Today I am getting a SINGLE (1) email in a digest email. I might as

Until the boys at Valve get this fixed, do you guys mind not including

The google results for the error show mostly windows issues, and boot
failures, so it's possible that's not an srcds fault, but rather a
hardware condition. (Which would also justify why you get this both
versions of Windows.)
Also, you cannot use HLDS (hl1) to host TF2 servers.

Yeah, I suppose I could be confusing the two. I'm no server hoster, but a
mapper. Having the srcds Steam tool working would be quite handy for
testing builds, since a listen server doesn't quite cut it.

These updates take longer and longer and time out more and more. Here I am
an hour and a half later and still can't get my servers to update without
timing out. I thought the new update system released a couple months ago
was
suppose to improve things. Instead, it's 100 times worse on the west

Anakin has been around on the list for a very long time, and has provided
nothing but good advice, fixes, and insight.  If his plugin is anything
malicious, which I doubt, I have full backups, and it's easy enough to fix.

Sure, it's use at your own risk, but so is Sourcemod, Mani, etc.

Re: [hlds] Question on Dedicated Server

2012-03-22 Thread Andrew DeMerse

That is incredibly dependent on what you're looking for.

Things to consider:
-Are facilities access 24 hours a day?
-What is their uptime guarantee? Research to verify they don't have issues.
-Do their facilities meet your cooling/power/network redundancy
expectations?
-Are there on site techs that provide remote hands and eyes for things like
reboots or simple tasks?
-Is it in a good geographical location for your playerbase? For example, a
server in Montana probably won't be good for East Coast players.
-How many providers do they peer with? You're looking for a good few solid
peers, and not a gaggle of peers you've never heard of.
-How many IP addresses are you provided with, and how many do you need?
-How much bandwidth do you get? Is it burstable if it's rate limited? What
are charges for overages? FastDL and replays can eat bandwidth quick.

Those are the very basic questions you should understand and have answers
for before considering colocating a server for any purpose. A lot of the
above are also expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for. A
colocated server in a hot room that loses power during storms, with peers
that tend to drop randomly doesn't make for a good game server. It also
sucks if you have to drive 2 hours to reboot a server that locked up (it
happens), because there is no on site staff, or they are incapable of
hitting a power button.

 1 24 slot tf2 server (if you consider it being always near full) will
 roughly use 200gb up/down, at least from my experience, on maximum rates
 needed to sustain no choke @ 24 players per month. You could probably
 squeeze by by adjusting the rates, but your best bet would be to colo or a
 business connection. Colo would probably be cheaper and you wouldn't have
 to worry about using personal bandwidth (downloads, etc) causing
 interruptions on your server.

Re: [hlds] CS GO BETA KEY

2012-03-19 Thread Andrew DeMerse

If it's any consolation, the Valve CS:GO servers seem to crash fairly
frequently right now. At least when Lake/Arsenal was being played, I
haven't had much time to play since the latest patch. Though I can tell you
that the Terrorist bots don't actually do anything on Italy. They just sit
at spawn and wait for you to come to them. There are way too many issues
right now, and would cause a TON of headaches.

Re: [hlds] Why does my TF2 server start twice?

2012-02-10 Thread Andrew DeMerse

Starting a server that way isn't the best of ideas. Instead of starting it
as a service, why not just start it as a normal screen from a
non-privileged user? That way it doesn't require root to start/stop the
process.

Also, if you read the comments on that site, it mentions that it starts 2
instances, and how to fix it.

*I had the issue as well, I am no expert but my solution was to comment ‘#’
out line 19*
*
*
*replace ” screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS ” with “# screen -d -m -S
$NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS ” and I no longer have 2 instances.*

The guide also has a few inaccuracies, such as saying that srcds won't run
on 64 bit architecture. These days, I'd say the right way would be to
have a dedicated non-privileged user for the tf2 server, and have nemrun to
keep the server running and up to date.

