Re: [hlds] srcds vhosting
Man this takes me back to ... 1998-1999 ... editing my hosts file so I could just type connect servername in hosts file. Even back then, server ops wanted better DNS support, mainly for the dreaded IP change. If users stored their favorite servers as a hostname, then IP changes would be 1 less thing to worry about (worst case scenario would be a very long TTL value making your clients connect to the old IP). SRV records support would be awesome ... it's one of those ideas that makes you go Why hasn't this support been implemented YEARS ago? Oh well. SRV records have only been around 11+ years now ... why take advantage of them now, when damn near every (if not all?) *current* OS understands them? --mauirixxx -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of netshr...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 7:21 PM To: kame...@gasso.org; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] srcds vhosting The good thing about DNS is that, apart from CNAME, it's one-to-many. So in theory, assuming hypothetical DNS support on Source, you could set up 20 SRV records for the same subdomain, and if the user adds that to their favourites they then get a grouped list of all your servers.

I dug into this in-depth a while ago and came to the same determination: the existing DNS support is pretty much useless beyond the initial connect. Favoriting or connecting a host by name is nice, but it's a one-time thing. IMHO, the client really should support saving by name so resolution occurs later too, but instead saves by IP. Hosting providers, ISPs, and network infrastructures can change often, why not take advantage of DNS when it's already supports making these changes transparent to end users? Changing a server's hostname field to redirect users after an IP renumbering just feels like a crummy hack to me. Sorry to go so far off-topic here, but this has been a pet peeve of mine with Source's network support for a while. And as for the OP, even proper DNS support won't help you here. If it ever comes along, maybe Valve can add SRV record support as others have mentioned and make us both very happy. :) Cheers, -- Kameron Gasso | kame...@gasso.org ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

My win2k3 server is boosted and all my servers idle at 500fps except HL2DM, that idles around half that, 250fps. So... I disabled the booster dll and removed -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600. That didn't help... still crashes. Being I could re-produce the crash on Vista by adding +fps_max 600, I'm guessing somethings wrong. I'm guessing the 250fps is related to the issue. Any ideas? Valve? As of now our Vanilla HL2DM is DOA.

Re: [hlds] Bladecenter anything worth?
Define lag? I used to run a 20 slot tf2 server, 4 l4d servers, and a counter-strike source server under ESX, and I currently run 2 CS Source servers under ESXi on wildly different hardware. My powerful server, which is ran from work, is a dual quad core 2.0 GHz E5405 Xeon box (Dell PowerEdge 2950 actually). In that lone VM, it runs a 24 player server with 20 bots active on round start, and I get no lag, other then what the connection provides. When it was just 20 humans running we still had no lag. BUT - that was a single VM on a box that runs maybe 10 other low cpu usage virtual machines (Active Directory, Exchange, Sharepoint 2007, Symantec AV management server, real time backup, and some other random stuff). My ESXi box at home is a home brewed box (Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe, 8GB ram, AMD x2 5200 CPU). The same Counter-Strike setup (24 players, 20 bots) lags like a mofo until you start killing or kicking bots. It run on my home connection, so there's never more then 3 humans playing on it via our LAN. My point being, if you run server grade hardware, you shouldn't get any lag, anything else, YMMV. I've been very pleased with SRCDS performance under the various ESX/ESXi environments I've had the opportunity to play with. I didn't do anything special either. I literally installed ESXi, fired up a CentOS 5.x VM, installed srcds, and off I went. No kernel tweaks, NOTHING. I ran 3 L4D servers open to the public for awhile, no problems there, under both a Windows Server 2003 VM and the aforementioned CentOS 5 VM. Try get in contact with Karl Weckstrom (k...@weckstrom.com if I remember correctly) , he has a ton of experience in running srcds servers under ESXi, he was very helpful and answered a ton of my questions. I haven't seen him responding on this list os of late, so I don't know if he's still active or not, but in any case, that knowledge isn't something that's going to go away anytime soon, so I highly recommend contacting him.

