Re: [hlds] Policy of Truth??
I think you guys are possibly focusing too much on the OP. I had a discussion a few days ago with an admin from a different very large community about this topic. I do not believe that this is specific to Wonka Gaming. My interpretation of these events is that: because the Policy of Truth is not being enforced, because servers are continuing to use this fake client program, and because of the unfairness with QuickPlay, many communities are collaborating to release this plugin in an attempt to force VALVe into action. Is this really the best course of action? I don't know. It does seem that the above factors have polarized the community and forced some operators into using extremely dirty tactics to compete for traffic. Also for the record, I do not and have never used this program or anything else that VALVe would frown upon.

The check is only made on initial connection to the server. Once on the server it does not give anyone power to kick anyone else. If while on the server, you discover people you never wish to play with again: you block them, then you are free to leave the server right then or endure them until you leave and find another server that does not contain people you have blocked. ** ** If the server sets sv_steamblockingcheck = 2 then only members of the clan that “owns” the server may prevent people from playing on that server. Yes this is currently limited to checking the block lists of clan members who are on that server, we will look at improving that in the future. Clearly it is best to use this feature with a non-public group, using it with a public group would be silly. This can be improved by ignoring a blocking relationship between two members of the group. ** ** If the server sets sv_steamblockingcheck = 4 then that stops a new player from joining a server if one of the people already on that server is blocked by the new player. The players already on that server will be totally unaffected. This is to prevent a new player from ever being matchmade onto a server with people they have blocked – in case of a race condition in the matchmaking. ** ** Lastly, this is primarily intended to be used on servers that have minimal administration / running no admin mods. Servers that are heavily administered already may not need to use this system at all. The sv_steamblockingcheck = 1 functionality is provided so that it can be used in conjunction with existing mods for servers that want to allow the general population to coexist with the servers preferred clients. If your server has some list of preferred clients, you can make them immune from blocking and still allow the general population to block each other – and allow your preferred clients to block who they like. ** ** Please feel free to continue sending constructive feedback. ** ** ** ** *From:* hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] *On Behalf Of *Rich Kaethler *Sent:* Thursday, March 15, 2012 5:19 PM *To:* 'hlds@list.valvesoftware.com' *Subject:* [hlds] New feature in TF2 Beta dedicated server update ** ** We have added support for Steam community blocking in the dedicated server. This functionality is in testing and is controlled by convar ( off by default ). If the convar is enabled, every new player at connect time ( once authenticated ) will be tested against the block list of every player already authenticated on the server. If any of the players on the server have blocked this player, the dedicated server is notified, and that new player may be kicked from the server depending on the convar settings. It is assumed that the most popular setting will take advantage of steam groups. To do this, use the new “sv_steamgroup” convar to set the group that your server belongs to, and set “sv_steamblockingcheck” to 2. With this setting only members of the group that “owns” the server may deny other players access to the server.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Server

I feel that the best way to create a server.cfg file would be to examine that current list of variables and decide how you would like to configure your server. To get a list of current cvars and their default value, type the following into the console: cvarlist log cvarlist.txt This will create a file named cvarlist.txt in your server directory containing all available options.

[hlds] Poll: Server Name
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to run a quick poll of server admins regarding server names, feel free to ignore this. Would it be disrespectful or otherwise be in bad taste to name a trading server World Trade Center? I noticed one that has this name I after expressing my concerns to their admins, they got their panties in a bunch. I'm curious as to what others think.

Re: [hlds] Poll: Server Name
Do you really want to drag this onto the Valve Developer list? I don't because unlike you, I actually respect Valve and the TF2 community. You can try to sit there high and mighty on your ignorant thrown of blind followers, Steam cracked servers, and general arrogance. I don't have to say or do anything more because everyday more and more members of the community notice you stealing their work and claiming it as your own, along with your pathetic existence. I'm leaving, all I wanted to do was ask a serious poll and as you noticed, I didn't name names. For everyone else on this list, sorry you had to witness this. Since TF2 is getting to be incredibly boring and my servers are going offline in a couple of days as a result, I am unsubscribing from this list. Before I go, I want to give a special shout out to Mana with the Lotus Clan. You have seriously been a good friend and really helped me along the way with hosting popular TF2 servers for the last 2 years. I'd like to give another shout out to Voogru. Although I don't know you personally I really appreciate everything you have provided to the TF2 community and your dodge ball servers are really fun. ¡ciao!

Re: [hlds] Massive TF2 server cpu hike caused by 2010-07-20 update / -threads results part 1
Have you been able to complete your analysis with this Steven? I have had my GSP add -threads 1 to the command start up line and things seem to be weird. Since adding this I have noticed that my server fps (according to net graph 4) is always at 30. Previous to this command my server fps would fluctuate wildly between 64 and 512. Before this TF2 update my fps would fluctuate between 400 512 but never ever drop below 400. Since I dont host my own server (due to lack of upload bandwidth) I cant be certain if this is an issue with my GSP or with the game itself. It seemed to coincide with everyone else having issues.

I use a GSP and do not have my own dedicated server, but I too seem to be affected by this. My servers are running really bad and I have noticed my server fps fluctuating wildly between 512 and 64.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Available
So this warning is displayed with any server that has more than 24 slots? On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 7:04 PM, Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald voo...@voogru.com wrote: Added a warning dialog that pops up to warn players joining games with more than the recommended number of players. 1. The server shows the max player count next to the number of players currently on the server. 2. The servers usually keep the increased_maxplayers tag when they have more than 24 players on the server. Players know how many players can be on the server when joining, they don't need yet another warning. The only thing that this may encourage is some malicious server ops to do the exact opposite of what they are doing now, show their servers as 23/24 when in fact they are 32/33. The warning would be far more useful if it warned about impossible servers, such as 34/36 etc servers, because those are actually somewhat malicious. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of DontWannaName!
