[hlds] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
Welcome. I am a software developer to manage the game servers. I am currently under renovation to improve the functionality of the steam game servers in my application. Improving the file is downloaded only once at the time of starting the new version, and then copy the changed files locally on all game servers, this solution would be faster and more efficient in every way. Unfortunately, that stops me is the fact I have no way of checking whether a new update came out and download the exact number. Although api provides ISteamApps / UpToDateCheck which is the ability to check the current version of the game engine required, but will not let me in any way to check whether it was updated game engine. Is there a possibility that you may have added to the api ISteamApps / UpToDateCheck parameter number build or build_date or simply the timestamp of the time when the last change was made in the game files. In this way I can fully automatically and efficiently update hundreds of servers fully automatically, without weighing my machines and steam update servers.

Re: [hlds] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
On this subject, is there any way to determine the local version of the installed srcds server? I find the steam.inf files are unreliable and only TF2 has the current client/server version in it that I could compare against the WebAPI. Is there a better way of determining when srcds servers should be updated other than the WebAPI? I looked into Steam Condenser this weekend but really didn't see anything interesting. Advice from anyone who has already automated this this would be appreciated.

I just checked CS:GO and Steam.inf + ISteamApps UpToDateCheck seems to be fine for that. What do you mean by unreliable?

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
I need the download of information that was any change to the file server, your application can now download the latest game server files to your server, and the files on the machine are always up to date, because they are assumed to be updated all game servers available in the application. For this is the most needed information retrieved from the API (as I write in PHP) that the valve is available servers more recent version of the file server. That it was the best information about the build number, date of compilation or last modified date of the file server in unix format. The ideal situation would be to such information (in terms of build number) you can download for all valve games because it would allow for easy operation of such automatic updates for all game servers available on Steam. For Valve, it is also undoubtedly very beneficial because hundreds of servers when updating will use the internal update system instead of downloading the data for each server directly from serweró steam. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
Hmm, with the new updating system (that is being rolled out slowly now to all valve games) and using a proxy aimed at Valve's update servers, one should be able to let servers update using the proxy. - update comes - automation detects update, and starts 1 server to update using the proxy. - Proxy downloads and serves the files - All other same game servers can update fast using the proxy at convenience. Sure, that needs to be done per different type server, but that is needed with any system.

I forgot to mention that in my case, I am updating a set of master/vanilla/unconfigured installations that will never ever actually start. They are instead used as referrals for symlinks. Thus, getting the info from rcon is not a viable solution.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
How we do it: Make a Steam API call with AppID and the version you currently have (0 if you've never checked.) (TF2 for example: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v0001?appid=440version=0format=json ) Grab $request-response-required_version for whatever the AppID is that you want to check. If it's a game we haven't checked before, we store the AppID and required version. If we have a current version already on record, we check if $request-response-up_to_date == FALSE. If it's not up to date, we update and store the new required version for future update checks.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
I agree, but in this way you can check the validity of the engine (its version), and my observation is that the smaller updates / amendments do not change the version number and build number, and only then that the API is not any ... 2013/3/12 Charlie sprayp...@gmail.com How we do it: Make a Steam API call with AppID and the version you currently have (0 if you've never checked.) (TF2 for example: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v0001?appid=440version=0format=json ) Grab $request-response-required_version for whatever the AppID is that you want to check. If it's a game we haven't checked before, we store the AppID and required version. If we have a current version already on record, we check if $request-response-up_to_date == FALSE.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Get compile the build number of game servers in PHP
Just a heads up that this is going to change when we release the SteamPipe update. All version numbers will be simple integers (they are actually the P4 revision numbers of the build). The a.b.c.d format is gone. The ClientVersion and ServerVersion will update with every build. The two numbers are actually redundant will always be equal. (There is a historical reason to have two numbers that isn't interesting.) As before, the PatchVersion will only change for mandatory updates. On a mandatory update, all three versions will be bumped to the same value. For an optional update, the ClientVersion and ServerVersion will get bumped, but PatchVersion will stick. Thus, you should expect steam.inf to change on every update. With the upcoming conversion of the Source engine games to SteamPipe, we will have the ability to release the server ahead of the client. This introduces extra complexities because now you can be out of date because your version is too NEW to be listed. So the WebAPI will need to be able to signal the server version currently available for download, as well as the range of versions that are acceptable. (Or something like that.) More details on that will be released when the time comes. We're hoping to release the first server and client (as an opt-in beta) very soon.

Re: [hlds] How to only recieve TF2 update emails?
As you're using Gmail create a filter that applies a label and archives the messages immediately so they skip your inbox. That way your phone won't vibrate every time you recieve a message from this list. They're not so important that you want to read them right away anyway, you probably only do your TF2 server stuff in your off hours anyway and probably from your computer, not your phone.
