Re: [hlds] Server Clan to Inform Valve of their Mistake
Oh I don't know, UT2K7 will be out within 6 months; Crysis will follow that... Lets face it, until GunGame came out recently, there was little desire to play CSS -- adding in a weapon economy sure didn't fix it -- I was at a LAN recently where people wanted to play with the economy for the novelty of it, then democracy reigned and it was quickly shut off becuase it was pointless and added so little flare to the game as to be considered a worthless mod. Lets face it; since Valve took CS and converted it to Steam it has not been such a powerhouse. I realize there are still many people playing but look at the average players per server -- this may be a good way to cull some of them, but honestly, as a player, I see this as a cheat -- if you want to come to my server and play, you play by my rules or you get the hell off my machine.

Now we can assume that like everything in life the hl2 code isn't perfect and there are ways to use the tools we have been given in ways that are not intended (the wallhack using cvars comes to mind). I am sure that the creators of the game did not intend for people to be able to make no recoil cheats. Considering the stance they have taken on cheating I am sure we all agree that is a fair statement. Scripts are also nothing more than a manipulation of variables automated for our gaming pleasure. It is these variables that are the actual cheats but it is the scripts that are the catalyst. It's like one is the bullet and one is the gun. They work together to get the result. The argument that it is there for everyone has no basis in reality. We all may have the possibility to create a cheat such as this but the average player does not have the knowledge necessary to create the cheat.

Re: [hlds] Server Crash
Archie, Type HLDSUPDATETOOL.EXE with no commands after it. The program line commands and switches will become available to you. The -verify_all option is /supposed/ to look at each and every file in your css and hl2 content directories and ensure that they 1) exist and 2) match the latest versions. I realize that this process is a catch 22 for VALVe as they were overwriting map lists and map cycles with the updates originally; that process stopped and when it stopped, I believe other checks stopped as well hence the requirement for me to completly remove all files (as I did not, and do not have a list of what files are not validated, I cannot tell you what one or two to remove from your system to get bots functioning again). You can type in the command line with the verify all as: hldsupdatetool -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -verify_all -dir c:\yourbigdir The above command line assumes you are running CS Source; you would modify the text after -game to whatever game you are running. As I stated before, this process did *NOT* work for me. My only solution was to complete remove all VALVe content and reinstall from scratch. I wish you the best of luck on your endeavors.

[hlds] Bots and CSS
Mr. Reynolds, It appears some are experiencing an issue initially experienced in February of this year. Specifically the issue is that servers have been running successfully with bots for months; we receive an update at time of release for DOD:S and now bots are crashing some Windows based systems. Could you tell us if Valve is more than peripherally aware of the situation, and if anything is being considered to rectify the situation? Perhaps a redefining the minimum machine requirements for a Windows 200x Server if that is the problem? I believe that there was another update sometime after the February fiasco that also made adding bots without players difficult, someone came out with a workaround that was very successful -- that particular issue did not present itself with the C++ errors seen at this time (and seen back in February). Does Valve have some agenda to prevent bots from being on a server when no humans are playing? I do not believe that that is true, but there is some suspicion at this point. Do you have any recommendations? Perhaps how to get data populated in the MDMP files that are created at crash time to help diagnose? I appreciate your time, as always, and look forward to your reply.

Re: [hlds] Bots and CSS
Brian, I would ask that you try not to over analyze my post, I did not intend for any hidden agenda to come through, was not trying to produce a shovel-full of sarcasm, or make any quick jabs hoping no one would be the wiser. I appreciate your concern, but wanted to make certain that I posted the situation as I see it and as I have identified from several attempts to get help from both the community on this specific issue. I am happy to report that I became frustrated enough to FIX my own problem and am about to share it with everyone on the list, but again, I am not intentionally providing sarcasm as I do so. I had never bothered to remove the entire HL2Server directory on my machine, only the CSTRIKE. I removed *everything* and reinstalled... Lo and behold, my server is now able to stay up for more than 10 minutes with bots (as of the time of this message, I have had it running for 40 minutes and am ready to leave for the day). So, if anyone else is having issues with Bots crashing their system after the last update, please remove EVERYTHING on your machine for Valve, then reinstall the HLDSUPDATETOOL and start from scratch. Now I did NOT dump my MOTD.TXT or my Server.CFG, but did dump everything else. I even have the latest Beetlesmod Beta running!! Again, my original post seeking help this morning was not loaded intentionally with sarcasm or criticism, I was genuinely seeking assistance. If anyone read it as sarcasm, I appreciate the feedback an will keep in mind that regardless of my intent, people may misconstrue, and assign their own perceived motive to, my posts.

