Admin Mod TF2 Linux

[TheHunterofShadows]

Thus far as far as I can tell there are no admin mods for TF2 for linux. I see that Beetlesmod has a beta windows admin mod for tf2 but not yet for linux.

A) Does any one know of an admin mod for tf2 for linux?

B) Those who don't and are running servers what methods are you using?

I have a 3.2Ghz P4 HT with 1gb of ram.
I will have 1mb up soon and will run a 16 player server. Right now I figure I will just use rcon which is a pain. I've been running a CSS server for a while and used mani admin mod. But that won't work for tf2 either.
I was thinking of using perl and creating a simple web page to change maps and kick/ban people. Using the screen utility I should be able to send commands to a running server using perl I would hope. Will find out.

Any thoughts from any one else?
Right now I am using webmin to run a start and stop script for the tf2 server itself.

I did a search and came across this:

I'm not sure if Linux is supported though as I haven't downloaded it and checked it out. It claims to support TF2 though. Anyway, hope it might help!

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't support linux at the moment. I had looked that this one.

At the bottom of the page it says this:
Beta requires sourcemm 1.6 / only works with TF2 / Windows only for now ( requires sdk update from valve for nix support)

You know it really suprises me, I would think that there would be more linux srcds servers out there. Well I guess I would be preaching to the quire, in think category but I just seems that linux is a better/cheaper way to host game servers.

Has any one tried HLSW?

Oh, sorry man.

Yep, it's a shame the Linux community always trails behind the Windows one. I too am amazed, since Linux is definitely 'the original and best' when it comes to hosting servers. Plus it's far easier to SSH into a box remotely and do something than relying on a remote desktop or VNC. AND Linux has a whole host of useful utils that Windows doesn't even come CLOSE to having.

I could go on...

But back to the issue: I guess we will just have to wait, sorry

Im trying to get it going for linux..but still cant get the linux files from steam.
Im downloading the ones that someone posted in the other thread ...but 1 gig will take this slow connection about 12 hours to get it..
If anyone has all the .so files and could rar them up and post that..I might get that much closer to a build that much quicker.

I now have both a linux and windows version

if you want to script out some stuff ( perl etc ) then launch your server like

screen -d -m -S DSServer ./srcds_run -game tf -console -ip X.X.X.X -port 27015 +map cp_well

then all you need to do to send commands to it is

screen -S DSServer -X <command>
