Re: [hlds] CSS: changelevel2 causes server crash
A simple plugin can fix that. 2011/10/21 Dusan Tomic d...@mojsajt.co.uk Thx for trying to help. I didn't write this emails just because, i know i can change level with changelevel, but what if some kid finds exploit how to crash server. I mean, even if this command is for single player, it can be used in multiplayer as well. I have no problem using it on Linux box, only on windows one it produces server crash. -- Kind regards, Dusan Tomic -- *Od:* hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [ hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] u ime korisnika Eli Witt [ eliw...@gmail.com] *Poslato:* 20. oktobar 2011 23:35 *Za:* d...@forlix.org; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list *Tema:* Re: [hlds] CSS: changelevel2 causes server crash Stop using changelevel2, it's not meant for multiplayer, why would you use a command you know crashes a server when there's a perfectly good command to not crash the server?

Some maps can cause a server to crash, due to several reasons. Such as reaching the limits of entities, brushes or having an I/O that is corrupted. Now, is the map wanting to trigger the changelevel? like players walk on an area, a door closes and it changes to the map2 to keep on the story. This is a dodgy event. It can be done but with experimentation and many tries. If it is the server because the timee reached 0, I can not help you, that is a server side issue if it happens every time with other maps. My reconemndation is to talk to the mapper if this issue occurs only with his maps. You could try launching some official maps to test if it is only his map that crashes.

[hlds] Halloween 2011
We're going to be launching some new Halloween content in the near future and wanted to give you all a quick heads-up. There will be random gift drops, but this year we are requiring that participants register their servers. If you choose not to register, you can still run the Halloween maps, but no gifts will drop on your server. By registering, your server will also be included in matchmaking, which will potentially drive traffic to you. Note that cheating or otherwise abusing the gift drop system will result in losing your registration, access to gift drops and other potential value-adds in the future. You still have plenty of time, as this change won't be going live until next week.

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011
Same here. I purposely didn't register my server for matchmaking, because we're a relatively small group of players and aren't really interested in matchmaking traffic since it's already common for people to have to wait for a spot. I've asked my players if they're interested in the gift drops, but I'm sure the majority will be. Is there a way to only be included in the matchmaking during Halloween maps and remove the server from the pool during every other map?

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011
There seems to be some confusion as to the differences between registering your server and enabling quickplay. - Your server must be registered to enable quickplay. - You don't have to enable quickplay if you register (use tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay 1) So, in order to participate in the event, you must be *registered*, but yo do *not* have to have quickplay enabled. Hope this clears things up, Jeff On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 7:49 PM, Yeef va...@yeef.net wrote: Didn't realize there was a cvar. tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay for those who aren't aware. The other thing, though, is that we play with both weapon and damage spread disabled. Would we also have to enable the damage spread for the Halloween or could we simply add our server to the quickplay list and disqualify ourselves for having damage spread off, but still receive gift drops since the server is registered? Hopefully John or someone else from Valve can clear this up.
