Agreed, would appreciate some clarity on if it's a scrub for the day.

That was re-released yesterday. Server ops (and users, for that matter)

think they simply mean that using the "casual" quickplay

you to a server with players of similar skill levels.

What I'm curious about is this:

1. How will this affect community servers - will people
still be
able to direct connect to their favorite server if that
server is
in the quickplay pool? (if not, I see this as the final
nail in
the coffin for community servers).

2. What about servers that host a mix of stock/custom

the system only "level up" players on stock maps...if 
so, this

will further reduce an already dwindling supply of custom
map servers.

backfill players, but the update page mentions nothing

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about:

QuickPlay is now going to use 12v12 lobbies and have

When the .vtf is loaded by the client it seems to cause a memory

I have provided a copy of the dmp files generated from the

Re: [hlds] Remote code execution bug

[wickedplayer494]

Pardon my French, but sorry, bitching about something that has 
absolutely jack shit to do with server issues won't get anything 
accomplished. Trying to attract attention with that subject line doesn't 
help matters either, it only makes you look like a fool.


Also, /*NEWSFLASH*/: the 75%/25% split has been the norm for all three 
of Valve's flagship titles ever since the inception of the Workshop. 
TF2, Dota 2, CS:GO. People that make items for one or more of those and 
manage to get them shipped are familiar this exact same split, and 
they're fine with it. It's nothing new to anyone that's even bothered 
with learning who takes what, and apparently, this split is breaking 
news and suddenly it's now unfair when nobody has really complained 
about it for a little short of half a decade (October 2011).


Take it to any of the complaint threads on /r/steam, /r/pcmasterrace, 
Gabe's emergency AMA thread in /r/gaming, or the equivalent other forum 
of your choosing. I'm not in full agreement with this stuff myself, but 
HLDS isn't the place to vent about these types of things.

Re: [hlds] Rethinking the community quickplay ban

[wickedplayer494]

I fully agree. I've seen some of my favorite servers drop like flies 
over the past few months (and by extension the last 2 years), and the 
assimilation of players into Valve-hosted servers is downright alarming. 
Having a Valve-dominated server ecosystem only makes sense for three 
things: Dota 2, CS:GO competitive matchmaking, and TF2 MvM Mann Up. It 
doesn't make sense for PvP.


Truth be told, people are somewhat right about the game dying, but 
only in some very, very specific components of the game, one of those 
being community-run servers. Here's an example: TrashedGamers' Chicago 
server. A few months ago, it would fill up every night with players. 
Now? You're lucky to find even 4 people playing on a good night. This is 
illustrated very well by the HLStatsX graphs for the server, found at 
http://stats.trashedgamers.org. Here's an image for people browsing 
very, very far into the future: http://i.imgur.com/u8FCWMJ.png


What happened to the days of picking a server yourself through the 
browser? Is it /really/ that hard for the community? I think at this 
point the only real solution is having to make people go through hoops 
to get to quickplay. All it has done is open a can of worms, which Valve 
has tried to clean up after (with the Policy of Truth memo long ago from 
Fletcher and other measures), but people were still trying to cheat the 
system, which forced the hand of Valve. Reducing its exposure would make 
it not worthwhile for people to keep trying to cheat the system. There 
should be a better emphasis placed on the server browser. To make it as 
usable, make scores visible in the browser, and let users decide for 
themselves (unless they go through those hoops to get to quickplay). 
That way people can pick a server that they believe looks good to them, 
instead of chancing that the server they get placed on looks good. While 
we're at it, add server grouping to the browser, so say if someone wants 
to view all the servers Organization A has, because they look better 
than Organization B, they can pop open all of A's servers instead of 
needing to scroll through all of B's servers, leaving them hidden. 
Similar named servers that aren't grouped together by the server 
operator would be given a score penalty.

To the TF2 team,

It has now been over a year since the decision to essentially ban 
community servers from quickplay by defaulting to official ones. Here 
are some facts of what has happened since then.


- Player gain dropped 4% from the year before.
- UGC highlander teams dropped 17%
- Highly reduced map variety from community servers.
- Even top non-quickplay servers have drastically fewer players than 
in 2013.


You may have guaranteed new players a vanilla experience, but this is 
ruining the experience for the rest.


Maybe nothing is being done because you do not see enough complaints 
about this from reddit or spuf. This is because the problem is obvious 
when someone connects to a pay to win server while it is not as 
obvious when a server is dying over the span of several months because 
official ones are getting all the new players.


