Try New Technology Networx

If you use SunShop and are wondering about how to keep your digital downloads off-server check this out!

I Hate Mountains is out and loaded to the server. As soon as the copy for Left 4 Dead 2 is out I’ll also be loading that. After watching server loads I have found 4 public servers to be too many with the current hardware installed so as to keep all game play on my servers a quality experience I have trimmed it down to 2 until I have the funds to further upgrade the hardware and add extra servers.

To get a copy of I Hate Mountains enjoy the selection of download sites found here.

Removed private L4D server and in return 4 public L4D servers to play on! Public L4D2 to come when I get more RAM…

After having it reported to me that the sv_search_key tended not to work with any Add-Ons turned on I did some research and found that the fix was renaming “dead air.vpk” to “dead_air.vpk” That VPK by itself was fine, but ran with the others I have it wouldn’t allow me to find the server using the sv_search_key as long as the space character was in the name. Renaming it and then enabling all the Add-Ons seems to have worked.

NOW to finish setting AIDE and SELinux up on the Left 4 Dead server.

I just finished some Server Hardening of the Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) server. It included working with iptables rules, audit, sysctl.conf, sshd_config, SELinux, AIDE, and a few other minor things. If anyone playing on that server notices any issues that started sometime between Friday and Sunday of this weekend please contact me ASAP so I can look into them before I apply these to Left 4 Dead.
