TBH I don't get why valve can't come up with an GUI version of RCON....why use Mani if theres something with Valves name on it....also it wouldnt break every damn update. Still that would be common sense wouldnt it. Stuck perpetually playing catchup seems silly when the goalposts keep moving.

Unless Valve puts a proper system in place where there is published procedures, where a beta is done for all updates, one beta just because it helps Valve's nerves, means absolutely nothing to me. I will be testing my servers on this beta when I get the chance, but I don't have to. As long as the plugin developers test then great. If it's not practical to run a beta on every update, it's not practical to run Steam, a system where thousands of servers are updated overnight, without a proper beta test. Also, the person you are replying to, is merely stating fact. He didn't reply back "OMFG Valve, you nooblets, you've broken Mani!", he's just reporting back that Mani is broke, so the rest of us can investigate. This is the problem. Unless Valve have a procedure that guarantees to the plugin developers that certain code is going to go live, then why would the plugin developers patch against it, unless they know for certain, that it's the exact code that's going to go live? Alfred keeps maintaining that it's not practical for Valve to do betas for every update. It's only not practical, because they haven't bothered to design a system that makes it practical. Cheers.

Gawd, some of you talk like you never had to go through this before /sigh At least this time you are getting a shot at it with a beta, rather than waking up one day and finding your servers completely trashed by a SRCDS you didn't even know was coming sheesh On 5/17/07, Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would still Like to hear it from valve. > Are they going to allow Custom Commands? > > > Ray > > > > > At 06:26 AM 5/17/2007, you wrote: > >It appears so Ray. > > > >Mani is now completely useless :( > > > >>From: Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>Reply-To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > >>To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > >>Subject: [hlds] Blocking Client Commands > >>Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 06:05:01 -0400 > >> > >>the new beta looks to be blocking all client commands now.. > >>Why are commands like votemaps etc (NON VALVE) commands getting blocked > >>now?? > >> > >>is this intended Alfred? > >> > >>Ray > >> > >> > >>_______________________________________________ > >>To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > >>please visit: > >>http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > > > >_________________________________________________________________ > >Play your part in making history - Email Britain! > >http://www.emailbritain.co.uk/ > > > > > >_______________________________________________ > >To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list > >archives, please visit: > >http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > > > > > > > >-- > >No virus found in this incoming message. > >Checked by AVG Free Edition.
