Re: [hlds] SteamCMD: Failed to receive license info
I'm pretty sure this is related to the Steam server maintenance. I was getting that yesterday and today it's hit-or-miss with whether or not it will connect.

Some maps can cause a server to crash, due to several reasons. Such as reaching the limits of entities, brushes or having an I/O that is corrupted. Now, is the map wanting to trigger the changelevel? like players walk on an area, a door closes and it changes to the map2 to keep on the story. This is a dodgy event. It can be done but with experimentation and many tries. If it is the server because the timee reached 0, I can not help you, that is a server side issue if it happens every time with other maps. My reconemndation is to talk to the mapper if this issue occurs only with his maps. You could try launching some official maps to test if it is only his map that crashes.

Re: [hlds] Regarding the server mod that kicks free TF2 players...
It's their server, who cares what they do with it.

Most of those servers should probably just turn off quickplay instead, it's a much nicer way to keep out random players if that is the server owner's concerns. We did that on our most two active servers, not to keep the F2P players out, but more to make sure that our regulars was able to get into the server at all (while still letting F2P players join if they wish, they just need to find it through a server browser).

Re: [hlds] Max players filter and SourceTV does not mix
Why not just set the threshold to 25 then? I assume the only reason that a server would have 25 slots would be for either SourceTV or for a reserved slot, due to it making the teams uneven (13 vs 12).

All good for the players, but unfortunately it also counts the SourceTV slot as a player slot, and therefore a 24 player setting filters out 24 player servers with SourceTV active would be filtered away (due to counting as a 25 player server). And most servers with SourceTV uses SourceTV to catch cheaters. While we're not dependent on public players, it would be a shame if many players looking after 24 player servers would miss ours due to this feature. ___ 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

We run 5 TF2 servers and the thought of having to only run one update as well as saving on our resources was a pretty sexy idea. So, I took three of the five and launched them from one set of files. I created unique server.cfg files for them as well as unique mapcycle.txt and pointed to unique MOTD files and after a few initial kinks, they have been running swimmingly. The only problem we seem to have is during updates. We update one of the three servers via TCAdmin and then restart the other two. Everything seems to be working fine. the versions all change to the correct version, the correct config files are firing, etc. but for some reason, the update does not always take. For example, during the last update, the Fixed the Gunboats absorbing damage from the Soldier's grenade kill taunt did not take. We kept testing it and the Soldier was still immune. The only thing we could do to fix it was to delete the .dll file, run the update again, and then restart all the servers. This was the second time we have had to do this and it seems to work, but it is driving me nuts because it does not make any sense to me. The only thing I can think of is that we should stop all instances of the servers running of the server files, then update one of them and then restart them all.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Available
They're not going to remove that stuff. There are functions that are hardcoded with dates for holidays and events. With some trickery you could make it so that your server will still run with the halloween stuff (or other holidays) 24/7/365 even after the event has ended (not possible with a SM plugin, so don't ask - an extension, however, is a different story). 1nsane wrote: They could remove support for the ghost/pumpkins from the game (I'm guessing it's just an entity with some paths?).

Re: [hlds] Looking for solution regarding CS:S server crashing exploit / tool
It looks like it might just be the failed rcon attempts or something. The program just seems to generate a cfg file that you execute via console, so that's about all I can think of. Hans Vos wrote: Hello, I just found this video on YouTube which shows how to crash a Counter-Strike: Source game server using some kind of tool. I work as voltunteer for a large e-sports organization in The Netherlands (Gamelux.nl) and we are having trouble with people using this during official matches. Does anybody have more information and possibly a fix for this? From what I've gathered so far that it is some kind of overflow script which send a abnormal amount of connections to the game port. I have confirmed there is a plugin which counts the amount of connections and then blocks the IP. But I cannot convince this person to share this plugin with me unfortunately.

Re: [hlds] SDK update and server downloads
As long as you only change entities in the map, there will be no problems and players won't have to re-download the map. If there are any brush changes, then people will get errors and be kicked. Richard Eid wrote: Here it is: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Patching_levels_with_lump_files Support on that goes back to EP1, so if your changes can be done with lump files, you might consider that. I guess the problem with that is if someone else decides to use the same method on the same map, the naming convention used will end up being a problem. On the other hand, if it works like .BSP files in that if one already exists with the same name, the client will get an error about mismatched files, then as long as you get your .LMP to the client before anyone else you have nothing to worry about. :) -Richard Eid On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 4:04 AM, Richard Eid richard@gmail.com wrote: Can you use the same method used in Left 4 Dead's Survival mode where they blocked off large portions of the maps?

