[hlcoders] Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer beta release
We've released a beta update for the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer depot. The updated depots include several security fixes. The name for the beta branch is "beta_test". If you're running a game that depends on the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer tool, please give the beta a try and report any problems. You can email me directly with any problems you find. * Clients can opt-in to the beta using the Betas tab of the Properties dialog for the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer tool (select "beta_test" in the dropdown menu) * Dedicated servers can find information about how to use a beta here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD We're also working on updates for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. We'll have more information about those soon.

This folder doesnt exist because it is named hl2_french/screenshots in my French version. The game doesnt find the English folder and doesn't try to go into the French folder.

RE: [Fwd: [hlcoders] DOD hw/sw.dll redistribution?]
I'm sure everyone already knows this, but once we do our next client update you won't want to include the old hw.dll and sw.dll anymore. You'll need to update your mod installer so it doesn't include those files after we've updated, or your clients will have problems. -Eric -Original Message- From: Eric Smith Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 11:02 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Fwd: [hlcoders] DOD hw/sw.dll redistribution?] It's okay to include the hw.dll/sw.dll files that come with DoD 1.0 (mod) with your mod.

Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2003 20:09:09 -0400 From: Jonah Sherman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DOD 1.0 replaces the engine hw.dll and sw.dll with new ones that support transparent models. This would be a very cool feature for other mods too. Obviously valve is allowed to redistribute their own engine dlls however they want, but can a non-valve mod include the DOD hw/sw.dll's so transparent models can be used? I would really appreciate it if someone from valve would answer this so we know if we can include them or not... -Jonah ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Subject: [hlcoders] anti-cheat ricochet
Sorry...forgot to update the subject
I am an admin for a couple of Ricochet servers which I play frequently.
For
those of you who haven't played it consists of 2 or more players throwing
2
types of discs, one a push disc and the other a decap disc.
There is a bug in the program which allows a player to press the +USE key
(left
over bind from HL) that can block the push discs only.
I would like to come up with a way to prevent players from exploiting this
bug
without actually playing them, calling them on it and kick/banning them. I
know
I can go into the SDK and fix it but was wondering if there might be a way
to
rebind the alias +USE when players enter the server. Since +USE is not
legally used in Ricochet there is no need for it. Is it possible to do
something like bind +USE say I just pressed USE or maybe unbind +USE.
Thanks for the help,
desNotes

[hlcoders] Half-Life Beta Server Release (x.1.0.9.c)
We have another new beta version of the Half-Life Server for you guys to start using.

Removed '.' at the end of the line. HLTV - Fixed rcon bug. - Fixed delay being reset to default value during changelevel. - Fixed a problem with propagating HLTV banners. hlds_run script === - Linux: now does auto-restart by default, to disable it you need to define -norestart on the command line. - Linux: uses exec when you define the -norestart option. HLDS - Linux: Fixed another server freeze when using -pingboost 1.

RE: [hlcoders] 1109 to contain any code we should know about?
You're correct. The AuthID is a way for applications/mods to get the Authentication ID (uniqueID) for a player. The AuthID can be a WonID or a SteamID. The function I've written returns the AuthID as a string. Not all mods will need to support this right away because not all mods will have Steam players. For example: FireArms, Front Line Force, and The Opera aren't on Steam yet so they won't have Steam players and don't need to worry about supporting SteamIDs. This means that nothing changes for them. The function: unsigned int (*pfnGetPlayerWONId)( edict_t *e ); will still work for Non-Steam players just like it always has. If applications/mods want to get a jump start on getting ready to support Steam players, then they can start using: const char *(*pfnGetPlayerAuthId)( edict_t *e ); which will still work for Non-Steam players, but it will give the WonID as a string instead of an unsigned int. -Eric -Original Message- From: botman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] 1109 to contain any code we should know about?

I thought that people who paid for monthly Steam access would only have a SteamID (and not a WONid). It seems to me that if a MOD does something special with the WONid (like storing persistant data on the server or using it to authenticate a server operator), the MOD would need to be modified to allow for a WONid (numeric) or SteamID (a string). I thought the purpose of the AuthID (a string) was to provide a single function to return the unique identifier for a player (WONid or SteamID depending on what was used for authorization).

I'm not sure what you mean by looking to shaft yourself bigtime. If you mean that you won't be able to use the small update (1.1.0.8 - 1.1.0.9), then yes it won't work because you're not at version 1.1.0.8 anymore. The only way you'll be able to update your installation when the official version is released is to run the *official* full 1.1.0.9 installer.
