Re: [hlds] Did S2A_INFO2 packet format change?

2010-04-07 Thread Sebastian Staudt
Anyone figured out what 0x01 in EDF stands for?

I just found a GoldSrc server (69.130.74.130:27015) replying with 0x40 0x01
0x46 0x00 (+ 6 * 0x00).
If you parse this as short you get 320 and 70. So the first can't be the app
ID (always), because 320 is HL2:DM - but 70 is HL.
Although it seems most Source servers reply with their app ID (+ 6 * 0x00).

Strange.

2010/4/5 HL-SDK Synths syntron...@gmail.com

 http://svn.limetech.org/web/opensteamworks/Open%20Steamworks/CSteamID.h

 Probably this:
 ( ( ( (uint64) m_steamid.m_comp.m_EUniverse )  56 ) + ((uint64)
 m_steamid.
 m_comp.m_EAccountType  52 ) + m_steamid.m_comp.m_unAccountID );

 Sorry for rich text. Universe is most likely constant, as is account type.
 The variable is accountID, and that is available to the server.

 Usually when I run across a 64-bit steamID I can convert it to this
 CSteamID
 and get the info I need.

 I hope that helps :M

  What's the right format for the SteamID?
  64 bit for sure, but how is it encoded? Two longs (32bit) concatenated or
  what?
 
  My best guess so far is SteamID = long1 | long2  32.
 
  2010/4/3 Sebastian Staudt korak...@gmail.com
 
   Ok, seems like a first hint in the right direction. Thanks.

   EDF 0x80 seems to also include the server's SteamID now and it looks
 like
   some new flags have been added (0x10 and 0x01). 0x10 seems to contain
  the
   appid again (in a long?) and I haven't seen 0x01 be anything other
 than
   zeros.

   Hi.
  
   I'm the developer of the query library Steam Condenser (
   http://koraktor.github.com/steam-condenser) and recently I got a bug
   report
   about weird data received from CZ servers.
   I did some research and found out that all servers (GoldSrc and
 Source)
   using the new S2A_INFO2 format (see
  
 http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_queries#Source_servers_2
  )
   and
   returning additional data (extra data flag, EDF) have not the
 documented
   format for the extra data. This seems to have changed recently. Does
   anyone know what the new format is?
  
   Best regards,
  
   Sebastian

[hlds] Windows Control Panel

2010-04-07 Thread DontWannaName!
I have been using Server Checker for a while now but its becoming very dated
since its no longer being developed. It has been randomly turning my servers
off at random times. Once off they dont come back up. Does anyone know of a
replacement for Server Checker? Something software based that will restart
the servers automatically and is similar to server checker. I know of
firedaemon but its not made specifically for game servers. I am trying to
stay away from TCadmin and online control panels in general.

month, or you can donate a few buck and update (minimum) once a year. The
update process is streamlined and will not shut down currently running

Re: [hlds] Windows Control Panel

2010-04-07 Thread Andrew Armstrong
If you're not after a game control panel (why not out of interest?), you may
want to check out GameMon - http://mammoth.com.au/resources/ which may be
what you're after.

It's a watchdog program that simply monitors servers and gives you some nice
options.

'GameMon is a simple application for Windows and Linux that allows
monitoring of any game server that can be queried with QStat. GameMon
supports a variety of operations, such as the restarting of a failed game
server and the scheduled restarting of game servers.
GameMon can detect failed servers by a number of methods - checking to see
if the server is no longer queryable via QStat or checking to see if the
process has failed. It is an effective solution to aid increased uptime on
game services.
GameMon is free, open source software.'

Disclaimer: I work for Mammoth Media, the developers of the software.

Regards,
Andrew
