specifying ports (steam/vac etc.)

[BehaartesEtwas]

Hi all,

how can I specify all ports srcds is using? The game port can be set with -port or +port, but there are two more ports assigned (for steam/vac and the other for whatever). How can I assign them to a defined port number?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: -sport or -steamport do not work, I just tested both!

I think its -sourceport http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=619423 they seem to be using a cracked version but i think for steam that applies for what you are asking.

[BehaartesEtwas]

no, that doesn't work either, unfortunately. thanks anyway...

Good question BehaartesEtwas ... difficult name btw

I realy think valve should do a major overhaul of the port used. Make it more easy for us server admins to protect the servers. Guess is security is your main consern in this question.

Don't know. I think it takes first non-busy one.
Out of curiosity, why do you need it

[BehaartesEtwas]

because sometimes ports collide. it doesn't matter if the vac port srcds wants to assign is already taken, because it just picks another one then. but if one starts servers in a different order, it might happen that a port which shall be assigned as a client port for one server is already taken as vac port by another...

+port 27015 +tv_port 27016 +clientport 27017

+replay_port was there but now has been removed again.

thanks, that helps, but only partially. if I start the server like this:

Code:

./srcds_run -game cstrike +port 12345 +map de_dust2 +clientport 12346 +tv_port 12347

it gets the 3 specified ports associated, but also a 4th one:

Code:

css ~ # netstat --inet --listen -u -p -n | grep 10227
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12345           0.0.0.0:*                           10227/srcds_linux  
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12346           0.0.0.0:*                           10227/srcds_linux  
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12347           0.0.0.0:*                           10227/srcds_linux  
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:26906           0.0.0.0:*                           10227/srcds_linux

can I somehow fix the last port as well?

now my hard disk is broken. must have missed the port ;-)

Critical Hit!

[Stinkyfax]

can you connect to last port with telnet and find out WTH is it for?

If you are able to restore the rocked hard disk this value descriptions might give an answer:

Code:

Thanks, but this does not help either, unfortunately. CSS does not have a matchmaking system and also does not seem to use the systemlinkport. The other CVARs are for outgoing connections only...

I took the list from a css server...