 Hi,

 I recently installed SRCDS on my server. I followed this guide:
 http://stevenbenner.com/2010/11/how-to-set-up-a-team-fortress-2-dedicated-server-on-ubuntu/

 However, when I use his method of running srcds as a service in
 /etc/init.d/, my server starts two instances... one on 20175 and
 subsequently another on 27016, in separate screen sessions.

 I thought it might be this section, which seems to repeat itself:

 su $SRCDS_USER -l -c screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS
   screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS


 But removing the second line ends up making the server not start at all..

 Advice appreciated.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

2012-02-02 Thread Andrew DeMerse

The HUD animations file changed, and the patch note says it's an event
related to HUDs. The animation file changes added the following lines.

+
+ //===
+
+ event DamagedPlayer
+ {
+   // empty
+ }

 You can already enable sounds when you've damaged players, and 'sticky'
 outgoing damage numbers to the HUD. I'd imagine it's something along those
 lines, except for people with hearing problems.

 Anyone knows what's the use of that? Unless you're coding hacks, it

Re: [hlds] Replay Download Error

All you linux junkies can use crontab to clean this out every day.

On my (windows) servers, the replay cleanup system has never worked. I

Tyler, I have the *SAME* issueand all i could do was simply turn off
replays, which made my community annoyed/sadbut, I had difficulty
browsing the FTP folder of replays as my FTP client would crash. I had to
ask for my provider to delete most of them for me so I could at least

Hey guys, not to deviate from the subject of this thread, but I'm
having MAJOR replay issues as well.

It's not that it isn't working, it's that it isn't working as intended.
I didn't check on this earlier, and I just noticed. I have replays being
accumulated and they are NEVER deleted! I have replay blocks dating back to
August of last year sitting in the replay directory! What the heck!? Aren't
they supposed to be removed when the server is updated? There are now more
than 10 GB of replay blocks in just ONE of my replay directories. It
crashes my SCP client as soon as I even open the directory.

How can I solve this problem without deleting replays still in use by
clients? Valve, it would be nice if the server would actually remove the
replays when an update is pushed through just as the game client states it
will do, and recommends for clients to save their replays if they want to
keep them.

Any assistance is appreciated! =]

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released

2011-12-16 Thread Andrew DeMerse

It's so prevalent and easy to come across, even on accident, that it's best
to let server admins know about it. When I sent the mail, it was already
posted on SPUF and making it's usual rounds. I'm sure someone could code up
a plugin that prevents revenge crits on the FJ (maybe in tf2 items, haven't
had a chance to mess with it), but it's easy enough to just disable the
weapon, and cut the head off before people come in and destroy your server.

I don't think normal shenanigans are what they are after. It's more the
servers that are constantly doing things that affect how people play the
game. For example, rooting/freezing players when gifts spawn, noclipping
admins/friends when gifts spawn, etc.

 Do you still use QueryPerformanceCounter() in a loop?

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 / Left 4 Dead updates released

2010-10-05 Thread Andrew Armstrong

Glad to know we're not the only ones; its 3 hours since the release and
unfortunately updating via hlds tool still takes a long time (at least 30
minutes now and still not finished) downloading updates.

Not sure if that's because I am in Australia and we're having to download
from overseas for this update but it would be nice to have server updates
get downloaded fast too :)

Regions are still supported and work exactly like before.  In general they
aren't widely used and now that we do IP geographical ordering they are less
useful since you will get sent servers near you first.

There are two current IPs for the masters.  One of the major changes was
rewriting them to be multithreaded so now a single multicore machine can
handle many more players requesting server lists.  We have two masters for
redundancy and they replicate all server data to each other.

Re: [hlds] Windows Control Panel

2010-04-07 Thread Andrew Armstrong

If you're not after a game control panel (why not out of interest?), you may
want to check out GameMon - http://mammoth.com.au/resources/ which may be
what you're after.

It's a watchdog program that simply monitors servers and gives you some nice
options.

