<div class="IPBDescription">Tips. Tricks.</div> Hi.

We NS server ops mostly still run HLDS x.1.1.0 on our servers, because of the performance problems x.1.1.1 has.

Recently there's an exploit to crash x.1.1.0 servers so in this thread I'll explain you the steps to install x.1.1.0, the x.1.1.0c beta, and the fix for the exploit.

Remember: <u>3.1.1.0 is the Linux dedicated server, and 4.1.1.0 is the Windows one.</u> So if you're running a Windows server and you read "x.1.1.0" here, it means "<b>4</b>.1.1.0". (<b>3</b>.1.1.0 for you penguins)


<b>Download & Installation of x.1.1.0 server</b>
Download the x.1.1.0 dedicated server files from:
<b>Linux:</b> <a href='http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/halflife/server/linux/hlds_l_3110_full.bin' target='_blank'>here</a>
<b>Windows:</b> <a href='http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/halflife/server/win32/hlserver4110.exe' target='_blank'>here</a>

Run them, install as you would normally.


<b>Download & Installation of x.1.1.0c server patch</b>
Download the x.1.1.0c dedicated server beta files from:

<b>Linux:</b> <a href='http://dev.valve-erc.com/projects/psb/documents/103404836477560000/attached/hlds_l_3110c_beta.tar.gz' target='_blank'>here</a> (Half-Life Linux Primary Server 3.1.1.0.c Beta)
<b>Windows:</b> <a href='http://dev.valve-erc.com/projects/psb/documents/103404835083379600/attached/hlds_4110c_beta.zip' target='_blank'>here</a> (Half-Life Win32 Primary Server 4.1.1.0.c Beta)

Extract them in your HLDS directory.



<b>Download & Installation of the fix for the Exploit</b>

<b>Windows</b>
Download the fix:
<a href='http://www.pivx.com/luigi/patches/hlbof-server-1110-fix.zip' target='_blank'>http://www.pivx.com/luigi/patches/hlbof-se...er-1110-fix.zip</a>
Extract it. Run it. It'll patch.

<b>Linux</b>
1. Download boffix binary <a href='http://miklos.clanhost.dk/boffix_i386.so' target='_blank'>here</a>. (sourcecode <a href='http://miklos.clanhost.dk/boffix.tar.gz' target='_blank'>here</a>)
2. Put Boffix in your HLDS dir.
3. Edit hlds_run:
After the first line ("#!/bin/sh" that is), add another line:
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->export LD_PRELOAD=./boffix_i386.so<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

<b>FreeBSD</b>
1. Do the first two steps of Linux installation above.
2. Edit hlds_run, put
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->export LD_PRELOAD=./boffix_i386.so<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
Just before the lines "$HL $*"
(There are two $HL $* lines, one for the auto-restart one and one for the norestart one, so add the "<i>export LD_PRELOAD</i>" line twice.

    Has this worked for anyone? I get a message saying "Different MD5 checksums" and it wont continue, says 0 bytes wrote...

    *UPDATE*: Ok, actaully the lpatch.exe works (2 bytes written) with the basic hlserver files, but NOT with the update, any ideas?

    Im not sure about this, but whenever I tried one of these patches I get a "Your executable is out of date" error. The server runs in LAN mode only.

    well, maybe it works without the 4.1.1.0c patch?

    These instructions worked beautifully for me. I used it on a linux server.

    The only problem I have is that admin_map in AdminMod now hangs all clients, and doesn't change the map.

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Patch doesn't seem to work with the C version of swds.dll in Windows. Just FYI. I'm running version 1.1.1.0, though, installed off the HL CD <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for putting this concise and helpful information together -- it was proving difficult to find any such well written central document, and most importantly, after the bof exploit had been announced, trying to piece together the best remedy for a 3.1.1.0 server was quite time-consuming with much uncertainty. for instance, the 3.1.1.0c patch was something i had read about somewhere else, but could never find any links to (or documentation on), much less know whether it was recommended or what it did. thank you again!

    -f!

    I ran into some really weird problems. Gorden Freeman models, Aliens and Marine models switched, couldnt see typing, etc.

    I ended up using the 4.1.1.1 and have been running well.

    I think that patch do not fix that security problem:
