I think that you completely missed the main point, every change in UT requires a restart of the server. In HL1, you could change a lot without requiring a restart. Heck, you could update the entire server.cfg and it'll reconfigure the server on map change. Limited Commands? Sure, Valve provides a good base (better ones than I've found in any other game) in HL1 and then add in the ones that each MOD provides (like CS). After that, add the enhanced commands that 3rd party plugins provide. You have a pretty rock solid set of commands that are useful. Another thing that many other games haven't provided in years, that Valve has, was a unique ID assigned to players, that follows them wherever they go. At first it was the WON ID, and now the Steam ID. This allows for a lot more flexibility to addon developers that can capture that ID and provide a good solution for it. PB has had to add this functionality to games. Not only that, resource usage is a great deal more in other game servers, especially those that provide an internal web server just for a web interface. This is something that can be provided by a 3rd party, imo. Regardless of your recent arguments, PB is not a solution. If they can get the job done with the released SDK, great, you can pay them the $1 and use their system. Otherwise, I'm sure that you'll see the Return of the VAC soon. - HoundDawg _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
