Re: [hlds_linux] Multiple SRCDS Instances don't list on Steam's Server Browser

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] HLSW Alternatives
If you only have access to your srcds servers through rcon but you do run a Linux box yourself you could compile this simple C code: http://www.dopefish.de/files/rcon.c As stated at the top it could be modified to work on Windows as well and maybe someone has already done this.

Re: [hlds_linux] Workaround for linux problems running multiple servers on the same IP
Yes there are indeed 3 variables that you can set which control the ports your srcds instance uses. 1. +hostport (default 27015) opens both a TCP and a UDP port 2. +clientport (default 27005) opens a UDP port 3. -steamport (I guess the default is 26900) opens a UDP port on the number +1 for some reason there's also the -port command line option which controls (and I believe overrules, but I've never tested that) the same port as +hostport does.

The answer to this is simple. Official MvM mode where you get those prizes, aka Mann-Up, still makes Valve money with the sale of tickets and surplus vouchers, where as community servers or even their own quickplay servers don't really since you can buy your hats and other items for MvM as well as the 'normal' game. As for the rest of the discussion, I would argue that Valve has chosen to dumb down the whole TF2 experience for new and existing players to a one-button solution and this is just the latest step towards that goal (maybe even the last). From that you could conclude that they don't give a damn about communities anymore, I don't really have an opinion about that. Fact is that they now have more control over the player experience, which seems to be what they want so I doubt they'll revert this change. -- Idleness is not doing nothing.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Recurring player clip issue on Windows TF2 servers?
I have actually encountered this myself as a player, although it might be a slightly different issue. I've had it happen a few times on my own server, which runs on Linux (hence the crosspost) and isn't symlinked or runs any mods. It's a single installation, completely vanilla. I haven't made an effort to do a bugreport through the game client yet. The symptoms I'm experiencing are that when I spawn I'm clipping through the floor of the map, resulting in a view as if I've sunken through the ground to the waist. I can play normally, only the vision is screwed up. Other players don't notice anything unusual about my avatar. The issue resolves itself when I get killed and respawn, or sometimes after I've been alive for a long time. I couldn't say on which maps it has occured, but at least on pl_goldrush.

This resulted in no problems at all on some maps (ctf_turbine) but caused the bizarre players-falling-through-solid-objects problem on mvm_coaltown and certain payload maps.

Re: [hlds_linux] [Feature Request] [TF2] User-initiated join to Steam community group associated with a server.
The sv_steamgroup convar already exists in TF2, so you can already associate a server with a Steam community group. All you need now is a way for people to easily join this group if it's a public one, for example when they leave the server after playing on it for a while. Much like how you're now asked if you want to add the server you've been playing on to your favorites when you leave, the TF2 client could pop up a second dialog when you leave a server associated with a public Steam group asking them would you like to join Steam community so and so. Hopefully with an opt-out option that can be set in the Advanced options.

What I am suggesting is that they build into the game a way to (optionally) associated a group with a server, and give the player the option to initiating that - without having to look-up/find that group, etc. That way the player initiates it, AND Valve-developed code controls the whole process - without 3rd-party hacks, 3rd-party web-sites, 3rd-party services, etc. I think it would be more secure that way, and also not result in extra Join my group invite spam (since it's player-initiated).

I think the point is that the steamcmd command line tool isn't very intuitive to use. As you say, content providers use it too to manage their games on steam, and I can't imagine that they have any less difficulties with it than some of us have had. That said, once you make a few scriptfiles and call them instead of using steamcmd interactively it isn't that bad. But tabcompletion of commands would be very welcome, for example.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
First of all my appoligies for the snarky comment at the end, that was uncalled for. Then I also seemed to have made my point poorly. It wasn't my intention to move the goalpost, I just wanted to point out that some options in TF2 are more easily configured than others. The options that can be set through the menus don't really give anyone an unfair advantage in my opinion, since any idiot can set them. But changing cvars through scripts does give some (minor) advantage to a smaller group of players and more importantly (because that's what started this whole discussion in the first place) can be used to sort of cheat. Anyway, the point is moot now, since I just read the latest release notes for TF2: - Updated the network interpolation and update convars so they can be changed when dead. So it seems you got what you wanted and for the record, I too think this is a more elegant solution than the quick fix Valve rolled out earlier. Kudos to Valve for changing this so quickly.

