Re: [hlds] Client plugin loading debate
Grow up and stay out of it. Both I and all who replied to my post had something legitimate to add to the conversation. Don't be upset, just grow up and don't reply.

Re: [hlds] Did S2A_INFO2 packet format change?
Anyone figured out what 0x01 in EDF stands for? I just found a GoldSrc server (69.130.74.130:27015) replying with 0x40 0x01 0x46 0x00 (+ 6 * 0x00). If you parse this as short you get 320 and 70. So the first can't be the app ID (always), because 320 is HL2:DM - but 70 is HL. Although it seems most Source servers reply with their app ID (+ 6 * 0x00). Strange. 2010/4/5 HL-SDK Synths syntron...@gmail.com http://svn.limetech.org/web/opensteamworks/Open%20Steamworks/CSteamID.h Probably this: ( ( ( (uint64) m_steamid.m_comp.m_EUniverse ) 56 ) + ((uint64) m_steamid. m_comp.m_EAccountType 52 ) + m_steamid.m_comp.m_unAccountID ); Sorry for rich text. Universe is most likely constant, as is account type. The variable is accountID, and that is available to the server. Usually when I run across a 64-bit steamID I can convert it to this CSteamID and get the info I need. I hope that helps :M On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 5:48 PM, Sebastian Staudt korak...@gmail.com wrote: What's the right format for the SteamID? 64 bit for sure, but how is it encoded?

Hi. I'm the developer of the query library Steam Condenser ( http://koraktor.github.com/steam-condenser) and recently I got a bug report about weird data received from CZ servers. I did some research and found out that all servers (GoldSrc and Source) using the new S2A_INFO2 format (see http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_queries#Source_servers_2 ) and returning additional data (extra data flag, EDF) have not the documented format for the extra data. This seems to have changed recently. Does anyone know what the new format is?

[hlds] Windows Control Panel
I have been using Server Checker for a while now but its becoming very dated since its no longer being developed. It has been randomly turning my servers off at random times. Once off they dont come back up. Does anyone know of a replacement for Server Checker? Something software based that will restart the servers automatically and is similar to server checker. I know of firedaemon but its not made specifically for game servers.

Re: [hlds] Windows Control Panel
Serverdoc used to work pretty good...used to use it quite often. Free version is good enough for most people, though you have to update it once a month, or you can donate a few buck and update (minimum) once a year. The update process is streamlined and will not shut down currently running servers. http://serverdoc.com/ On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 9:59 PM, DontWannaName! ad...@topnotchclan.comwrote: I have been using Server Checker for a while now but its becoming very dated since its no longer being developed.

Re: [hlds] Windows Control Panel
If you're not after a game control panel (why not out of interest?), you may want to check out GameMon - http://mammoth.com.au/resources/ which may be what you're after. It's a watchdog program that simply monitors servers and gives you some nice options. 'GameMon is a simple application for Windows and Linux that allows monitoring of any game server that can be queried with QStat. GameMon supports a variety of operations, such as the restarting of a failed game server and the scheduled restarting of game servers. GameMon can detect failed servers by a number of methods - checking to see if the server is no longer queryable via QStat or checking to see if the process has failed. It is an effective solution to aid increased uptime on game services. GameMon is free, open source software.' Disclaimer: I work for Mammoth Media, the developers of the software.

If you're making your own service, you should be able to check if the DS becomes unresponsive, I don't see why not. I'd probably do something like this, if I were still running servers that is.
