Re: [hlds] [TWI Serveradmins] Killing Floor 2 Beta Server Hosting Open For All
Something doesn't add up as we aren't seeing CPU usage anywhere near that high. I double-checked a full server (6 players) running on an E3-1245 V2 and its using on average 1.2% CPU 740MB of RAM. Looking over the CPU graphs I am seeing a peak of no more than 3%. If you are seeing upwards of 12% on an E3-1270 V3 I am guessing either something is misconfigured or you are running your servers widely different from ours (which I rather doubt there is too much different). -Lane On 4/15/2015 9:19:32 PM, John lists.va...@nuclearfallout.net wrote: If he only has a 2-core VDS on an E5-2690, 10% (20% normalized) CPU is not that far off.

Re: [hlds] [TWI Serveradmins] Killing Floor 2 Beta Server Hosting Open For All
It defaults to 27015 when you have the server running on the default game port. The ports also appear to increment together, if you increase the game port by 5 the query port increases by 5. You can also set the query port in the engine config, will post it up when I get back to the office as you have to add the line manually.

[hlds] Enabling automatic updates for server admins via the UpToDateCheck URL
Hi Jared I am the author of a linux-based management tool for srcds servers called wrench. If you ever make your game server Linux compatible, I will look into adding support for it with my tool. I have not seen any info about automatic updates yet, so I wanted to make sure you are aware how some of srcds-based (TF2, CSGO, etc) game servers allow for automatic updates by tool authors like myself. Steam has their WebAPI which allows polling of information of certain properties for each AppID. One of them is UpToDateCheck. For example, for TF2, I can poll the following URL to find out if there is a client/server update: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v1?appid=440version=1format=xml The required_version is currently 2698188. Each time Valve issues an update for TF2 servers, this field gets updated. When that happens, my tool automatically uses SteamCMD to shut down servers, update them, them start again. For FK2, you have the following: Killing Floor 2 Client AppID: 232090 Killing Floor 2 Server AppID: 232130 Thus your Client info URL is: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v1?appid=232090version=1format=xml And the Server info URL is: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v1?appid=232130version=1format=xml I see that you have these enabled, but it looks like you are not currently updating these fields with each release and just some placeholder data in there. It would be very helpful to us tool authors to have this field maintained during the release cycle, and be a checklist item during the release of server and client updates. Simply increment this version on each release, and our tools can automatically determine if an update has been released and we can enable server automatic updates as necessary. Thanks for your attention. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] [TWI Serveradmins] Killing Floor 2 Beta Server Hosting Open For All
Yes, Lane, your numbers seem to be overall CPU usage for the machine. Since you have an E3-1245v2, you should multiply by 4 or 8 (depending on if you have HT enabled) to get the normalized (one-CPU-equivalent) usage, which is a more useful number that you can apply to other hardware configurations. -John On 4/16/2015 7:14 AM, Steven Hartland wrote: Normalise your CPU to a single core.
