[hlds] Problem with Item Drops
Hey, I run a popular chain of servers in the UK, Recently some community members have reported that they are not receiving items as often they should, or not getting them at all while on our servers(All our servers run of the same IP). To do a very crude test I setup a Private idle server for a night and invited 10 people to sit in it overnight, after the night was over I asked every player if they had received anything, none of them had. - This idle server was setup in the exact same way as all our other servers using the same global config. (Servers run off a Forked TF2 installation) So, my question is: Is there anything that can reduce the drop rate on servers or completely stop drops? For anyone curious the IP is 81.19.212.48 Cheers in advance, Geit _ Send us your Hotmail stories and be featured in our newsletter http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

iv found that if respawn times are too short it can cause problems On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 7:34 PM, Rory King rory_k...@hotmail.co.uk wrote: Hey, I run a popular chain of servers in the UK, Recently some community members have reported that they are not receiving items as often they should, or not getting them at all while on our servers(All our servers run of the same IP).

Re: [hlds] Problem with Item Drops
I run a pure vanilla server and I have also noticed a VERY low drop rate compared to other idle servers as well. Not sure what to do to fix it, but I can assure you, respawn times are stock.

He said this occurs on regular servers. He was only testing it on an idle server.

Re: [hlds] Problem with Item Drops
That is possible. When I idle on my server, I'm still new enough on this IP to not have attracted a large crowd yet.

Re: [hlds] Problem with Item Drops
I have had SourceMod plugins cause this issue for me in the past. Since there have been a couple of server updates recently, perhaps these updates may have broken one of your plugins. If this is happening on all of your servers, I would suggest making a list of the common plugins used on all servers (some of your servers may have plugins that your other servers do not have and should be weeded out). You might then want to visit the AlliedMods pages for those plugins to see if others are reporting the same thing, and/or disable these one by one and testing to try to find one that might be causing this. Good Luck!