Most of the people that I talked to even knew about this change so the 
thought about complaining about it never crossed their minds. But just 
because they never knew about it doesn't mean it wasn't a problem.


I hope you realize that this change is doing more harm than good. It 
may have stopped some complaints but this is hurting TF2 in the long run.

Re: [hlds] Optional TF2 dedicated server update released

If Valve wanted to do that, they'd just outright say yeah hey we're 
done with this game, see ya and/or shut off all their servers leaving 
only community ones running.

I would argue that it is related to third party dedicated servers.

The people left in charge of TF2 have been out of touch with
players for a while and only now is it becoming more obvious. We
face the brunt of these bad policies because we don't have a
stream of new mann co store fodder from quickplay. A few years ago
the thought of making a major patch locked behind an uncraftable
purchase would not even have crossed their minds.

Despite 3 major non-MvM patches, global player counts are again on
their way to declining back to beginning of the year levels. With
the amount of developer time spent on the game, TF2 should not be
1/5th the size of CS. I've seen many quality servers die out this
year. Custom servers are also dying because new players aren't
being exposed enough to the fact that custom servers exist.

[hlds] Warning: AlliedModders has discovered a data breach - immediately change your passwords

[wickedplayer494]

https://forums.alliedmods.net/announcement.php?f=130a=49

This week we discovered a data breach that affects all our registered users.

On June 7th we discovered some anomalous files on our webserver, and 
began investigating where they came from. From what we can tell, on 
March 16th, an administrator's account was accessed by an unidentified 
attacker. The attacker used an obscure feature in the forum control 
panel to upload arbitrary code to our webserver. Then, the attacker 
downloaded a portion of the forum database. The breached data contained 
three pieces of information:

* Account names
* E-mail addresses
* Hashed passwords
* Last login IP address

Unfortunately our forum software (vBulletin) used a password hashing 
scheme that is considered insecure by modern standards. We are therefore 
recommending that all our users change their passwords as soon as 
possible. If your AlliedModders password was used on other services, we 
recommend that you change your password on those services as well.


We do not believe the attacker compromised our systems in a way that 
would expose private messages, plaintext passwords, real names, or 
otherwise intercept private traffic. We also believe the March 16th 
incident was isolated in nature. Nonetheless, it is serious enough to 
warrant immediate action.


We are deeply apologetic for this incident - it's a black mark on what 
had been a perfect track record for over ten years. As a result we've 
attempted to identify and address each of the weaknesses that 
contributed to this attack. In particular:
* We have modified vBulletin to use more secure password hashing 
(bcrypt, instead of md5).

* We are now restricting the privileges of all administrator accounts.
* We have restricted vBulletin's file system privileges and added 
intrusion detection.


Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, 
please contact us atsecur...@alliedmods.net.

I don't actually see any announcement in TF2 update page about an
update.  But, my Steam client today said that it needed to
download and install a TF2 update.  So, I let that commence, and
went to check my TF2 servers.

On the server side, it looked like there was about ~100-MB of
stuff to download, but it errored-out.  Then, I noticed the
client-side update errored-out also.

I ran the update on the server-side again, and this time it said
Success! App '232250' already up to date. - as if there was no
longer any mystery ~100-MB update?  Thankfully, I didn't run this
against my production servers yet - just a test instance.

The client-side update keeps cycling between Updating and
Queued like repeatedly in a way I have not seen before.

I am hoping this is not a repeat of what happened to
Counter-Strike the other day - or anything remotely similar?

[hlds] Garry's Mod server admins: be alert to a Lua rcon exploit currently making the rounds

[wickedplayer494]

http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1386818

If your clients are complaining about *cough* spam or similar through

kill your server until the Facepunch folks release an update to fix this 
(even though it's 3 AM in the UK), as it's rumored that even if 
rcon/client uploads are disabled, it'll still work.

A quick look at the provided files (gist:

suggests that:
- Initial infection from client to server is in
client_init.lua, which
downloads server.cfg (looking for the RCON password to
continue the
exploit) and uploads engine_win32.dll
- Once the server runs the server_infect.lua code, it writes back
engine_win32.dll and does a SendLua to install client_init.lua

If you've firewalled off RCON (as you should have) then this
particular version of the exploit won't hurt you. However,
there is
definitely some sort of bypass for the net_file blacklist.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[wickedplayer494]

If you want to point fingers at anyone, point fingers at the owners of 
large server chains (ie Nighteam, saigns, WonkaGaming (are they even 
still around?), bets.tf, etc). Quickplay has probably been killing many 
other small servers as well before Valve introduced the official server 
option due to the fact that these chains literally crap out servers and 
smear it all over the planet.

