Nice! I like this idea...

I'm assuming the cpanel samples over a longer length of time. If you use top, or sar, you'll can exact measurements from the kernel. However, if you ever sit there and watch a process, you will notice it spikes up and down up and down, it never runs at a nominal level. When TCA collects its samples, it more than likely falls on a valley in the graph vs a peak, or its using an average based on a number of samples. Mono is going to utilize a decent amount of memory, remember its an emulator, so its running a program through a program, thus consuming the memory of the later. You can use the following commands in *ix to get a better idea of how things have been running: if you wanted to view the load averages for your server from the 23rd of the month, you would run this command: [user@host ~]$ sar -q -f /var/log/sa/sa23 (ls -al /var/log/sa/ and see which dates are available, substitte as needed) Current CPU usage Run "top", and on the line that says "Cpu(s)", check the "%id" section which shows the percentage of which your CPUs are idle. The higher the number the better. A 99% idle CPU is not doing much of anything, and a 1% idle CPU is heavily tasked. [user@host ~]$ top c Tip: hit "P" to sort by processes that are currently consuming the most CPU. Historical CPU usage Check the "%idle" column: [user@host ~]$ sar -p Current memory usage: [user@host ~]$ free -m Tip: run "top c" and hit "M" to see which processes are consuming the most memory. Historical memory usage This depends on the version of sar, which used to use '-r' to show %memused and %swpused (swap memory used), but later changed to '-S' to show %swpused. Check "%memused" and "%swpused": [user@host ~]$ sar -r Hope that helps

I've been talkin to him, should be able to get him setup ready to go, with no fees

my skype is galoregameservers Depends on what you want done and what you are willing to pay. Not looking for a perm job, got 3 of those already. -Adam

Cheers - Mines a little different than yours, so if anyone has any issues I can post mine as well - verified working obviously. Appears valve is starting to heed some of the communities wants finally. Yay -Adam

lol...That came outta left field....I'm assuming you aren't running TCA2 then, or you would already know the answer to that....

Whoops - Sorry, good catch. I fixed that and re-uploaded. -Adam

If you are having issues with the automatic way, you can still do it manually easily. I'm a manual guy, and I always like doing things manually to ensure its done properly whenever I can. This is how I completed the task in such a fashion for all my servers in under 2 hours. Step 1. BACKUPS! -- Back up TCA2 db. (I have daily backups of server files, but if you don't you should backup server files also for each server) Step 2. Installed new servers for every gameserver I had utilizing new steampipe gametype, and using 1 port number higher on same ip. Step 3. Copied *addons* / *cfg* / *maps* from old server, to new server directories. Step 4. Deleted old servers from TCA2 Step 5. Changed IP's 1 port number down to reflect original port number. Step 6. Update server modifications (Sourcemod, Metamod, Eventscripts, SPE, and all plugins) The only thing that then needs to be set is the command line, and any specific TCA user permissions to the gameserver.

Hey guys, I went ahead and edited kaosx's config and just changed a few things to remove the 'beta' params and release as a new config for the official steampipe css build. Credit goes to Kaosx for the original. -Adam Updated: Fixed console log error. css-steampipe - Windows.xml

People HATE captcha, it sucks, 75% of the time you can't read the damn image!!! lol Would be AWESOME to have http://areyouahuman.com/ included as an option instead of captcha -- or even just a configurable space to include your own 'code' for 3rd party security there. Nothing 'major' -- but we swapped our forums to areyouahuman, and have 0 spam since doing so and massive increase in user registrations VS captcha. (I understand this is a different application, but the fact remains CAPTCHA SUX!) :} Thanks for reading the thread. -Adam

WARNING: NNET_OpenSocket: bind: WSAEACCES This means it cannot bind to the specific IP. This could be a permission issue, or a user issue. Try running it under an admin account, and I bet it will work. You need to find whatever permissions are wrong, and or whatever is causing it to not be able to bind properly. This is most likely causing your VAC problem. Can you post your full command line? -Adam

start the server in and use -condebug and it will write everything from console to console.log In that file, it should list 'connecting to valve servers...blah blah' 'connecting to vac servers....blah blah' It should tell you the error there, if there is an error. If there isn't an error, then either you don't have the proper ports open to the firewall, or your ip is blacklisted for some reason. -Adam

Personally, I think Luis decides what features are more pertinent fairly well. I am more grateful that they released it and are producing updates rather than not release it for another 2+ years while they continue to build it out. Think about it from both sides of the fence. We were using both for quite some time, but now only use TCA2, and we have no issues. Certain tasks are a little more complex, and or not possible, but we are used to adapting and overcoming. Make it work!

Very good point! That too .
