As long as you report increased_maxplayers when you increase your maxplayers, you aren't lying whatsoever, and so complying with the Policy of Truth.

Specifically, there are server operators using them to keep their servers at 24 slots (to gain the maximum benefit from quickplay, I assume) until they fill, and then switching them to a higher slot count, etc. I know that there are much fewer server operators using these anymore (and one of the major TF2 gaming communities stopped using them about 6 months ago simply because they didn't want to run afoul of the Policy of Truth), but there are still quite a few operators using them, and it gives them an advantage (when filling their servers) as a result. I asked Fletcher this question many months ago, but never received a reply. We were considering using a similar system to keep our servers at a slot count of 24 until one of our donators needed to join a full server, at which time we would have the system change to a 32 slot server (and report all appropriate tags, etc.). We had no intention to game the system, but we wanted to maximize server population while preventing as many players as possible from getting kicked due to reserved slots. In the end, since we never received an answer back, we decided to err on the side of caution and not use a such a system. I know this is kind of a grey area, because on one hand Fletcher has said the Policy of Truth says that all servers must report the correct sv_tags that are *actively* in use, so technically, as long as the server reports increased_maxplayers when they change to 25+ slots, then I suppose they are in compliance, but as I've never heard a definitive yes or no as to whether this type of system would cross the line, I just wanted to pose the question here so we can know if using the kind of system I described above (to prevent too many reserved-slot kicks) would be ok. To be clear - this is not meant to call anyone out who are using dynamic slots, I'm merely trying to finally get a ruling on their use and compliance with the Policy of Truth Thanks. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

(It’s an “optional update” for servers.) To obtain these builds, you need to opt into the prerelease beta. To opt into the prerelease beta on the client, right click on the game in the game list and select Properties, select the “Betas” tab, and select the “prerelease” beta. (This is a public beta and does not require a password.) To select which branch to sync the dedicated server to using steamcmd, you need to pass “-beta prerelease” to the app_update command. For example, if you are using a SteamCmd script file, you might have something like this: login anonymous force_install_dir cstrike app_update 232330 -beta prerelease quit (I am told that it is possible to pass the -beta switch on the steamcmd command line, through some magic combination of quoting, so you can avoid having to create a script file. Hopefully some kind soul will figure out how to do that and share it.) Switching between two steampipe branches is really fast and easy, so if there’s a problem, you can switch back quickly. (Opting out of the “steampipe beta” was really painful because it was switching between two entirely different content distribution systems --- that will never apply again.)

Our current plan is to always keep the prerelease branch active, even if it is the same build as the main branch. This way you can stay opted in.

Because the sv_consistency ConVar no longer exists, the SteamPipe clients are returning eQueryCvarValueStatus_CvarNotFound for the query. SMAC is not expecting this, and kicks the client. You are correct in saying that if clients are getting kicked by SMAC for this, the server needs to update their SMAC installation.

Re: [hlds] Optional updates to Source engine betas released
Wouldn't using +sv_pure -1 fix the parsing problem? It's just a bit of a big gotcha, would it make more sense to push all the sv_pure values up 1?

The reason is that there is extra work involved in maintaining some hashes, and they need to start happening from the very beginning.

Changes: * Added significant diagnostic output * Fix bug causing the tool to restart the update process all over from the beginning if there was an error with a single depot. * Fix spurious connection reset by peer error when closing connection to content server, which could cause the update to restart from the beginning. * Tool will now reuse a connection to a depot, rather than disconnecting and reconnecting * If the determines in the first pass that no files would actually be updated from a particular depot, it will no longer needlessly connect to that depot in the second pass * Added -nobootstrapupdate option Basically, we fixed a few of the most egregious things the tool was doing that make a slow update much slower. Queuing to connect to a content server still takes up the bulk of the update time during peak times after a major update is released; so don't expect miracles. However, we are hopeful that most users will see modest speedup. We also added quite verbose diagnostic output, so at least you can tell what the tool is doing. Be aware that this output may contain what appear to be errors, especially when the tool is trying to connect to a content server. Failures to connect are normal and the tool has always experienced them and automatically retried. The only thing new is that it is telling you what it is doing.

