Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

Actually there is.
Implied consent is when you notify someone of your intent to do something.

And if that party or group does not expressly object. Then it is IMPLIED
CONSENT to do whatever you stated.

You should study law more before you post your uneducated opinion.

However.
To nip this conversation in the bud...

This was an ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN UPCOMING INDEPENDENTLY DEVELOPED
COUNTER-STRIKE FRANCHISE PRODUCT RELEASE.

Not a legal debate on the legality of Implied Consent. Although, it has
much Precedent.

Or the fact the appropriate parties were already notified by my person. Of
intent.

Announcement made.
Have a good day.

Cya sometime between June & November 2024.

And remember.
Coming soon.
The Real CS2.
Counter-Strike: Source 2

That's... not how it works. There's no such thing as "implied consent" 
in the software world. In fact, it's the opposite. It's "all rights 
reserved" unless otherwise specified. If you haven't been given explicit 
permission (either via something like an open source license or a direct 
agreement from the copyright holders) then you can't actually legally 
use this.

Okay pal, you can stop advertising your thing. Thanks.

Also you can't like, sell anything like this since this uses a lot of code that 
you don't own. Just ask Open Fortress. Clearly you're not very familiar with 
how software licensing works, and I would recommend you read on that before

There are a couple of other things that can cause it to close as well, like a

I'd assume this is an upstream fault with the distribution services for 
game clients and SteamCMD.

Any chance we could get a fix for the similar but significantly worse issue
that affects the Wrap Assassin? Try using it in the last point of badwater
to see what I mean.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Kyle Sanderson]

tmpfs with overlay and casual dumping will help on the hlds side.
Netchannel is terribly slow though: so there's going to (continue to) be
hard stalls for clients if it's on-demand decals as it traditionally
blocked prior to this update.

I haven't ripped apart any of these patches in a while - quite interested
to see if outside of CGameClient::Disconnect is called reliably now as the
other paths were a crap shoot.

Kyle.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[wickedplayer494]

Client hitching looks to be related to the change to spray retention 
behavior also being triggered on game startup (as well as disconnections 
as Naleksuh mentioned). Obviously for those on slower and/or older HDDs 
who have been playing the game for a while and have accumulated quite a 
collection of sprays, prolonged startup times after downloading haven't 
been entirely unheard of out there tonight.


I am in agreement though that sdr_spew_level should be brought over from 
CS:GO/Dota 2 sooner rather than later for users to suppress console spew 
from relay pinging. Even if it's default 5 like CS:GO's is, which I 
think is still way too high for ordinary users (I always set it to 3), 
that's still fine by me.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Naleksuh]

Any progress on future updates to address the issues here? Right now
whenever a player joins or leaves a server the game will hang for ~5
seconds. And bots have profile pictures for some reason now, probably
related to the Steam update.

Also, whats with the contant pinging of Steam servers in the console? Will
that be removed?

be a working build soon.

Ancient ancient ancient ancient issue where they (the game) pass this
through a format function and can crash through arbitrary memory
reading. The string was localized too to the client disconnecting
which was even more neat. It's beyond well documented how this has
been abused for well over a decade.

Can we for the love of god please get a CS:S sync. There's so much bad
stuff out there now and keeping all the other games vulnerable doesn't
help anyone. I'm happy to spend an hour reviewing the changeset or
whatever it takes to help this stuff land.

So when a player leaves after being moderated they do not have the ability
to spam their Discord server (which sells cheats/hacks/etc) or use it as a
final parting blow to send more harassment. This is a pretty common vector
of last-minute abuse/spam that a lot of trolls and bot accounts use.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Stealthmode Hu]

A lesson

Please do not respond. This is an informational post only.

Over the past twenty years a lot has happened at vALVE Software. I am only
going to touch base on the most important point.

Many, many good people have had their ideas, and concepts stolen by vALVE.
A lot of their " innovative " features came from people like you, and me.

And everything was stolen.

Make sure you read the fine print.

Anything posted in game, on these lists, on the forums. Any mods, maps,
etc.?

Are all property of vALVE Software. If you use their services to publish /
produce it. This goes for Worldcraft / Hammer, skinning / modeling,
scripting like am/amx, etc.

If you have something brilliant. Make sure you at least poor mans copyright
it. Or publish it on Facebook. Who, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, made sure
anything you post, or publish is automatically Trademarked,  and
Copyrighted Internationally.

