Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
This isn't the Xmas update so perhaps in a few weeks they can make amends by releasing the map anyway? Personally I'd like to see a map that is geared towards 32player counts and faster re-spawn. At this point in the game's history I don't see why not considering the power modern computers/servers have now to run the extra weight. I refuse to play on any server that doesn't have fast re-spawn as I don't wish to waste my small amount of playing time sitting in spawn watching others play while I wait to get back into the action. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2014 4:21 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released I too am disappointed with this update, so much that I'll most probably be spending my money on some other games this month.

Re: [hlds_linux] Recommendation for TF2, DoD:S, etc server content downloading
Over writing the map with the same name as Valve does it really shouldn't make no difference. You are going to upload another map regardless another file be it named _v1 or _v2 or whatever. You are still uploading content customized from the server to the clients. The idea here is if I have a customized map made by me named My_Tf2_Map then I should be able to alter the map no matter when and upload the exact same name and have it over write the original to clients that revisit my servers. This should be allowed vs me having to use extensions to the name like My_Tf2_Map_v1 or My_Tf2_Map_v2 to continue on like that is just counter productive. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2014 11:05 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Recommendation for TF2, DoD:S, etc server content downloading I really don't think what you are doing is something that you should be doing.

If you've missed out on previous Team Fortress Halloweens, or are new to TF2 in general, this is a perfect time to catch up. You direct people to Quickplay yet again this defaults directly to Valve servers first! How about - Hop into multiplayer and search the server browser instead? Also while on the subject is there a particular reason why I have players screaming at me about drop rates for spells and such?

HLSW is good for mostly quick and simple management. I've tried to contact their dev's a few times but no luck on any type of reply from any form of contact.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
It would be nice to see Valve decrease the amount of Valve servers - perhaps one of those guys will chime in here and let us know the current amount and if they plan on decreasing any. A little help from Valve to push players to Community servers would be nice. Issue is the constant complains and bickering on SPUF when it comes to any change in this regard. They just don't understand if it wasn't for the Community you wouldn't have a now 6 year old game as popular as it still is. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Alexander Corn Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 1:32 AM To: Paul Lewis; Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2 The Quickplay change was supposed to be a temporary measure, but it's not looking very temporary while Valve servers suck up about 45% of traffic.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
Pushing USA players to EU is a problem on its own that can be dealt with. You can make servers better but at the end of the day if Valve makes it difficult for people to find them then there is no point. Options are auto checked for Valve servers, I have a Vanilla Asteroid server up and it hardly ever gets touched when you have Valve Asteroid servers that are slammed full. This Asteroid server I have is better than a Valve server of equal location and managed better. Nope - they need less Valve servers, lets push traffic to the Community - the same community that is keeping the game alive. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of dan Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 10:30 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2 On 27/08/2014 15:14, Frank wrote: It would be nice to see Valve decrease the amount of Valve servers No it wouldn't.

(Im not saying that all old servers are bad and all new servers are good) New players don`t even know how to search a nice server, they are not familiar with that. They are just using default quickplay settings.

Re: [hlds_linux] String table overflow and other errors
Yep I reported this to the list yesterday I think. The error isn't so much as crashing servers but its causing them to basically crash clients and then sometimes the server won't allow players to enter and will give this error unless map is reset. This should be an easy fix since its already an issue that was addressed, I hope its patched today rather than have it spoil the whole weekend. Also what is going on with the Item server?

Re: [hlds_linux] Important changes to TF2 coming soon
I agree here, the official servers box needs to be UNCHECKED by default not the other way around. This needs to take effect with the update tomorrow to go ahead and fix this problem as so many have expressed over the last week. This wasn't even mentioned by Fletch in the recent mails tonight or from anyone at Valve over the course of this past week and the countless mails sent thru this mailing list from the majority of owners not happy about it. The data shows it causes issues when left checked by default - just uncheck it and let people decide after the fact. ___ If the default official servers box isn't going to be removed, community servers will still be cut off from the majority of new players, whether they qualify or not.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay
I agree with this 100% - WHY?? Having this to start with is a community killer then you tack on having it checked by default. I don't think Valve understands that without the support of communities the player counts for games like TF2 will start to diminish much faster, faster than they can produce more pointless additions to the game.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay
Unchecking the box by default is the only option aside from remove this added feature. Type up a bunch of a response all you want but my first reply to this is just that - it needs to go. Ohh chocolate cake tastes good and I just made one while running my servers :) _ I just joined a valve server with quickplay and 'official servers' checked to play 2fort. The experience of joining is pretty good. Fast and I got a server with a low ping that played well. All I can say to the folks here is though, if you can't compete with a Valve server, switch off your servers and bake cakes to sell because you're in the wrong game. It was a complete farce. Barely anyone knew how to cap, where to cap, or what the objectives were. Neither team had any defence, certainly no engineers. I was told what I was doing was impossible (i.e shooting nades at people and hitting them) So, relax. No one who sits facing the shiny side of their monitor will be playing on Valve servers via quickplay for any length of time because the servers are swamped with the confused and bewildered. You can (as I have in the past) jump from valve server to valve server and find a decent round, but you'd spend all day doing that with the quickplay button joining random servers. Who knows, perhaps the official checkbox will mix up the player base and change that, but right now that doesn't appear to be the case. -- Dan ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Fletcher - I'm Calling you Out On This (Enough is Enough)
Valve created steam groups, ways for people to join communities and many many people take advantage of this to be a part of something. This act of being a part of something adds depth to the game and that is what communities have to offer. This change Valve did needs to go - period.

