[hlds] CSS: Long disconnect messages crashing servers?
Over the last few days I've had a couple of my servers experience weird behaviour, pausing, restarting or outright crashing. Notes: - Servers are using the beta update from a few days ago. - Servers are using latest version of SM/Meta Mod running kac and rcon_lock - rcon TCP port is blocked and rcon password is secure (32 digits of random letters/numbers) - No crash dump - Log file cuts out mid stream. - Nothing obvious in the log files except for disconnect messages like the following: L 04/26/2010 - 16:30:28: Player Name]1260STEAM_0:X:XXXTERRORIST disconnected (reason SS) (Player name and steam ID removed to protect the guilty.) When such a log entry appears there are lots of comments straight after of server weirdness. I was just in one of my servers then when it restarted after the above message.

Re: [hlds] CSS: Long disconnect messages crashing servers?
Ok after a bit more googling its a hack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsC8GtSWuyU If you parse or stream your log files for monitoring you should probably add a watch/event for these long disconnect messages as they are using a 3rd party program to do so.

[hlds] [L4D] sv_cheats in server.cfg affecting abilities of players
One of our forum users has figured out that if you put sv_cheats 0 in your server config the following abilities are changed: * Melee nerf. It gets progressivly slower after the first 6-7 swings * Smoker tounge reset is longer for a miss (10-15? seconds) * Zombies have a spawn cap of 3 * Zombie minimiun spawn radius is larger (20-30 ingame metres) More details here: http://games.on.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=240t=157826 Removing the cvar setting removes the ability changes.

Re: [hlds] L4d vote kicking
Personally I see it as the guy who pays the bill makes the rules (Including who does, and doesn't get kicked). The community will vote with their feet if admins are too draconian. We've got some fairly strict rules on what you can and can't do on our public servers. We even have a bot that parses chat text and instant bans those that mention common cheat phrases and porn/shock sites. Sure we get some criticism from the community but the majority love the fact that our servers are essentially tard free.
