Re: [hlds] vac bypass glitch?
I normally don't respond to these but since I play MVM a lot I can tell by the scoreboard that the item servers were down during this. The MOTD also says Happy Valentines day which was on a Tuesday and we all know there's maintenance every Tuesday. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it has something to do with the maintenance downtime. You can tell the item servers were reset by the scoreboard cause there's no Tour count for any player - assuming all 6 players aren't 0 tours.

Frankly, the /custom folder is pointless from what I can tell because the TF2 game atleast downloads all files to the /download folder THEN to respective folder such as custom, models, materials, etc. Is the /custom directory ONLY used if you are distributing mods/models/custom files via direct file download OUTSIDE of the game client? Do I need to change all my plugins so they are directly pointing into players’ /download folder? Granted, all my files and custom vpks are downloading just fine, but just to a directory that even the readme.txt file says, “can be deleted at any time”. Horribly worded but here is exactly what I am trying to do: Dodgeball Plugin points to the following file as a custom model: /materials/models/dodgeball_nuke/nuke.mdl I have a vpk built around the following directory within the custom folder (which includes all the vmts, mdls, etc.): dodgeball_nuke/materials/models/dodgeball_nuke/nuke.mdl so my vpk is dodgeball_nuke.vpk I even have the dodgeball_nuke.vpk file uploaded to my fastdl server under the /custom directory as well as under my game server under the /custom directory. The server downloads the vpk fine but it gets placed under download/custom/dodgeball_nuke.vpk The plugin cannot see that directory so do I need to change the directory it points to, or is this just a bad way for tf2 to be downloading files? Did you do this as a way for security so servers couldn’t FORCE models/skins/etc unto players? I am just trying to figure out what exactly I would need to do to get plugins like this (any plugins like freak fortress, dodgeball, etc that use custom models) to work with those custom models. Long post, probably repeated myself multiple times and I’m sorryhopefully someone can help me out as this would effect all custom models across game servers for everyone.

Re: [hlds] Ad Company
ive been contacted by them myself, he was telling me that the plugin needs to be on 'custom' type TF2 servers over vanilla due to the latest update blocking the motd in vanilla type servers or something other... it sounds too good to be true. offered $7 CPM, said that he gets paid $10 CPM and he keeps $3 and pays me $7. i declined for multiple reasons, the main being he wouldn't send me the source of this plugin so i have no idea what this plugin is capable of and i dont want to get blacklisted in any way by valve. another reason was that he's obviously found a loophole of some sort making all that money without anyone seeing the ads, they only hear them and id hate to see the repercussions when this ad company finds out. scott biszmaier -Original Message- From: Harsh Baid harshbai...@gmail.com To: hlds hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Sun, Apr 7, 2013 12:58 pm Subject: [hlds] Ad Company Now i hate to bring this up again, but i got contacted today a few minutes ago at the time of writing and i just want to see if any1 else got contacted.

Re: [hlds] Plugin Loading on clients, enough is enough.
How would disabling it be best? Again, no one on the list seems to get it. I don't doubt that it's possible to load addons on the client, I'm very sure it is. You guys seem to want to make the assumption that anything that could be loaded into the client that can be malicious, IS in fact malicious. Server administrators can install malicious plugins that can do things 100x worse than any plugin on the client could do. Am I going to make the argument that the whole system that allows servers to load custom plugins should be removed, obviously not. Why is it servers should be immune to this kind of 'security' (it's a very false sense of security, what you guys are suggesting) and the game client should not? 1nsane wrote: Right, having it disabled entirely would be the best.

Re: [hlds] Plugin Loading on clients, enough is enough.
Malicious as in using the plugin to cheat. There is ways to control damage dealt by bullets and projectiles, as well as controlling crit factor, player speed and a number of different important gameplay aspects using SourceMod. All you need is to know how to write a simple script. And Cc that doesn't really do anything to justify the breaking of mods designed to be installed on the client. You know what, this whole thread really just puzzles the pinkhearts out of me, I really can't be arsed to defend this position anymore, if theres any single person out there who believes in surviving developers rights then good luck. msleeper wrote: Yeah, I seriously am failing to see what a malicious plugin could possibly be. To some people, this coming from me should be saying something. Some people might consider some plugins to be minorly annoying, but there really isn't any way for a game server to install spyware on your computer or something equally retarded. As somebody said, if you go to a server that is running malicious text ad spam or something... then leave.

In the instance where a player can leave a modded server he or she likes, it's not really that big of a deal. Now when you have people coming on to legitimate community servers and causing problems with modded files and plugins it's a different story, as in the first scenario, the person running the server has malicious intent, whereas in the second scenario, the malicious user is joining a server where plugins may give them an unfair advantage against other players. While I agree that server operators can load plugins that do nasty things, the player has the option to leave, whereas if a malicious client plugin user joins a server, the server operator has to ban that person, if they even know they're using a plugin in the first place. I agree with the notion that clients should not be able to load plugins. Why? Because if you really want a lan server for 20 minutes you can run the server tool off your computer, a VM, or something of that nature. The people who are using plugins for legitimate reasons (such as testing) KNOW how to setup a server. To Saul, A server owner can run malicious programs to spam users with text, sounds, slap the player, and just make the game unplayable to the person. It could be subtle as well, such as making clients do differing amounts of damage (way lower, way higher than usual, etc.) But the client has the option to leave said server without much toil.

