It would be easier to post if my cursor wasn't replaced with this dumb-butt guy.

 

Number #1. fastdl.xengoamers.com is 100% broken ingame it's not sending files properly.

 

Number #2. Make sure only mp3.bz2, mp3, bsp, bsp.bz2 is in the location statement. then.

map $geoip_city_continent_code $closest_server {
       default fastdl.eu.xenogamers.com;
       NA fastdl.op1.site.nfoservers.com;
       SA fastdl.op1.site.nfoservers.com;;
       EU fastdl.eu.xenogamers.com;
       OC fastdl.op1.site.nfoservers.com;;
       AS fastdl.eu.xenogamers.com;
}

Done.

And iirc, Silence stated he wanted to keep it an adult community.. but it never has been. Most of the members are young. Plus, why restrict the number of people who can join? It just reduces the popularity of xG and reduces chances of donations.

Most of the time, people under 16 simply don't donate since they don't have the means to.

I would like the download table modified for redirects on fastdl.us.xenogamers.com, so all files within the location statement download from fastdl.op1.site.nfoservers.com instead of fastdl.us. Keep the fastdl.eu redirects for as and eu setup like normal.

 

Apon testing, I found Seattle has better transit overall than Chicago. Mainly due to the large SIX exchange point NFO is directly connected to. So it's better that large files are sent here instead.

Can you just post an updated table from this format:

>map $geoip_city_continent_code $closest_server {
       default fastdl.eu.xenogamers.com;
       NA fastdl.us.xenogamers.com;
       SA fastdl.us.xenogamers.com;
       EU fastdl.eu.xenogamers.com;
       OC fastdl.us.xenogamers.com;
       AS fastdl.eu.xenogamers.com;
}

I think it's the CPU governor in a kernel. Not exactly sure though, I'm just using the 3.18 kernel for stability reasons.

Alright lol. If I was noticing issues with the kernel I would just download a beta version and recompile haha.

Compiling a new scheduler would likely be the best fix to take advantage of the 4.1 kernel improvements. The 3.18 kernel just works aswell, but is abit older lts. But if your load is so low it's using less than a single core, there wouldn't be any negative effects honestly. Also, a spike like that hits game servers more than anything in terms of consistent pref.

What do you mean by compiling a new scheduler?

It was messing up my game-servers under higher loads. I checked the process ids and a lot were assigned to the same thread. Then looked at the kernel change-log and found out the scheduler was updated not a consistence. I first heard about it from anther person who was also having trouble with game-servers.

 

Theoretically it won't cause any issues if the total machine load is less than 100% of a single core. Might be a regression, but it's the stacking pids on the same thread, then switching when there's a lag spike which is stupid. It keeps going back and forth which causes split second stutters.

Is there a patch available?

@Rhododendron

 

There's an issue with the 4.x.x Linux kernels distributed with NFO's unmanaged Gentoo images. A new Linux scheduler was released which cares about power saving more than performance. It doesn't distribute load properly between cores. Shared threads are used; then, when there's a massive spike the load gets moved afterwards. This lags certain applications to death, by not putting on correct physical threads.

 

I would highly recommend compiling a new scheduler or using a 3.18 kernel if there's any issues present.

 

You can check which thread the process ids of an application are on by using the following command.

>
ps -p PID -L -o tid,pid,psr,pcpu

I've not noticed any issues with the MariaDB or Webserver since the load is usually under 10%. Kernel version is 4.1.12-gentoo.

And where was this reported?

If you can, could you be more specific about that? I am to assume it is because of the idling sounds....

 

If it is because of that, it's quite a shítter. They're supposed to ward off campers. :(

The idling sounds are a part, even the teleporters has it which is a little annoying but it's whatever haha.

I have two reasons for the removal:

1. It cuts off parts of the map to other teams, making the map feel smaller. Now the opposite team cannot explore near the other team's spawn, and it's frustrating.

2. Sentry respawn time being set to 10 seconds is way too quick. I was gonna just update the time via S:S but I figured people would still complain, so I just removed them completely.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but maybe we can make a SM plugin to target the sentries and change the range of fire, so it would only shoot REALLY close, but even then it still might be aggravating.

Don't the teleporters help ward off spawn camping? Maybe make a front and back exit for the spawn in the city?

I'm not sure :( I just know the sentries in their current state are not very fun.

Also, I did remove the Sentries from the server since people were complaining about it.

The only issue I have is the sign for the bike shop. It's WAY too close to the teleporter for the bike shop, and makes walking past it a chore!

@Rhododendron @Nomulous

Is it possible to make it so I can start threads with no title? I'm tired of naming them "please enter a valid title" cause I can't make it with no name. Just wondering.

You need to make a thread with a title appropriate to it's content. How else will user's know to view it?

I mean, it's a nice service to have, but only if it's opt-in and DOESN'T affect other players if you don't have it.

Well yeah haha :D Valve hasn't said anything about these trading services so it feels like in the past year they have really come out against them.

Even so....

 

It's bullfudge that it's being enforced in the first place, simply because people are incompetent and can't figure out how to use the trading confirmation. So all of us have to suffer because a select few got scammed?

Meh :/ I would like to see like an enterprise system where you can sign up for a more streamlined trading user. Then these services wouldn't be affected. That would be so nice.

Ah crap. I can see why they are doing it, they probably get flooded with support requests due to trading issues.

none of this "you can have the case but if you open up (insert really nice/expensive gun here) then it's mine." no, i'm putting in the money for the keys so i'm going to keep whatever I open and potentially do giveaways/raffles.

No deal!

Also, that bleed song is gosh darn ear rape. please no.

Find a censored version.

+1 replace the bleep song with this @Rhododendron

It can't have bad words in it :(

Yeah I've been asking Snackbar to post the P/D and him and a bunch of other high-level staff talk about different changes (mostly related to the CS:GO division) in Teamspeak. You GOTTA be more active @Chrono since we need to move fast to keep up with the rate we are growing.

+1 fantastic guy, lots of fun on Jailbreak!

The Wiki is still being setup, once its ready I'll give everyone access.

+1 cool guy

Changed his name to Wario. PM me if you want me to change it to something else.