Re: [hlds_linux] Map structure/Building Cube maps
Tried this on two different PC's of my own and another tried it still not working. Now I did test against a few older style maps and they built just fine. The issue appears to resolve around the map then. Would be some causes as to why they won't write to the BSP and last is where to find them when they are written by TF2 as where the cubemap data is stored till the write is done?

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Every year is the same thing, we spend 2-3 days if not longer thru several updates to fix issues from this and other large updates like it. Never in the last few years have they ever extended the event just for this although I agree I believe they should. Issue I have with just even asking is the event itself was delayed way too long and too close to Halloween (which is now gone). The Xmas update IMO should be released no later than the 2nd week of December to at least give the holiday feel as with most of us we can't wait for the 25th to come and go - at least that is how I feel, too much holiday food will kill anyone. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Bruno Garcia Sent: Friday, November 01, 2013 10:04 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released Eric, Due to issues with the server and client binaries these past two days: shouldn't the Halloween event be extended for 2 or 3 more days to compensate the users?

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Family Sharing Ban Bypass.
Been trying to follow this discussion, sounds interesting no matter what comes however I know myself and the other server owners are really wanting to know of the impending ETA of the Halloween 2013 Event? Year after year we have to spend the next 24hours trying to adjust and fix things that get broken by this update so a little information for an ETA would be helpful and would certainly make all of SPUF happy in the process. I've seen suggestions tossed around to keep this game going strong into the next few years but the biggest suggestion of them all was to add a new character to the game. Not only would this spur a major creation of new maps to revolve around it but the items and functions of not only that new character but the others would be wide open for additions. This in turn keeps a major source of funding to Valve from the store purchases but also the player base which is still very strong happy for a few more years. That last paragraph I figured I'd toss in from what I've been reading around but the main question remains: Possible ETA of the Halloween 2013 Event please?

In case anyone is following this, there's a WebAPI update planned for next week which allows for getting the owner's account from a lender id. There's also a Steamworks update planned for between yesterday and (?), which adds the owner's id to the ticket verification result (ValidateAuthTicketResponse_t). However, this is too late for servers to get the owner's id. SourceMod at the moment supports checking if they're verified (by not handing out admin before IsClientFullyAuthenticated happens). However, this happens far too late in the process (30 seconds typically to a couple minutes, to never if Steam is down), subsequently most servers (to my knowledge) have the feature disabled (or at least want it disabled; from the threads I've seen). After the Steamworks update happens, I believe we need the owner's accountid passed to the server at the same time as the actual rendered SteamID (how it is at the moment, sent from the client at connection time). This should allow for the same verification result as IsClientFullyAuthenticated, and pre-usage that most of the engine does. This should continue to allow for immediate usage, which is what is used now. A public engine function would be appreciated to get the owner's account id (or rendered SteamID, as to conform with everything else). Unless if I'm neglecting something major, this should resolve the exploit for everyone as clients are updated to support sending the supposed ownerid.

Re: [hlds_linux] Add something to the game so that server ops can ban HWID too.
I would love to see Valve finally step up after all these years and let you assign an IP#/port directly to a domain and change it with it to carry over upon a needed change.

Well there is this and another issue I reported on here about the trade server and its system. I get many complaints and have seen this before but it's nothing I can control. When you've completed a trade and you have another trader sending one you used to be able to pick it right up without viewing the items but if you press let's say K to accept the incoming trade after the previous it pushes the items in your face you received first so you have to close this and accept the other incoming trade. I hated to ramble on in that sentence but I really do not know how else to explain it but this changed within the last few months after another update but I have no idea how to control it client side or server side.

[hlds_linux] Server or Item server issue?
I have users reporting and I've seen this myself that when they obtain an item from a trade the information isn't instantly displayed on the screens. Also it seems that unless the user is pressing the default or selected button to display the traded item and a follow up trade request is being sent that the item is then displayed on the screen to all when they select to trade with the other person. This sounds rather stupid and I feel stupid for asking (is hard to explain) since I'm sure it's an issue or something changed with the item server but I could be wrong and this could be something that is sending/receiving information from the server itself to the item server upon connection to steam. Can someone either verify they have seen this or explain it better so Valve can look into it?

