Re: [hlds] Status
Personally in my opinion and knowing how I like to run my community, I have three possible combinations of servers I would use. A purely private locked server for a regulars night or private fun with a group of friends. A group + match making connect server, where people in my group as well as the match making crowd can come in. And a group only connect server where only my friends on my friends list can connect for the simple reason we don't want any possible random trouble makers coming in. What this would also do is look for people on my friends, friends list to connect thus only allowing people on someone's friends list and no match makers coming into this server. Also what I would like to see is some sort of reserve system, where I can specify that I can have 1 or 2 slots or more, configurable by me, to set aside out of my total player count, to be set as group/community or friends can join at any time. Also would I would like to see is when the game goes live a way to search for games that are looking for survivors only or zombies only, or in other words to look for games that are full of survivors and seeking zombies only and vice versa. I hope that is understandable. Now as far as the rep system, I don't think it should be made public what rep you have except to the person themselves but should be viewable, with possible hints on how to improve you reputation as well as what you are out of the total. Such as you are 35/100 in rep points, then have a message somewhere to tell you what you can do to improve to play with more cooperative people. And the last thing on the rep system, I think you should also have a cvar that will limit at what rep point you will allow people to connect to your servers, that way, in mass, we the server admins can set a 50/100 rep point or what not can connect and basically keep any problem childs off your server. Less administration = more play time and more fun. And last but not least, I would like to thank Erik for letting us know they are working on things and listening to our input. I know at times personally, it's hard to believe that you guys are listening. And I think this is a chance for the server admins to pitch in their input and sort of start helping to reinvent how multiplayer systems work in various games and to help improve player counts to each admins servers. Well this is my opinion and I hope this kinda sums up what a lot of people are thinking.

Re: [hlds] L4D server issue's summery
One of the issues I have seen, is that if you run a L4D server on the same ip as CS or TF2 even if they are on a different port the console gets spammed with the messages from the other game server's console.

Re: [hlds] Client crash question
Actually the /3Gb switch enables 32 bit operating systems to page memory above 3Gb of memory rather that memory is physical or virtual. In 32 bit operating systems client services or programs once they have paged above 2GB per instance will crash. The 3GB switch for 32 bit operating systems allow programs to use up to 3GB of memory addressing per instance in fact with 3-4 GB installed into the machine you should see equal virtual memory with physical memory in most cases. In default configuration Windows will allocate 2GB for the operating system and 2GB max for all other operations such as services or programs. With the PAE switches, especially the /userva= switch you can allow the operating system to issue 3GB of paging/physical memory to each running instance allowing Windows to only use 1GB. Hence the reason all 32 bit windows operating systems only paging 4GB max. Depending on USB devices and how memory are mapped on those most installations of 32 bit (non-server) O/S's only will see a max of about 3.5GB with 4 installed. The /Userva= switch has a max allowed usage of 3070 which is a full 3Gb most people find the need to fine tune that usage in increments of 512, but can be fine tunes in 16-32-64 bit increments if the program you are using recognizes this. Here is another link a bit more relavent(?) to Vista and explains the paging situation with 32 vs 64 bit O/S and covers some server 2003 instances. http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/archive/2007/03/07/memory-management-unders tanding-pool-resources.aspx -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Eid Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2008 1:23 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Client crash question In this case, physical RAM has little to do with PPM.

Re: [hlds] Client crash question
Last time I had an issue like this was because of video drivers and virtual memory address spacing. Being on 64 bit you shouldn't have a virtual memory problem as Windows doesn't have a 2GB limit on 64 bit for applications. SO I would try looking elsewhere besides your ram, more specifically on the settings for your video card. If you are running the newest nVidia drivers I would stear clear of nhancer, and test all your card settings at lower rates because the newest drivers are a lot stronger than the old ones.

And what I would consider a Vanilla server is a server whose gaming rule set complies with that in which VALVe setup. IE no spawn modifications, no additional plugins.

But in the last 5 years or so it has become a hogwash of kids and people with ego's. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of michael stone Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:13 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] is there a section for just server admins is there a section for server admins that does not have all the rant that this one does.

Delete everything in your bin folder and do the update again.

RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2/Dedicated Server update

RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Install Questions
Not to mention that the new scrds isn't the same server, it's built off the new source stuff. Just install it into it's own directory, what's the point of having them both in the same, except for saving space. But if you can't space that space you need to delete something or buy more space from your provider. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2007 10:10 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Install Questions It's a standalone directory. The HLDS Update Tool will automatically force the download of these two directories at the same level: hl2 and orangebox. Inside of orangebox will be the srcds_run and srcds_i486 you need to operate the server. Sadly, the orangebox name is FORCED despite our cries. I would assume since they are even forcing separate required directories at the same outer root level that they are going to be using some sort of share of content between future 'orangebox' games. Good luck, it's a headache. Exactly how is a person suppose to install a TF2 dedicated server ? Are was suppose to update a css server and then update a tf2 server into the same directory? Because after doing an update for tf2 i.e HldsUpdateTool.exe -game tf -command update -dir D:\server\tf -verify_all There is no srcds.exe If this is what we are suppose to do now to update a tf2 server we are suppose to update it for css and then update it for tf2?? Seems little is gained by doing this new orange box method directory structure. Unless I just don't understand something properly. This is entirely impossible. But I have been looking around everywhere to determine how to setup a tf dedicated server. I suppose I could just copy the css ded server files then copy the tf files over and try it out. But I prefer to know exactly how it is suppose to be setup and also exactly how it is suppose to be updated, straight from the horses mouth so to speak :) Thanks for any answers.

RE: [hlds] TF2 Performance
I know this isn't a linux box that I have, but running 3 cs 1.6 server and one TF2 server with it full I'm runnings about 30% cpu on a dual xeon 2.8 box. That's with a 66tick server and scrdsfpsboost running also. -BeNt- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chumly chumly Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:41 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] TF2 Performance -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi! After reading what Kerry has seen with his linux box, I double checked mine. FC 7 q6600 3 css servers, all active 1 TF2. TF2 is running at ~45% cpu, and 960+ fps with 24 players. Not having any problems with it at all other than the map list issue. I don't think your getting the full info of whats on that box. I have seen other clans paying extra for a better server from 'them', only to find that they couldn't get above 60fps with more than 6 players in a 100 tic css server.

RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server
I would imagine this is going to be running off the source server. If you all you need is the game command to update the game, which I would imagine is TF2 of something along those lines. I dunno though. -BeNt- -Original Messages- Valve Nazi says: NO LINUX BINARIES FOR J00!! On 9/12/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And will there be linux binaries?

RE: [hlds] [Fwd: [Fwd: NO GAS ON 15TH]](SPAM)
Calm down children. Now the UN rates places to live etc? I would love to see that reference. But just my little tidbit of information, the United States in ranked 10th in the GDP scale of countries. Topped by Ireland, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Equatorial Guinea, Luxemburg and Bermuda being #1. I believe earlier you precluded to live in the U.K. which ranks 28th on that list. Best thing to-do is get your facts before bragging. While the U.S. doesn't have the highest GDP we are up pretty high on the list, with the average person making $43,500 a year vs. the U.K. at $31,400.