Make sure if it concerns anything with vALVE. That you use a personal email
first. Then send it to them through their emails. Listed on the vALVE
Website.

This way you have evidence when your concept / idea gets stolen (
Intellectual Property Theft ).

This is in relation to all the trolling that occured in my other thread.

Eric Smith, and Gabe Newell were both solicited with my concept to update
Steam from a 32 bit aging client / server app, to a modernized 64 bit
client / server app.

Was not the only thing I solicited a few years ago. But the other concepts
were purchased by LEGITIMATE Companies. Mostly tabletop rpg in a 3d
environment using an hlds like server. DM / GM controlled one team,  the PC
controlled their characters.  But that is being developed in China atm for
mobile.

The point is. Be careful of sharing anything with vALVE, as they will
always rip you off. Unless you cover your ass.

Which this last time I did. Since getting screwed over for the concept ( a
Napster like server / client update, streaming updates from a single app ).
Gabe & Company wanted REAKTOR.

I gave them Steam. Under the implied condition that employment was sought
for compensation for the contribution of this one infamous platform name.
STEAlthMode & vALVE, it fits. Is a direct quote. From the original HLDS
lists. Sadly, part of the archive conveniently wiped out by an idiot who
exposed the company network to a virus.

So in closing,  be careful what you say on servers. In chat on Steam.
Especially when discussing concepts. Forums, and anything you produce in
things like Hammer. For they will steal it, like they always have.

This time though,  I covered my ass. And saved the emails. Which predate
any announcement by anyone there by months it not a year. Evidence of
Intellectual Property Theft.

We have lost many, many good people in the community over the past 22 years
now. Most of the original staff are gone.  Cause Gabe stole their ideas too.

Smith, Johnson, Lombardi, and Newell are the only four left from the
original staff that I can see. Cliffe is gone, he was the original
developer of Counter-Strike. Technically WAS the owner of it. As it was his
baby mod for Half Life. CZ is Eric Smiths brainchild. I remember spending
way too many voluntary hours beta testing his bots Artificial Intelligence
scripting. Even expert was not good enough eventually. As the bots aimbots,
wallhacks, and sound locators ( lvl 5 AI ) could be defeated by not being
where they expected you to be.  I asked Eric for a higher level of AI about
when I solicited a 64 bit platform concept under NDA.

Haven't logged in since. That was 882 days ago roughly. Little over two
years now. Notice what came out after that? My 64 bit platform.

So cover your asses. Please do not troll this thread. As after the Lawsuit
in World Court, they may not be a company allowed to do business anymore.

There's a few million in damages over time that have accumulated. About
$17,000,000 worth.

And vALVE is likely going to go bankrupt while waiting for the Court to
release their bank accounts. They get frozen when lawsuits get filed, to
ensure damages will be available.

And for any of you who ever used hacks / cheats back then? Sorry for
getting you all banned. Making vALVE even more money,  sometimes 450,000
accounts at once. Jo0lz hates me I bet to this day. Every other day he was
making a new cheat. And every other day I was sending the link to Eric, or
Nick Shaffner to update VAC.

That's how much I have contributed over the decades now.

Y'all take care. A lot of you are newer. But some veterans know,  and
remember me. And can tell you. Everything I said is true.

We have lost many, many talented people in this community, and at vALVE
because of Intellectual Property Theft. Gabe is the greediest, dumbest, no
original thought having, concept stealing cheese stealing RAT you could
ever meet.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Sammi]

Hello Eric thank you for the update.

I don't mean to bother you about this but it has been about 5 months
since I reported these servers for using fake players.

45.147.5.5:27015
94.130.49.180:27050
74.91.124.167:27015

I am not sure if the reason that they have not been dealt with is
because of lack of motivation or that it doesn't look like they are
using fake players since they are using actual steam accounts.

If you actually go on their servers you can see that there are
constantly fewer players than reported in a2s_player and in the status
command which they have overridden to hide their fake clients.

If you use the ping command though you can see several bot accounts
with a ping of 0.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Sammi]

My apologies Eric, but I just wanted to follow up on these servers
using fake players we talked about a month ago that you said were sent
to the responsible people.

45.147.5.5:27015
94.130.49.180:27050
74.91.124.167:27015

it still seems like nothing has happened on that, so I'm trying to
make sure it wasn't forgotten. Thank you.

Do you have any update on the network exploits presently working
against every other Source1 game. We're also seeing an uptick in
ancient spray/rce attacks against players as well (which doesn't
impact the server beyond distribution).

