Yeah, that's fine. I appreciate any help I can get, slow or fast.

Are you even able to launch hltv on Linux? Last time I checked, valve broke hltv

It works just fine [on linux].

[ghostofmybrain]

Indeed. I've been running about five HLTVs non-stop for almost a year on CentOS.

It's nearly finished, but I was wondering about naming the demo files. Would something like demo_[timestamp].dem do?

HLTV adds a timestamp and mapname automatically. E.g.

record demoname
Recording initialized.
Start recording to demoname-1204020027-dod_kalt.dem.

But, you could put whatever you want in "demoname" of course. I'm guessing it's probably only limited by the filesystem as I've just test with 40 characters in "demoname".

Ok, thanks for testing. I'll set a default value then, which optionally can be overridden.

Thanks for clarifying that fysiks. I didn't see the thread before I went to bed last night.

That's odd. I'm getting tons of these error messages when I launched it on my Ubuntu server

$ ./hltv

Console initialized.
FileSystem initialized.
Error:libsteam_api_c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Edit: Disregard this. Found a fix here

Sorry for the long wait, ghostofmybrain. Although I'm sure things can/should be optimised, I kept things as simple as possible and spend as little time as possible on it ;-)

Requirements:

• PHP 5.2.8 or higher, with PDO
• MySQL 5 or higher

Installation:

1. extract and upload everything to your web space (preferrably into a directory that is password protected)
2. create a database and import hlds.sql
3. edit lib/db.php and change the values of $db_host, $db_user, $db_password and $db_database
4. open index.php in your browser and start adding/editing your servers
5. edit the path to db.php in cronjob/cronjob.php if you move conjob.php to a different location (recommended, but not required)
6. create a cronjob to have cronjob/cronjob.php executed at regular intervals:
   1. this requires the path to db.php to be absolute:

      php /path/to/cronjob.php

   2. and this allows for a relative path to db.php:

      cd /path/to/cronjob.php && php cronjob.php

   3. if you're unsure what your cronjob should look like, upload a seperate .php file with this line:
      PHP Code:

      <?php echo 'cd ' . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . ' &amp;&amp; php cronjob.php'; ?>
      open the file in your browser and use the output as your cronjob command

Disclaimer: I've not been able to test every aspect, had a fever, was busy with other stuff, don't know what I'm doing, blah blah unaccountable blah so use at your own risk! And feel free to report bugs (I'm sure there are plenty) here or in a PM.
