Also, running it over the tickrate is pretty much useless, so as long as it's 1:1 or a little bit above the tickrate you should be fine. -Monk ___ 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 ___ 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

Hey all, I have noticed this on my account as well as some of the people on my server. When there is an achievement where you must do X action Y times (i.e. win 200 rounds), the percentage of rounds you have one is lower than it should be. A perfect example is the one where I have the achievement Pro-Moted (win 200 rounds) but under Leet-er Of Men (win 5k rounds), it only shows me as having won 83.

Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle. - Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead. - Fixed issue in which you weren't given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as '*** in 1' on console. - There's now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set. - If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit. - If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0. - If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit. - If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing. - Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions. General: - Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen. Now only a specific list of commands is allowed. - Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound. - cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command. - Many development console commands which would crash the server removed. - Updated source engine addresses many issues: - Better flashlight effect - Better HDR behavior - Multicore rendering support - Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server. - Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server. - Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server. - Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server. - Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33.

So, here is said reminder :) Below is the same message as the last time it was sent --- Sometimes, admins may have small questions not necessary for the mailing list, want to have a dialogue with other admins real-time, or simply want to discuss various topics they don't feel worthy for the mailing lists. I was thinking to myself earlier today that while it's been mentioned from time to time in other topics that there's a HLDS/SRCDS support channel, there's never been a thread dedicated to it to tell all server admins on both Win and Nix that it exists. Therefore, I'd like to officially declare that there is such a channel! It's located on *GameSurge at #hlserveradmins *and is run by myself (Atreus) and nephyrin. While it's not currently super active, generally questions people have are answered and will definitely become more popular if more administrators, both those with questions and those with answers, were to join. Take note I'm not advertising this in the common sense. Rather, I'm hoping to help -- I personally gain nothing from the channel filling further other than to see it flourish and people have an easier time getting their questions answered. For those who are skimming or using plaintext, and unable to see the bolded info above, it's: *#hlserveradmins @ irc.gamesurge.net* Feel free to join and enjoy :) For IRC newbies, here's some recommended clients for... - Windows: *mIRC* or XChat - OSX: *Linkinus*, XChat Aqua, or Colloquy - Linux: Haven't used IRC on nix, but I've heard good things about: XChat, BitchX, issri - Firefox Users: ChatZilla My clients of choice are bolded, as I use Windows on my PC and OSX on my MBP Laptop. I'm sure others have recommendations, as can be seen the last time the channel was mentioned. Toodles! -Atreus Note: Offtopic chat is fine when technical issues are not actively being discussed, but being purposely disruptive or rude and disrespectful to others will result in a warning/kick/ban from the channel depending on the severity of the offense.

Running your own content server is a significant investment not just in
hardware (thats the small part really), but also bandwidth as they can
use extreme amounts. Our two in Australia (that aren't filtered

the other one not far behind that).

About write permissions, could you say set ownership of /cstrike/ (or similar) to user1 and update w/ that user, the run with user2 ? Sent from my iPod On Mar 27, 2010, at 7:42 PM, Matt Stanton inflatablesoulm...@brothersofchaos.com wrote: If you're renting a dedicated server from someone, generally the prices are the same for windows and linux, so there's no obvious plus or minus here. If you want to be able to automate everything without having to buy extra software and you have the ability to write simple shell scripts, then plus for linux. If you have piles of money laying around and either don't have a clue how to write shell scripts, or are too lazy to bother, then +1 for windows. If you are running source games, then you are going to have to use D-FENS to help protect against file upload exploits. Most source engines have a version of D-FENS on windows and linux, but on linux there is no plugin compiled for Left4Dead2, so you have to actually know what you're doing when it comes to locking down the filesystem and running the servers as unprivileged users. I spent a couple of hours working out a script to remove write access from the user directory my l4d2 server runs as so that when the server is running, nothing can be written by that server except for logs, spray files, and sourcemod gamedata, and it runs as part of the startup script for the server. When the server is shut down, everything becomes user-writeable again so that the server can be updated. It wouldn't have taken nearly as much time if I hadn't had to have a bunch of documentation up so that I knew what I was doing, so an experienced shell-scripter probably could have easily knocked it out in a few minutes. Source engine games are basically not optimized for linux, but they are mildly optimized for windows. Depending on how many servers you are trying to run on one box, this could become an issue. FTP is always a giant pain in the ass to secure properly, and since I have no idea how to do that, linux+ssh+scp for file transfers allows me to have an inherently secure method for transferring files to and from my server so long as the user passwords aren't easily attackable. Not sure how you would do this on windows. If you are trying to run anything other than game servers, more stuff is available for linux that is secure and free. Again, it goes back to money. Our clan runs a windows server 2k3 box that we rent from a GSP for 7 of our 8 servers. I have never had a huge amount of trouble using it or tweaking it, other than some issues with automatic updates and remote desktop. I have my own personal linux server that I run a l4d2 server for the clan on, also. Likewise, I have had little to no issues with it. It runs linux because I am familiar with it, because it's free (I already pay enough for the colocation without having to pay for windows and everything else), and because I am running a zimbra server on it, which isn't available for windows. So, basically, it's all about what you're comfortable with, what you plan on using it for, and what you can afford. On 3/27/2010 9:27 AM, Jake Eisenman wrote: Just curious.

Re: [hlds] Clients timing out

Some of you may have had the error *Error Verifying STEAM Ticket* when trying to join a CS: Source or TF2 server. Others are getting*Client Timed Out: Disconnected*If you have, you know how frustrating it can be. The problem you're having is not related to the game server or your software. This is a STEAM client issue related to a STEAM server connectivity problem. More than likely the main STEAM server you connected to when your STEAM client first logged on has gone down, is updating or is extremely busy. This often occurs when STEAM Releases Game updates. Basically the game server is saying that it can't confirm you're a legitimate CS: Source licensee because it can't talk to the STEAM authentication server consistently. There are two things you can do that will likely to fix it. OPTION 1: The first is try logging off and then back into STEAM (this is not the same as restarting STEAM) To logout and back in to STEAM, do the following: 1. Make sure you remember you're password. (Your username should be saved in the login screen after you logoff) 2. Right-click on the STEAM icon on the lower right corner of your screen and select Games 3. Select File 4. Select Change user 5. A message will come up saying this will log you out of STEAM. 6. Click Ok 7. Re-enter your username and password. 8. Log in. This will disconnect you from the STEAM Authentication server that won't validate your STEAM tickets and then log you into a new validation server. It usually works the first time, but if not, log out and back in using the above process and see if it will let you back in. Often times just waiting a few minutes will allow the STEAM authentication server to catch up and it will start working again without you doing anything at all. If this doesn't work, the next way will. OPTION 2: Delete and automatically re-create the ClientRegistry.blob To delete and automatically re-create the ClientRegistry.blob file, do the following 1. Close STEAM down. 2. Navigate to the following folder: - On Windows XP: c:\program files\steam - On Windows Vista and Windows 7: c:\program files(x86)\steam 3. Delete the ClientRegistry.blob file from the above folder and close the explorer 4. Restart STEAM. This will cause STEAM to check for an update and automatically create a new ClientRegistry.blob file. 5. Go play your game. Good luck!