Hello I've reported a community using fake players over a month ago
and nothing seems to have been done about it.

45.147.5.5:27015
94.130.49.180:27050
74.91.124.167:27015

Not sure if I emailed the wrong people or it will be eventually be
dealt with, or if this is allowed now?

Does this exploit not work on any other Source engine game? There's a
published write-up here
https://gist.github.com/BenCat07/c861b5436d82e05fab43dc74aaf4b585 so
I'm quite curious why other games (CS:S) have not been patched.

Regarding the custom files RCE which Stealth Mode mentioned back on

Is anyone having issues where it displays on the server list that the
server does not have any players when in reality it does? Same problem on
HLSW as well.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[A Fearts]

What is the difference between setting: sv_voicecodec vaudio_speex &
sv_voicecodec steam?

Does "steam" = vaudio_speex + sv_use_steam_voice "1"?

Does "vaudio_speex" = vaudio_speex + sv_use_steam_voice "0"?

Or is it something completely different? I'm a bit confused.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[A Fearts]

Thanks for the update Eric. Is there any news on if/when the issue with the
new Voice Codec will be patched? I saw you guys did respond to the Github
issue thread and was hoping to see some news on the issue this update. I
still have all my personal servers reverted back to the old Codec but it
would be nice to use the new one as the quality is so much nicer. Also, I
feel bad for all the MAC users who play on your official servers who are
unable to communicate with their team. Anyway, thanks for fixing the team
issue it was causing a lot of problems. Hope you had a nice holiday.

Hey,

are you using ZFS on linux?
I had the same problem, steamcmd failed to update the server. It works
only on my ext4 partition for some reason.
Maybe it is a combination of ZFS on linux and the fix for the dirty cow
bug: https://dirtycow.ninja/

Had to manually restart my servers like it was a optional update.

Eric!!
Upon joining a valve server I quickly realized the sv_pure is now back to 0
instead of 1.
Was this intentional? I thought it was set to 1 to prevent users from
running custom skins that would give them an advantage

The new Demo Support feature is a client-side tool for recording .dem files, 
similar to P-REC. It will function on any server.

Right. And it's not just servers that correctly set the tag with a new

Servers that never removed the plugin were unbanned and are running it

Are you on hlds too? You probably got one there and one here.

Anyways, the sv_motd_unload_on_dismissal ConVar is about what happens to the 
MOTD when the user closes it. Before we would just hide it, but the page would 
still be loaded and taking resources. This gives server operators the option to 
have it unloaded completely.

Let's be realistic though, if the plugin has been widely used in the
competitive community for such a long time with no action taken by Valve it
would seem to be a little harsh to VAC ban players for it because they
didn't catch the note about it buried in some random update notes.

sv_motd_unload_on_dismissal 1 appears to be doing nothing on my end.

Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't it be stopped? Or did I just

Apologies, I assumed this change took effect on the client. MOTD is being

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Yun Huang Yong]

Thanks for this suggestion, I did run this but without any idea what the 
profile is supposed to look like I ended up looking at the individual 
TF2 server instance CPU usage more closely and it's the MvM servers that 
are chewing up notiecably more CPU than prior to the last (4 April) update.


A bunch of observations make me wonder if there was a change or bug 
introduced in the MvM bot logic which may be related to the increase MvM 
CPU usage.


As far as I can remember MvM bots were spawned on demand, and otherwise 
never showed up in the 'status' output until they were actually in game. 
 Looking at 'status' today I see lots of bots like this:


# 60 TFBotBOT  active
# 61 (1)TFBot BOT  active
# 62 (2)TFBot BOT  active
etc

In addition, I'm encountering this bug on my Wave 666 server.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/301

tl;dr bots seem to be taking up way more player slots than they should 
be, leading to starvation of real player slots and the visible max 
players dropping to 2.


From what I recall of how visible max players is supposed to work:
  - 32 total slots required
  - 22 slots required for bots
  - 6 slots for players
  - 4 slots left empty (spectators, some servers use these for 10p MvM)

So not only are the bots exceeding the allocated 22 slots, they're 
chewing up the 4 normally empty spectator slots and then chewing up 4 
additional player slots.


Are any MvM server operators seeing these changes?

This is all on a vanilla (non-MM/SM) server, the only config changes are 
to the tf_mvm_missioncyclefile  mvm_coaltown.cfg to force 24x7 Wave 666.