'GameMon is a simple application for Windows and Linux that allows
monitoring of any game server that can be queried with QStat. GameMon
supports a variety of operations, such as the restarting of a failed game
server and the scheduled restarting of game servers.
GameMon can detect failed servers by a number of methods - checking to see
if the server is no longer queryable via QStat or checking to see if the
process has failed. It is an effective solution to aid increased uptime on
game services.
GameMon is free, open source software.'

Disclaimer: I work for Mammoth Media, the developers of the software.

This is true for the default setting. However TCAdmin can be set to use a
specific user for all game servers created from that point on and you can go
back in the windows services control panel and change the user that the
service executes under. It's really easy and didn't take me much more than
20 min for 20 servers and I have no issues (well over a year running like
this)

That is a simple solution to the problem.

However if you are a GSP or otherwise using TCAdmin like many do, there are
some side issues that go along with setting a game server to use a limited
access. (Important note on TCAdmin: TCAdmin runs as system and so do all the
services it powers - FYI in case you are unaware.)

This was mainly a warning going out before anyone got completely hacked and
lost access to their machines.

If you can, disable all plugins etc and see if anything speeds up.

Try a vanilla config file too.

Servers changing maps may be slow because its stuck reading from disk; but a
few minutes sounds excessive.

When we had 1000 entries in our banlists it only took an extra 30 seconds or
so to load the map.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change

2010-02-14 Thread Andrew Armstrong

Perhaps the server's disk is stuffed / too slow / overloaded (reading the
map from hard disk etc).

Maybe try somewhere else, I wouldn't accept its a bug in the server as a
reason (because it isnt).

It varies, I'm running stock configs, with no sourcemod installed
(renamed addons dir) and fastest I've gotten was 13seconds and longest
is about 2mins.  It's extremely noticeable when going from a good
working server to mine.  Even the 13seconds until you start to see the
map loading on the client seems forever.

The guy said he is going to do a defrag on the hard drive... highly
doubt that will do anything but I'll wait and see.. and then probably
price out a server somewhere else I'm thinking now.

 We've experienced this with other source based games when we listed
 'exec
 banned.cfg' in our server config file, when the banned.cfg contained
 hundreds of ban entries.

 Remove this command from your server.cfg if its present, just execute
it
 once on the command line.

Re: [hlds] watch out lua script cheat available in CSS, may be all source game soon

2010-02-08 Thread Andrew Leach

No, it's a real exploit caused by the client loading it's own  
sourcemod with full privileges in a listen server, then staying in the  
engine when you connect to another server. You can't do anything to  
other clients obviously, but you can change restricted CVars. Easily  
blockable using zBlock or an equiv.

[hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released

2009-12-09 Thread Andrew Armstrong

Hey all,

 

Just an FYI there was a L4D2 update released a short while ago which appears
to have a server update too, I didn't see it announced:

 

http://store.steampowered.com/news/3217/

 

Left 4 Dead 2

* Changed rules for ghost placement in Scavenge Mode

* Player controlled Special Infected are no longer forced to un-crouch
and lock strafe when they crouch attack

* Spitter spit that damages players on a moving elevator will now fizzle
quickly

* Allow the survivor and infected to rotate the camera yaw while being
attacked by a Charger or Smoker

* Smoker that has dragged a survivor to the end now gets the same
cinematic flashlight as the Hunter and Charger

* Fixed a crash in physics

* Updated the Charger's hit boxes

* Updated the Jockey's hit boxes

* Updated the Spitter's hit boxes

* Fixed player health on being revived after a Charger slam over a high
ledge

* Fixed versus scores not resetting after a vote to change campaigns

* Fixed being able to use defibrillator on dead players who were far
above or below you

* Fixed pink glow on dead survivors

* Fixed being able to hold crouch while incapped to get better weapon
accuracy

* Fixed players pushing against some props causing them to accumulate
downward velocity and then take falling damage when they let go of the
forward key

* Fixed a case where an incapped survivor inside a rescue vehicle would
trigger both the escape sequence and a round restart

