[TF2] Servers

[Ronin Storm]

I'm most of the way through configuring us with two server instances for TF2.

Say hello to:

• TF2 [green svr] on port 25016
• TF2 [purple svr] on port 25015

They're both on Promethius but she should be able to handle the load. I'll be taking purple down later for some under-the-hood changes but, other than that, they are functionally identical.

Res-slots are still being a bit of an arse. We'll look at them over time. Hopefully, though, we should find it easier to play on our own servers this way. Since bringing purple back up last night she's been running full the majority of the time...

everyone go to the green one, Green is clearly the dominant server.


sorry had to say that

 

[Ronin Storm]

Lies! Purple! Purple FTW!

 

[elDiablo]

BROWN!

And kudos to Ronin for slacking off work to make our gaming lives better!

 

[Ronin Storm]

De nada.

I took this afternoon off to find my sense of humour. Still looking... :/

 

[KillCrazy]

I think there is something wrong with the server. I connected and it wasn't purple in any way.

 

[Ronin Storm]

Yeah. Map colouring to come later. For now, imagine everything a sort of ribena berry purple.

Or a grass green, if visiting green.

(Unless you were actually being serious, in which case more details please!)

I've actually had a purple bug ! but i think that was my client ...

All of the water, and poster / picture things on the walls were a ribena sort of purple !

I was very confused

 

[Ronin Storm]

No no, that's correct. Purple water. As if you're swimming in ribena.

May I ask why purple and green? Horrible choices IMHO

I think red and blue like the colour of the teams would be more appropriate but thats just me.

In homage to a Babylon 5 episode.

Purple server currently seems to be rather choppy, with a crash towards the end of Hydro. This might be the new release or something might be awry with Promethius. Please report any/all crashes here with a time and which server.

It'd be useful to know if both green and purple are down at the same time (that'd imply Promethius) or if they're down separately (which would probably imply TF2 release problem).

Note that both times we hit a crash this morning, I was doing something as an engineer. (In one case dropping a teleport exit, in the other case dying as I'd switched classes outside of the spawn.) Probably a coincidence, but it did seem rather odd to me.

I noticed strange clipping problems after death when playing on the server last night. Also some ragdolls behaved oddly, like moving across the map along the ground long after death... don't know if it was the update, my client, or the server.

 

[Ronin Storm]

I wonder if any of these are artefacts of running on 64bit linux...

Green Server crash @ 15:33 - Happened as KC kicked someone.

EDIT: When KC tried to kick someone it crashed, and when he kicked himself it crashed.

 

[KillCrazy]

There is to be a sourcemod update to be released within the next 2-3 weeks which will hopefully fix a few bugs. At the moment it appears that kicking and banning within the mod menu is crashing and rebooting the server, so we should avoid using it until I have updated sourcemod.

At the moment the only way to kick someone would be to alert someone with rcon access. If someone should be added to the ban list or is being abusive, record their steam ID and pass it on over the forums where it will be added manually.

Screenies and condump are important here. Demos are ideal. From people we know, we're likely to accept less evidence. From people we don't, demos are pretty much obligatory. I'm sure you get the picture.
