Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released

2009-11-21 Thread Craig McLure
Hi,

Was trying to restart my L4D2 server and it started downloading the l4d2
demo content.. Checked the srcds_run script and saw:

if test $GAME = left4dead2; then
DEPOT_NAME=left4dead2_demo;
fi

I changed that back to left2dead2 and it seems to all be working again, is
this intentional?

Thanks

 25 minutes since in about 20 minutes. Extremely impressive for Valve.

  So just having rcon locker and a nice password fixes it.

  The big question is: how is it done? Let's hope there is backdoor in
 the
  fake player app and not a bug in the server code.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Update Available

2009-10-30 Thread Craig McLure
Hi,

Was there a specific reason why sv_cheats now cannot be changed for lobby
based games on dedicated and local servers after this patch? Was hoping to
spend some more time playing about with settings :(

Thanks.

2009/10/31 Jason Ruymen jas...@valvesoftware.com

 A required update is now available to the Left 4 Dead 2 Demo.  Please run
 hldsupdatetool to receive it.  The specific changes include:

 Left 4 Dead 2:
 - Fixed bug that caused dedicated servers to become unjoinable over time
 without a restart or heartbeat update
 - Fixed exploit that allowed players to end a campaign and return to the
 lobby without a vote
 - Public players are no longer matched to lobbies that are idle for a
 prolonged period of time. These lobbies become Friends-only lobbies
 - LAN servers list will now show listen server single player games as not
 joinable and will show game type as single player too

 Linux changes:
 - srcds_run now supports two new options -nodefaultmap and -steamverify
-nodefaultmap will suppress this behavior in case you have specified
 a map in a config file
-steamverify will add -verify_all to the steam command line option
 when using -autoupdate
 - srcds_run will now automatically add the +map option to the command line
 unless +map is specified

Re: [hlds] Steam servers overloaded?

2009-10-28 Thread Craig McLure
Probably related to this update, my servers updated in less than 30seconds,
they are gonna need as many dedis as possible when releasing, else this demo
will fail in a sea of local servers!

2009/10/28 Mark Goldie markgol...@gmail.com

 the client release has just been pushed back another hour

 2009/10/28 Jonah Hirsch crazydog...@gmail.com

  Christoffer: Make sure you're specifying your ip in the command line:
  just add, for example, -ip ###.###.###.### to your command line (with
 your
  IP address there, of course).

  There are currently new updates available out there. I am trying
 to
update
  my servers right now, and I am experiencing a very slow download
   speed.
 Are
  somebody else also experiencing this?