* Fixed the helping hand from getting stuck when extended

 

- Andrew

Subject: [hlds] Question about L4D2 Demo Slots

I have a working vanilla L4D2 demo server up and running on a Windows 2008
box. HLSW only sees it as a 4-slot server but as many as 6 can join and
play. When 7 or 8 try, the last 2 people appear to join for just a moment
then are immediately kicked off and it goes back to 6 players and then
eventually 4. Is this normal? Do bots show up in HLSW? Any ideas what, if
anything I need to do to make it fill all 8 slots correctly or are they only
suppose to be 4 slots?

Sorry guys, this is my first attempt at running L4D servers, I'm a CSS guy.
If this is too lame of a question, just delete this message.

Thanks for any help,
Mike Vail

 My (Windows) servers seem to be responding normally to A2S_INFO, using

 However, I see a separate bug -- rcon commands (including stats, 
 status,

 and cvars) are accepted and can change the state of the server, but they
 only return the log line as a response, and not the appropriate 
 information.

 e.g, if I send rcon status, it responds only with something like:

Subject: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Released

Left 4 Dead has been updated to include a lobby browser.  This is an
optional update.  The lobby browser (under Play Online) will show you a list
of optimal games available for you to join.  The browser pares down the
thousands of lobbies and games currently being played to show you the
best list of  games available to you.  This list includes official and
add-on campaigns, including add-on campaigns you have not yet installed,
making it a great way to discover them.   You can filter by difficulty,
official and/or add-on campaigns and by lobbies and/or games in progress.

The Play on Steam Group Server screen now displays which Steam group it's
searching while updating the list.

After calling a vote to change difficulty in game it is now correctly
updated in matchmaking. 

Add-on Campaigns:
- When downloading a new version of an add-on and installing it (by double
clicking the .VPK file), it will now correctly overwrite the pervious
version, even while Left 4 Dead is currently running.
- Addressed a crash when two mission files with the same name are installed.
- Steam Group Servers now will now correctly offer download links when
running add-on campaigns.  

Server:
- The server will now warn if the public or private tags exceed their
limits.  Public tags are limited to 63 characters.  Private tags used for
matchmaking are now limited to 1024 characters.  

SDK:
- The VPK tool can now handle campaigns larger than 500MB.
- You can now drop an add-on a VPK file onto the VPK tool to have it extract
it for you.
- Detail.vbsp and lights.rad have been added to the distribution.

Note that the Linux Steam objects have been renamed.  This shouldn't cause
any issues.

I tried to play this map last night, initially I was kicked from the game
(while trying to join the server directly) with a 'String table differs'
error.

I deleted the copy of the map I had (from a short while ago - it was in vpk

I suspect the map author did not change the version number in the vpk file.

 In Death Aboard, the author of a campaign (Diputs) has released a few
 different versions of the campaign with different names for the VPK
 (e.g.dthbrd61.vpk vs dthbrd6.vpk). Each VPK includes an updated campaign
 name which includes the version number (Death Aboard 6.1).

 Just from observing my friends, users with both versions installed are
able
 to click the Join button to enter the lobby, but the lobby system somehow
 gets confused and boots them.  Once my friends removed the old version of
 the campaign then everything worked as expected.

 Anyone else encounter this issue?

Re: [hlds] Timeout On Mapchange

2009-07-12 Thread Andrew Armstrong

The plugin requires sourcemod, which seems to really stuff up the servers
(weird SI spawn locations that are out of bounds, multiple AI hunters
running around, etc - just stupid problems that make the game unplayable).

Could Valve *please* look at and acknowledge this problem in a reply to this
email thread? TF2 already corrected this issue, it was due to the gameplay
stats being synchronously uploaded during map change to Valve HQ (which may
sometimes take too long).

The problem has been raised numerous times (months ago) and now it's being
raised again, but nothing ever happens, which is out of the ordinary.

