#177 serveme.tf - free server reservations in Projects

Just a small QoL update. A button to copy the settings of your previous reservation and make a new one. You can also right click this button and share this URL. It will only copy server config, whitelist and first map, not your rcon.

#176 serveme.tf - free server reservations in Projects

I think the steam docs and the announcement put it quite well:

Steam Datagram Relay (SDR) is Valve's virtual private gaming network. Using our APIs, you can not only carry your game traffic over the Valve backbone that is dedicated for game content, you also gain access to our network of relays. Relaying the traffic protects your servers and players from DoS attack, because IP addresses are never revealed. All traffic you receive is authenticated, encrypted, and rate-limited. Furthermore, for a surprisingly high number of players, we can also find a faster route through our network, which actually improves player ping times.

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay

First, relaying traffic anonymizes it, protecting both gameservers and clients from denial-of-service attacks. Furthermore, because routing decisions are made dynamically by the client, if a relay becomes unavailable, clients can switch to a different relay within seconds, perhaps at a different point-of-presence if necessary. For an attacker to disrupt gameplay, they must mount an attack large enough to overwhelm multiple data centers.

Second, clients can select a route that gets off of the public Internet and onto our dedicated links as early as possible. On our backbone we can ensure that the routing is optimal, since we have peered with over 2,500 ISPs.

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/1791775741704351698

I don't know if enabling SDR on the server with -enablefakeip delists them from the master server list, since we typically run "hide_server 1" on all gameservers anyway.

#174 serveme.tf - free server reservations in Projects

A small update, which could help if you experience a bad connection, poor routing or live further from the servers. All servers now support connecting through SDR (basically Valve's gaming VPN), in addition to direct connections.
So if you are on a server and have packet loss or unexpected high pings, type "!sdr" in chat to get the SDR connect info.

Just paste that in the TF2 console to connect to the same server, but this time through SDR.

As an example, this helped lower my ping to one of the Chicago servers, the first row is me on SDR, with a private SDR IP, the second row is me on a direct connection to the server:

cukei7.4 GB of api requests in 5 hours...? respect.

edit: its this function btw

There's also a queues endpoint which gets polled once a minute. It appears to return a list of all matches ever played and all the players in those matches and the pug histories of those players. While it probably just should return the current queues.

So that's become a 1.7MiB JSON with 80k lines. It gets loaded 5 times after opening the site.

#334 Logs.tf match stats in Projects
Yoshi_Basically I want to rename each pattern like "na.serveme.tf #516006: RED vs BLU" to "TF2Pugs.com - (pug id)"

You could set "logstf_title" through RCON after your serveme.tf reservation starts.

Uploading duplicates is what TF2Center does.

More info on how and why in these two blogposts.

#4 Displaying stats on-stream? in Videos
WiethoofdAlternatively, if you have rcon access to the server you can try setting up this Ruby on Rails live log listener...

Please don't use that. It's unmaintained and not user friendly. I just wrote it for myself because it was something interesting for VanillaTV at the time, so that's some indication of how old it is ;)

People from Russia and Belarus can make reservations on the site again. Just tick the "I am not a vatnik" box and you're good to go.

#55 TF2 Center is closing in two days in TF2 General Discussion
TwiggyHow do you know how much it costs? Total web noob here.

I was at MasterNoob's this summer and we discussed it, not as in me buying it, just my thoughts on him pulling the plug.

He's been looking for someone to take over and buy the whole thing for a while because he hasn't had the same interest in the site as he once had.

Asking for a friend.