What you can gain in reliability may make it worth it, though. Basically, you could guarantee that any 'dedicated server' is available much more reliably. If you connect your bladecenter to a SAN of some sort, and are able to intelligently distribute VMs over the blades, then if a piece of physical hardware goes down, the VM can be automatically booted on hardware that is running properly, with very little data loss because of I/O that was interrupted by the hardware issue. Since all the data from all the servers is stored on the SAN, the data is somewhat shielded from hardware failure. There are a few virtual machine platforms that will allow you to accomplish this, including, I believe, VMWare ESXi (I think they changed the name of this recently) or Xen... You'll have to do your own research into these if no one else replies, since I have absolutely no experience with virtualization. You will also probably have to expect that you will be spending a huge amount of money building a SAN that is both fast and reliable. If you run the datacenter that the servers are hosted from, then you could also expect better cooling and power usage efficiency by going this direction, and if not, you will at least be using less rack space. A bladecenter will require a lot more power per rack than a rack full of 1U/2U servers, so you may have to pay extra per rack for the extra amperage you'll need.

There's just been a ton of good info posted to this list, that while it may not be relevant to SRCDS game servers, it's still relevant to running something related to gaming, that let's facve it, most likely revolves around running a srcds game server of some type. For instance, Ook being chased out of here was just bad. We all know he's one of the dedicated few (and I mean few) who runs Opposing Force game servers. He has a wealth of knowledge related to other stuff that he HAS shared in the past, and we lost him because some people were so damned uptight about keeping this list on topic. Me, I'm glad the list operates the way it does, even with all the off topicness, the ranting to Valve, us flaming each other on occasion. In all that mess, we still manage to help each other, and in the end, the new guy asking for help still manages to get his server up and running, which ultimately is all that really matters... my 2 coconuts ... -- mauirixxx -- sent from my coconut powered palm tree-o -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Dominic Marciano Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 12:29 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] [OT?] What is this list to you Really?

Re: [hlds] Bladecenter anything worth?
if you were getting stuttering from disk reads, I'd look at a better RAID controller. We tossed the Dell PERC raid controller in favor of an Areca raid controller (90 megabyte sustained read on the Areca vs 35 - 40 megabytes on the Dell PERC) and haven't looked back. Although, even with the PERC, I never had any stuttering. On my home server, on the Asus, I'm using a crappy Dell CERC (PERC = Power Edge RAID Controller - CERC = Cost Effective RAID Controller) raid controller, running 2 Windows VMs, a FreeNAS VM, and a CentOS VM (that runs my lame bot server) and don't get any stuttering either. It sounds like you may have just had a faulty controller, or one that ESXi didn't quite fully support ..

On any disk reads from any of the VMs, there would be minor stuttering on all game servers across all the VMs. It was bad enough where the server was unacceptable for a match or scrim server, but would probably work fine as a pub. I was running them at 500 or 1000 FPS (or whatever the windows limit was) and servers on both 100 and 66 tic. I will read over that link soon. On 2/22/2010 4:58 AM, Rick Payton wrote: Define lag? I used to run a 20 slot tf2 server, 4 l4d servers, and a counter-strike source server under ESX, and I currently run 2 CS Source servers under ESXi on wildly different hardware. My powerful server, which is ran from work, is a dual quad core 2.0 GHz E5405 Xeon box (Dell PowerEdge 2950 actually). In that lone VM, it runs a 24 player server with 20 bots active on round start, and I get no lag, other then what the connection provides. When it was just 20 humans running we still had no lag. BUT - that was a single VM on a box that runs maybe 10 other low cpu usage virtual machines (Active Directory, Exchange, Sharepoint 2007, Symantec AV management server, real time backup, and some other random stuff). My ESXi box at home is a home brewed box (Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe, 8GB ram, AMD x2 5200 CPU). The same Counter-Strike setup (24 players, 20 bots) lags like a mofo until you start killing or kicking bots. It run on my home connection, so there's never more then 3 humans playing on it via our LAN. My point being, if you run server grade hardware, you shouldn't get any lag, anything else, YMMV. I've been very pleased with SRCDS performance under the various ESX/ESXi environments I've had the opportunity to play with. I didn't do anything special either. I literally installed ESXi, fired up a CentOS 5.x VM, installed srcds, and off I went. No kernel tweaks, NOTHING. I ran 3 L4D servers open to the public for awhile, no problems there, under both a Windows Server 2003 VM and the aforementioned CentOS 5 VM. Try get in contact with Karl Weckstrom (k...@weckstrom.com if I remember correctly) , he has a ton of experience in running srcds servers under ESXi, he was very helpful and answered a ton of my questions. I haven't seen him responding on this list os of late, so I don't know if he's still active or not, but in any case, that knowledge isn't something that's going to go away anytime soon, so I highly recommend contacting him.