You have to start with at least sv_pure 1 at start, then you can change it to whatever you want at runtime. I still think sv_pure 1 should be the default at startup, it seems it's sv_pure 0 now.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mapcycle Bug and/or misuse
Hi Lucas, I actually find that very interesting. Currently all my config files for my TF2 server are in DOS format, even though I'm running on Linux servers. This seems to have been the desired format for as long as I can remember, when I first started running TF2 servers srcds wouldn't read my config files with unix line endings properly (or something, this was so long ago I can't really remember what the issue was back then). In my current server setup I'm still using DOS textfiles as mapcycle- and configfiles, and they seem to be working correctly.

Re: [hlds_linux] Help anyone,
I would recommend running steamcommand with ./steamcmd.sh +runscript somescript where somescript is a simple textfile with the commands you want to execute line by line. Then I would advice you to use an absolute path in that script, like /home/hlds/gearbox/ or whatever.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] MvM Mission Cycle Clarification
With the steampipe update for Team Fortress 2 just around the corner, I would like to ask where our custom MvM mission cycle files should be located in the new directory tree. I can't find the default tf_mvm_missioncycle.res anymore which I hoped to use as a reference, I assume it's been packed in one of the VPK files. Since the mapcycle and motd files have been moved in this update, I was wondering if the same was the case for our custom MvM mission cycle files. On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 7:34 PM, Mike Lee mi...@valvesoftware.com wrote: First we have a Con Command that will let you specify your own mission cycle file tf_mvm_missioncyclefile myfile.res where the default .res file is tf_mvm_missioncycle.res that is located in the tf directory.

For how a mission cycle file works Example contents of missioncycle.res file - tf_mvm_missioncycle.res { categories 2 1 { count 3 1 { map mvm_decoy popfile mvm_decoy } 2 { map mvm_coaltown popfile mvm_coaltown } 3 { map mvm_mannworks popfile mvm_mannworks } } 2 { count 3 1 { map mvm_decoy popfile mvm_decoy_expert1 } 2 { map mvm_coaltown popfile mvm_coaltown_expert1 } 3 { map mvm_mannworks popfile mvm_mannworks_expert1 } } } - format of the file: file name - Name of the res file { categories Number - Number of Categories, by default this corresponds to the number of difficulties Category Index - Numerical Index of this category, numbered in order starting at 1 { Mission Count Number - Number of missions in this category Mission Index - Numerical Index of this mission, numbered in order starting at 1 { map mapname - Name of the mvm map without the extension popfile popfilename - Name of the popfile without the extension } } } When a mission is completed the game looks at the missioncycle file and looks for the current map / mission pair. If it's found it then loads the next mission in that category, cycling back to the first one if it's the last one in that category. If the map / mission is not found, it simply restarts the current mission. This behavior at the end is probably what’s causing some bizarre issues with custom maps and popfiles. If a custom map is loaded and does not contain a default popfile [Ie playing map mvm_decoy.bsp the game expects to load a popfile of mvm_decoy.pop] the previous popfile will remain loaded. Finishing this mission will just simply restart this “bad” combination. Similarly if a custom popfile is loaded (via con commands or vote) the server will seemingly be stuck on that particular combination until a vote or server command is issued. This default behavior seems undesirable and we’ll change it to load the next well known mission from the missioncycle file - Mike Lee //--- Hi, Unless I'm missing something, nothing in that article explains how to have an unofficial MvM server rotate through a series of different maps with appropriate popfiles. tf_mvm_missioncycle.res appears to have changed in today's

Some people on here would do well to read up on that, so for your convenience: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_and_spirit_of_the_law In this case I think it's clear that with the quickplay system Valve intended to give Team Fortress 2 players a predictable and constant game experience. So farming the quickplay system for traffic to your server and then changing that server to something that's not eligible for quickplay is wrong, no matter how the rules were written. I sincerely hope this practice will stop and that the servers in question will be banned (again).