I suspect the problem doesn't manifest itself on a normal MvM server 
where the waves are much shorter and there is opportunity for things to 
be reset regularly.

Hey,

I would recommend running the vprof set of commands to diagnose where
frame time is going. Unfortunately without pre-update data there's not a
clear comparison. Run vprof_on to start the profiler, let the game run
for a while, then vprof_off. You'll then run vprof_generate_report
for a data dump of frame time usage, as well as peaks.

You and others may want to run the vprof

Looking at another machine I have that also hosts 3 other servers
(1x24p and 2xMvM) it also has seen an increase in CPU usage.  Across
all servers there's almost a doubling in CPU usage.

I tried to dig into whether it was a PvP or MvM thing and the CPU
increase is consistent across both types of servers.

I tried disabling replays on the servers that had it and that didn't
help.

I'm really at a loss.  At the current usage the machines that
previously ran 3 servers each will only be able to handle 2 so I'll
need to spend +50% on new hardware, or shut down 2 servers.

Any suggestions on how to narrow down the cause?

Anyone from Valve that could comment on what might cause this?

It only started with the 3rd/4th April update.

Has anyone seen an *increase* in CPU usage since the most recent
(3rd/4th April) update?

My players have been complaining of lag and upon investigation the
network is fine and it appears to be a CPU issue.  I took a look at my
graphite graphs and found that there appears to be have been an
increase in CPU usage since the update:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8110989/tf2/cpu-usage-post-20130404.png

Note: due to server being in Australia the update was released in the
flat gap between 04/04 and 04/05 on the graph, being ~10am local time.

Running on Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit.

The server has been running for ~6 months with the same setup and
during the period shown the # of players has been roughly the same.
The machine runs 3 servers - 2x24p and 1xMvM.

Excuse the gaps in the data - the server is fine, there was network
issues with the graphite collector machine causing monitoring data to
be lost.

cheers,
yun

Because he removed the plugin that triggered it and Valve mumbled

if they try to game the weighting like this. Which is probably a far 
more effective thing for them to do
since it might stymie whatever clever idea he has next to try and game 
quickplay.


But as I said at the time, if you give people the impression they've got

act and think like they did nothing wrong (see the evidence here)

Worse, them asking Valve to be tough on others.


Running a plugin like that is fine


It was made pretty clear it wasn't. I think you should re-read the thread.

So I'll just answer it on face value.

From what Gabe was saying in a talk the other day they don't create 
anything much for TF2 these days because the community are 10x more 
efficient at doing it than they were.


But, yes, they do lots of stuff because they've figured doing this stuff 
makes their customers happy - and this is reflected in their bottom 
line. I think it's clear the focus on customers is reflected in more 
than just purely financial terms too.

 I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but I'm not sure you are
 either?

 So I'll just answer it on face value.

 From what Gabe was saying in a talk the other day they don't create
 anything much for TF2 these days because the community are 10x more
 efficient at doing it than they were.

 But, yes, they do lots of stuff because they've figured doing this stuff
 makes their customers happy - and this is reflected in their bottom line. I
 think it's clear the focus on customers is reflected in more than just
 purely financial terms too.

Improved performance of Linux dedicated server binaries

For those who had increased CPU usage after the april 4th update, you 
also may have had random lagging lasting 1-5 mins on a server untill it 
goes away and comes back after some hours. That's what i had. It seems 
this performance optimization affected on the -threads option at the 
dedicated server startup line. If you are using that, might be a good 
idea to remove it.

Ever learned to read between the lines of such documents? Instead of choosing 
your own meaning, to read what the person who wrote it really meant?

With the restriction of some game variables which are truly game breaking, only
the defined Valve maps, etc. Basically, they tell you, that running SM or w/e 
plugin
to admin the server is fine (the mod in the story). But not to change the 
experience too much for players (as vanilla as possible). With the huge 
amount of 
ways ppl can change the behavior of the server, it would be a very long list 
of
do not do this/that. They just want to prevent such with a general broad 
description.

Result is with the pinion story that they limited the MOTD to be shown only 
once at
joining the server if using quickplay. Hmm, interesting, confirms above... 

Do with that whatever you like with your own servers, but don't tell me some 
that
isn't true. Valve allows server owners to run QuickPlay servers, for they 
always had
a stance that communities should be able to run their own servers. They've set 
limits
and servers outside those should not be in the QuickPlay list.

I don't want to get into another useless internet argument where people try
to win a point by nitpicking a single sentence out of an entire argument.

