Re: [hlds] DoD:S SteamPipe conversion happening Friday morning

2013-03-27 Thread Fletcher Dunn 
The dedicated server currently available as app 232290 is pretty much the exact 
same server that will be used to host the clients when they are converted.  We 
will flip a flag that makes the steampipe beta the official version of the 
game; this change only affects clients.  It's possible (though not certain) 
that we won't even need to release a server update.  If your server is 
currently able to host clients running the steampipe beta, it will be able to 
host clients after they are converted.

Before the conversion, a client will only see HLDSUpdateTool servers in his 
server browser.  After the conversion, he will only see SteamPipe servers.   
(To be more precise: clients only see servers with a matching PatchVersion in 
steam.inf in the Internet tab of the in-game server browser.)

Subject: [hlds] DoD:S SteamPipe conversion happening Friday morning

Hello!

We're planning on switching Day of Defeat: Source to be delivered through 
SteamPipe on Friday Morning.

This update will cause all clients to be converted to the new VPK filesystem.

Servers downloaded with the HLDSUpdateTool will no longer be compatible.  Only 
the server obtained using SteamCMD will work.  The server is currently 
available for download; we encourage all server operators to download and 
install the server now if you haven't already.  The server is currently 
interoperable with the steampipe Beta of Day of Defeat:Source, which is also 
currently available.

Details about the conversion and instructions for downloading the server and 
client beta are available here:

[hlds] Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Half-Life beta server update

2013-03-27 Thread Alfred Reynolds 
We have released a beta update for these 3 games, the changes include:
-Improved firing behavior in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike:Condition Zero and 
Half-Life Deathmatch, it is no longer dependant on client or server frame rate. 
This change needs both your client and server updates to see the improvements. 
-Added logging of developer messages when using -condebug 
-Strip trailing and leading whitespace on player names, and strip all styles of 
whitespace now unicode is supported 
-Don't keep playing the door open sound if it is blocked 
-Force cl_bobcycle to be a minimum of 0.1 to prevent game exploits 

You can get a dedicated install for it by using the following command line:
steamcmd +logon anonymous +force_install_dir ..\hlds +app_update 90 -beta 
beta +quit

Note you will need to use +app_set_config 90 mod czero before the +app_update 
command if you want to update condition zero.

We're working on a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. We should have it 
ready soon. This is NOT the SteamPipe update.
