Re: [hlds] Server bans
I think he wants a sourceban like feature where a player can be banned from all servers he has and blocked too so he doesn't have to go to each server and add the ban manually. Only problem is linking the servers he has somehow to eachothers. This can be a troublesome and not so worth of effort. Not so easy to do either. -ics Ken Bateman kirjoitti: I think that would be a very hairy problem from Valve's perspective.

I don't think he means a global ban that would ban that person on every server.

Re: [hlds] Server bans
He's talking about something similar to sourcebans so you can ban a client from all your servers. Not from all servers. Valve could add a server cvar similarly to the mapcyclefile one where we can specify a path for our ban lists outside of the main mod folder.

If all of your servers run on the same box, you can perhaps symlink

Re: [hlds] Server bans
This would probably be too big of a hassle for Valve to implement into the Source engine, but you can always make a feature request on Valve's Github. If you run all your servers from the same box and the same srcds installation tree just end your server.cfg (or any other cfg file that gets executed during each map change) with the following cvars: writeip // write banned ip's to banned_ip.cfg writeid // write banned steam id's to banned_user.cfg exec banned_ip.cfg exec banned_user.cfg That way at every mapchange your server will write it's new bans to disk and then re-read the files to be up-to-date. If you're running on multiple Linux boxes you can probably sync those files regularly (every hour?) with rsync using cron. There probably are even smarter tools that can permanently check if the files have changed. On Windows... I don't know if and how it would work, but dropbox and junctions come to mind.

Re: [hlds] Server bans
OHOH Wrong direction! First execute the files to get the perm bans into the memory. After this you can write bans. In an unhappy situation (all servers are restarting at the same time) your bans get deleted. I think the solution with a symlinked banned_*.cfg is not the best to share it with all other servers. I don't know the exactly possible size, but there is a limit. Sourcebans has a workaround for this to save memory and resources. I a player enters the server, sourcebans is searching with a mysql statement in his database. If the plugin find a match, the player will be kicked and banned for 5 minutes. This saves the banned_user.cfg 2013/2/25 Rudy Bleeker rblee...@gmail.com: writeip // write banned ip's to banned_ip.cfg writeid // write banned steam id's to banned_user.cfg exec banned_ip.cfg exec banned_user.cfg ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Weird FPS drops and peaks
Hey guys, My server has been getting a lot of weird freezes and random FPS drops and I'm trying to figure out the reason. The FPS readings on the net_graph 4 view seems to be all over the place and even has higher than 66.7 values (as can be seen here: http://snag.gy/Qit49.jpg ). Is this peak normal? Could it be related to the FPS drops? If not, what could be causing it? The server is on a Windows Server Environment and it's correctly updated. It has a 30 player capacity but it usually runs on 28 + the replay bot. I'm willing to provide all the info you need, but I'm not quite sure what could be usefull, so ask away if you wanna know something I didn't state above.