What I am saying is that if Valve is allowing pay-to-win servers to stay in
quickplay then it really isn't vanilla as possible. What do you have to
say about this quote from the quickplay overview?

Are there any server side mods that will disqualify me from Quickplay
since some do not change sv_tags? No, we are not automatically
disqualifying servers for server side mods. If the mods results in a better
or worse player experience, that will be reflected in the back-end server
score.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513

Vanilla is a random list of what Valve thinks new players will like and
whatever people complain about on SPUF, it is not by any means vanilla as
some people here are defining it.

 You just can not rely on the built in function anymore to avoid de-listing,

- Take your Quickplay servers down if you need to put advertisements on them. 
There are an abundance of genuinely vanilla servers that will happily receive 
that traffic and lead to happier players. You shouldn't be running Quickplay 
servers if you can't afford them.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

[Doctor McKay]

I agree with you for the most part, but I feel the need to address a couple
of things.

- Quickplay is supposed to be as vanilla as possible, yes. I don't really
like the idea of Dynamic Slots being used to trick players or the Quickplay
system, but Valve has outright said that they're not going to do anything
about it at this time. That's essentially a We're not going to do anything
about it, but that doesn't mean that we like it response. So the
re-listing of servers was okay.

- Advertisements don't really affect the vanilla experience of the game
(besides perhaps the waiting time cutting into Setup time, which should be
addressed, in my opinion). If a Quickplay server has ads on it, then
whatever. I'm thinking Pinion ought to take steps to make sure that the
Setup time is still usable (perhaps I'll write some code and send them a
pull request).

- Although the idea of people will vote with their feet makes sense, it's
apparently too complex for some people to click the Disconnect button and
go elsewhere, causing petitions to arise on SPUF asking Valve to do
anything from preventing the MOTD from being reopened to outright banning
the principle of forced waiting times. People *should* vote with their
feet, but there are entirely too many lazy people in this world who can't
be bothered to click Disconnect and find another server.

  - Quickplay is supposed to be as vanilla as possible.

 Again this is flat out wrong. I don't know how many times I have to say
 this, but there are pay-to-win servers on quickplay.

 From the quickplay FAQ itself: Are there any server side mods that will
 disqualify me from Quickplay since some do not change sv_tags? No, we are
 not automatically disqualifying servers for server side mods. If the mods
 results in a better or worse player experience, that will be reflected in
 the back-end server score.

 Valve realizes that 3rd party servers provide more value to players than
 their own, otherwise they would have made quickplay only for Valve servers.

  People choosing to join Quickplay aren't expecting your mods, your
 advertisements, your anything. They're expecting a vanilla experience

 When I bought TF2, I expected mods just like I expected them on
 Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Gmod. Now that there is a quickplay feature, I
 still don't see where in the game it says that a server can't have any mods
 on it.

 Quickplay is Valve's attempt to keep new players by providing them what
 they think they want by the rigorous scientific process of blocking
 whatever people on SPUF complain about.

 There is a reason why your own vanilla servers died out on an equal
 playing field. The reason is because your players weren't happier.

 experience.
 
  - Take your Quickplay servers down if you need to put advertisements on

I don't want to get into another useless internet argument where people try
to win a point by nitpicking a single sentence out of an entire argument.

What I am saying is that if Valve is allowing pay-to-win servers to stay in
quickplay then it really isn't vanilla as possible. What do you have to
say about this quote from the quickplay overview?

Are there any server side mods that will disqualify me from Quickplay
since some do not change sv_tags? No, we are not automatically
disqualifying servers for server side mods. If the mods results in a better
or worse player experience, that will be reflected in the back-end server
score.

Vanilla is a random list of what Valve thinks new players will like and
whatever people complain about on SPUF, it is not by any means vanilla as
some people here are defining it.

 Quickplay Overview: (

  Servers should be running as vanilla as possible.

  to be repeated: Those bans were NOT meant to ban servers for increasing
  their maximum slots through a Valve provided setting. They were likely in

How was he correctly de-listed if valve reversed it? It was a bug.

The problem was that valve changed it so the tag doesn't get set
immediately. Running a plugin like that is fine but you need to monitor the
tags to make sure they get set.
No de-listing happened since then and more servers are bringing it back.

You just can not rely on the built in function anymore to avoid de-listing,
you NEED to make sure the tags are set immediately and you will be OK.

Like valve said, it would be straying into the grey area for them to
de-list such servers and they re-listed the ones they got last time due to
that bug.