We have been running Vanilla 24 player servers since the month after the

were helping to build the TF2 community. This should pretty much put an end
to new players finding their way to our servers and community.

Thanks Valve. Enjoy your cash.

We will be closing our community down at the end of this month.

Re: [hlds] l4d2 available via steamcmd?

[wickedplayer494 .]

There is no such thing as a TF2-specific mailing list. All three
hlds_announce, hlds, and hlds_linux mailing lists encompass DoD:S, HL2:DM,
CS:S, TF2, L4D2, *and* other games (such as TWI's Rising Storm). The only
L4D2-specific list would be L4Dmapper (see:
https://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/). It's pretty much all or
nothing.

Seeing as you're sending from a Gmail account, you're more than capable of
setting up a filter that auto-archives any messages but stuff relating to
TF2.

- Fixed r_depthoverlay ConVar not using the correct material
- Improved performance and stability for the Linux version

It is. See: http://www.teamfortress.com/linux/

Re: [hlds] Steam is suspending accounts without reason

I think you need to use *your* head. The Steam forums are the most popular
forums for Steam discussions, so any issues would pop up there almost
instantly or relatively fast. How delusional do you have to be (if you're
not trolling, which seems unlikely)? Were you dropped on your head as an
infant?

You and the WonkaGaming guy are the plague of this list. Either:

Re: [hlds] Serious new(?) TF2 bug involving infinite ubercharges of any type

[wickedplayer494 .]

BTW, Evan added me on Steam to discuss this. Not going to reveal too
much to avoid someone using the exploit with bad intentions.

He said that yes, the not sending usercmds part was right. But, as
some of you would remember, Valve fixed a bug where Medics could
infinitely uber themselves, but infinitely ubering someone else wasn't
fixed. Currently, the client handles the timing of ubercharges. They
end when powerplaytime  clientticktime. clientticktime is only
updated when the client sends a usercmd. No usercmds being sent means
infinite ubercharges.

Packet manipulation could be used, among other methods which I won't reveal.

 I was browsing /r/tf2 when I came across this video demonstrating
 infinite ubercharges of any type:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHUliYFjeQQ

 The video's a bit long, so for those that don't have the time or CBA
 to watch the whole thing, here's what I got from the video:

 The Medic that's deploying the charge stops sending user commands
 after the charge is deployed. The Medic can still use chat of both
 kinds (voice and text), taunt, and use the voice command menu. An
 external program can be used or packet flow to the server can be
 interrupted.

 All classes (but other Medics due to their passive health regen
 ability) can become infinitely charged, but some items will break the
 charge (such as the Equalizer/Escape Plan when used). Another Medic
 can break the charge just by healing you. Friendly payload carts and
 dispensers will also break the charge as well.

 There are two other scenarios in which the charge will break, but by
 now, you should get the picture.

 Just a head's up for server admins in case anyone figures out on their
 own how to do it exactly and a step-by-step guide is irresponsibly
 disclosed.

Re: [hlds] Optional Update?

[wickedplayer494 .]

All updates are mandatory (for clients, at least). The mandatory/optional
flag only applies to servers.

 Subject: [hlds] Optional Update?

 I just saw my TF2 client update and spotted these update notes on the
 TF2 blog:

 Updates to Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2:
 Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically
 when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

 - Source Engine Changes (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM)
 * Fixed a client crash in the sound emitter

 - Team Fortress 2
 * Fixed a dedicated server hang in bot pathfinding
 * Fixed the tf_zombie entity crashing some servers

 I assume that this is an optional update, since my server didn't
 auto-update.

 I find that I am able to use my Halloween weapons like Bat Outta Hell,

If it happens in just one specific spot, that'd be the intended effect as
the spot's ceiling is too low to successfully teleport a player, thus
auto-destroying the exit and any level upgrades associated with it.

But if it's happening everywhere on every map (not likely)...

waiting game though.

 Modbreaking updates tend to be the ones including new features, like the
 recent MvM update. So I doubt it breaks anything.