Re: [hlds] TF2 - New Events / Log line quirks
For the FAN thing, hook the player_death event and if the attacker killed the player with a scattergun, look at some of the netprops like m_iEntityLevel and such. They differ for the scattergun and the FAN and are the same each time depending on which was used. Octo wrote: I run a popular 3rd party stats package for TF2, after this latest update I was investigating adding the new weapons and events to it so that my users could see who got the most kills with this and that, and who hit someone with jarate the most, etc. While I was investigating I found a couple small quirks with events/logged messages that would make it easier on this third party stats program if they were corrected. FAN still logs as scattergun (when medic weapons were first released the unlock names matched the items they replace, this was changed in a later update) - if it could log with a unique name that'd be very useful. Dead Ringer - the 'death' line looks identical to a normal death line - the 'fake' can be detected in the player_death event by looking for death_flag 32 (which is great) but if a property could be add to the death log line that differentiated 'fake' eg: (customkill fake) or had any other way of distinguishing from the just the logs so that it wouldn't require a plugin to tell if it was a real death or not. The events player_jarated and player_jarated_fade and player_shield_blocked don't seem to ever happen in game play (I couldn't get them to happen at least) - I don't even see them with net_showevents 1, so they don't seem to be client only. player_extinguished happens when you put out a teammate with the jarate, but not for pyro (air blast) or medic extinguishes (medigun). The comments in the modevents.res say: player_extinguished // sent when a burning player is extinguished by a medic. Also vicim is always set to 0 in this event. When this event does happen (due to jarate) it sometimes happens a couple times for the same extinguish this isn't that big a deal, but I thought it might be a symptom of a bigger problem. -octo ___ 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

[hlds] [SourceMod] SteamIDs to 64bit integers
With the controversy going on where the SteamIDs were being changed around a lot, voogru brought up the point about converting your SteamIDs to 64bit integers. With some help from him, I've made a SourceMod extension which will allow you to do this with ease. It currently only works on OB mods (I tested on TF2, but it should work fine on any other one), so for those wishing for this to work for CS:S and any other EP1 mods, I'm sorry, but I'll try to get to you later. The extension is mainly for plugin developers (or those that know how to modify plugins), and is really simple to use. I've made native functions for basically all you can think of as for converting SteamIDs to and from 64bit integers. You can get the extension here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=86019 If you have any problems with the extension, please post them in the thread so that everything is in one place. I've included some more information in the thread (see the Notes section), so if you have any questions, check that out first before asking. Big thanks to voogru for the help and inspiration for this whole thing. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] TF2 bugs
I just experience a bug not too long ago while playing on my servers. Somehow a spy sapped my sentry and no matter how many times I hit my sentry, I couldn't get the sapper off. I managed to record a video of it happening with xfire so there's something to go by. http://www.xfire.com/video/55a1b/ (Sorry, no sound - forgot to enable it for xfire after reformatting) If you watch the video, you can see that my sentry acts like it doesn't have a sapper on it. The first few seconds of the video it's shooting at and kills a pyro. A few seconds after I die, the sentry is killed by the sapper, and the spy who put it on there was credited. The person who sapped my sentry isn't a hacker or wasn't aware of how he did the glitch (at least he acted like he didn't know how). A quick youtube search brought me up with these two videos also demonstrating the same glitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WFVdFR-N_g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KbYmK5BORk Saint K. wrote: Hi, We experience this issue every now and then aswell.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Available
I think it should be set to normal by default when you join a versus game through the lobby, and then you can vote to change. The vote should be displayed to all players, instead of just the four on the team that the vote was called from. Tom Richardson wrote: Hi - there were two issues Valve were seeking to address with this: 1. People starting versus games and being put into expert from the lobby when they wanted to play Normal. 2. People could call a vote to change difficulty but only 1 team (i.e. survivors or infected) would actually see the vote. Hence this could be exploited by the team, votechanging the difficulty to easy when they were humans, then expert when they were infected, and their opponents wouldn't even know they were doing it. Now in fairness, issue 1 could have been addressed by simply adding a difficulty filter from the lobby in the same way that co-op does, and issue 2 could have been fixed by removing the ability to votechange. My guess is that Valve have simply locked the difficulty as a quick fix while they work on better solutions. 2008/12/5 P1cwh0r3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] C-mon folks.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Available
To explain a bit more than Steve did, no. There was a glitch where turning cheats off would set some cvars to improper values (smoker tongue-miss to 15 seconds, spawn distance for zombies to greater than 10 meters, etc), and this patch fixed that (they now reset to their proper values). Turning cheats on, setting cvars, and then turning it off will only reset those values to their defaults. msleeper wrote: Wait, so does this mean I can do something like: -- autoexec.cfg -- sv_cheats 1 z_common_limit 200 z_health 300 other_cheat_commands_to make_zombies_stronger sv_cheats 0 -- eof -- And the changes will not be reversed when sv_cheats gets turned back off?