Thanks,

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=85395page=4

Neph posted towards the end of that thread saying the bug was fixed, perhaps
it was only for TF2.

Can anyone else confirm that Neph said his plugin does *not* work for 
L4D?  I think there is no solution for this issue.

Not sure why we can't get an ETA from valve on this, it is a critical 
issue based on how many people complain.

 Agreed.

 Neph had a plugin to skip the stats upload during map change (the
supposed
 cause to the timeout problem), but he posted on his forum that it was no
 longer necessary a while ago because Valve had fixed the problem, however
I
 don't believe that to be the case.

 I was playing in the last few days and I experienced a 'reconnecting to
 server...' message during map change - thankfully it reconnected in time
 however before the reconnect counter hit zero.

 This problem is *definitely NOT fixed*. Zoid (or anyone from the Valve
 team?) are you able to double check this problem is actually fixed, as
 myself and others do not believe it is at all.

 A lot of our players are still complaining of timeouts when changing
 maps on L4D. Anyone else seeing this? We run about 30 servers, so this
 is rather annoying to say the least.

 Some have a stock game, others have SourceMod + Cevo ReadyUp mod
 installed. The bugfix included in SourceMod a while back didn't seem to
 do anything.

 We also tried Neph's plugin, which doesn't seem to work for L4D. (Never
 got a conclusive answer on if it should or shouldn't work so we gave it
 a shot).

 Servers are running Windows.

 Thanks,

Re: [hlds] Referenced Memory

2009-05-04 Thread Andrew Armstrong

Possibly a bad RAM stick in your server, you should run a memory test.

Memory leaks don't cause these errors, they would just end up consuming 100%
of your RAM and end up throwing an 'out of memory' error.

If it was an invalid pointer being accessed it would be an access violation
error instead.

 I'm resurrecting this email in the case that folks are still experiencing
 lag/choke on servers (like me).  I'm hoping that Valve will continue
 improving the player experience regarding (what I assume to be
 mis-configured) servers due to the semi-recent update at the end of
 January.

 I've tried the various settings if/when I have control over them from the
 following article, but they have no affect:

 http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/TF2_Network_Graph

 Since the patch I've avoided sniping for the most part, but now that I
know
 the next class update involves the sniper...

 Here's Tony's post regarding choke/net_splitpacket_maxrate:

 I was experimenting with net_splitpacket_maxrate and it seems it has a
 definite
  noticeable effect. Assuming your server's CPU can handle the extra load
  required by splitting an extra amount of large packets and compressing
 this,
  I would recommend setting this to the same as your sv_maxrate (unless
 your
  maxrate is zero, in which case you should set it to a real high value).



 Look at these pictures:

 http://www.sourceop.com/
 http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/net_splitpacket_maxrate/
  randomimages/net_splitpacket_
 http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/net_splitpacket_maxrate/
  maxrate/ http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/net_splitpacket_maxrate/

 http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/net_splitpacket_maxrate/

 http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/net_splitpacket_maxrate/Because of
  the constant stream of large amounts of incoming data, every packet in
 the
  screenshots is part of a fragmented set. The CVar limits the rate of
 these
  packets specifically and defaults to only 15000. This is a problem
 because
  when there is large amounts of action, it is common for update packets
to
 be
  split because of their large size. If most of the update packets need to
 be
  split, your rate will suddenly be dropped to around 15,000.



 I see no drawback to increasing the value of this CVar other than
  the increased CPU load your server might get since it will be splitting
  and compressing more outgoing packets.



 Hope this helps,



 Tony

           game notify
           - Players can hear all other players' voice communication, no
 team restrictions

 Now if I set sv_alltalk 0 in the server.cfg the console echos:-

 15:19:20 sv_alltalk = 0 ( def. 1 )
           game notify
           - Players can hear all other players' voice communication, no
 team restrictions

 Also, when I set sv_alltalk 0 sv_tags populates with alltalk which to
 me would state alltalk is enabled? Isn't that ass backwards?

 example: sv_alltalk 0 -

 15:19:33 sv_tags
 15:19:33 sv_tags = alltalk,*grp:x, ( def.  )

 Thx for listening... :p

[hlds] TF2 Blog Post: Server Scoring

2009-03-12 Thread Andrew Armstrong

Check out http://teamfortress.com/

 

One of the things we've been thinking about for a while now is how to
improve the player experience around finding a server to play on

 

.

