Due to a faulty RAID-controller, the servers are down since this morning. They will be up next week at the earliest.

Killing Floor summer campaign 2012

Posted: July 6th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Killing Floor, Tech stuff, updates | Tags: , , | Comments Off

Killing Floor recently released a mandatory server update for their summer campaign. In order to update the server you have to ditch the good old hlsdupdatetool and start using steamcmd. Steamcmd requires a steam account, so I created a free one just for this.

Here are some of the steps taken:

  1. Created a subfolder for the server user, kf-ds
  2. Downloaded the steamcmd-binary and extracted it into the new folder
  3. Made a script for updating the server, called kfserver_script, according to the new steamcmd way, in that folder:

    login [STEAM_USER] [STEAM_PASSWORD]
    force_install_dir [SERVER_ROOT]/kf-ds
    app_update 215360 validate
    exit
  4. In the server home folder executed the command

    STEAMEXE=steamcmd [SERVER_ROOT]/kf-ds/steam.sh +runscript [SERVER_ROOT]/kf-ds/kfserver_script

Now the server files are downloaded and verified. The binary is still in the System-directory, but they have changed all folder names from lower case to starting with a capital letter.

Starting the server is done using

cd [SERVER_ROOT]/kf-ds/System
./ucc-bin server kf-hellride.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6

If it starts OK, you can use a init.d-wrapper script that starts, stops and updates the server. That’s how we do it, running the server in a separate Screen. There is more info on the changes over at the Killing Floor wiki.

SourceMod 1.4.2 Released

Posted: April 18th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Tech stuff, updates | Comments Off

Apparently SourceMod prior to 1.4.2 contains a nasty security bug, so this update is rather important.

All of our servers have been updated, and tf.muppfarmen.se seems to have gotten some fresh gamedata as well.

Read all about the release over at SourceMod HQ

tf2.muppfarmen.se in the virtual xen-space

Posted: January 21st, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Team Fortress 2, Tech stuff, updates | Comments Off

The work involving tf2.muppfarmen.se and mumble2.muppfarmen.se is progressing.

The server  is now a minimal Debian Squeeze running as a XEN appliance. The next step is to set up a http server and a MySQL server for web and database duties.

mumble2.muppfarmen.se is up and running as of now.

tf2.muppfarmen.se is up, but the HLStatsX CE engine is not up yet, since we haven’t set up the database and web portions yet.