Re: [hlds] tf_mm_strict is very broken

[wickedplayer494 .]

Fletcher Dunn announced that an optional fix is coming to fix this. Good to
see Valve's responding fast.

 I can confirm this on my servers too.


 2012/8/18 Michael Tharp g...@partiallystapled.com

 This is for a pvp server, as of version 1.1.2.5:

 If tf_mm_servermode = 0, everything is fine

 If tf_mm_servermode = 1 AND tf_mm_strict = 0 or 2, connections from
 favorites are rejected with ad-hoc connections are not allowed

 If tf_mm_servermode = 1 AND tf_mm_strict = 1, connections from favorites
 work.

 So, to workaround you can either turn off mm, or (ironically) set strict
 to 1.

I imagine this is quite nightmarish for Valve. I don't believe tf_mm_strict

 What is tf_mm_strict, by the way? From what I read it is the same command.

 Counter-Strike: Source

 - Fixed a problem that allowed spoofed IP addresses to make connections to
 the game server

 - Added ConVars sv_rcon_maxpacketsize and sv_rcon_maxpacketbans to allow
 server admins to control the maximum RCON packet size and whether or not
 users get banned for exceeding that limit. The defaults reflect the
 existing behavior.

 - Fixed not being able to import custom spray images on Macs

 - Fixed Macs cancelling http map downloads that take longer than 30 seconds
 

 - Updated the HTML renderer for displaying server MOTD

 I had to apply the optional update to our dedicated servers as weird

 For example, different random sounds would play for the players on
 the server when the spawn door would open etc. The issues did not
 occur when I started a listen server from in-game.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[wickedplayer494 .]

Steam JUST died (is back up now), but people are still going crazy because
the item server is still having issues.

 Our servers have been rebooted multiple times, but load-outs (and trading)
 are borked for my community.is valve still doing something?  Rebooting
 the servers hasn't restored connection, so as a server owner, what can I do
 other than wait?  Anything?

 Thanks
 for the idea.

 and I just run a master update, diff that, and apply it to all of my
 servers. even when we were running 15 servers, i only had to do the
 download once.

 Eventually, I'll see if it's faster if I just drive the 15 miles to the
 valve offices. :-)

Re: [hlds] Policy of Truth??

[wickedplayer494 .]

No wonder so many people have your servers on their blacklists...

Either way guys, don't bother replying. Just leave them in a corner, and
Valve will deal with them as seen fit to them.

Re: [hlds] Day of Defeat: Source low textures + cl_ragdoll_physics_enable bug

[wickedplayer494 .]

strass, your issue is unrelated to what we're talking about. Except for the
occasional end-user's input (me included), the list is meant for issues
with servers.

Your best bet is to Google what's happening and post elsewhere other than
HLDS.

  Well, most people have no idea about servers. But we're discussing about
 the valves mailing list so let me say: i don't care about what most people
 do.
 Whatever, the low textures are available in the menu and are still bugged.
 I thought both shouldn't be that hard to fix - last but not least just the
 developers can decide if they fix this.

 There's lots of things that people change without it being in Valve's menu
 system, because to the non-advanced user they might not make much sense
 (you could make the same argument for a bugged cl_showfps, as there's no
 show FPS counter in the menu).

 No offense but alot of people seem to forget that regular players
 aren't supposed to set set cl_ragdoll_physics_enable to 0 - else valve
 would've added a 'Disable dead bodies' option to their menus, right? I
 know i sound kind of angry - sorry for that, i'm just trying to get a
 point across really :(

 2012/4/29 spendenanmich spendenanm...@web.de:
   Bullet holes are red on wooden textures if using low textures.
 
  Also there is a bug if using cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0. Dead bodies
 will
  spawn in random position then.

Re: [hlds] Someones taking my server down

[wickedplayer494 .]

For the (D)DoS'ing, get a hold of your host and tell them the situation.
Also make sure to contact the abuse department of the ISP he's using.

For the crit hacking, I believe SourceMod Anti-Cheat has a module for that.

 Is managing to take my server down somehow, hes done it twice now
 therefore killing the server and losing players. He did it last night and
 now tonight, hes banned but is still managing to flood it or something,
 changing the port of the server seems to work but I don't want to do that
 seeing as people have it favourited and as soon as he finds out the new ip
 he'll go for that. Anyone else had this and know a fix? He's also been crit
 hacking too.

 Thanks.
