[hlds] CS:GO voting for mapgroup
I just set up my community's new CS:GO server. The new SteamCMD system is well documented on the Source SDK wiki luckily, so it wasn't too hard. One thing I noticed that you have to set a mapgroup in the launch parameter of your server, replacing the old mapcycle system. But what if players want to change the mapgroup, can they vote for that? I want my players to be able to play both the bomb defusal and hostage map rotation. I know you can make custom mapgroups, but these probably exclude you from the quickplay pool? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] TF2 server memory usage - need some answers
I'm running Sourcemod and gameMe too. Your setup is very similar (although much for powerful) to what we have, yet our TF2 servers keep on claiming RAM until there's so little left that it affects performance. Do your servers have replay enabled? Our CSS surf server goes up to 400MB btw so I wonder how you keep it all under 200MB. This is very annoying. What could even cause such varying performance experiences? I'm going to do a new test run with Sourcemod and replay disabled, but I'm not expecting any miracles. 2011/8/15 Team BOOM! teamb...@comcast.net ** We’re running seven (7) 24-slot TF2 servers and 2 CSS servers on a Windows 2008 RS SP1 dual Quad Core Xeon box with 16 GB of RAM. We use RAID 5 for disk management with 3 drives. The TF2 servers are busy and many remain full most of the day, the CSS ones are not so much any more. ** ** On rare occasions, an instance of SRCDS for TF2 will climb to right around 500 MB of RAM, but I haven’t monitored things very closely to see why one server might have done that. Most of the time I check them, the TF2 instances are around 320 for an empty sever to about 390 - 400 MB on a full one. The CSS instances usually hover well below 200 MB. Our servers never hang or need a manual restart. They will run without a hitch for over as week without a crash until I restart the box after I do an occasional Windows update. We’re running Metamod and SourceMod with a few plugins, no Eventscripts. We also use gameMe stats and SourceBans. The SourceBans MySql and website are both hosted on the game server box. ** ** It sounds like I’m bragging but I don’t mean to. I’m honestly very, very surprised at how stable everything has been for the past few months on our end. After nearly 7 years of running SRCDS servers, this is one of the few times I really can’t complain about their stability. With that said, I’ll continue to monitor them a little more closely and if I find something useful that explains the occasional memory increases you are seeing, I’ll report back.

[hlds] TF2 replay system, a few issues
Three of my TF2 servers are using the replay system, which is quite a wonderful tool for clients but not so much for servers right now. There's two issues, one quite clear, the other which I only suspect: * The file cleanup is horrible. If you don't clean up the old replay data yourself you could end up with millions of files totalling a terabyte of data after a month or so. I have a cronjob doing cleanup every morning around 3:00AM but before that it was a horror. This needs to be fixed. I suspect a server loses track of replay data when it crashes, so my guess is it needs to know what to clean up when the server is restarting. * Memory usage. For some reason, ever since the replay update, my 3 (24-slot) TF2 servers seems to leak memory, claiming up to 800MB of RAM before I forcefully restart them because they affect server performance. I can't say for sure the replay system is the cause of this, so I'd like others to share their experiences to either confirm or challenge my claim. Hope I'll get some informative feedback. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Available
Our servers were running a few subtle mods that made use of that functionality, and it's sad to see it removed. I do hope Valve considers reversing those changes, servers like mine lose their uniqueness because of it. Why was the functionality removed anyway? - Clavus 2010/5/2 Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald voo...@voogru.com Are there any other mods/plugins that are effected by this other than the 2 listed on the petition. It breaks anything that wants to attach a model to a player. Not just hats or weapons. There is a variety of ways this can be used for creativity and this essentially breaks it, purposely. I usually don't ever complain when they make changes to the game and break plug-ins, usually those are side-effects of them making other changes, this changed was targeted and intentional. The petition was just an alternative use of my time, either I was going to spend time circumventing the existing restriction (which would probably get fixed if they kept this policy), or I could spend the time asking them nicely to reverse this policy and get the community involved. Also, this doesn't prevent server ops from issuing overpowered weapons or other things that drastically affect game play. All that happens is the client doesn't render the model. I wasn't going to post this petition to the list (prefer to do so on other community sites), but since it's here I figured I'd explain it a little.

The iterative testing/fixing cycle continues until they get to the point where they are willing to release it with the known bugs. Code freeze never really happens because something always comes up that requires a code change. You grab a snapshot, you call it a code freeze to make management happy, you test the snot out of it, and if you are happy you release it. If not, you change the code and freeze it again. In the Valve world, demo = beta = code freeze so they can do bug fixes. The fact that they are making last minute changes doesn't mean they did or did not have a code freeze. It simply means there are still bugs that they are working on, and the arbitrary deadline of demo release date doesn't change the fact that, hello, we still have a buttload of bugs that we are fervently fixing.