 

After kicking around some proposals, we came up with a simple system built
around the theory that player time on a server is a useful metric for how
happy the player is with that server.

 

The very worst servers attract a large number of connections, mostly
because they're lying in ways that make them look like a very attractive
server at all times.

 

Our first step in improving this part of the player experience has been to
delist all the really bad servers. The master server will simply stop giving
these to you when you fire up the serverbrowser. After that, we're going to
keep improving our ability to measure this kind of problem.

 

This sounds very cool, and I look forward to see what Valve can come up with
in using these stats.

Re: [hlds] symlink multiple servers

2009-03-09 Thread Andrew Armstrong

You don't actually need to use any of this - You can run multiple servers
out of the same install already.

The only real gotcha is that addons are auto-loaded when each server starts,
so you need to explicitly unload them if you want them disabled, which
doesn't always work.

Yes but they are more limited.  I think it doesn't support it on folders 
the way you might expect, ie. it is more like an alias and not a symlink 
like you might think about it in linux.

 A better reason to symlink some of your directories might to be if you 
 have
 multiple servers using same map set and you don't want multiple copies
of
 your maps and resources. It would be nice if we could do this with 
 Windows.
 Hmm...anyone old enough to remember the old DOS append command? And all

 I won't point out the finer detail of this being a Win32 server mailing
 list... oops.. :P  Google windows junctions to get info on how to use
 junction points.

 You have found where you would need to link the shared content.
Because
 you
 would want cfg and addons separated (yes, I suppose you could pass an 
 exec
 for custom autoexec.. but come on..), it means you would want, then, to
 link
 the other folders at that level (materials, models, maps.. etc).

 However, compared to many other things to look at, I don't believe you
 would
 gain all too much.

 Having multiple servers accessing the same files would actually be 
 faster.
 The files will be in the cache, reducing reads to the hard drive. The 
 disk
 i/o block scheduler may or may not be faster depending on what else is
 being

 read. If more then one process tries to read the same sector such that
 both
 requests go into the same head scan, then it will come out faster, but
 that
 probably isn't too likely. I would count on the cache to increase
 performance, but not the i/o scheduler.

 im a bit of a linux noob, but wouldnt there be some potential latency

 i wonder if this would work with windows junction points as well :P

 You could share the source shared content as a single symlink point.
 Getting any deeper into sharing content may get tricky, but its
 possible.

 For instance, you set up something like /home/serverfiles/hl2
 You could then symlink that in your server's directory..
 /home/myuser/mygameserver/
 ln -s /home/serverfiles/hl2 /home/myuser/mygameserver/hl2

 Further than that may get messy...

 clean up data along with making server updates much easier across

 Anyone here setup the additional servers via symlink?

 If so how did you go about doing it so that /addons and /cfg folders
 arn't shared?

 I'm curious to hear everyones opinion on this.

Re: [hlds] Windows Server 2008 64bit: Couldn't allocate any hltv IP port / bind errors

Hi Matt, Olly,

I tried both +ip (address) and -ip (address), they both had the same result.

I tried +ip 0.0.0.0 and had the same result.

Interestingly this morning the server boots up, and I see the Failed to
start in-process Steam service message still, but a status report says:

version : 1.0.4.9/14 3755 insecure (secure mode enabled, disconnected from
Steam 3)

So supposedly the server is secure - but its not, because I checked via the
Steam server list (Also note the 'disconnected from Steam 3' bit).

Compare that to another 32bit server that just says: version : 1.0.4.9/14
3755 secure (and is working fine).

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Cheers,
Andrew
