I have seen some crazy stuff on this list over the last 15 years or so, but this might just be the craziest. No one is intimidated by a troll who claims to be a lawyer but takes 3 tries to get the words "International Legal Counsel" spelled correctly. I mean, seriously, come on. Although that

I noticed that, too. It looks like hlcoders was dropped when they transitioned to the new listserv platform. I was disappointed by that. On Thu, Jun 7, 2018 at 1:47 PM, Björn Stabel wrote: > It seems the list "hlcod...@list.valvesoftware.com" has disappeared. > > There used to be some amount

Hello, This is usually caused by an attack which simply floods the server with queries (usually A2S_INFO). This happened on one of my servers a few months ago (running on Linux), and the offending IP address was owned by NFO. I contacted them and had a good discussion with a few of the NFO

[hlds] A2S_INFO responses from HLTV servers

2015-07-21 Thread David Parker
Hello, I was investigating a report that CheckValve shows mangled information for HLTV servers, and I discovered that HLTV returns two response packets to an A2S_INFO query. The first response is in the old GoldSrc format (with header byte 0x6d) and the second response in the Source format (with

[hlds] CheckValve 2.0

2015-05-21 Thread David Parker
Hello! I just wanted to mention that I recently released version 2.0 of CheckValve, my HLDS/SRCDS query app for Android. If you use CheckValve, I would love to get some feedback regarding the new version. CheckValve 2.0 includes several bug fixes and code changes, as well as a few new features.

If you absolutely need to leave RCON enabled, then restricting access to it with a firewall rule is probably the best option. In other Valve games there were server cvars to control the number of failed RCON attempts before a client was banned: sv_rcon_banpenalty sv_rcon_maxfailures

Why not? Because you personally don't like it? Is there an etiquette document for this list which says that you shouldn't reply to update threads? They're threads on the mailing list just like any other. He had a valid question about something which apparently broke in the update, and Eric

Re: [hlds] Is A2A_PING officially deprecated?

2011-02-07 Thread David Parker
I e-mailed Alfred about this a few days ago and he said that it's gone for good.  However, only my TF2 and CS:S servers have been affected so far.  A2A_PING still works on my L4D and L4D2 servers (both updated). Alfred recommended using A2S_INFO as a replacement for A2A_PING from now on.     -