Re: [hlds] TF2: Players locking up
That almost looks like a generic connection problem. The in-packets being large seems to be justified by the choke spiking and then dropping over and over.

I'm pretty sure that unless a server is pure (without the proper whitelist) or enforces consistency that custom models and such are fine. Maps are different however; they're required to be the same.

If it's not the same, they'll be kicked with a message telling them that they're map differs from the server's.

There is a new cvar called sv_steamgroup, which takes the Steam group number (which is now visible on the group's administrative page). The server will still be part of matchmaking, but users that are in that group will be able to browse directly to it from the main menu. Also, if this value is set, there will be a button near the message of the day that allows users to go directly to that group's page. This allows them to join that group if they like, and then be able to browse back to it in the future. There is another convar in there called sv_steamgroup_exclusive, which isn't completely implemented yet. The goal if it will be to make a server only joinable by users within that group, but there are some edge cases where matchmaking could still potentially put users on there. People are welcome to play around with it for now, and we should have it fully implemented in the next few days or so. Hopefully this addresses some of the concerns server admins have brought up.

Re: [hlds] Setmaster no longer working and sv_search_key
Try sending a heartbeat after setting the key on your server. If it works the way I think it does it's that the master servers don't know that your server has the key set yet. I can only assume that's how the system works. Dustin Peacock wrote: Do you have sv_password in your server.cfg.

Re: [hlds] More players with no server.cfg
I'm pretty sure that reservations get dropped on map change. Just having it in the server.cfg wouldn't help you if a lobby host connected and then left. I believe they fixed that so that when that happens the reserved slots are timed out after a while. 1nsane wrote: Oh? But then once it's reserved the reservation lasts for negatives and it stays reserved even after people leave. That has been the case for me atleast.

Right. There's no GUI option for it currently. You have to type it into the client console. Tom Leighton wrote: You put it on your server, and then set it on your client in your console or whatever.

There is no way to join a server directly (as I doubt you are able to join a game in progress), rather you create a room in a server lobby and click 'Play' and you are then allocated a server to play on. Therefore, your server has no real configuration settings - those are decided by the players in the lobby system. You don't know which server you have been allocated until you are in game and see the MOTD. While this does deviate quite a lot from the usual server browser model; let's wait and give it a run through and then draw out some conclusions and provide feedback.

More details will be sent to the mailing lists when we have them. There are two things to keep in mind regarding running a Left 4 Dead server: 1) The CPU load for the Left 4 Dead server will be higher than you're used to for games like TF2. Left 4 Dead has a bunch of A.I. for the zombies, etc., that games like TF2 don't have. 2) Left 4 Dead uses a new matchmaking system we're developing. We'll be working with the server admin community to make sure the new system operates as smoothly as possible. More details on this later. -Eric ___ 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
Re: [hlds] L4D Beta Servers?
It all depends on how Valve decided to go with their server system. If they use SRCDS, we can put together something that will work.

Re: [hlds] TF2: Web Control used during MOTD
On client auth, have their steamid and ip shoved into a sql table. Then have the motd redirect to another page with user browsing's ip in the url (blah.com/motd?ip=255.255.255.255). Then it's just a simple case of grabbing the row from the sql table using their IP to get their steamid and then their stats/whatever you want.

I could write up some dynamic html and/or vbscript that could look up their current ranking in hlstatsx and have the MOTD say something like You are currently ranked XXX of players...

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Released
If you're not using the default balancing system, then there's nothing for Valve to fix. It was most likely something wrong with the plugin you're using.

[hlds] New Scam Website
There have been a few people from my community who have been hit by a new phising website meant to steal Steam accounts. I've received a few messages from random people with a link to the website, and a few messages from people on my friends list. I posted an announcement for my Steam group and on my forums, but I thought I should also post about it here. The current site that seems to be spreading around is this one: http://steamcommunity-news.co.cc/ Again, DO NOT LOG IN TO THAT SITE. I thought this would be the best way to spread awareness to the server admins and Valve.

Re: [hlds] New Scam Website
I just wanted to get word out there so people would be aware that sites like this still exist. This whole thing could easily be stopped if Valve made it so when you change the email your account is associated with, it would send a confirmation email to the original email. That way people could just use the password recovery system instead of having to go through Valve, just because the person who stole the account change the account's email.