Re: [hlds] Plugin Loading on clients, enough is enough.
In a general sense, there are a couple of client side plug-ins that do in fact serve a valid purpose, POV-Recorder, the ESEA Client plug-in and a couple of others. Maybe you could explain why this whole list, and the company that runs it should all agree to completely remove the ability to incorporate modifications just because it would suit YOUR needs as an anti-cheat function to thwart the .3% of TF2 players that are abusing it in this fashion? That's a pretty self-centered way of thinking and kind of ridiculous, it's sad so many of you don't seem to see it this way. ics wrote: Perhaps you could explain why client needs to load plugins in the first place? Game runs just fine without any. Plugins really exist for servers only. They either bring out extra features or gameplay changes. Clients aka players need none of those. For Steve i would like to say that srcds can be open window to harddrive. Just that it's the servers harddrive. Files can still be uploaded to the server by clients and downloaded from the servers by clients unless they have somekind of extra protection. It is true that Valve fixed some of methods by preventing some files to be downloaded but not all. -ics 3.4.2010 1:03, Scott Highland kirjoitti: How would disabling it be best?

Re: [hlds] No dedi files CoD MW2
As interesting and disappointing as it may be, i agree with Shane here, The list is a list for the valve dedicated server, anything else will clutter it up and make it hard to use for its purpose. On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 2:34 AM, Steven Hartland kill...@multiplay.co.ukwrote: It is actually Valve related as its being launched on the steam platform, which on the sales page has nothing about this critical flaw. So letting potential server admins for this game know, who will be on this list, that there is going to be no server is a relevant point. Anyone not aware of this could buy the game, from steam, rightly assuming it works in the same manor as any other well designed FPS, especially given its heritage. The result being a total waste of their money, so the more people that are aware of this retarded decision by IW the better IMO. That's before you consider the fact that if IW are allowed to get away with this then others like Valve etc may think its also a good idea; and your next iteration of CS may also ditch the ability to run quality dedicated servers. I don't think anyone at Value would be quite that stupid, but 1 week ago I would have said the same thing about IW, and now look where we are! All gamers, both PC and console, need stick together and support each other, that means spreading the word about this utter failure.

Re: [hlds] Master Server List
I was off the list found it was because of sv_tags I fixed that. Was on the list. Now appears I am off the list again. Does changing the server name make you have to do heartbeat?

Re: [hlds] Master Server List
Refresh the list once get 895 servers. Refresh again get 905. Refresh again get 915. Come back a few minutes later refresh get a low number like 898. Refresh again get higher numbers. Rinse repeat.

RE: [hlds] Update overwrite
How about its not nice to stomp around in my house without my permission. If the files don't really need updating then don't update them. I am certain that valve doesn't have any major breaking changes with the mapcycle.txt file that will stop the server from running properly. Maybe gameinfo.txt but probably not. Clearly also maplist.txt changes are not critically causing problems with an update. Good customer service by leaving these files alone is a much better option. Another option is to allow the server operator to create a file which lists files for the update process to leave alone. If one of the files listed in this process needs to be updated it should place the new file into a manual update folder where the server operator can then find out what is different and if it really needs updating.

During the height of the Connection reset errors, at Alfred's request, I ran -command ticketexplorer to generate some debug data.

[hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Install Questions
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.

But I just updated and there is no srcds.exe in any of the directories in my update download location.

As per the person with the problem: There must be a problem with your install. Run the installer again with a -verify_all flag or scrub the .blob file and try again. 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.

You have to have both UDP and TCP forwarded for the server to be listed and accessible. http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp .php?p_faqid=165p_created=1093390525p_sid=opCguQtip_lva=163p_sp=cF9zcmNo PTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTkwJnBfcHJvZHM9MCZwX2NhdHM9 MCZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBf c2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9c2VydmVyp_li=p_topview=1 Usually this is caused by one of several things: 1. You don't have both TCP and UDP forwarded for your server port (27015 typically). 2. Your uplink was congested when you started the server. 3. You used the map command more than once when you started the server. You can only use one instance of map; after that all other map changes must be invoked by the changelevel command. 4. Check to see if you have two NICs (network cards) in your system, you might want to try disabling the one that isn't your active Internet connection. You might need to flush the routing table after doing this, then start your server and see if the problem is resolved. 5. Also try adding your external IP address in the Server launch properties (-IP your external IP address). Try these... But to be listed unlike what someone else said you need to have the ports forwarded for the server. Only the 27015 ports. If you are running the server and a client behind your router on the same machine you may have other problems but if they are separate machines then it will not be an issue. The difference between the firewall ports for the server and the client is for the server the 27015 port needs forwarded from the router to your server machine and for the client you need the ports OPEN so that the client can communicate on those ports. It would be like allowing port 80 so that you can browse the web but you aren't forwarding port 80 from the router to the web browser machine. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ole Kristian Rosvold Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 2:58 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Problem with server listing -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Thanks for all the answares!

