This will help ensure that the new players will have a place to try the game where they won't get their face eaten off. 3) Please make sure the new Santa's Evil Lair map is in your map rotation, as this is the map EVERYONE will be dieing to try.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2/Day of Defeat: Source Update Released
It sounds like Valve changed engine headers without a public beta, without describing the changes, and without an SDK change. We're working on a fix. In the meantime, you will have to disable SourceMod. Metamod will work fine. http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=899001postcount=8 *sigh* On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 10:40 PM, Shane Arnold clontar...@iinet.net.auwrote: What he said.

Matt Stanton wrote: Still the significance of the 'Friday Update' is misplaced, here, as for the part of the world that has advanced into Friday before the United States, Valve works and releases updates on Saturdays. If they release a broken update on Friday in the United States, then we are broken all weekend. If they release a broken update on Friday slightly west of the international date line, then you can hope for an early Saturday update fix. Regardless, the update isn't really broken, they just released it without warning anyone that it was going to break SourceMod. While it would likely be in their best interests to allow the SM dev team to know about what is going to be changed, it is not an obligation, and there is no reason for Valve to have to keep up with what may or may not break SourceMod in one of the updates. So, when SM is working again, I think this update will be fantastic, and props to the SM team for getting rolling on this so quickly. I look forward to biting the bullet and and finally updating SM on our servers to the 1.3-dev branch. Clyde cide wrote: oh gawd Ive got to do this..

Re: [hlds] Deleted the L4D Survival Pack cvar email
I'm a developer at Valve who is working on the Left 4 Dead Survival pack update. We've made several changes to server operation that we'd like to give our server operators a heads up on. Since Left 4 Dead will now support three different game modes, we removed the console variable director_no_human_zombies and added a new variable called mp_gamemode which can be set to coop, versus and survival. This variable is set by lobby reservation, so a normal server running in lobby mode will require no changes by the server operator. If you are running in LAN mode without lobbies, you will need to set mp_gamemode before you load a map. For example, use mp_gamemode survival; map l4d_sv_lighthouse to load the new Lighthouse map in Survival mode. We have extended sv_gamestypes to also include survival. The default value is now coop,versus,survival. This may cause issues for some servers that have a lot of tags in addition to the defaults. We realize this is problem and adjusted sv_showtags to show the truncated tags to help server operators see if they have reached the 63 character limit. The tags issue will be fixed in the forthcoming third party campaign matchmaking update. We have extended the master servers so heartbeats will be sent as two distinct packets, one containing the existing server heartbeat, and another containing additional game data. This game data will contain all the matchmaking server tags such as sv_gametypes, and the list of third party campaign missions installed. This third party campaign list will be used by people searching for servers with third party campaigns installed. Server operators will install the VPK file of the campaign that includes the maps (and associated models, etc) as well as a mission description file that describes the campaign and its name used for matchmaking. We hope that as various third party campaigns become popular, more server operators will install them giving a larger base for players to find servers for those campaigns.

Re: [hlds] Achievement Farmer Honeypot
If Valve wanted to stop achievement farming servers, they would have set up a server blacklist a long, long time ago. Besides, there are people who just don't have the time (some people actually have a life and work!) to spend killing millions of people to unlock an achievement. By the time that they do, the game will most likely be replaced with the next installment. Also, unlocks are a crock of crap to new players as they will get pissed off and leave by older, younger players having more powerful guns while they have shit guns.

Re: [hlds] L4D: Cross-Platform Multiplayer
Halo 2 and Gears does not have cross platform support and you don't have to have gold to play on Games for Windows Live. but PC players always get kicked from servers for hacking Really now.

Re: [hlds] Server Banner in other games?
Thanks guys. I was thinking that it was just an image. Seems kinda strange to load it as html when your basically only going to load an image though it could be used to do random images so that's a plus.