Re: [hlds_linux] More reliable support for server IP changes
This X1000 - I just changed IP#'s of two of my servers and the player count has dropped by 70% and is slowly going back up cause its taking players a while to find the change. I had no choice but to change the IP#'s or location of those two servers but now its hurting and its time Valve done something with regards to having it save in the server browser. Instead of taking things away like the MOTD changes that so many if not the majority of server owners are against how about adding something like this to help us. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Ruben Lopes Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2013 5:27 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] More reliable support for server IP changes I would like to leave my opinion here for Valve to consider.Probably all of us server admins know the frustration with having to change our servers IP's either because of a migration, changing from a unreliable hosting, datacenter change, etc...We also know that even though we can connect and add a hostname to favorites ir doesn't update if the IP changes (at least the last time I checked) and it should, for the obvious reasons mentioned above. So that change I think it's been overdue and I can see no good reason for it not being like that since day one. That way, players who connect through the hostname wouldn't even notice that the IP changed. But even with that, the people who added Current server to favorites only added the current IP of the server. So, even better than that would be to have a aditional server id system that could be used to keep track of servers, so that a specific serverID would always point to the server IP:Port of the server that has that specific tf_server_identity_account_id in the config. Then, players could connect to that serverID that would also be automatically be updated in the favorites if the IP:Port changed. With that, when a server has to change IP, no player would lose track of that great server that mysteriously disapeared from their favorites and server administrators wouldn't have to flood every of their players that they can reach telling that the IP of their server(s) changed while seeing that effort in vain while losing part of the players that never came back.I've been through that, and other probably have too. So this would be a favorable update for everyone. Hope I can see something done about this soon. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
They clearly listened to SPUF and all its crying over having to watch a few seconds of ads to support well managed servers they enjoyed playing. I'm surprised a few comments didn't include most of them thinking money grows on trees or falls from the sky like rain drops. A lesson in simple economics I think is needed to teach most of those kids the facts of life and the understanding that running these servers are NOT free and the money has to come from some place. As for uses well that's collateral damage to Valve whom again obviously only listened to the crying that went on within SPUF. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Bjorn Wielens Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 7:39 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released I agree the implemented solution is not acceptable when there are better alternatives.

We also have a plugin that displays this panel to players when admins issue them warnings or timeouts for rule violations. 3. Donate information panel. Also accessed only on request (!donate or something like that) 4.Radio (but not relevant since it's donators only). I think if a confirmation dialog is implemented, it should also have an option for a short text string that lets the user see WHY the server wants to display a MOTD to them. e.g. This server is trying to show you a MOTD for: Server Rules or This server is trying to show you a MOTD for: Sourcetunes Radio.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
I enjoy running TF2 servers, I have a decent job to support them but me putting some ads on them so you only view when you join (this is how I had them setup) then why should that shame on me for trying to at least recover the costs of running them. I'm not talking about a profit, I'm lucky to break even every month. I can be trusted just fine to run well managed and fast servers for players to play on FREE, them viewing an ad one time when they join for a few seconds isn't going to hurt nobody and is no different than television companies do with the ads. If you wish to have tags in place then fine but tags shouldn't disqualify my servers from getting traffic be it browser or quickplay as someone else already put it most kids are too stupid to know how the server browser works so you have to depend on quickplay/match making to get traffic to your servers.

This change will impact server operators in at least two significant ways: * You will use steamcmd instead of the HLDSUpdateTool to install/update the server. * The conversion will entail significant changes to the way the files appear in the local filesystem on the server and client. The client no longer uses GCF files. Instead, most assets are packed up into VPK, and those VPKs are the same on the server and the client. The server no longer uses 1000's of loose files. We're using the TF beta to test these changes and identify the bugs, and give everybody a chance to make sure their favorite mod or plugin will work in the new system. Everybody is encouraged to download the TF beta! We've prepared an FAQ that discusses the details of the change and answers the questions we anticipate: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491 Please report gameserver related bugs in this mailing list.

I'm sorry if someone has already asked but what in the world is going on now that we are getting Invalid STEAM userID ticket crashes - I lost a full server tonight ALL AT ONCE! BAM! All gone cause of same error... this didn't start till yesterday's update came out. So going to say it now... we need to stop bringing in new things till the bugs are addressed! Last year was very unacceptable when it came to the Halloween update - the game was unplayable for nearly a month due to the crashes. While I'm like everyone else that enjoys a good addition of items to keep the game alive I think it's best if the bugs we currently have is fixed prior to this year's event update - then please be on the ball thru each day including weekends to solve any bugs ( we know we will get them) that are released in the event update. So with saying that - the better date to release this year's event would be this coming Monday or Tuesday, no later to avoid issues spilling over into the weekend which is prime playing time for many players considering schools are back in and people work during the regular week. A heads up of when exactly it will be released would be very nice so those of us that run multiple servers can be ready for it perhaps even take time off to prepare. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
