Dedicated SM HL2 server - load test

[primesuspect]

-tk has set up a dedicated SM HL2MP server for our toilet-chucking pleasure. However, we would like to load test it before launching it "fo' real' doe"

I'm hoping to get 10 people on tonight around 10:00 PM

Please PM me for address and password info.

First come, first serve.

I am taking up one slot, TheSMJ is taking up one slot, so that leaves 8.

[EMT]

It's Friday, so chances are I'll be out. Good luck though. If it turns out I'm around and you still have space of course, I'll ask and try to get in.

[Nomad]

PM sent.

[scott]

You guys hosed me pretty good last night. But I need the practice so I would love to get fragged again tonight.

PM on its way

Scott aka NITRO

[GnomeWizardd]

I am on right now! running sweet someone join in!

[scott]

I just tried to join you Gnome. when I started steam it updated something. I then entered the IP and password prime just sent and when "retrieving server info " I got this.


Scott

[shwaip]

most likely you need to update your version of hl2dm...or prime does.

[scott]

I checked Steam news and it seems they had an update today. I must have a slightly newer version than the server. Is it possible to restart steam on the server ? Or has everyone left Sarcnet?

when i get home from work i can setup my server and it will have the updated version. just let me know

[primesuspect]

right, but that would sort of defeat the purpose of the load test, max :)

I'll update it.

[maximusbad]

well yea that is true, sorry just trying to help out

[TheSmJ]

Durr, Brian? YGPMed (a couple times).

[shwaip]

btw...if you add "-autoupdate" to srcds_run, it'll....autoupdate when you start the server.

[GnomeWizardd]

I am ready to kill! altho ive had 5 smirnofs and will have prolly 6 more by 10

[primesuspect]

Notice how he is getting his excuse prepared... "Oh, i was drunk that's why i lost" :woowoo:

[TheSmJ]

Well I'd say he's covered by either being too drunk or lagged.

Wish I thoughta it first. He can't just plain suck now, can he? :rolleyes:

[primesuspect]

Dude

I'm having serious trouble getting this thing updated

the auto update seems to not be working

when I run the steam -update hl2mp -username blahblah -password blahblah command all it says is:

"Checking bootstrapper"
"Connection reset by peer"

the end.

urgh.

[pseudonym]

I just went through all the updating on my end and it was kind of a hassle, nothing seemed to be working right, but it finished in the end and it worked, something is messed up though.

[primesuspect]

game's off. I give up

I can't get this thing to update for the life of me.

[Black Hawk]

Call/Email their tech support? :crazy:

[maximusbad]

prime when i get home from work i can setup a game server ok, i should be home around 11est

[primesuspect]

okay, post the details for everybody :)

Thanks, max!

[maximusbad]

hey that's cool, i'll get it up as soon as i get home

[GnomeWizardd]

[maximusbad]

[maximusbad]

ok guys i'm home and i gotta do a quick reboot, the ip address will be 68.110.246.97:27015

[GnomeWizardd]

hey say all you want i had a girl over and i didnt even touch her even tho i so wanted too!

[maximusbad]

ok guys it's up and running

[GnomeWizardd]

says not responding

[GnomeWizardd]

BTW what was with primes server i was on it for over an hr running around

[maximusbad]

ok try it now, i have the public port as 27015 and my private port as 80

[GnomeWizardd]

still no go

[maximusbad]

ok try now

[TheSmJ]

I can't even see it.

[GnomeWizardd]

i keep getting no response

[maximusbad]

damn it what could be wrong

[TheSmJ]

hey say all you want i had a girl over and i didnt even touch her even tho i so wanted too!


Whatever suits you I guess.

[TheSmJ]

Are you sure all the ports you need forwarded are?

[maximusbad]

the port should be 27015

[maximusbad]

ok guys i got it, try now

[Nomad]

I see it fine, but the map is crossfire which I don't have.

[maximusbad]

is it not downloading it to you?

[TheSmJ]

It is for me, but slowly.

[maximusbad]

it does that to me too even if i'm playing on a t1 server

[TheSmJ]

Yeah, I really think it's speed (or lack thereof) has something to do with HL2, not the server itself.

[shwaip]

arg...sorry I missed this...drinking...then taco bell run...then "Busty Cops" on Cinemax...


what you want to do is

./srcds_run -console -game hl2mp -steamuser username -steampass password +map dm_lockdown -autoupdate -debug -pingboost 3 +maxplayers 12

you can leave out -console if you just want it to run in the background.
leave -debug if you're having problems
if your server is fast enough, -pingboost 3 tends to reduce pings

it's often useful to make a script and just run that.

[primesuspect]

still doesn't work. autoupdate is turned on, but it still says "master server request restart" blah blah blah and then "please restart the server" or some crap, and then when I restart the server it does the same thing over and over again. When I try running steam with -update, it just says "connection reset by peer"

urgh this is so damned frustrating.

[shwaip]

They _just_ lost their dbase, so that's why there are no posts...anywhere.