The excuses used here by some that Valve never said we couldn't do this or there's nothing in the rules that say we can't do this, leads me to believe that they rely on parents to tell them when they are doing wrong and they simply can't work it out for themselves. This latest trend of using a plugin to switch on Quickplay up to 24 players, and then when at 24/24 switch off Quickplay and convert the server to 32 players, instaspawn, with the argument that tell us where we are breaking the Policy of Truth rules, is quite frankly mind boggling. Lets just forget about those players who thought they were joining a stock TF2 server and who end up with 24/7 32 man 2fort spammage, because it's fine as Valve never said that using this particular plugin this was wrong. No Heroes (cough). I blame Pinion as it has opened the gates for children to run servers. Good old fashioned honesty, decency and integrity, not to mention thinking of the players and not your pockets. You learn these things as adults. Why Valve backtracked on their latest purge of bans is beyond me. They have lost their backbone and I'm extremely disappointed. I hope they find their backbone again soon.

You're ruining the experience of players that came in through quickplay, expecting a balanced game with at most 24 players, but who end up in a 32 player explosive damage spamfest for which TF2 wasn't designed.

Re: [hlds_linux] Overlapping port usage when running multiple servers on one machine
I've attached the bash script that I've used and improved upon for years now to start my TF2 servers. It assumes there's a servercfgfile named server_portnumber.cfg that contains the settings specific for that instance, for example your server identity and logdir. It starts the first server on port 27015 and works it's way up in increments of 10. Using the -strictportbind option just makes the server quit (and restart over and over if autoupdate is set) if one or more of the ports it wants to use is unavailable, instead of just picking a higher portnumber. For that reason I stopped using it, since I let the server assign all other ports by itself. If anyone has any comments, questions or suggestions about my script feel free to ask.

I feel this discussion is getting a little out of hand over nothing.

My list isn't hypothetical: anyone that has been hosting tf2 servers for a while and cares about his community knows those and other issues happened regularly. And there are other ways to know an update has been released, such as a text/skype message on your phone (not hypothetical, happened to me for real). And yes, valve have been posting optional (client) updates to this list.

Not everyone has a PC with tf2 always available. I wasn't blaming him for anything. Just pointing out other ways to see what the client update was in the 45 minutes he must have sat nervously sweating about if there was an update or not. If he observed clients updating and connecting to his server then what I said applied - and if he didn't observe clients updating or servers updating because of the stuff in your hypothetical list then I can't imagine anyone would spontaneously decide to fret about whether there's an update or not. The truth, if you like, is the update process itself. If your server doesn't update or tell you there is an update, then there is no update. All the fluff about ghost updates and so on is a red herring. If your client updates, then it updates - whether the update is real or not is moot - your client is still updating isn't it? So, asking here is there an update makes little sense if you have a server nor if you don't have one. In the former case you can see for yourself if there is one and in the latter case it shouldn't really matter. I've never been sure why they post the updates here, because it has served little useful purpose at all (It's main feature seems to be to enable whoever's turn it is this week to reply to Eric's post moaning about whatever they don't currently like and to point out why that feature or bug will mean the end of TF2 as we know it) or to ask the same question about counterstrike that's asked every time. Now you want Eric to post when there aren't updates too? Because if there's no post saying there is an update you don't think There isn't an update you ask anyway just in case there is one. Sheesh. So yeah I get it, it's like when you get on a train, you know where you want to go, you know where the train is going from all the evidence, but you still start sweating and have to ask someone Is this the train to Greater Frogsbottom? You don't trust any of the numerous things telling you there is no update. In that case you'll just have to sit and sweat and see where the train goes.