Re: [hlds] Server crashing?
[xXx]infexXxious clan, I hope you're not limiting the diagnosis to just Sprout... I suspect that the problem I am having is processor based... But I cannot confirm it without putting a more powerful machine in place (which I am not currently willing to do). I have turned off all mods and have even re-installed SRCDS and all content for HL2 and CSS. If I have bots, I crash with a C++ error. My crashes include STOCK maps (acutally I can't get out of the first map without a system crash). I have seen the system go as long as 5 minutes with an FPS Booster running and High Priority Rate, 7 Minutes with FPS Booster and Normal Priority and 10 minutes without the FPS Booster and Normal Priority. Something drastically changed in the way that things are handled with either AI or with tracking individuals on the server -- I cannot say that I have had enough people on there since I removed the Bots to know if it can/will/would crash with the same number of actual players on the system... But belvie that the Bots are putting greater strain than clients because of the AI.

I do have several MDMP (memory dump) files in my root server directory, but they are all 0 KB -- they are apparently being created when SRCDS.EXE dies. Also, turning off my high-precision timer (srcdsfpsboost.exe), I go down to between 10 and 20 FPS (does this matter still?) and I do not see crashes every 5 minutes, it acutally stayed up 10 minutes this time...

Thanks sKel and Oz, I appreciate the feedback. My concern though is that I have been running the server successfully for nearly a year -- the September update is what killed me.

Re: [hlds] mp_showhitboxes
Ben, I find your answer interesting. However, I find your statment of, ... a simple explanation for a video that has caused complete uproar ... to be a poor answer considering you questioned how it was done (As to why the shots appeareither they have set ... or have turned ... off). Clayton, thank you for providing your findings, much more intuitive than suggesting that we remain ignorant to a situation and just let it go away. Cheers, Bud Ingram - Original Message - From: Ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 2:16 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] mp_showhitboxes There is still latency between your game and the server even when running a listen server. Firstly, the client runs several frames behind to allow it interpolate object positions, and secondly, I believe that you have a simulated ping of 30ms on top. Add in the latency caused by the discrete server ticks and you've got a fair sized number. The command shows the server side hitboxes which is the position of the player (in this case a bot) on the server. Due to the latency, the position on the client is always trailing behind. That is why the hitboxes (server side position of the player) are in front of the actual model. It is just the way the game engine is designed. As to why the shots appear to register on the hitbox and not the model - either they have set cl_interp to a very high value, or they have turned the lag compensation off.

Obviously you didnt know that this lawsuit was overturned in appeal and the woman only managed to get her medical bills covered by the mcdonalds companies and thats it. My closing comments on topic: Bottom line is that VALVe will only be banning cheaters from secure servers.

The original argument I replied to was the suggestion that cheaters be banned from all VALVe products, this will never happen, and for the exact reason you stated... Overturning via appeal, but still paying for medical bills, does not show that McDonalds won. Your suggestion of anything obvious is that you don't appreciate that McDonalds ultimaely lost the case; likewise, if you were to permanently ban any cheater from being able to use VALVe products, a class action lawsuit could easily be filed to force VALVe to refund the pruchase price of the software as people could prove they they didn't understand the TOS/ELUA in regard to software found to update their game play experience -- a good lawyer could prove that use of custom graphics, sounds, add-ons or maps could also be considered in the same category as any other download that would enhance an individuals game play experience via predition of movement, auto-aim, etc. Let's face it, a cheater is doing it for their enjoyment or they wouldn't be doing it. A lawyer could probably prove that their client needs to utilize the cheats in order to maintain an equal playing field between their client and good players due to fill-in-your-disability-of-choice, all because American's believe in absolute non-discrimination.

There are numerous concerns (reading on SteamPowered and visiting with other admins) that WinSRCDS Servers have an issue serving the resources for custom maps (only .BSP files are transmitting) and no one is clear on which, or how-to, setup .RES or .LST files for HTTP download with CS:S. Thank you very much in advance. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
[hlds] SV_DOWNLOADURL and Resource Setup
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I was looking at my server last night and noticed that there are download directories. I also notice that the RESLIST directory shows LST files which contain what appear to be the same data the old .RES files would contain. What was really exicting to me was to see that the custom maps in rotation have their own .LST files, to clarify, I have several custom maps on the server and those not in the map cycle are not showing a .LST file. Does anyone know how to setup to allow downloading of the additional materials for custom maps (sounds, textures, etc.) or is this being done automatically upon request to download by a given client attempting to connect to your server? From what I see, the .RES files are *not* working (see Steampowered User Forums)... Thanks! -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] CSS Fast Downloads
BeNt, If that works for CSS, please let us know. From what I see on the SteamPowered forums, it doesn't.

I include it anyway to annoy people) maps/ns_tehmap.txt sprites/minimaps/ns_tehmap.spr sound/ns_tehmap/tehsound.wav sound/ns_tehmap/tehmusicolol.mp3 That's it! Just customize it for your map, replace my .wavs and .sprs with your .wavs and .sprs and you should be fine! -- Ben lyndak Battersby http://www.brotherhood-online.co.uk/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
