the HTTP requests
with a network sniffer.

The correct solution is to limit this on your web server, the game
client passes the server's IP and port as part of the request headers.

 Yep I sure could go through all that trouble to find a workaround. But I was

 Couldn't you just firewall the box with the maps on it? Then you can
 whitelist your server, which should be handling the requests. I do believe
 that is what we do, I don't handle that end of it.

 Unless someone has rcon, they can't retrieve most server convars'

 to
 be 0, so it is telling me what my local set up is, not what the server's

 At least, I assume that is how CSGO is.

Re: [Csgo_servers] Getting a server identity for a CS:GO server, when I don't own the game

[Asher Baker]

 What I mean't wasn't for installing the server, but to create a server
 identify for it, like you do with cl_gameserver_create_identity in TF2.
 Or maybe this isn't used in CS:GO yet?
It isn't.

 (Although I can see that it assigns the server an anonymous ID upon starting)
That's completely different and all recent Source games print that.
