Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux]Engine update breaking mod Natural-Selection
There's still the possibility to fix it yourself in the NS source code, if you know where the bug is. https://github.com/unknownworlds/NS 2014-02-26 14:32 GMT+01:00 Korrey Moore ajac...@gmail.com: I've been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to solve a problem on my HLDS server where the mod Natural Selection 3.2 refuses to load. It all started when the Steampipe update to Half-Life was released, which caused the game to start exhibiting glitches related to player movement and some game logic failing to work properly. But then there was one update that was a game breaker, HLDS would no longer load the Natural Selection mod without outputting garbage to the console and crashing. All of the official Valve mods worked fine so I know that it was something that Valve changed in the engine that caused it to break. This is what happens when I try and launch the server: ./hlds_run -game ns Auto-restarting the server on crash Console initialized. Using breakpad crash handler Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 70 Forcing breakpad minidump interfaces to load Looking up breakpad interfaces from steamclient Calling BreakpadMiniDumpSystemInit Protocol version 48 Exe version 1.1.2.2/Stdio (valve) Exe build: 09:01:31 Aug 8 2013 (6132) STEAM Auth Server Server logging data to file logs/L0226001.log L 02/26/2014 - 07:11:43: Log file started (file logs/L0226001.log) (game ns) (version 48/1.1.2.2/Stdio/6132) L 02/26/2014 - 07:11:43: Server cvar sv_maxrate = 8192 Server IP address LoadLibrary failed on � ��p��S �F� �� H ��'�: � ��p��S �F� �� H ��'�: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from � ��p��S �F� �� H ��'�!

FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from � ��p��S �F� �� H ��'�! The weird garbage output is exactly what it looks like in the console, and the garbage output changes every time the server is relaunched. In my search for solutions, I tried several different Linux distros to see if the results were predictable, and they were. Every Linux distro I tried all resulted in the same crashing with garbage console output, except one: Arch Linux i686. Arch actually gave a legible error to give some indication of what was wrong: HOST_ERROR: Couldn't get GiveFnptrsToDll() Which according to one of my programming buddies means that some function in the HL engine that NS is expecting is missing. I recently found an old backup of my NS server running HL dedicated server version 70 (instead of 90) and I loaded it up to see if it still worked (which it did) and the HL engine build according to the console is: Protocol version 48 Exe version 1.1.2.1/Stdio (valve) Exe build: 11:30:00 Aug 28 2012 (5787) So somewhere between engine build 5787 and 6132, Valve changed something that caused Natural Selection to stop working. I would love it if someone from Valve could rectify this problem because running an outdated server is not an option due to the fact that clients can't connect to it properly and the console spam of OUTDATED SERVER, PLEASE UPDATE. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] [hlds_announce] Mandatory TF2 update released
No. Yes, you can change its value, but the filechecking is not done correctly (or not done at all?) since the SteamPipe update. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/887 2014-02-08 18:00 GMT+01:00 Rudy Bleeker rblee...@gmail.com: sv_pure works fine if you start your server with +sv_pure 1 on the command line. From there you can switch to sv_pure 0 or sv_pure 2 at any time. However if you don't start with +sv_pure 1 on the command line you're stuck with a server running sv_pure 0. So correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this just a simple case of changing the default?

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin
For the few still using it on this mailing list, just letting you know I released the update. Changelog: - Fixed crash when trying to reload the plugin after it has been auto updated - Added a banlist system. Cheaters using prediction hacks and anti-speedhack bypass hacks will be automatically banned if aac_prediction_ban and aac_speedhackbypass_ban are set to 1 (default). aac_banmethod 0 uses the local banlist, aac_banmethod 1 uses SourceBans. For the local banlist, the banned cheaters can be seen with aac_showbans, or by opening the aac_banned.txt file in the tf directory. You can also remove a ban with the aac_removeban command. - Improved autoshoot detections, they should now be more precise - Added invalid viewangles detections (still experimental, will only log for now) - Added aac_logname to change the logfile’s name, useful when running multiple servers from a same directory. 2013/7/24 AnAkIn anakin...@gmail.com I guess it's just a matter of calling the sm_ban command?

Would help sharing the lists between multiple servers. -ics AnAkIn kirjoitti: Viewangles detections are common in a lot of anti-cheats. And no, some of my detections are done differently than SMAC ones.

Re: [hlds] tf2 beta dedicated server: corrupted double-linked list: 0x1377c7a0
You are getting the same crash I reported here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/232 2013/3/21 Kevin Adler adler_...@yahoo.com So I decided to play around with the SteamPipe beta tonight to be ready for the eventual update. Installing the game went smoothly and I eventually figured out the autoupdate stuff, which isn't documented. Anyway, the problem I'm having is that the server keeps getting an error on startup. I'm not sure what the problem is and all the hits on google are pretty old and seem to deal with mods, but this is a vanilla server. Note that I have a normal TF2 server and L4D2 server already running, thus the port messages. Also, initially I was running as mvm mode, but I saw some forum post about issues with bots could be causing the problem so I switched to 2fort, which didn't help. I also removed the server.cfg to see if something in there could be causing the problem, but again that didn't help. Any clues? Once it gets to the corrupted linked list issue, it just sits there. I eventually kill it with ctrl-c. zeke@adama:/opt/tf2 ./srcds_run -game tf +map ctf_2fort -autoupdate -steam_dir /opt/steamcmd -steamcmd_script $PWD/update.txt Auto detecting CPU Using default binary: ./srcds_linux Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.

