Re: [hlds] Crash on mapchange
Got replay turned on? After the last update my Linux severs would crash if -replay mycfgfile.cfg was in the startup and then I turned replay off in server.cfg on every round change.

Re: [hlds] TF2 srcds infinite loops.
While I am running on Linux I've noticed the same thing. I've unloaded all plugins and still noticed that when a mapchange occurs it hangs at 100% for a long time. If I leave it alone it eventually will respond. However it's not quick enough and it always kills my server (in terms of players). It just recently started doing it. Combatted it by trying to not have the map change anymore. I had thought it was from the server flushing the logfile after being on a single map all day, but I disabled file logging and that didn't make a difference. Steven J.

Re: [hlds] FillingFloor - Not Connecting
Do you have multiple ip addresses on the server? If so, add multihome=ip_address. There's only two possibilities here, that I can see: 1) the server isn't starting all the way up. Can you start the server and paste the output into an email? 2) the server isn't binding to the right ip address/ports aren't opened correctly. Sounds like you know how to forward your ports so I guess i'm leaning towards multihome being the answer. Do you run re server on the same network your client computer is on?

Some issues I've found no resolution for (and I freely admit I've only spent perhaps five hours of looking, since I've that whole real job thing staring me in the face during the day): 1) switching game-mode and maps. If you're playing versus and the server was started on a co-op or survival map, the maps lose the areas where infected can climb the sides of buildings. Likewise, a survival map can be changed to but the server remains in coop mode, thus the dreaded hordes never come. 2) Map downloads. I've not spent enough time on this debugging, but there has to be a way to get custom maps out to the players dynamically. The standard sv_downloadurl doesn't appear to be the way, or maybe I've just pooched the URL as I cribbed it from the DoDS server. 3) Game variables. Respawn time for the infected are horrendous, given it's 30 seconds to respawn then another minute of running ahead of the survivors to find a spot to rejoin. We'd like a more immediate return to the action. It would also be kind of nice if we could limit ammunition or otherwise muck with things in versus mode to give the infected a shot at winning if there's not a tank on the level. 4) Booted at the end of the round. Campaign ends, everybody's disconnected. Be kind of nice if we could stick around for the next campaign. You're on-target, these are simple, simple issues that could easily be taken care of if we pooled our knowledge and placed it in a convenient spot.

Re: [hlds] symlink multiple servers
I beleive right now on my game server i'm symlinking the bin and hl2 folder. I also went into tf2 and symlinked out maps, so all the servers can share that. Also did sounds, materials and some of the other folders in there. I'm not running a massive amount of tf2 boxes right now, but it is working for what I am.

I assumed that file i/o would not be steller running it across the network like that. I watched bandwidth, and it never really used that much. 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 the trouble it caused?

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).

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. - Original Message - From: Arg! chillic...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 2:29 PM im a bit of a linux noob, but wouldnt there be some potential latency involved with multiple server accessing the same files? i wonder if this would work with windows junction points as well :P On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 5:09 AM, f0rkz h...@f0rkznet.net wrote: You could share the source shared content as a single symlink point.

Re: [hlds] [TF2] No Crashes....yet
Sourcemod released 1.1.1 today which should help with some crashes. My server was crashing until last nights patch from valve. My server ran vanilla for about 45 to 60 minutes after patch came out. I shut it down and put last nights 1.2 snapshot on and server has been up for over 14 hours now. I brought it down just a bit ago to put the newest sourcemod build on and metamod source 1.7.1. I don't want to jinx the box but I've had much luck since last night.

Re: [hlds] was spam and stuff but now is Routers
I wouldn't dare try to do what you are with a netgear. At a place I worked for a couple years ago I recommended a procurve for our 1Gbps network. They opted for the relatively low cost netgear. Now the thing is under performinging. It can't handle transferring from one port to the other anywhere near 95% without slowing down the rest of the switch ports. The tagging in it has some serious bugs. I would avoid netgear managed switches like the plague. Dell makes some good cheaper managed switches. I'll personally buy used procurve stuff from eBay for my home networks. More reliable, free support and it's just darn easy to use. Oh, and you get console access instead of web based only like netgear (yuck).

Historically, Netgear routers have been for low volume browse-the-web home users because of the limited size of their routing table, and not really very usefull for anything that requires a lot of connections. I once tried to run an open-nap server through one, and my user count would ramp up to about 1000 or so, and then everything started timing out. Connections all over my network would fail, and I finally realized it was the router. After going back and forth with Netgear's braindead support reps, I finally found someone at Netgear that admitted that the routing table in the router was like 1024 in size, and they really intended them to be used for AOL level users that just wanted to browse and IM. That was a few years ago...maybe they finally got the idea and increased it? Anyone been here long enough to remember my adventures in crap low end routers several years ago?

Re: [hlds] [SPAM] RE: VMware Advise
Vmware's datacenter products are phenominal. I manage a full infrastructure of esx servers, certified vcp, and gosh this stuff saves our rear. Cranking machines out is a breeze with vcenter.

Anyway, sure - i'm always down for nerdspeak, Grab me via email or via IM sometime... But for what it's worth, FreeNAS is a dog compared to OpenFiler for Cheap iSCSI :) Our entire infrastructure at TrashedGamers.com is built on ESXI VI3, and we can do pretty much everything with openfiler twice as fast than with FreeNAS (even the exotic stuff like vmotion/storage vmotion). The only reason I kept plugging away at FreeNAS and ESXI was because everywhere I read, people said it couldn't be done because of how it was implemented in bsd. While i'm an aging Unix guy at heart, there's no question that Openfiler (which is based on rpath linux) is way faster. As for anyone else on this list, if you've ever considered doing a full bare-metal esxi + iscsi implementation , I'll be more than happy to help anyone out. It's pretty amazing how much stuff you can do with the lowly q6600 CPU :) -Karl ___ 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 -- - jtr...@gmail.com ___ 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