Re: [hlds] Client 0 overflowed reliable buffer
Don't even think the name has to have garbage characters, it would probably work equally well if the player was just connecting with a long name. Events are reliable, such as player_connect and player_disconnect. So repeatedly connecting and disconnecting within a second will result in a huge amount of events being distributed to all clients, and hence overflowing the reliable buffer.

Come on guys I think you're all having a laugh now. Of course they're not just going to delist you. Of course you'll be contacted. Of course they take popularity into account.

This is pretty effective at canceling our the noise of uninformed or malicious users. Is that based on traffic levels? Our server TF2 fleet has been around for a long time now (going into our 4th year). As any other long-term server operator knowsif you run actively admin'd servers, and enforce basic rules of conduct (in our case, no bigotry, sexual harassment, griefing or cheating of any kind) you are bound to develop quite a few enemies over the years. With over 20 servers that are full 18+ hours per day, I would honestly expect more of those types of reports than other server operators, and would hope the high-volume of our traffic would be taken into consideration if the situation ever progressed to a point where our servers received this extra level of scrutiny. I want to emphasize that we play within the rules and every thing we do is meant to foster long-term, repeat traffic to our servers. My concerns are simply that this system as described WILL be abused, of that you can be certain. Anything and everything that is open to abuse by some players IS definitely abused. Since F2P was implemented, we've had a virulent minority of players who have made creating new accounts to circumvent bans a rapid process (we've had one in particular that enjoys harassing our female players who can be back on a server with a new account within 5 minutes - I believe he's on his 18th or 19th such account). I'm sure players would like nothing more than to get back at our servers by filing fraudulent reports from all of their multiple accounts. Even worse, those Steam groups which we have banned en masse (groups that openly support warez, hacking tools, racsim, etc) would most like also love to stage little abuse-reporting raids. My hope is that, in the investigation of these reports, The TF2 team will not only look at the reports at face value, but the community behind the servers in question. While I fully understand TF2 is Valve's game to do with as they wish, there are communities such as ours that have spent years (and thousands of man-hours, and thousands in equipment costs) building their membership and community around TF2 (among other Valve properties), and I hope that if it ever became the case where a question was raised about the administration of our servers, we could have an open and frank discussion prior to any decisions being made.

No. Let me reiterate so Fletcher isn't repeating himself. If your players are having a good time, you won't be in trouble.

We have a decent player base who support us and like that we take an active and often hardline approach toward the isms (racism, sexism, ageism, etc.) as well as toward trolls/dicks in general. Will valve investigate and actually consult with the server owner/community? Do I need to start doing demos, screenshots and recordings of folks spewing all of the hate speech and rule breaking just to cover my back? I ask this because compared to some other servers, we *ARE* a little more strict than other servers. So with this new subjective aspect, it has me wondering what's to come. And why now? Free to play was implemented, which allows even more anonymous trolls to make account after account (and even change their IP as well), and now I gotta answer for banishing groups of them off my server? This may just be the end of our servers, as I never thought, as a server owner, I'd have to answer to Valve for the server I ran when I am not violating any terms of service in doing so.

Since the update your server will run at the mod's tick rate (number of world simulations that are executed per second). TF2 is 66 tick, so your server will run at 66 fps.

Without it, it looks like the server runs nanosleep to wait 1300 ns or 1400 ns (at least, in an empty server -- with a busy one, I'd expect this to be less), then submits one or more 100 ns sleeps in order to align with its desired next tick time. With it enabled, it appears that the server just submits one nanosleep and then spins the rest of the time for its alignment. Modern Linux kernels are quite precise when it comes to timers, at least when slack is disabled (using chrt or other means).