Re: [hlds_linux] Fwd: Re: Once Again Valve Doesn't Care About Server Owners
rant Cameron, why don't YOU fuck off with your suggestive, hatefull topics and baseless accusations towards Valve about their laziness considering bugfixes. Merry belated Christmas to you too, by the way /rant That being said, I'm having some issues with my TF2 MvM servers at the moment, where they just freeze after a while. At the moment I'm running 4 servers, 1 24 player PvP and 3 MvM, of which one is password protected and for private use for me and my friends. All servers are completely vanilla with no SourceMod, Metamod or custom maps. Only the 2 public MvM servers have issues, I had to restart them about every other day in the past week. The PvP server and private MvM server (which isn't used very often) are not having any issues. The most annoying about it is that they freeze, not crash, so no dump or crashlog is generated. However, I'm confident Valve will fix this shortly, once they've isolated the problem and tested any patches. I'm wondering if anyone is having similar issues.

Re: [hlds_linux] tf2 downloads
From a Linux standpoint this makes sense, since Linux filesystems are case sensitive. So if the server passes the mapname as-is to the client in a download url, and the client then requests the file by that url from the (apache) webserver, the webserver will look for the file on the filesystem in that exact case. But because the source dedicated server was designed to work on both Linux and Windows, internally when the srcds looks for the map file, this probably goes through some function that looks up the file in a case insensitive manner. There isn't really a way Valve would be able to fix this 'bug', since the download request for the mapfile by the client is handled by a third party webserver. Even if you would set the download url to point at a Windows webserver you'd have this problem, since I believe MS-IIS behaves in a case sensitive manner when serving files over http to clients (please correct me if I'm wrong about this, I have very little experience with Windows servers). So the only work-around is, as you pointed out, to not use capitals in your filenames (ever! overloading is bad practice and can lead to unexpected results as we've just learned), or at least be consistent about it, calling the name of the next map in it's correct case.

Of course admins should not be stupid and not do capitals in it, but a mistake is easy made.

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM popfiles getting stuck
Hi Yun, this bug is known since it was reported before. Then it was reportedly fixed by Valve, but it seems there was a regression in later update that undid the fix and now it's back.

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM: Server running wrong mission after successful changelevel vote
I didn't do a thorough test, but when I just checked the console of my MvM server I noticed it was running decoy as a map, while the popfile was coaltown (the normal one, not advanced or anything). I gave the randommap command in the console, which changed the map randomly to decoy again, but the popfile was still coaltown. Then I did a changelevel mvm_mannworks which succesfully changed the map to mannworks, but the popfile remained coaltown. All the while the server browser kept reporting the running map was mvm_coaltown. After setting tf_mvm_popfile and giving another randommap command (again decoy) the server finally was in a correct state again. So it seems this bug is pretty easy to reproduce, I hope for the Valve guys too. Let's hope they'll be able to fix it soon as well.

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM: Server running wrong mission after successful changelevel vote
I can confirm that I've ran into this on my MvM server once or twice as well, but so far I've been to busy/lazy to try to reproduce this. Now that there's a good step-by-step guide on how to reproduce the error I will see if I can find the time soon to reproduce and further confirm this bug. Thanks for this Compy! On Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 12:08 AM, Compy the Insane co...@hectoravila.net wrote: I came across this bug back in October, but took me a month on and off of googling and testing to figure/find out the cause and scope of this bug. Here are the details: Whenever a map is changed on a Mann vs Machine server via TF2's changelevel vote, the map is changed, but the following happens as well: - If the cvar tf_mvm_popfile is already set either via console or vote, tf_mvm_popfile goes unchanged. Good luck with taking on a Mannworks mission on Decoy! :D - As a result of the above, the server reports the unchanged value of tf_mvm_popfile as the map when queried from Steam/TF2's server browser. - If the map is changed with tf_mvm_popfile blanked, the server reports the correct map when queried. Example on how to reproduce this: - The server is running the map mvm_mannworks with the tf_mvm_popfile cvar set to mvm_mannworks_advanced. - A player must then start a vote to change to the map mvm_decoy. The vote must succeed. - The server changes to the map mvm_decoy Expected results after the map change: - tf_mvm_popfile set to mvm_decoy or alternatively, another mission as set in the MvM missioncycle file. The example in this case is mvm_decoy_advanced. - The server report mvm_decoy, or for the alternate result above, mvm_decoy_advanced as the map when queried Current results after the map change: - tf_mvm_popfile remains set to mvm_mannworks_advanced until it is changed either by using the console or by vote. - The server reports mvm_mannworks_advanced as the map when queried. Other notes: I already know that I can work around this by creating CFG files for each MvM map that is on the server and filling them with tf_mvm_popfile missionname. I already have this on maps where only one mission for each map is on the server. I cannot do this for the rest of the maps because each of the rest have more than one mission and the server's missioncycle is split into categories by difficulty.