Do I personally use it, no. I populate my servers with events using community groups. -Did i steal money? No. I have gotten sparks of interest from a few people but none have gave me money. So it's sad to even bring scam into this topic. (chat log in last post confirms this) -Is this program out into the open? No, it is not. I intend to keep it this way. I am not aware of any rule that says i can't make something if i want to. The only trouble i would be in is IF i had used this to populate servers. If Valve requests to see the source code, i will give it to them to better their security system. It's original intent was to allow players to level up strange weapons. Not saying it didn't have any other uses. -Those who sparked interest are PBFortress and GameLiberty. PB wanted to use it to farm stranges. GameLiberty wanted it to use it for the same reason but i had a feeling he would try to use it to populate servers. It didn't feel right to me so i backed out of the deal. Then all of a sudden my servers went down. Dedicated server hacked. Server files deleted. He/she failed since i had the servers back up in about 2 days. Then he/she goes to my groups and makes accusations. That failed. Seriously, how do people have time to do this? hahah -Have any of these guys paid me money? Nope *chat log in previous post can confirm* -I assure you that each of the plugins i use on my servers are ones that do not violate any valve rules. If you are suspicious, please feel free to go to any of my servers. -I know the consequences of using fake clients to fill servers. I would never use it for that intention.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF beta updated released
Yes it does change. sv_pure 2 was aimed at competitive players. The whitelist was supposed to be forced, so the away team (as alfred calls it) don't have to check if the sv_pure whitelist is correct when joining the server of their opponent. The players could be sure that the server is ready for the match by just checking if sv_pure is set to 2. 2013/3/2 Rudy Bleeker rblee...@gmail.com On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 6:58 PM, AnAkIn anakin...@gmail.com wrote: The problem is that the server admin can still modify that base whitelist?

This detection requires the server to be connected to a Steam account, otherwise it isn’t able to query the player name. You can create an empty Steam account and set the aac_accountname and aac_password cvars to the account information. You can check if the account has correctly connected to Steam with the aac_accountstatus command. DO NOT use the same account for more than one server. You can’t connect in a Steam account from more than one place! Note: the name hack detection SHOULD work without any issues, it has been tested on some servers and I think I fixed any issues it might have so far. I can’t say there won’t be any bug with it for now, as I’ve had some problems with the way Steam sends the name for some people and had to make a workaround, which is not perfect, but it can work.

[hlds] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin
Hi, As Valve is too lazy to do anything about hacks, I started working back in January on a plugin that can detect: - POTENTIAL triggerbotters - Prediction hacks (crit hacks/no spread hacks) - An anti-speedhack bypass exploit Triggerbots: To make it clear as some people I gave it to didn’t understand, the detection is kind of “heuristic” (I won’t explain in detail, if I do then the cheat coders will bypass it in no time), so it’s not because someone got detected that he is surely cheating. It’s just a tool to help you find people that can potentially cheat and you can just check the STV demos then to confirm that they cheat or not. The most detections for a single person in the less timespan you will find in the log, the more likely he is using a triggerbot. Prediction hacks: I guess this is what will interest most people on this list, it detects the crit hacks that does 100% crits all the time which is an engine exploit which has been added into many hacks lately. It's also used for various no spread/low spread hacks. The detections get printed to a log called TriggerBotDetections.log in tf/ (and are also sent to me) on EVERY MAP change or when all players have disconnected from the server. It’s important to note this otherwise you could loose all the detections (especially if your server automatically restarts every night). There is a simple reason for this: writing in a file while you play can cause lags, especially if someone is getting detected a lot.

Re: [hlds] Crit hacking + VAC?
VAC needs to be reworked for all games, not just TF2.

Re: [hlds] Crit hacking + VAC?
Some public cheats are not even detected. 2012/3/26 ics i...@ics-base.net: Code is streamed, so those cheat builders can get a fragment of the VAC code but not all of it. Problem is that once their cheat is detected by VAC and they know it, all they need to do is alter some bits of it to make it undetectable again, untill the new signature of the cheat is added to VAC database again. Delayed system like VAC doesn't work in Free 2 Play case very well and the saying have active admins is so 2011. It doesn't fix the problem. Right now the delay between cheater detected on our servers and getting banned is 1,5-2 weeks since the guy got caught - if a VAC ban is issued at all. Seems that the most newest accounts created are using some sort of publicly available cheat so and are banned within 2 weeks so why not tighten that time. I think everyone knows that VAC can detect the most public cheats out there. Well almost, except the idiots that use them. Still, they can cause havoc so many hours on so many servers at that time before getting banned. Just for laughs. -ics 26.3.2012 12:55, Emil Larsson kirjoitti: Thing is that Valve does not exactly announce when they rework or improve VAC, to add to it's mysterious nature.

