Hi,
I have a question about L4D. The fact is the match are player 4 vs 4 and I
was a unable to find a solution to be able to have more than 8 slots.
Actually, we would need at least one more slot (for spec) but it didn't work
increasing the maxplayers.
I also give a try to launch a sourceTV on
I agree.
L4D isn't as much of an issue as it appears to restart itself frequently
when it goes from in-use to hibernating. But for other games like TF2,
CSS etc. chucking a 0 5 * * * killall srcds_i486 into the crontab of
the user running your games servers is useful, as long as the startup

http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Kernel_Optimization (which
is linked from http://www.howto-cs16-root.de/) that last good kernel
is 2.6.26.8, which you're using (and I'm going to use it too :).
Also I've read both instructions how to configure a good
Like ics said, you can't necessarily go by the amount of memory the OS
says is used. Once a process is given some amount of memory, Linux
earmarks that memory as used. However, if it's not actually being
used and another process needs it, it will get reallocated.
The following is the output
Unfortunately I've never found a way to do this.
SourceTV doesn't work (and if you do get it working it leaks memory so fast
you'd have to put a new stick in every half hour.)
Can't really increase slots, though I have seen a few L4D's with 32 slots.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience running HLDS and/or SRCDS
on a Sun Fire x4200 server. The x4200 is an AMD Opteron-based server
and so far I have only run our gaming servers on Intel boxes. I'm
curious about the x4200's because we have a few already and they have
been
To get a good picture of the servers use of memory we have to look at more
then top as ics say.
If I look at top on our servers I se 15% mem is used by one instance of
srcds, the other 3 is using less then 4%.
If I then does a ps aux then non of srcds is using more then 3-4% mem.
Please check
I just updated my server to the latest beta, and there is a really strange
bug(?). When you're crouching or standing still while jumping, it's making this
jump sound - as you're running. You can't hear the sound yourself when you're
jumping.
Is this a bug or a new wanted feature?

We've had discussions on the list about this already, but I'm curious
if anyone has found a method (either with a sourcemod plugin or
otherwise) to handle setting alltalk appropriate across map changes?
Right now when my server loads, I do not set sv_alltalk anywhere --
it's using the engine
I'm a developer at Valve who is working on the Left 4 Dead Survival pack
update. We've made several changes to server operation that we'd like to give
our server operators a heads up on.
Since Left 4 Dead will now support three different game modes, we removed the
console variable
Exciting!
The big question, when is this oh so wonderful date?

Yeah, I came across a countdown somewhere on the Interwebz where the
target date/time was the 21st @ 8:00 am PST. I'm not sure where that

I can confirm there is a slow leak in the L4D dedicated servers. I have
informed the L4D team of the issue. Hopefully someone will be able to find it
before the next update.
Just FYI. I am monitoring the servers via Munin. I am using the standard memory

Is this leak specific to L4D? I have noticed this happening in TF2 as well.

I also notice leaking in TF2. I have a plugin restart my servers after ~2000

I think there's a cron sourcemod plugin, that I assume could be used to just
issue commands to the server, ala quit - I don't use it but I'm pretty sure
that's what he's referring to.

I'm a bit confused by the part of the talk where you state that giving
people rcon is essentially giving them shell access to the server. I'm
not aware of any built in way of executing commands on the system. Yes,
you can write config and demo files, but there's not much you can do
with those.
An optional update for Counter-Strike 1.6 and Condition Zero has been released.
Please run hldsupdatetool to receive it. The specific changes include:
Counter-Strike/CZ:
- Prevent Russian Walking exploit
Server changes:
- Fixed players being kicked from servers with an INVALID_STEAM_TICKET
A required update for Team Fortress 2 will be released later today. Probably
in the next 30 minutes or so.

Hello,
Was this update just an official release of the HLDS beta update? My CS 1.6
and CS:CZ servers were up-to-date with the beta patches, and when I went to
update them tonight they didn't get any new files (except that the CZ server
got the stock motd.txt as always).
$ ./steam -game
Yes, this was just setting public the files that were previously in the beta.

It is only one more sound while ducking/jumping?

It was a bug in the pm_shared logic (goldsrc mod developers would know what
this is), you could exploit it with the right timing to cause a jump sound to
not be played. The intent was everytime you hit jump you got a noise, so that
is what it does.

It's sort of giving them shell access to the server itself, since you can
modify any var you want. You may not be able to save it for next boot/map,
but you can really mess some settings up with it.

That is correct, but the talk says you shouldn't run game servers as
root, since it would give anyone with rcon root access. While you
shouldn't be running the server as root just as a general principle, I'm
not convinced that this is the case.

Tonight I banned a user for some language that was against the MOTD.
I'm using Sourcebans with Sourcemod and MySQL backend. I know how the
ban system for Sourceban works (user connects, we get steam ID, check
database, kick if they're banned). The problem is he kept doing retry
in console,
Ban the IP address, too.
Then you don't see the connect messages anymore.

I know that's an option, but sourcebans' plugin just handles that
automatically -- it grabs the IP and steam id and puts it in the mysql
database. When users connect sourcebans does the checking, not the
srcds engine itself. Therein lies the problem.
Having to ban everyone a second time through
Would be trivial to modify the sourcebans sourcemod plugin to add an IP ban
automatically through the engine when kicking someone, and if you don't
write those bans to a file they will only last until the server is
restarted. Although, it may be better to add an ID ban through the engine,
that may

Also, I don't use SourceBans, but I seem to remember that the people
behind it were working on using predcrab's CBaseServer hooks to
process bans before a client actually connects. You might want