It would take all of 30 seconds (longer if you try and do it with a mouse) to save yourself the future aggravation of your motd and host text files being overwritten with future updates ... hell you could even script it for future installations . save the following to a batch file somewhere on the same drive as your srcds installation, and edit the paths accordingly. --- @echo off cd \servers\l4d-01\l4d\left4dead copy motd.txt motd-current.txt copy host.txt host-current.txt cd cfg notepad server.cfg --- Now some copy paste action for you: motdfile motd-current.txt hostfile host-current.txt copy and paste those 2 lines into your now open server.cfg file. File - Exit and click yes to save when you're prompted.

holy crap that's a ton of content ...

Here is what we have coming: Killing Floor Defence Alliance 2 mod release - DA2 is the first total conversion mod to be released for Killing Floor. This futuristic team based multiplayer mod has been described as a combination of Halo/COD/TF2. Since the mod is going to be released through Steam, the server install can be acquired through HLDS like any other Steam dedicated server. The game name for HLDS is defencealliance2. Required Killing Floor Update - a required Killing Floor update will be released today. This update will add several of the top winning maps from the Killing Floor Grindhouse custom map making competition as official custom maps for Killing Floor. Killing Floor Guest Passes - We will be making guest passes available to all owners of Killing Floor. With these guest passes owners of KF will be able to allow their friends to play the game for free for a short time. We expect a large influx of players this weekend because of this. Red Orchestra Mare Nostrum Mod Content Update - The brilliant Mare Nostrum mod for Red Orchestra is receiving a major content update today. The update adds 26 Brand New Steam Achievements, 7 New Maps including a paratrooper assault on the island of Crete and wide open desert tank warfare holding the Gazala Line, 10 New Vehicles including new British, German, and Italian Tanks, 7 New Weapons, and new playable soldiers including Polish, Italian, and German units. This is an Official RO mod released over Steam, so servers can be installed using HLDS with the game name marenostrum. We ask that any server admins looking to help support the mod community for Killing Floor or Red Orchestra please host some Defence Alliance 2 and Mare Nostrum servers. Any additional servers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [hlds] Killing Floor free weekend difficulty settings
ok, that's all fine and dandy, and much better stated then saying What are you? Infinity Ward? We all know IW (and in relation Activision probably) is very hated by people who wanted to host a dedicated server - we get that. Calling Tripwire Infinity Ward because the owner asked for the community to drop the difficulty is just fucked up. If you don't want to do it, fine - that's your community and you do as you see fit to make it successful. If they demand hard mode only servers, then you obviously need to provide only servers on hard mode. I (and probably We) get that. Other admins may or may not pick up the slack, it's obviously totally up to them, as it is to you. But name calling - and yes calling calling another company Infinity Ward at this point in time IS name calling :P - there's no need for that. Especially considering Tripwire is doing everything they can to support their game (see John post further down the list) - something Infinity Ward OBVIOUSLY isn't doing right now.

Being that I'm hosting from Hawaii, this surprised me as everyones ping is well over 150, save for the lone 40 pinger I got.

I more or less agree with your assumption on the tag and the cross-game serving. At least I really hope we will be able to do something like that, I really do not want to split up my game servers for 2 games that are fairly similar. I don't think we could preload the demo, but we did preload the actual game.

I'm sure the demo won't need as many little patches as the L4D demo did (I hope), so it should go nice and smooth. Also I'm really curious about the g:l4d1 tag too. Here's my best hypothesis: L4D2 will be backwards compatible with L4D. You will be able to play the L4D campaigns natively in L4D2. (Possibly, an update to L4D would be released that supports cross-game support, so people with L4D2 can play with people who only have L4D). I'd guess that you could set up L4D2 servers, and the g:l4d1/g:l4d2 tag would tell the server whether to switch between l4d1/l4d2. This would also confirm an update coming to L4D that would make it supported by L4D2 servers. Anyway, I'd also like some official word on this, but since today is Friday, I wouldn't expect anything until Monday, and hopefully NOT Tuesday since the demo is supposed to be released then. Does anyone remember if we could preload the L4D demo? That'd give some insight into if we might be able to preload this one.