Re: [hlds] New feature in TF2 Beta dedicated server update
TF2 is free. You can just create a new account if you got blocked. 2012/3/16 Rich Kaethler r...@valvesoftware.com: I think there is some confusion about how this works. First off, there is no “kicking power”. The check is only made on initial connection to the server. Once on the server it does not give anyone power to kick anyone else. If while on the server, you discover people you never wish to play with again: you block them, then you are free to leave the server right then or endure them until you leave and find another server that does not contain people you have blocked. If the server sets sv_steamblockingcheck = 2 then only members of the clan that “owns” the server may prevent people from playing on that server. Yes this is currently limited to checking the block lists of clan members who are on that server, we will look at improving that in the future. Clearly it is best to use this feature with a non-public group, using it with a public group would be silly. This can be improved by ignoring a blocking relationship between two members of the group. If the server sets sv_steamblockingcheck = 4 then that stops a new player from joining a server if one of the people already on that server is blocked by the new player. The players already on that server will be totally unaffected. This is to prevent a new player from ever being matchmade onto a server with people they have blocked – in case of a race condition in the matchmaking. Lastly, this is primarily intended to be used on servers that have minimal administration / running no admin mods. Servers that are heavily administered already may not need to use this system at all. The sv_steamblockingcheck = 1 functionality is provided so that it can be used in conjunction with existing mods for servers that want to allow the general population to coexist with the servers preferred clients. If your server has some list of preferred clients, you can make them immune from blocking and still allow the general population to block each other – and allow your preferred clients to block who they like. Please feel free to continue sending constructive feedback.

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise
The 'is player visible' checks are expensive, yes, but Valve can probably optimize that and make it work better than it does with the current plugins. They already use some multi threading code at some places in the SRCDS code, it could be used for the anti wallhack code as well. It it really causes some performance issues it could be a CVar so people can decide if they want to enable it or not. 2012/3/4 ics i...@ics-base.net: Game actually draws the corner what player sees and also the area behind it (this prevents those sudden popups of players) , unless there is areaportal or hint/skip brush set to cut corner. TF2 on the other hand somehow does this differently. For example in harvest, if you snipe at the next house roof of your spawn and take a look fast enough over the top to the other side, sometimes some players draw out late. This could be due to the dynamic model loading system. Especially the sniper camping on the roof at the small barn at left sometimes is the late to appear. You also might see scout coming around corner but too late as there was hickup in packets or something and it teleports forward from the way it came from. -ics 4.3.2012 18:31, Drogen Viech kirjoitti: The problem is that all the 'is player visible' checks are really expensive - what if an arm is sticking out somewhere behind cover?

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise
It wouldn't change the fact that VAC sucks and it can take them like 6 months to add them one of the most known public cheats. 2012/3/2 Alexander Z spacebur...@gmail.com: Yep. IP bans don't do shit in most cases either because they have dynamic IPs. IMO the VAC system should be adjusted to TF2 so that it dispenses bans instantly upon detecting cheating, not after a few months.

Re: [hlds] Dealing with persistent cheaters
Releasing DBlocker source code would be pretty stupid since it would let all cheat coders know how their cheats are being detected and they'd quickly get around it. 2012/1/30 Emil Larsson ail...@gmail.com You should find out pretty fast if they conflict with each other if you try (though it does increase the total cpu usage obviously), although personally I think it's reduant. We're using SMAC as that's actively developed (being a fork of KAC as far I understand and all?). KAC itself hadn't been updated in awhile and the KAC forums seems very stagnated but who knows what pops up in the future. I personally find myself a little suspicious of dblock though due to the lack of source code available.

This is pure speculation, but the server losing connection to the Steam network (or the IP range being blocked by Valve on purpose due to excessive illegal activity) might be the cause for this as well. __**_ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/**mailman/listinfo/hldshttp://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- Best regards, AnAkIn ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Servers are absent in Server Browser
We don't support Non Steam servers on this list. 2011/9/29 Dmitriy Bobrovskiy supp...@isotonic.ru Hi everyone! We have a few HLDS servers running on Windows. They have correct set of Steam master servers. They are identical (of course they use different ports and mapcycles). But only about half of them is seen in Steam Server Browser. I would like to solve that problem. Any help will be much appreciated. Here the servers list: HL TDM 1: hl.aimaster.ru:27014 absent HL TDM 2: hl.aimaster.ru:27016 absent HL TDM 4: hl.aimaster.ru:27027 present HL DM 1 : hl.aimaster.ru:27010 absent HL DM 2 : hl.aimaster.ru:27012 absent HL DM 3 : hl.aimaster.ru:27017 present Best Wishes!