Re: [hlds] Lower server-side FPS with recent updates?
But ticks occur inside a frame, so if you have a constant FPS of 66, you will also have a constant tick rate of 66. It makes no logical sense that doing more frames in a second is useful, because no ticks will occur in them. Hence, there is no change in hit detection, because no more network updates are sent out, or no more client-server move packets are processed, so the world doesn't change whatsoever between ticks/frames. A Valve employee could prove me wrong here but the proof is all in the Quake/Source Engine leak source code. -- Kind regards, *Saul Rennison* On 5 July 2011 17:15, Mart-Jan Reeuwijk mreeu...@yahoo.com wrote: fps_max server tick rate -- *From:* AnAkIn . anakin...@gmail.com *To:* tmar...@shaw.ca; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list hlds@list.valvesoftware.com *Sent:* Tuesday, 5 July 2011, 17:25 *Subject:* Re: [hlds] Lower server-side FPS with recent updates?

Re: [hlds] CSS OB first impressions?
Like. Thanks, - Saul. On 24 June 2010 18:38, D3vilfish - Simiancage.org priv...@caterhamhill.netwrote: As a community we derive from back in the days of cs1.2/3/4/5. When Source first came to our doors we embraced and shunned it at the same time, we all loved cs1.x but new source was the way forwards. So here we are source gone OB, love it or hate it, it's the way forwards. Lots will argue the 66 tick rule, the numerous faults and god knows what else but you know after 6 years of running and playing servers im quite happy css finaly made OB. It carries Valves support for hopefully plugging holes in what was a dated engine. This brings me to one observation that I have seen since CSS going OB. We run our servers as secure as possible, file perms set to a diff user, pure list kept tight and whatever sm/mm plugins are available to keep the servers safe. We have a good group of active admins with experience to clock dodgy players BUT Since last night we have seen a huge amount of players join then disconnect, maybe they have bad ping, maybe they don't like that pure list disabling skins but I have the feeling that nobody realised how many hackers there were out there. We used to ban maybe 2 to 5 players a day with the old engine over 3 servers with dodgy/obvious hacks. Today we have banned 1 in 24hrs. I know they will eventually script there sad lives back into cheating but for now it's just a slice of heaven. So for the first time in my life I commend valve on bring CSS up to date and making it a viable game that will have more attention the same as TF2 L4D2. As for gaming as a client I'm now 37 and past my sell by date for all these younguns that have lightening quick reactions. ___ 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

Either way, my code does temporarily modify the memory protection on certain addresses in order to hook and unhook these tables. But like it has been mentioned before - so do programs that draw in-game like FRAPS. (steam overlay does not, to my knowledge.

Either way, suppose I have the base of this table (mind you, this is in the .data section while the program is running, not .code - I believe that may be the point of VMTs but I am no CS major), and I have the offset into the table of the function I want. It is not impossible to save the pointer to the original function, and detour the call through my own code (in a separate module loaded into the game process). Alternatively, if I were to get the spread calculation CODE and overwrite that in memory with NOPs, that would get me banned rather quickly (I hope!).

At present it provides a way for people to exploit the engine without the risk of getting a VAC ban for injecting a cheat. So far from what I've witnessed over time people are now flocking to using the VSP interface because VALVe doesn't stop them from doing so, nor is there the risk of getting VAC banned either. Also, developing on the VSP interface for cheat makers is how they can make production time faster. As seen in this URL: http://forum.gamedeception.net/threads/19573-C-TF2-Your-first-cheat The VSP interface has more usefulness to cheat developers than it does anybody else. Using CVar detectors like KAC and zBlock won't continue to work to stop this. At the rate of expansion of the use of VSP it will far exceed my capacity to fight it by myself. Plus by leaving the VSP interface open wanna be cheat developers will have a easier time learning how to create cheats for Source engine games and test it with the client. At present I cannot see a good reason to leave the VSP interface open on the client.

Re: [hlds] Fake servers
Players who bitch about change need to stfu and play something else. Go back to 1.6 if you don't want updates. It's those ignorant, selfish bigots that have made VALVe give up on CS:S. So good job.

Re: [hlds] The reason for closing server plugin interface on clients.
Yes, the point is: modifying game memory (hooking functions, etc.) will still trigger VAC. Thanks, - Saul.

Never thought of that, I'm pretty sure the renderer DLLs are interchangable, though. Thanks, - Saul.
