Gameserver Monitoring
Jun 9, 2007I'm trying to do up a gameserver monitoring script whereby, I'm able to check if a particular game service is up or down.
In this example, I'm trying to check if the port 7777 is up (Unreal Tournament server).
PHP Code:
<?php$server = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx";$fp = fsockopen("$server",7777,$errno,$errstr,30); if ($fp) { $fplist = green; } else { fclose($fp); $fplist = red; }?>Colour is <?php echo $fplist; ?>
I've tried this on an actual UT server which is currently online, but for some reason, it keeps on giving me red (to signify a down service).
Creating A Gameserver In Shell
Dec 10, 2008I have recently bought a dedicated box and want to run some gameservers on it. I know how to install server at all with hldsupdatetool. But the thing I need to know: what is the perfect command line to get 1000FPS constant server with pingbooster and cpu priority.
./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 11 +map de_dust2 +port 27015 -autoupdate - I DONT KNOW THE REST TO GET GREAT SERVERS ( i know +sys_ticrate but not the value to add after this.. )
I'm Being DOS Attacked By A Gameserver Company!
Dec 20, 2008My internet connection started cutting out and I found it strange, I presumed it was with my ISP and so I ignored it as they're pretty crap, then it carried on today so I did some investigation (Turned on error logging for my router) so I go ahead and wait, an hour later my internet connection cuts out, to the logs!
Sat, 2008-12-20 22:01:38 - UDP Packet - Source:89.238.152.200,28960 Destination:192.168.1.103,28960 - [Firewall Log-DOS] ....
Am I correct in thinking there are multiple IP addresses "Attacking" my home network? If so, that's mighty strange and should I be worried?
I checked some of the IPs, most go to dedicateds around the world. One is a gameserver admin panel. Have these been hijacked and being used to "Attack" me?
I have a theory, be it probably wrong; The port number 28960 is used by Call of Duty 1 as the "default" port for a gameserver, and I play a lot of CoD1. Therefore, presumably, that port is open by our router, 28960, so somehow they've found this to be open and are "attacking" it. I'm not sure, but it seems possible, not sure why though.
192.168.1.103 is presumably ME on our subnet? Router is linksys
Virtual Private Server As A GameServer WORKS GREAT
Apr 22, 2009I ordered a vps from knownhost the other day for $50/mo w/ cpanel
I have been using it for:
hosting of my own websites and 5 other clients (15 websites total)
installed a counter-strike source 11slot 100tick 500fps server w/ srctv on it and it RUNS GREAT!! solid 500fps, no lag/choke, wonderful registration!
cpu load maxes at around 60% and ram usage is about 80%
after being with nearly ever game server provider out there my team has agreed that this is the best server we've ever had.
so to all of you people wondering about it, YES, you can run a gameserver on a vps, and I reccommend it to everyone. Not only will it save you money, but you will be able host all your websites and run even a ventrilo server if you want.