I wonder if we can get any sort of heads up on what to expect for this. The big question I think most of us have is - Are the servers going to be backwards compatible with L4D1, or will we have to run L4D1 and/or L4D2 servers? As someone mentioned a while ago, a new tag showed up in sv_tags which seems to indicate that we may only have 1 server running for both games, but some confirmation or denial on this would be great. I am going to guess that we are going to get the server files a bit in advance like we did the last go around. Are forked servers still in play? I would hope so, they are awesome.

Re: [hlds] Top Cheating Features Bypassing VAC? (wasVoogrucheaterplugin)
The ping from here isn't that bad actually, at least not to me. I hit california based (San Jose specifically) at around the 70-80 ping mark, anywhere else in cali is right at 100. Playing on Texas based BF2 servers, I would usually hit around 120, with spikes up to 150. TOTALLY playable in my opinion. But most of the hawaii gamers I've played with over the past 6 years claim that those numbers suck, and only play with that latency because there's no alternatives here in hawaii (that part is true, NOBODY hosts game servers in hawaii - I host mine off my work connection, which has a 2 megabit uplink, and goes damn near unused at night).

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Concurrent Connections from one public IP blocked
Funny I've never had that problem. I run 3 computers at home and I've never tweaked anything to allow all 3 of them to play Counter-Strike Source or TF2 at the same time - we even play on the same server too. The only bug I've ran into is sometimes the home connection drops momentarily, and when it comes backup a few seconds later, the server thinks my pc is one of the other players in the house, and the same happens to them as well. But no router config, no +clientport command line, nothing - it just works.

The best thing you can do at this point is to start from scratch with your server and only have the basics on there. Add your plugins one by one and see if you still have the same problem. This can take weeks, possibly, as you'll want to add a plugin and give it a few days to see if the problem is still existing.

There's quite a few of us here who host game servers in a virtual environment with nary a problem. If I'm not mistaken, trashedgamers is a completely virtual environment, with about 5 32 slot tf2 servers. You're up Karl :) I run my game servers under both ESX and ESXi (my stateside VM's are in ESX, my local VM's are ESXi).

If you run 4 Gig of RAM you should be fine, and make sure you run your OS and game servers on different hard drives. As far as bandwidth I was say if you were to fill those servers up most of the time you should think about 6-7Megbit at least.

(That is if I understood how you have your current setup as, one box per game server). You can run more than one game server on a physical server. It just depends on how powerful your system is to determine just how many game servers can run. As far as Linux vs. Windows, it just depends on how good you are in Linux or Windows. I would personally go with which ever you are able to get around in like Alec said. I find windows to be easier, but Linux to be more fun and interesting.

A better option would be to have the administrator add his servers onto his steam group, and servers from the groups your are associated with show up in a different color to make them more visible. Another change I'd like to see, is change the get server list function to retrieve servers from your groups, and then from the master list. Group servers show up on top of the rest of the servers. This is pretty much the only implementation I would support. I would be strongly against sv_steamgroup in its current form being ported to TF2 because the last thing I want is some schmuck running servers that are masquerading as my servers. - voogru. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Alec Sanger Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 1:49 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games wouldn't the post you responded to fix that problem?

Re: [hlds] New? Hunter Exploit
I have a sense of humor, even when the fact that someone should make a honeypot plugin for crouching I got a good laugh out of it. But when you're lightly insulting me, or just lamely insulting me - why should I have a sense of humor about that?

Re: [hlds] how does sv_downloadurl work?
To further protect yourself you could run apache instead of IIS. http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/private/hlds/2008-October/052140.h tml ^^^ contains what I did to secure mine.

Don't publicly share your downloadurl then? Plus it would be kind of dumb to rip off someone else's content since you don't know what they may or may not have, or you might delete something altogether. You should also put a blank index file in each directory in your downloadurl, so people can't snoop around and get a directory listing (assuming directory listings are enabled, which they shouldn't be).

I was under the impression that even though the fast dl is a different source to the game server, the game server acted as a 'gateway' for the client to grab those files. If that was the case, In IIS i could prevent all other IP's except my game server IP's being able to connect successfully to the fast dl source - and stop a server admin being to use my sv_downloadurl to leech from it - but... as confirmed in an above post, thats not the case and im gutted :( ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
