FYI: chaining your ETTV !

[daita]

Principal advantage of ETTV chaining is the minimum use of slots on game server, so minimum ressource use.

We gonna split with one script to broadcast (connect to the game server, record the demo, create delay and create the Hub), and an other one to manage a slave that connect on the ETTV Hub Server.

broadcast.sh

#!/bin/sh

# information about the game server
MATCH_HOST="match.pourix.net"
MATCH_PASS="password"
MATCH_ETTV_PASS="ettv_password"



ETTV_NAME="^xIX^dmarlene^7"
ETTV_MOTD="^dPour^xIX^7, broadcasting"

BROADCASTER_HOST="213.251.145.136" #host of the broadcaster
BROADCASTER_ADMIN="passadmin"

SHOUTCASTER_PORT="49999" # port of the first server (recorder)
BROADCASTER_PORT="50000" # port of the hub server (player)

BROADCASTER_SLAVES=4 # number of slots on the Hub
BROADCASTER_PASS="pass1" # password1 to access the hub
BROADCASTER_ETTV_PASS="pass2" #password2 to access the hub

SHOUTCAST_DELAY=60 # delay


# no need to change anything behind this line.
rm ~/.etwolf/etpro/demos/demo*

./ettv.x86 +set fs_game etpro \
+set net_ip $BROADCASTER_HOST +set net_port $SHOUTCASTER_PORT +set com_hunkMegs 48 +set ettv_autorecord 1 \
+set sv_maxclients 4 +set ettv_clientname $ETTV_NAME +set sv_hostname $ETTV_MOTD +map oasis \
+set g_password $BROADCASTER_ADMIN +set rconpassword $BROADCASTER_ADMIN \
+set sv_maxRate 25000 +set sv_allowDownload 1 +set sv_wwwDownload 1 \
+set sv_wwwBaseURL $ET_DL_URL +set sv_wwwDlDisconnected 0 \
+tv connect $MATCH_HOST $MATCH_ETTV_PASS $MATCH_PASS &


sleep $SHOUTCAST_DELAY

./ettv.x86 +set fs_game etpro \
+set net_ip $BROADCASTER_HOST +set net_port $BROADCASTER_PORT +set com_hunkMegs 128 \
+set sv_maxclients $((BROADCASTER_SLAVES+4)) +set ettv_clientname $ETTV_NAME +set sv_hostname $ETTV_MOTD \
+set g_password $BROADCASTER_PASS +set rconpassword $BROADCASTER_ADMIN \
+set sv_maxRate 25000 +set sv_allowDownload 1 +set sv_wwwDownload 1 \
+set sv_wwwBaseURL $ET_DL_URL +set sv_wwwDlDisconnected 0 \
+set sv_wwwFallbackURL $ET_DL_URL \
+set ettv_autoplay 1 +demo demo0000 \
+set ettv_password $BROADCASTER_ETTV_PASS \
+set b_ettv_flags 3 \
+set ettv_sv_maxslaves $BROADCASTER_SLAVES

And for slaves, just have one script by slave server:
slave.sh

#!/bin/sh

BROADCAST_HOST="213.251.145.136:50000" # IP of the hub
BROADCAST_PASS="pass1" #pass1
BROADCAST_ETTV_PASS="pass2" #pass2

SLAVE_HOST="213.251.145.136" # infos on the slave
SLAVE_PORT="27960"
SLAVE_RCON="rcon_pass"
SLAVE_USERS="110"

SLAVE_MOTD="^dPour^xIX^7, broadcasting"
SLAVE_NAME="^xIX^7, tv1"


ET_DL_URL="http://et.pr0npaganda.net/"

./ettv.x86 +set fs_game etpro \
+set net_ip $SLAVE_HOST +set net_port $SLAVE_PORT +set com_hunkMegs "512" \
+set sv_maxclients $SLAVE_USERS +set ettv_clientname $SLAVE_NAME \
+set rconpassword $SLAVE_RCON +set sv_hostname $SLAVE_MOTD \
+set sv_maxRate 25000 +set sv_allowDownload 1 +set sv_wwwDownload 1 \
+set sv_wwwBaseURL $ET_DL_URL +set sv_wwwDlDisconnected 0 \
+set sv_wwwFallbackURL $ET_DL_URL \
+tv connect $BROADCAST_HOST $BROADCAST_ETTV_PASS $BROADCAST_PASS

Chaining is f*cking cool, because of the limit/tension we always reach on big match (like next one on thurday ;p). But we'll try not to polemic on this forum. :]

so it works ok now? ettv for all @ new etpro now cb must update...

[Lekdevil.NL]

Thanks Daita; excellent scripts that!

Bartichello: the ETTV code is an untested release, requiring an interim bugfix release of the ET Pro server code. See: this thread. Things are definitely moving in the right direction, but I'd say the code needs a lot more testing before I would be confident enough to run a league or tournament on it.

Great scripts! One thing to add (cosmetic really):

ET_DL_URL="yoururl"

I also added the following on my own box (gamed is a user on my system with limited privileges):

Code: Select all

screen -dmS ettv_$SHOUTCASTERPORT su -m -c "./ettv.x86 (...)" - gamed

and

Code: Select all

screen -dmS ettv_$BROADCASTERPORT su -m -c "./ettv.x86 (...)" - gamed

This way the daemons are launched in a separate screen and you can go into their screen with:

Code: Select all

screen -r ettv_49999
screen -r ettv_50000

etc...

EDIT: it's "su -m -c"

nice, need chaining for Qcon ETTV extravaganza \o/

even better if it works on winblows too!

[Bartichello]

go beta test it quickly ...

[deej]

I have a working 2.60 setup with ETTV & chained slaves .

The hub is here: et.qsgames.com:50000, pm me for the password
The first broadcaster: fragland.org:27960.
