Hello, I'm still digging through the forums. I know how to set up admin permissions and all. But I only really know how to make universal admins.

I run three TF2 servers from the same installation; I just use separate screens, launch files, and assign different configs using the servercfgfile, motdfile, and mapcyclefile flags in the launch configuration.

That way I only have to update one server when an update is pushed, and I save space on the SSD. I know there are much smarter ways to implement this that gameserver hosts and more professional communities use, but this is what my limited knowledge can do.

The admins_simple.ini file is universally executed, presenting me with a problem: Anyone who is admin on one server, is admin on ALL servers.

I'd like to separate my admins. Admins in one group would run servers A and B, while the second group can admin server C.

What's the best way to go about this?

Use symlinks, when your os is Linux. Then you can manage two different servers with different plugins, admin_simple.ini etc.

Using Sourcebans gives you the option to specify which admin has powers in whatever server you choose.

But still need install SourceMod for each server... right ?

Single installations with diffrent configurations are complex.

mkdir masterserver
./steam -command install -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir masterserver/
mkdir server1 server2
cp -sr ~/masterserver/* ~/server1
cp -sr ~/masterserver/* ~/server2

add plugins and configs to server1 and server2
start them

After a update you can copy added files with:

cp -sr ~/masterserver/* ~/server1 2>/dev/null
cp -sr ~/masterserver/* ~/server2 2>/dev/null

To delete broken links:

find -L ~ -type l -delete

Deadeye, that will work wonders for us. We'll be moving to a single installation this week, freeing up precious space.

Thank-you!

i have a question, do you use like specific maplists.txt for each server? how do you make it so one doesnt play on maps that shouldnt be on there, or is all of your servers run on the same maps?
Im thinking like if you have a (for example) balloon race, sniper, and an trading server, how would that work out?
Same with the plugins, how would you config the plugins to have different flags? etc.

Well, the command he gave you creates symlinks to all the files, so just delete the symlink and create a real maplists.txt on each server instead.

This is what I'd recommend, now that I know how to do it.

If, however, you want separate maplists and mapcycles for multiple instances on a single installation, then specify the following in the *.cfg or launch options:

mapcyclefile mapcycle2.txt
maplistfile maplist2.txt

@Mitchell I use Map-specific configs with prefix support. However the mapcycle cvars don't currently update if you change with a cfg between levels. My quick plugin here solves it nicely.
