ah it is still using screen. then simply add into /etc/screenrc at the end a line like this:

Code:

setenv LD_PRELOAD '/path/to/your/libBEpingboost.so.1.0.1'

and of course adjust the path accordingly...

beware this will preload the lib to everything you run inside a screen. if that is not what you want you should make a copy of the screenrc file, modify that copy with the setenv command and run screen with the "-c /path/to/the/screenrc" option in your run script.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit newbee into Linux things so, I understand the manipulation of the screenrc, I added the line

Code:

setenv LD_PRELOAD '/path/to/your/libBEpingboost.so.1.0.1'

as last line, but now I must do what with my init ? :s

Code:

LD_PRELOAD=/home/wolwx/SERVERS/CSS/libBEpingboost.so.1.0.1 FPS=2500

I tried to restart them but without change ...

Perhaps I need to restart my Debian ?

And in case if I try to use a copy paste of the etc/screenrc file, how I call it differently than the original one into my init script ?

[lol37]

hi,
can it works with hlds ? even its speed up ?

[BehaartesEtwas]

hlds will run with accelerated game play when it runs with more than 1000 fps. the lib can do that, but it doesn't make much sense... (note that hlds will never display higher fps than 1000 in stats command, you need to run host_speeds 1 directly at server console, not via rcon, for this to be seen).

wtf?

[Terrorkarotte]

Read the Readme and you will see what you are doing wrong. Anyway fps_max 70 would be enough for your server.

[BehaartesEtwas]

you need to use fps_max 0
I think that part is missing in the readme... But Terror is right, 66 fps are the most preferable fps to have for cs:s now... (more precise: run orangebox servers with fps matching their tickrate)

[nonick]

I have error:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/root/server/libBEpingboost.so.1.0.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

[BehaartesEtwas]

pretty normal on 64 bit systems. ignore that message.

EDIT: I am thinking of taking this lib down. There is really no use in it, especially since also CS:S got updated to the oragen box. Run your server with 66 fps (or whatever your tickrate is), everything else is bullshit!

hey, i don't see any thread explaining it but could you help explain why 66 fps is the best for the server and why everything else is useless.

Thank You

We discussed this a couple of times. Many of us made larger (blind) tests. With that result.

Compare it with filming a tv with a high speed camera. Where tickrate is like 25 (on PAL system) and fps is the highspeed camera you are using. You can take 1000 pictures but only will get 25 different pictures.
With servers fps are more or less like network operations per second.

[BehaartesEtwas]

more precisely: since the orangebox, servers use a dedicated thread for receiving network packets. before, the only reason for having higher fps than the tickrate was, that only during frame processing the server could receive network packets. in between packets had to wait until the next frame, thus adding an unknown and varying additional latency (e.g. 0-10ms for 100fps). that reduced the precision of the lag/latency compensation (as the latency cannot be compensated if unknown). now this effect is gone, so there is no reason to have higher fps. as terrorkarotte said, the additional frames do not change anything (but increase the cpu load of course).

[Peter_Pan123]

i use a script which produce 1000 or else fps on my system, but only on intel system. does have someone an idea why is amd and intel complete different? when i want 1000fps on intel machines > no problems. when i start the same lib on amd ones i will get 2000-3000fps. i think its the timer or something else, but tsc e.g. is the same. any ideas?

-p

[BehaartesEtwas]

idea: don't use the lib and use fps_max 70

I think nobody can help without the source code or at least specific details on the implementation.
