[hlds] Server browser player count bug related to bots

2011-12-09 Thread Fletcher Dunn
Hello all,

There's a bug in the server browser right now where adding or removing bots 
causes the total player count to change.

We're investigating this problem and will let you know when to expect a fix.

Right now we believe this bug only affects TF2 servers.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Master server issue ?

2011-12-09 Thread Fletcher Dunn
I believe we have addressed the DOS issues.  Spot-checking several different 
games in the Steam server browser, they all appear to be working properly.

I'm working with John to resolve the Killing Floor problems.  I currently 
believe that the Killing Floor problem is not related to the DOS problem.  
However, if there are other games that are not working, it would be helpful to 
know what they are; perhaps there is a pattern.

Fletch,


I use the Master Server Query protocol (
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Master_Server_Query_Protocol) to
check if my windows server is in need of update by sending in a heartbeat,
but ever since the last update all i can get as a response is
@rr~TThis app must heartbeat through the CM..

Did you guys permanently altered the behaviour of the query? Does this have
anything to do with the servers not appearing!?


Thanks in advance,

[hlds] Mod Release - Killing Floor Gun Game v. 0.50 Alpha First Public Release

2011-12-09 Thread John Gibson
Killing Floor Gun Game Mod version 0.50 Alpha is now available for
download.

I'm looking for server admins that would like to volunteer to put up some
servers for this hot new mod for Killing Floor that everyone is talking
about (and that has been keeping our testing servers full constantly) ;)

Anyone that has played Gun Game in other games knows the basic premise,
although with the range of weaponry in Killing Floor it plays out quite
differently than in other games (rocket launcher, flamethrowers, fireball
launchers, etc etc). So what is Killing Floor Gun Game? Put very simply Gun
Game is a game mode for up to 32 players where the player starts out with a
weak weapon, and for every kill gets instantly upgraded to a better weapon.
The goal is to be the first player to get to the final weapon and get a
kill. There are two teams, but the focus is solely on killing as fast as
you can. Gun Game is a fast paced action packed game type. While it uses
the weapons and characters from KF, it is not meant to be done in a
somewhat different style. There is a crosshair, players move faster, its
funny, silly, and crazy.

This mod is something that myself, a community mapper, and another dev have
been working on in our spare time. It is not officially developed or
supported by Tripwire. If it really takes off in the community, who knows
what we may do with it But for now it's just an unofficial thing we've been
doing for fun.

For more info on the mod, and installation files please visit this thread
on the Tripwire forums:
