Re: [hlds] Server Crashes Since Yesterday's Update
Thank you so much ics Its odd that this started right after the update. I wonder if the entity count was set even lower than before? Whats even more odd is that their. was only 19 players in my server the last time it crashed. :-( Thanks again, hopefully Valve is reading this and someday takes a look at it.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin
http://etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-21038/page-24/?recent=406717#post-406387 This is absolutely brilliant, great job! Now just imagine having something like Greenlight to go through those... I'm not even going to bother asking you to open source it but please, at least consider releasing a stable version with that doesn't open connection (no auto-update or reports to you or anywhere else, no offense) and has no undocumented features (now or later). I'd really like to use this, we should have had this long ago.

It’s just a tool to help you find people that can potentially cheat and you can just check the STV demos then to confirm that they cheat or not. The most detections for a single person in the less timespan you will find in the log, the more likely he is using a triggerbot. Prediction hacks: I guess this is what will interest most people on this list, it detects the crit hacks that does 100% crits all the time which is an engine exploit which has been added into many hacks lately. It's also used for various no spread/low spread hacks. The detections get printed to a log called TriggerBotDetections.log in tf/ (and are also sent to me) on EVERY MAP change or when all players have disconnected from the server. It’s important to note this otherwise you could loose all the detections (especially if your server automatically restarts every night). There is a simple reason for this: writing in a file while you play can cause lags, especially if someone is getting detected a lot.

Re: [hlds] Server Crashes Since Yesterday's Update
Yep - this is definitely related to the performance increase update, as a ton of our custom payload maps that were completely stable prior to the update are now crashing.
