Shell auto-bzip2 script

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:07:03 -0400

Hi everyone.

With what seems to be a sudden change in the way sv_downloadurl works, I find myself constantly having to upload files to my FastDL server now. Unfortuantely, I don't really have the time to go over there myself and bzip2 every one of them. (Or at least the ones I need to.)

So I created this little shell script, which will compress any file that isn't a .bz2 file into a .bz2.

My server is running pure-ftpd as the ftp server, so I can have this script run whenever a file is uploaded to my server. (The first argument is said file.) You'll have to figure out if your ftp server can do the same thing.

Also, if you don't want it to log anything, just remove the echo lines.

And here it is:

Code:

#! /bin/sh

if [ awk '/.bz2' $1 ]

    then

        echo "Weird, $1 is a bz2 file." >> /var/log/autocompress.log

    else

    bzip2 $1

    echo "[$time] $1 has successfully been bzip'd." >> /var/log/autocompress.log

30D / 5U [16 Slots] Hvilke rates?

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:07:17 -0400

Hej. Jeg får nyt internet om ca. 1 måned & min forbindelse kommer så til at hedde 30 Down & 5 up.. Har overvejet at starte min egen dedicated. Men jeg ved ikke hvilke setting jeg skal sætte i server.cg filen, til den forbindelse? HJÆLP

På forhånd tak

downloadurl doesn't fallback to local files anymore?

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:10:14 -0400

Is it true that if you specify sv_downloadurl, if the server can't find the file at the specified location, it simply won't send that file to a client?

I used to only use that for hosting large maps. I'd throw them onto my webserver, to balance the load a bit. However, I'm assuming that after an update, Valve changed it so all files that are sent to the client must be on that fastdl server. Can anyone confirm this?

I have the latest version of everything. The only cvars I can think of that may affect this are sv_allowdownload and allowupload, both of which I have set to 1.

[DANSK][Ekstra][CSS]Super admin rediger prop menu!

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:36:33 -0400

Ok.

Hvis du har installeret super admin på din server og har props
men måske vil skifte nogen ud med en anden ting.
Tjah så er det her tutorialen for dig!

Start med at gå ind i C:\Din mappe med srcds\orangebox\cstrike\addons\eventscripts\super_admin\

og åben es_super_admin

Rul ned eller søg efter Propmenu
og du ville finde noget ligende med

Quote: popup addline super_admin_prop1 "| Propmenu |"

her under kan du se hvilket nummer er hvad for et
så dvs vis du har en Rock
og vil udskifte den med noget andet skal du huske hvad nummer den er

for mig er den nummer 3 i page 1

så nu ruller vi længer ned til du finder noget ligende med:

Quote:block super_admin_prop1
{
if (server_var(_popup_choice) == 1) do

find nummer det nummer du havde
så jeg havde nummer 3

Quote: if (server_var(_popup_choice) == 3) do

ok vis du så finder noget i denne store kode der indenholder
for eksempel

Quote:props/de_inferno/de_inferno_boulder_01

eller noget som du kan se der har props i navnet.
Er du ved stedet hvor du kan se hvad model den er.
Ok nu lad os minimer dette vindue
og gå ind i
C:\Din mappe med srcds\orangebox\cstrike\models\
og kig i alle mapperne der har props i den
så jeg går ind i props
mappen og her inde er der flere mapper.
Find en ting du vil have

Når du leder efter en ting kigger du i navnet
så jeg går ind i de_nuke mappen og vil have en cinderblock
så jeg leder efter cinderblock.mdl
det skal være dinprop.mdl
hmm jeg fandt vist ikke cinderblock.mdl
men jeg fandt noget ligende nemlig:
cinderblock_stack.mdl.
Nu når du har fundet din prop
skal du huske mappen
dvs min ligger i
props/de_nuke/
ok lige efter mappen jeg har der vil jeg putte min tings navn uden .mdl til sidst
dvs
prop/de_nuke/cinderblock_stack

gå tilbage i es_super_admin
og få det væk der står
propsblah/blahblah/blahblah
og istedet for det putter du ind dit
så jeg tog cinderblock derfor putter jeg ind
prop/de_nuke/cinderblock_stack
gem restart servern
og der har du det!

Incredibly Strange L4D2 Dedicated Server Issue

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:53:44 -0400

First post, etc etc. Hi there.

General Info:
Server OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x86)
Processor: Intel Core i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40 GHz (dual-core)
Installed RAM: 6.00 GB
Game: Left 4 Dead 2
Startup Command: (I assume this is launch options) -port 27015
Admin Plugins: MetaMod: Source, SourceMod

Connection Info:
Bandwith:

Router: 2700HG-E Gateway. Wired connection.
Local Server IP: 10.0.1.33, port 27015
External Server IP: 209.121.26.176, port 27015
Port Forwarding Setup:

Okay, my issue is a really weird one that I've never seen documented anywhere, and I'm still confused as hell about it.

I've got a L4D2 Dedicated Server set up with Sourcemod and the like installed. I can run it just fine as a "Local Server" from the lobby, and strangely it starts as sv_lan 0, so external connections are made. However, when I go to run it via the Dedicated Server tool, out of the five people I've invited, only two of them can connect, and none of them are in my local network.

I have no idea what's causing this and no idea of how to go about fixing it. Does someone else know? If so, help please? Thanks.

Freeze/Crash

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:51:23 -0400

Occasionally when someone leaves the server (CSS) i get this error message

workthreadpool.cpp (297) : Assertion Failed: CWorkThreadPool::StopWorkThreads: S
ome threads required forcible termination.

Assert( Assertion Failed: CWorkThreadPool::StopWorkThreads: Some threads require
d forcible termination.

I run mani, sourcemod, and eventscripts.

(sorry if the post isnt up to standereds its been a while since ive actually posted a question)

How do I Install Episode 1, 2 And How Do I Make A FastDL?

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:07:18 -0400

Well, I have a map that needs Episode 2 and 1 content to use it, and has a few EP1 and EP2 props on it, so I installed EP1 and 2 onto my steam, and ran the update tool, but I dont see it in Srcds, will it show up, or is it in some odd directory?

And also my garrysmod server has a small bit of content on it, but people do not download it to the server when they join, giving everyone errors for playermodels and such, how do I set a FastDL server and URL to make people download files from the server?

Any help on the two would be useful.

Connection failed after 4 retries? TF2

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:44:31 -0400

I've recently just downloaded hldsupdatetool to make my own server in which me and my pals could play without being disturbed by other players.

I followed this guide here http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.p...figuration as much as I could since I'm not playing CS but TF2.

Now, I can see my server in the LAN tab in TF2, but when I try to connect it says "connection failed after 4 retries".

Anyone who could help me? I've been trying to make this server thing work now since Saturday looking at different forums and FAQ's on google to no avail. I'm not even sure the plug-in works either since I can't test it.

My server.cfg file looks pretty much like this;

Can't connect to an internet server from within the LAN

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:50:30 -0400

Hi,

So, I've read your excellent tutorials and successfully installed two alien swarm servers (I've copied the folder, so there is actually two different servers running, not just two instances of the same srcds.exe file) on the machine detailed below. Everything is fine, except that I can not connect to the sv from another computer within the LAN if and olny if the sv is currently empty. If there is any other player on, I connect and play without any problems.

Also, people have complained about lag when there is 7/8 players on, so I would also like to know if it's really possible to run two servers in this machine/with this connection.

Info:

Win XP Pro 32bit (5.1 build 2600)
Intel core2 4300 @ 1.8GHz
2GB RAM
Alien Swarm
No mods so far

startup:

Code:

srcds.exe -console -game swarm +map lobby -maxplayers 4 -autoupdate +exec server.cfg

The hired ISP provides me theoretically (edit: now confirmed in my signature, though I shall retest in a higher traffic time)10Mbps down/800Kbps up, wich should be fine for up to 18 players, right?

The network is typical, and the router is the D-link DL524

192.168.101:27015 <-router-> 189.123.199.30:27015
192.168.101:27016 <-router-> 189.123.199.30:27016

All help shall be appreciated!

Low Server FPS

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:06:25 -0400

Hi there,

I have a TF2 server in Brazil and I am having a quite bad problem, while the server is running ok, no lag, in a certain moment, the sv: line on net_graph fall for 3~20, since it normal value is 150~200. When it comes low, the var: goes to 10, since it normal value is 3.

This problem just happens when the server is with more than 20 players.

What causes it ?

The dedicated configuration:
Amd phenon 9600 Quad Core 2.31Ghz
4GB RAM
Windows Server 2003 64bits
Startup command : C:\tf2\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -maxplayers 22 -tickrate 66 +fps_max 250 +map ctf_turbine -exec server.cfg -autoupdate +port 27017

The server:
Sourcemod + Metamod.
There is one other server in the same machine, as well 3 others Soldat servers.

Sorry for my english, but i think its understandable.

Thanks at all.
