Re: [hlds] Quickplay settings for TF2 Halloween
Couple questions: 1. Still no way to check the status of quickplay on a server? I've been asking everyone who shows up, but they are all coming from server browser. Quick checklist: Copied halloween mapcycle, set eventmix tag (sv_tags are now _registered, cp, alltalk, eventmix), have tf_mm_servermode 1 in my server.cfg. 2. Is there a minimum of players to start the event? (I think 10 last year to spawn Monoculus, gifts, etc) 3. Will halloween related drops like cursed objects be subject to the weekly drop limit like normal items or will I continue to get Halloween items if I marathon some tf2 this week? Thanks!

Re: [hlds] Quickplay settings for TF2 Halloween
Start your server with koth_lakeside_event and i would recommend event247 instead of mix. A lot of people go for the new map, not the cycle of the old. Server is much harder (if you have new server) to setup with eventmix. If you have login setup and server seems to log in according to console (SUCCESS) and configs are ok, you are in the quickplay. They seem to be ok, only i don't know if you are properly setup the login. Like this: tf_server_identity_account_id numbershere tf_server_identity_token somerandompasswordheregivenbysteam 2. Don't know about minimum but i assume atleast 8. 3. I dont think there is a limit. Unless it's came in with personal gift box drops. Might as well be limited. Who knows!

Hello! Here are some details for how to configure your server to receive quickplay traffic. First, the general requirements and scoring systems have not changed. (Your server must have an account and advertise the _registered tag, will be penalized or excluded for certain rule changes, etc). Details are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513 This year the quickplay UI will offer players two choices for Halloween: 1.) Halloween 2012. Servers exclusively running the new map 24/7. 2.) Halloween mix. Servers running a mix of all the Halloween maps. At any given time, your server can only be in one pool or the other. Valve will be running servers in both pools. Your server will be placed in pool #1 if: * You advertise the tag event247; and * You are running the new map koth_lakeside_event. Your server will be placed in pool #2 if: * You advertise the tag eventmix; and * You are running one of the four Halloween maps. The eligible Halloween maps are: koth_harvest_event cp_manor_event koth_viaduct_event koth_lakeside_event If you don't set one of the two tags, you won't get any quickplay traffic! Also, I'd like to mention a new convar that has been added, mp_mapcycle_empty_timeout_seconds, which will cause your server to cycle the map if it has been empty for a certain period of time. - Fletch ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

The update I am willing to bet will be released at 13:73 O'clock Valve time... Otherwise I would anticipate the normal between 4-8pm central.

This is really a kick in the balls...*sigh* Ah well, all those people who are gonna say it: At least valve is still updating the game or You should just play vanilla anyways or insert any other non-helpful comments here.

Re: [hlds] Quickplay settings for TF2 Halloween
The delayed release is indeed grim news for us european server owners. But my main concern is that Valve release an update again late on a Friday (their time) and then scuttle off for the weekend leaving us with the carnage, stress and drama of the bugs and crashes that we all experienced during the MVM update. I honestly hoped that at the very least Valve had learnt their lesson that dreaded weekend, but now I think about it, it was us, the server operators, that suffered all weekend, not them, so why would they even consider it.

Here are some details for how to configure your server to receive quickplay traffic. First, the general requirements and scoring systems have not changed.

Details are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513 This year the quickplay UI will offer players two choices for Halloween: 1.) Halloween 2012. Servers exclusively running the new map 24/7. 2.) Halloween mix. Servers running a mix of all the Halloween maps. At any given time, your server can only be in one pool or the other.

For example I have a payload server, obviously doesn't use koth or cp maps and won't be using those particular maps. I will be disqualified from quickplay for my payload server if I don't use the new tags or the new maps?
