A(Z) Weasel's Lair's Regulars CSOPORTRÓL

Home of players of the Weasel's Lair game-servers

Discord:

Invite Link[discord.gg] (updated 2024-08-14)

Player statistics tracking:

http://Stats.WeaselsLair.com

Player ban management:

http://SourceBans.WeaselsLair.com ("appeal" a ban here[sourcebans.weaselslair.com])

How this works:

Anyone who is not a member of this Steam community group, can still play on our game-servers (assuming they are not banned), but will not have access to various special in-game features.
Anyone who shows-up as a "Member" of this Steam community group, is automatically granted access to some special in-game features (various types of "voting", "3rd-person", etc.) in our game-servers.
Anyone who shows-up as an "Officer" of this Steam community group (with the gold/yellow star "⭐" next to their name here), is also automatically an "administrator" of most of our game-servers.

Further, I have restored administrator access to most current or former (and, in some cases ancient) administrators from these Steam community groups:

Weasels Lair
Freaks & Misfits (now retired)
Saphe.Space (now retired)

For those who are administrators themselves, and perhaps do not remember all the other administrators in-game player names (since they do tend to change over time, and this group has existed in some form for probably over a decade now), you can lookup-up some of their former common names in this thread: Admin Info: List of current administrators. BTW: Access to that thread is restricted to existing administrators only, since administrators may want to keep some of that information (former names) confidential.

Changes to stats/ranking system

szeptember 18. - [WL] Weasel Ⓢ (Probably AFK) | 0 megjegyzés

For the last few years, we have been using an outside stats/ranking service known as http://www.gameme.com. They were a commercial service that grew out of the over-wall "HLStats" family of stuff. It was a good solution, since it did not require hosting another database and web-site for the stats/ranking system.

Unfortunately, http://www.gameme.com has announced to their customers, that they are effectively shutting-down their operation in the near future. Here is a quote from their "admin" page:

gameME Stats Hosting Service Closing All gameME Stats subscriptions will be automatically cancelled. The gameME Stats hosting service will continue to be available until October 30, 2024. After that date, all gameME Stats accounts will be closed. The gameME Stats control panel at https://www.gameme.com will remain accessible until November 30, 2024. During this time, we will provide a way for every gameME Stats customer to download their database. This ensures that no one will lose any of their data. Timeline: > gameME Stats hosting service will stop on October 30, 2024. > The gameME Stats control panel at https://www.gameme.com will be available until November 30, 2024. During this time, customers can download their gameME Stats database. We would like to thank all our customers for their support over the years since we started in 2010.

Consequently, we are in the process of setting-up our own "HLStats" system. The latest version I could find was HLStatsX:Community Edition (aka "HLStatsX:CE"), from about five (5) years ago, from this GitHub[github.com],

So, the code is a bit old, but everything basically seems to still work.

Work is in progress to reconfigure each of our game-servers to be attached to our own HLStatsX:CE system, instead of http://www.gameme.com.

As a consequence, all stats/rankings are effectively reset to zero.

The base starting points has been changed from new players starting with 1000 points, to starting with 1 point (I never liked that 1000 point thing!), along with a few other setting tweaks.

The URL for the new HLStatsX:CE system will be:
http://hlstats.weaselslair.com

Please note that work to convert each game-server from one stats/ranking system to the other, i still a work-in-progress.

In particular, in-game prompts for stats/ranking information may not work correctly at the moment. Also, I am still working on tweaking how bots are treated in the system.

PS: Sometime on October 1st 2024, I will "reset" any stats on the new HLStatsX:CE to zero as the "official" start of that system for a new/clean month.

ANNOUNCING: Easy dedicated game-server system (wGASM)

június 12. - [WL] Weasel Ⓢ (Probably AFK) | 0 megjegyzés

For anyone interested in setting-up their own game-servers ...

I just finished a new free-to-use and easy-to-use system for setting-up, hosting and managing dedicated game-servers on Linux (specifically Debian family Linux distributions).

Links:

New (v2) guide on Steam:
Weasel's Game-Administrator / Server-Manager (wGASM), for Linux - v2
New (v2) content on GitHub:
Weasel's Game-Administrator / Server-Manager (wGASM), for Linux - v2[github.com]

Features:

Detailed instructions for preparation and installation in the guide.
Easy-to-use script, to prepare Debian Linux for the system. It installs all required packages, offers to create the unprivileged user, offers to install Webmin[webmin.com], etc.
Easy-to-use script, to install the system under the unprivileged user. It downloads the stuff from GitHub, puts it in the expected folders, offers to install SteamCMD for you, and offers to download and install the latest "Stencils" archive.
Some moron-detection to prevent you from running things under the wrong Linux user (i.e. do NOT run game-servers under root, etc.)
Configuration options are driven by a text-based configuration file.
Server details, game-types and other data stored in easy-to-edit plain-text and tab-separated-value (TSV) files.
No requirement to know how to use SteamCMD yourself - it does it all for you!
Supports 30+ games on Steam!
Of those, 10 have been fully tested and included in the examples.
See the guide for the full list of games that "should" work and "tested" to work.
Optional integration with Webmin[webmin.com] to operate everything in a web-browser!
Even the Webmin[webmin.com] stuff is driven by easy-to-edit plain-text files.
Minimal Linux experience required (know how to access with SSH, enter commands in the shell, not much else).
Minimal system requirements (2+ vCPU, 2+GB of Memory, 100+GB Storage) - how much depends mostly on what games you are hosting.
Minimal access requirements (SSH access, seperate root (or privileged sudo-enabled) and unprivileged game-servers accounts).
Supports creating and using "Stencils" (canned-configurations) that maybe be "Painted" onto (applied to) game-servers - making setting them up quicker. Examples are available for the 10 tested games.
Little (if any) script editing required - maybe just for scheduled cron jobs if you're into that.
If you want to setup scheduled cron[en.wikipedia.org] jobs to do maintenance (scheduled backups, graceful automatic updates, and automated health-checks), there are functions for that you can schedule for that!
Inexpensive support! ("best effort")

Weasel's Lair's Regulars értékelései

"Cool first-person-shooters (FPS's) with a variety of themes. Love to host game-servers for FPS's - where a Linux-based dedicated server build is available and compatible with either SourceMod and/or AMX-Mod-X."
