Rcon Bypass

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:29:37 -0400

Hey SRCDS forums back here again with another problem. Not really much of a problem but i want to secure rcon from any script,any hack, anything that is able to get into rcon I try disabling rcon by putting "" or " " but my friend used his script in order to get in rcon. I'm like trying to get ahead because my friend told me that a hacker that he knew or a scripter said he will or would hack my server so I'm trying the best to secure it. If you have anything that can help let me know. I want to get ahead so it wouldn't get hacked.

- Thanks SRCDS forums.

Strange Problem Server running SLOW

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:44:04 -0400

I cant figure this out my CS:S server is running slow about 1/10th normal speed.

The fps and tick rate are fine so is the bandwidth its just the people objects guns everything is working at about 1/10th the normal speed.

I have tried turning off all my plugins, using a default cfg, updating the server, and its still doing it.

Anyway heres my system info and stuff.

srcds.exe -game cstrike +map surf_melons +port 27015 -maxplayers 32 -autoupdate -tickrate 100 -console

Running Windows 7 32-bit
4 GB or RAM
4 CPUs, Frequency: 4.8 Ghz, Features: GenuineIntel SSE SSE2 MMX RDTSC CMOV FCMOV

Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:19:59 -0400

Hej.

Folk kan ikke joine min server. Kun når jeg sender min IP(http://whatismyipaddress.com), så kan de godt.

Og da jeg lavede en genvej af srcds.exe

Og når jeg skriver den kode in: -console -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 16 +map hoejhus9_v3 -trickrate 66 -ip 90.185.151.6

Så vil den ikke. Så siger den: "Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port"

Jeg har også åbnet portene: 1200-1200, 27000-27015, 27020-27039. Og der er ikke noget der, man kan godt se porten: 27015.

Ved ikke hvad jeg skal gør, har prøvet så mange ting, og den gider stadig ikke... :s

CS:S connect and crash

Hi,

How it is possible to prevent these attacks ?

steam_id_pending

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:36:25 -0400

Server configuration:

Phenom II 940 3.0Ghz, 8GB DDR2 800 RAM, 4x500GB RAID-10 SATA with a 1TB backup drive for the array.

CentOS 5 64bit with wine.

I'm running a Garrysmod server, and I get steam_id_pending for the first two minutes (it then goes away). It's not really groundbreaking, but it is annoying.

I keep hearing about how it might be a dl issue (wine lacking a system32 dl) if so, does anyone know the specific DL in question?.

I know your going to say use windows, but the problem for me is that I am using a software RAID and not a hardware. Now, I could emulate a hardware raid through BIOS for windows, but to be honest it would be a pain and it lacks the features the linux software raid has (mdadm).

And don't say not to use raid because I get the following with raid in terms of speed:

Code:

hdparm -tT /dev/md0

/dev/md0:

 Timing cached reads:   11672 MB in  2.00 seconds = 5839.79 MB/sec

 Timing buffered disk reads:  722 MB in  3.03 seconds = 238.63 MB/sec

238MB/s beats the 40-80MB/s I would get out of a single drive.

Anyway, yeah. Do you know how to solve this problem?. Thanks!.

Edit:

Wine is also printing the following in its own window (not srcds):

Code:

fixme:netdll:NtLockFile I/O Completion on lock not implemented yet.

SRCDS on webserver... cPanel? What?

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:40:05 -0400

Sorry I'm a complete noob at this whole thing with servers. I just have a friend who has some space available at IX-Webhosting and we were wondering if it would be possible to run a game server from that. I have experience running a CS:S server from one of my own shunned computators in my house, I understand how to configure everything but what I want to know is -> is it possible to execute binary files on an internet server? How?

I've heard about cPanel, Plesk, Cron, some other stuff but when I try searching up what these are on Google all it returns to me is 'cPanel file management blah blah blah' Are these things even related to running a game server?

As I said: Complete noob, don't bash at me for this :S
just wanna know:

- Are we able to run a game server from IX-Webhosting? - Meant to be CS:S Server

- How would we go about doing this?

- If we can't run it off IX-Webhosting, what/where can we run it from? - this meaning other multipurpose hosting services not meant only as game servers. We know about gameservers.com and such.

Please no comments like 'eewww IX hosting sucks. go with blahblahblah' and
Thanks to anyone who helps in advanced

hltv

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:12:03 -0400

I have a linux distro. I am trying to run hltv, the port 27020 is not being used by anything else.

I execute the following in a .SH file:
hltv_run
#!/bin/sh
./hltv -ip x.x.x.x -port 27020 +maxclients 15 -maxfps 100 +exec hltv.cfg -autoupdate
echo hltv

I get the following errors:

All of the commands in the hltv.cfg end up with the following message:
WARNING! System::DispatchCommand: command "delay 180.0 " not registered.

Then I get the following message that repeats itself:
WARNING! System::RunFrame: system time difference <= 0.

My hltv.cfg is attached.

Does anyone have ANY idea of how to fix this?

SRCDS Dynamic External IP Lose Fav List? -CSS

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:57:08 -0400

I just posted here wondering if I'd be able to setup a dedicated server on one of my shunned computators with a dynamic external IP (the one at whatismyip.com) without it being lost from the favourites list? BTW I'm running this as a Counter-Strike: Source server.

Right now, if I set the -ip flag in the shortcut/batch file to launch SRCDS to the LAN IP (192.168.xxx.xxx) it's able to connect to the steam servers and it shows up in the "Internet" tab in the Steam Servers, for me, don't know if it does for anyone else ATM. But if I restart the router, it gives the server a new external IP. What I'm wondering is because the external IP changes, would this remove the server from a player's Favourite list? Is there a workaround for this?

If I set the -ip flag to the external IP (whatismyip.com). It does the same thing, but I'd have to constantly change that -ip flag to match the dynamic external IP. Giving me the same problem.

If I don't include the -ip flag, it acts the same way as if the -ip flag were set to the LAN IP.

Oh, incase you need it, here's my full command list thingy:
-console -game cstrike -ip 192.168.xxx.xxx -port 27015 -tickrate 66 +map surf_buck-wild -maxplayers 14

I'm rather poor at explaining things so I hope you got what I meant without getting tooo lost. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Map problem

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:40:11 -0400

Hi, I have two CS:S servers, and for some reason, some maps make them crash. They all used to work before, then they stopped working. I tried to put one of my servers on to de_dust, and it crashed. I don't know what else to do.

Server OS: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.7 Ghz
Ram: 1GB
Game(s): CS:S
Start Up Command: ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -maxplayers +map -port
Admin Mods: Mani, SourceMod, MetaMod, SourceOP, EventScripts, Es_Tools.

More specific start up:

Zriot server: ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 50 +map zm_lila_panic_aku -port 27018

AIM Server: ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 20 +map aim_ag_acients -port 27015

Server Start-Up Name Error

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:20:00 -0400

Nevermind. I deleted the SRCDS.exe and reupdated, and now its working for some reason.

Thanks, though.

TF2 View Models and Whitelisting

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:58:39 -0400

I recently whitelisted view models for weapons on my pure 1 TF2 servers so that people could use view models and not world models. I tested a few view models and they are still showing up on other people like world models. I am trying to block material wall hacking and letting people apply skins to other peoples weapons can be exploited. I have been running servers forever but something like this is not my expertise and if its a bug I will tell Valve.
