I will. I've send an email asking VALVe to look into the proposal of setting up
a private content server were admins can pay a monthly fee for access (non
profit). The bandwidth here is pretty cheap, and for a private resource I think
we could get the price to be extremely low per IP.
Just hoping that VALVe will see this as a solution and help us out, they don't
seem to want to provide a fix themselves.

use extreme amounts. Our two in Australia (that aren't filtered

Gameplay Changes: - Pyro changes: - Flamethrower direct damage reduced 20%. - Burn duration reduced (10 - 6 seconds). - Airblast re-fire delay reduced by 25%. - Airblast ammo usage reduced by 20%. - All reflected rockets/grenades/arrows now mini-crit. - Airblasting enemies into environmental deaths now awards the death credit to the Pyro. - Heavy changes: - Minigun spin-up/down time reduced by 25% - Minigun firing movement speed increased to just under half-normal (from 80 to 110). - Throwing a sandvich to a teammate now earns a full bonus point (was half a point). - Bonk! changes: - Post-use movement penalty removed. - Now has a re-use cooldown time, like The Sandman. - The Chargin' Target changes: - Direct charge hit now does 50 damage + 10 per head (up to 5 heads). - Capped the turn rate from +left and +right while charging. - The Huntsman changes: - Removed restriction that arrows need to be aimed before they can be lit by a Pyro. - Bow can now be lowered without losing the lit arrow. - Changed bow so you can start charging it while you're jumping, but you can't fire until you're on the ground. - Fixed bug where flame effect would get stuck on if you change weapons with a lit arrow. - Backpack changes: - Moved Crafting button out to the root class/backpack selection panel. - Dragging and dropping items in your backpack now makes appropriate sounds. - Bot changes: - Bots don't retreat to gather health as readily if they are in combat. - Bots no longer retreat when moving to block a point capture. - Bots should now equip an appropriate combat weapon and fight while moving to collect health. - Bots who are roaming the map and hunting now chase down their victims, following them around corners. - Bots That fire projectiles (ie: rockets/grenades/etc) don't hold down their fire button for a minimum time.

Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 23:10:53 +0100 I suppose you would have to complain to Valve. Tell them you don't like me and that I'm a very nasty person...well probably a nasty person and ask them what mood they are in. Because they sure as hell don't listen to reasoned argument.

It's in Valves interest to spoil us by allowing us to serve our gaming communities with varied and unique servers. Learn the history of the games and the countless mods that have kept those games alive for years. Glad that you acknowledge that we are all moaning, if a brain donor like you notices that, then perhaps Valve will. :-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Shelley Sent: 15 October 2007 21:50 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Servers that will Valve will randomly remove from the steam master servers, without any annoucment. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Valve have spoilt you lot in the past by allowing you to customise this that and the other.

Valve publicity ? You mean marketing? Don't tell me that Clown Lombardi is behind all of this. That man is responsible for the abomination that is the Steam forums, you know. Where they went out and found the worst trolling halfwits the internet has to offer and gave them the keys to the Valve forums. The sooner Valve get's shot of Lombardi better.

I'm not trying to be rude. It's just that everyday in this community, there is always some joker, who thinks it's big and clever to post up Quit whinning, XXX isn't what I'm after, I'm alright Jack..yada yada yada Fair point :) I share your viewpoint (albeit from the other side) - and I did post something like that yesterday :(As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be random. No one knew what Valve was going to do then, so what makes you think you know what they are going to do tomorrow, with regards for the RANDOM REASON to why they are removing servers from the list? I dont think it's fair to hang this up with totally random stuff Valve might do.. It's not like it was totally unexpected, the hack / mod surfaced, people got excited and Valve publicly weren't happy with it. I dont think randomly killed is fair - perhaps unexpectedly. They are NOT going to turn round tomorrow and kill Eventscripts or MM:S and so on.. (when they get to OB source).With regards to metamod source. They might not remove metamod servers from the list, but you might find that your server has been removed because Valve didn't like a side effect of a particular metamod plugin. If they don't give us a clue as to what the rules are, then we have to assume that any plugin is a risk. Sorry that was a joke - Im not MM:S fan :)It doesn't matter how valid anyone thinks any reason the master list removal is. If server admins become scared to install plugins, because they don't know whether that plugin will incur the wrath of valves list server, then why bother writing and installing plugins? Yes, and also no. This is 1
RE: [hlds] 24 Player Limit
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] LOL if you don't like 32 players why don't you just go play a 24 person server? Some people could same the samething about the 24 person servers. That would be redic stupid to just have 24 person servers max. I hope we find a way to make a 64 person server just like CSS. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] 24 Player Limit Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 16:23:20 + While I know this might not be popular on this list, I would request that Valve address the exploit allowing more than 24 players in a server. You've spent a great deal of time finding a balance with this game and it has been beautifully achieved with the 24 player limit. However, I fear that the ability to run 32 players will rapidly become the norm and the balance is destroyed with that many players. Having 4 snipers and 5 pyros on a team and still having the ability to advance is just ridiculous. You nailed it with 24 and I for one feel you should keep it there or at least make it extremely difficult to have more so most servers don't end up running with that many players.

RE: [hlds] Please break custom maps that are using the EP2 engine
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Wow I really dont understand people If you don't like it don't play them. not 1 person is forcing you to play the maps. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] Please break custom maps that are using the EP2 engine Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 19:51:08 +0200 Hello, would it be possible to stop mappers from creating maps for TF2 by using tools that port EP2 materials and models to EP1? I realy dislike those custom maps, often they don't fit the game style and the textures are not looking like the original ones. Please force the mappers to wait for the real SDK, thanks. Thanks PS: I don't want any answers like: Let the mappers do what they want. I just don't like the idea of having crappy maps around before the SDK is even released. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Team fortress 2 dedicated server srcds is giving me a fit. I did all the updating twice and seaming completed. Counter-Strike Source works using the srcds GUI or console. I cannot seem to get Team Fortress 2 to work. The GUI will come up but after setting map and players and such, when I click on Start I get this message: SteamUserStats could not be located in the dynamic link library. I click okay and the app shuts down. I searched via Google and Steam and forums and copernic and get one reference at the srcds.com site with someone else complaining about the same thing. Good grief I would appreciate any help whatsoever.
