One last thing.
You *should* see either this line:
Game server authentication: SUCCESS! Standing: %s. Trend: %s
or this line:
Game server authentication: FAILURE!
Pretty soon upon boot. If you don't that means your server is not even
attempting to sign on, and there's probably something wrong with the convars.
If you see the SUCCESS! message, but are still not getting Halloween drops,
please post that fact on this list.
Your humble servant,

Subject: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convar
settings
If your server is not getting Halloween drops, check if your config file has an
'=' in the lines to set the registration convars.
Also, make sure you put the identity token in quotes.
If you have these two problems, you probably (quite reasonably) cut and paste
the two config file lines from the client console when you registered your
server. That output erroneously had the ='s in them, and did not quote the
identity token. We fixed the output soon after we shipped the registered
server feature, which explains why a lot of people not getting the drops are
also saying that they have been registered for a long time.
In case that does not fix the problem, the next update will provide more
verbose logging so such errors will not go undetected for so long.
Your humble servant,
Fletch