Re: [hlds_linux] Running a Halloween Server
I hope I speak for most people when I say that I don't see the problem here. If you don't like to play King of the Hill, then don't play on servers with KOTH maps in their rotation. If you don't like all the sillyness of TF2 halloween, then just ignore the game for 2 weeks a year or don't join any halloween servers. If you hate MvM, don't play MvM. Valve has given us a lot of options over the years with TF2: more gamemodes (does anyone still play Arena?), alternative weapons to use, and the occasional failure to inspire teamspirit and generosity in players. All these are optional, you can just steer clear and go on playing the game as you always have done. And all those optional extras were given to us for free.

If the game is updated I don't really get a choice whether to download the update or not. Ergo, if an update makes the game suck, the rather asinine (and completely false) suggestion that the updates were somehow free is no compensation. I not only get a game that now sucks, I don't get to keep the game I had that didn't suck. And you say but it's free - well free sucks then. Take my money and develop a version that doesn't compromise the gameplay to enable money laundering and / or credit fraud that PC gamer was reporting on the other day. I do think that, overall, games that get updates, patches and fixes are better than games that don't. Indeed, I don't really think it should be legal for any company to sell software that isn't maintained for a period after release (in much the same way that if I buy a car or a washing machine and it's faulty, I'd expect those faults to be corrected. (I think it's basically only the game industry that still sells software in this release it and forget about it way) Software development doesn't work if you don't do updates. Clearly Valve have done more than simple maintenance to TF2 though - and TF2 is better because of the updates it has had. But that's certainly not true of all of the updates and it's a bit of a fallacy to claim the updates are free or worse to somehow use this supposed 'free' update notion in a kind if you can't complain about the updates manner. Valve are not a charity and they are not altruistic. They are believed to be a billion dollar company. It's also nonsense because the whole premise of Valve developing software in this way is to get and react to customer feedback. As for the restriction on number of players, it sucks - and it sucks only because of the so-called economy and for no other reason. An economy that is full of, well, dishonest, thieving and cheating scumbags. There's no exaggeration there - and that includes, current Valve employees, credit card fraudsters and so on. I'm sure you must agree, if the game is now at a stage where they've stopped taking money from people who play it, and instead rig things to cater to scumbags, it's rather disingenuous of you to claim it's free. It's not really free all you're saying is what I mentioned in my earlier message that Valve have stopped writing games for people that want to play them, and they've stopped taking money from people who want to play them. They still take money - I would say they should write a decent game and charge money for it then :) Most of the things they get money for now in TF2 don't require the game and I think that is really the crux of the problem. As for saying It's only one map during one week, I'm sure those complaining of empty servers shortly before the halloween update will explain to you why, during that particular week or two period, why it would help if the game didn't suck. See? You can't play by yourself, simply because of the items and even though the game hits 100k people playing, and lots of servers are full, the map they are all playing on sucks.

Indeed, the MvM bots take up a full player slot and use the full AI logic in the source engine, much like the special infected in L4D. Spawning the bots as mobs in a horde would make them a lot dumber and be a significant change in the gameplay of TF2 MvM mode. -- Idleness is not doing nothing.

The tf_medieval cvar should not be reset to 0 on a mapchange, so you probably have some config file or plugin that does this for you. It might be a good idea to search for tf_medieval in the orangebox/tf/cfg directory, which on Linux can be done by executing `grep tf_medieval *` in that directory. It will tell you which files mess with the cvar. -- Idleness is not doing nothing.
