Install and run cs:go gameserver on ubuntu server

Preliminary operations

Before installing SteamCMD, make sure that lib32gcc1 package is  on the server.

To install this package, type:

$ sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1

Downloading and installing SteamCMD

Now everything is ready to install SteamCMD.   However, it is not recommended to do so as a root user since if a problem arises, it could interfere with the entire system. 

To proceed, just create a new dedicated user. 

To do so, type:

$ sudo useradd -m steam

Then switch to the new user by typing: 

$ su - steam

To have an installation path, create a new directory by writing:

$ mkdir ~/Steam && cd ~/Steam

 As a result, all the files will be installed in the new directory ~/Steam

Now download the latest version of SteamCMD from the Valve server:

$ wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

The file you have  just downloaded is a package .tar that you will need to unpack before running.

To unzip the file write:

$ tar xf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

You can now run SteamCMD by typing:

./steamcmd.sh

If  everything was done correctly,   the steam prompt will be displayed The steam prompt can be recognized thanks to the word:

Steam>

that will always be there  no matter what you type .

Downloading the server

Once entered the Steam prompt,  log in. 

The user ID and password  required here are the same as your steam account.

To do so, write:

$ login <UserID> <password>

where you  are required to replace the UserID and password with those of your steam account.

To  dedicate a folder for the installation of the CS: GO server, write:

$ force_install_dir ./cs_go/

 After doing so, you can finally download and install the CS: GO server by writing:

$ app_update 740 validate

This command contains the number 740,  an appID for the dedicated Counter-Strike server: Global Offensive.

The process may take a few minutes. 

Once the process is completed, create a game server account.

To do so,  enter the following address: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers

Two fields are present below: 

In the first field  enter the appID, which in this case is 730.

The second field is for inserting a note that is only visible to you.

Click Create to generate a key for starting the server.

Once all the steps are done, it’s time to start the dedicated Server.

Network configurations

Your server should allow incoming connections both TCP and UDP on port 27015 and allow outgoing traffic on port 27060 (both TCP and UDP)


Config changes

Open the following files (create them if they don't exist):

~/Steam/cs_go/csgo/cfg/server.cfg
~/Steam/cs_go/csgo/cfg/autoexec.cfg

and add the following lines:
sv_setsteamaccount <login_token>
sv_setsteamaccount <login_token>
Yes, two times

Starting the server

To start up the server there is a specific command for each desired game mode.

First, l enter in the directory cs_go, then type the command corresponding to the mode chosen. 

Remember to add the key you received from the Steam game server management after + sv_setsteamaccount.

$ cd cs_go

CLASSIC CASUAL

$ ./srcds_run -game csgo -console -usercon -net_port_try 1 + game_type 0 + game_mode 0 + mapgroup mg_active + map de_dust2 + sv_setsteamaccount THISGSLTHERE

CLASSIC COMPETITIVE

$ ./srcds_run -game csgo -console -usercon -net_port_try 1 + game_type 0 + game_mode 1 + mapgroup mg_active + map de_dust2 + sv_setsteamaccount THISGSLTHERE

DEATHMATCH

$ ./srcds_run -game csgo -console -usercon -net_port_try 1 + game_type 1 + game_mode 2 + mapgroup mg_allclassic + map de_dust + sv_setsteamaccount THISGSLTHERE

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From:  https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like  ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked  sys.path  when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us  Importing files from different folder  (1822 votes),  Relative imports in Python 3  (1064 votes) and  Relative imports for the billionth time  (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though the  documentation  is really good, it d

On working remote

The last company I worked for, did have an office space, but the code was all on Github, infra on AWS, we tracked issues over Asana and more or less each person had at least one project they could call "their own" (I had a bunch of them ;-)). This worked pretty well. And it gave me a feeling that working remote would not be very different from this. So when we started working on our own startup, we started with working from our homes. It looked great at first. I could now spend more time with Mom and could work at leisure. However, it is not as good as it looks like. At times it just feels you are busy without business, that you had been working, yet didn't achieve much. If you are evaluating working from home and are not sure of how to start, or you already do (then please review and add your views in comments) and feel like you were better off in the office, do read on. Remote work is great. But a physical office is better. So if you can, find yourself a co-working s

Todo lists are overrated

My tasks come from a variety of sources: 1) Tasks from emails  2) Meeting notes with details of people who participated  3) Project related tasks that can have a long format and can be tagged/ delegated  4) Scratchpad for unrefined ideas  5) Detailed documentation for completed technical tasks / ideas  6) FIFO list of high priority small daily tasks No one app has been able to map all the requirements above, and I have tried a lot of them! In my lifetime I’ve tried a dozen todo apps. In the beginning they all seem different, novel and special. Slick UI, shortcuts, tags, subtasks, the list goes on and on. But all our stories were the same: I start using the new app, then after awhile I stop using it. Up until the last week I thought the problem was in myself (you probably think so too). After all, David Allen seems to have figured this shit out. Also there are people leaving long 5 star reviews on every major todo list app, they discuss them on forums, recommend them to friends. But the