We'd be very grateful if anyone with the resources could host some server instances for the duration of the weekend to give trial players a good experience as we've had too many listen servers running on previous weekends distorting first impressions of the game. We've just recently added a new map and our first team modes - Team Elimination and Team VIP to add to the existing non-team Hunt, Eliminiation and Deathmatch. The dedicated server for The Ship works both on windows and linux, delivered via the hlsupdatetool as per other Source servers. However, it does not use the base source engine files and should not be installed on top of a CS, HL2DM server etc.. but in a separate folder. With the hldsupdatetool installed into a new folder the commands to install the server are Windows : HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game ship -dir C:\theship\ Linux : ./steam -command update -game ship -dir . A server.cfg file lives in ship/cfg/ which can be tweaked - it should look very familiar to other source config files. The server can then be run via Windows : C:\theship\srcds.exe -console +hostport 27015 -game ship +map atalanta +maxplayers 16 +servercfgfile server.cfg +mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt +log on Linux : ./srcds_run -game ship +map atalanta +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate +servercfgfile server.cfg +mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt +log on If you have any questions or need help with setup and configuration feel free to post to the list or reply to me directly. Thanks for any help you can give and hope to see you on board :) Ed -- [ smime.p7s of type application/x-pkcs7-signature deleted ] -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] Number of players advertised on server.
You really don't need 6 reserved slots. If you are using amxmodx the way it works is that someone with reserved slot allowed joins they uses a hidden slot to join the server and then someone is kicked from the server to open the reserved slot back up. You just configure with amxmodx it does everything you need to do with setting up reserved slots. If you are not using amxmodx then just ignore this message. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Barnett Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 9:14 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] Number of players advertised on server.

RE: [hlds] Feature request: sv_serverdomain
Probably what it should do is verify that the domain name resolves to the ip address. If it does then the system should just store the DNS entry. Otherwise it should just store the ip address and maybe send a packet back to the server that way the server can place into the log that the masterlist is using the ip instead of a hostname. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cbass Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 11:09 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Feature request: sv_serverdomain I wear this shirt while reading this list. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/31fb/ Anyways, I agree that it would be nice to have SV_serverdomain to allow administrators to set what domain point to that server.

RE: [hlds] Feature request: sv_serverdomain
I hold @Home in high regard because they were my first cable isp. But put your epeen back in your pants. Just because someone doesn't have as much experience as you doesn't mean the idea is not worthy. I built 35 million dollar storage area networks in a now defunct startup company that was brought down by sloppy management, yet I still think the idea is worth merit. Not everyone spends that much money on dedicated ips and colocation. Even if they do isps change and dns can be modified and, at least in my vision (mostly), is future proof. Occassionally even those of us, due to cost or poor service, move our servers to other network providers and this would save us from having to start over with a regular user base. Don't be so close minded. Maybe you will get more respect. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of -Mike- Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 1:25 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Feature request: sv_serverdomain Ahh yes, the AARIS trials. I'll buy it when I see it in production and stable. You know Nick, just because you get the hand-me-down technology from the colonies does not mean it's on todays cutting edge. Take for example, pushing 100mb over HFC. Hip back around 1999, and deemed far too unstable given the current evolution of deployed cable infrastructure technology, which evolves at a much slower rate than traditional IP network infrastructure. But why knows, maybe AARIS got their buggy vaporware sorted out. Doubt it. Obviously you don't know your history, Nick. @Home Network was founded around 1994 with the intent of taking a then defunct military technology of IP over Hybrid Fiber Coax (the 'cable modem') and with partnerships with major cable providers bringing the technology to market to the general consumer. (hi, I was there, worked on that bit) We built a huge backbone infrastructure just to carry the amount of traffic the new 'broadband' technology would be pushing to the exchanges (AS6172, hi again, helped engineer it) During the life of the company, we took over canada, hopped the pond into Europe, (@Home Benelux/Chello, hi there, was there for that) and was a smashing success, the UK... you name it. The sun never set on the @Home empire. Those of us on the original team made stupid money, Nick... wish you could have been there. There are good chunks of the late 90's that are just 'Scene Missing' in my memory thanks to loads of stock money. We pulled our golden parachutes around 2000 and bailed, this was when ATT took over and diced all of @Home up into components and sold it off. This is why the URL on the business card does not resolve. The company is defunct. Warning game related content: I hosted a stack of FPS servers from the rack in the NOC the entire time, it was grand. A current business card I do not have handy, never bothered to order them. I will tell you I head up Operations for a rather large search engine. We have an AS, we have a substantial presence in a datacenter very close to MAE West, and we were recelenty featured on MSNBC, the Wall Street Journal, etc...
