What program use the pros?!

[Legestuen]

Yeah

We use SRCDS to make server


But if you take http://www.ukgame.com, what do they use to make server with?
and counter-strike.net?

[Acidic996]

They probably use SRCDS on a Linux Server-Only computer, with atleast 4GB of RAM, and Quad Core Processors.

[Legestuen]

So they do also use SRCDS

But how have they made the game panel?

[Mooga]

The game panel is a web back-end that talks tot he server via rcon.
There are a few free or cheap game panels available.

[helio]

srcds is the only thing you can use to make servers for valve games. heres a list of a bunch of game panels http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/12826

I cant just dont understand that how can the though internet send a message to a program that can close the server, start the server.

Sockets.

Here is a snippet from my panel's backend:

PHP Code:

int main() {    
    cout << "Starting realchamp's awesome panel...\n";
    cout << "Initailizing network setup\n";
    int server;
    int client;
    sockaddr_in local;
#if defined(_WIN32)
    WSADATA wsaData;
    int wsaret=WSAStartup(0x202,&wsaData);
    if(wsaret!=0) {
        cout << "WSA FAILED";
        return 0;
    }
#endif
    local.sin_family = AF_INET;

    local.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

    local.sin_port = htons((u_short)2250);

    server = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
    
#if defined(__linux__)
   if(server == -1) 
#elif defined(_WIN32)
   if(server == INVALID_SOCKET) 
#endif
   {
      cout << "Invalid socket";
      return 0;
   }
    if(bind(server,(sockaddr*)&local,sizeof(local))!=0){
        cout << "BIND FAILED";
        return 0;
    }
    if(listen(server,10)!=0) {
        cout << "LISTEN FAILED"; 
        return 0;
    }

    struct sockaddr_in from;
    #if defined(__linux__)
        socklen_t fromlen = sizeof(from);
    #elif defined(_WIN32)
        int fromlen = sizeof(from);
    #endif
    cout << "Network setup finished\n";
    cout << "Ready for connections\n"; 


It's writtin in C++... yes I know I used the php tags.. but I like the syntax highlighting

Well this is only the network stuff, but should hopefully give you an idea
