Re: [hlds] New TF quickplay in beta
If I'm getting it right, the new system won't put players in empty servers but now requires at least 2 players to join an empty server exclusively with the new system, otherwise the server will be considered full. Mindfuck?

This shortcoming will be addressed soon. · Never get matched into an empty server by yourself. A server will always be seeded with at least N players.

So you could currently make an account per machine you wish to run the tool on. You do NOT need to buy the full game client to update if the dedicated server is free. - CS:GO is a special case because it is in closed beta, access to its dedicated server is limited to blessed accounts which is why you need a special login. If you are having problems running CS:GO servers and are in the beta email the team and ask for access to another account for your dedicated servers. With Steam Pipe you should see an improvement in download speeds and more robust response during high demand. It uses HTTP as the content delivery method, so you could setup a local HTTP proxy to cache all steamcmd requests, making updates from multiple machines stay on your local network. - Alfred *From:* hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] *On Behalf Of *Valentin G. *Sent:* Friday, July 06, 2012 7:07 AM *To:* Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list *Subject:* Re: [hlds] Steam CMD Yeah that's my main gripe with it. If you allow all accounts into the system though you might aswell drop the requirement to login alltogether. If we need to own the games to host servers at least allow simultanous login to both SteamCMD and the desktop client. I would like to hear why this is done anyway, I can somehow get behind it for CS:GO as it's a closed beta right now (although restricting server file access is still weird) but why introduce this to games already released. It's just an inconvenience. This is not that big of an issue for F2P but buying extra $30+ games just to have a separate server account is not something I would want to do.

Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Released
We learned the hard way not to trust players, even for rtv/votekick/voteban. It happened that players of other communities or some random groups, joined the server in big groups and started votes to kick/ban everyone else or keep changing map. And it's incredible the amount of whiners that start complaining just for the sake of it on the community forum after being banned for insulting heavily other players or even for using cheats. Well administered servers risk to be targets to this abuse report system exactly like bad servers, only servers with no admins at all are immune from complains.

I agree. Maybe it will work in an acceptable manner on simpler maps such as duel or bball. There's only one way to figure it out, and it's pretty quick too: download a server, add bots and look at net_graph 4. Keep in mind that bots are more cpu intensive than real players.

Auto Join Gui on Full Server I seem to not be able to have the auto-join prompt for my server setup for some reason and hope you could shed light or forward to someone that knows.

No Reserve or hidden slots. Myself and other players, when server has 24 players, does not get prompted a Auto-Join Gui. Other servers seem to be able to have this prompt, but without STV enabled. My only conclusion, limited at this point, is that it has to do w/ the STV slot or some other configuration? No Map Info in Server Browser Seems that when the server gets to a certain threshold of players, the map info goes blank in the TF2 browser. This occurred at least for me tonight with about 14 total players and STV enabled. People seem to still be able to join by still selecting the server as the hostname still appears.

Re: [hlds] COUNTER-STRIKE: SOURCE BETA
I believe they are updating just for releasing it on the Mac (one engine is easier and cheaper to maintain). css players didn't ask this kind of update, they want the same old shit: CSS on OB won't feel right for a lot of them. This update has very little value for existing players, and will be a nightmare for server admins. Most of the existing exploits are already fixed using community provided plugins and workaround.

Re: [hlds] Ghostplayer Issue - Any solutions?
Hi, I've found a (partial?) workaround: clean your banned_user.cfg file and switch to SQL bans or something like that. Ghost players are added when a banned player tries to join the server. You can easily verify my claim: ban yourself by steamid from rcon, then try to join the server and you will see a nice new ghost player.

Re: [hlds] Map name not showing up in browser?
Yes, it's a problem related to source tv. Steps to replicate the missing map in A2S_INFO replies: in the command line args add +tv_enable 1 in server.cfg add tv_enable 0 or kick the TV bot. Another problem: starting the server with -nomaster or writing setmaster disable in rcon will entirely shut down the A2S_INFO Co. system (the server will work fine, you can connect via console, but will be completely invisible).

If i disable sourcetv with tv_enable 0,at next map map name disappears from servers list (favorites+public list).

try with this one http://www.wantedgov.it/gov/SrcdsQueryCache.7z?v2.1 in the previous version i left uninitialized a variable that tracks time, so that might be the cause of you not seeing any forwarding.

Blocking that query from the router will mean blocking people from joing from the server browser. Increasing sv_max_queries_sec_global to ridicously high values such as 9000 makes the server laggy.

It's a pain to implement, though, for a couple of reasons. First, the assumption by most on this thread is that it's a single guy operating from a single (or just a handful) of computers. They further assume that he's forging the source IP addresses so the requests look like they're coming from many many different machines. If this is true, there's no way to trace or block him based upon the information included in the packets he's creating. I think this assumption is wrong, as I'll explain below. Second, if this assumption is incorrect you need to find a way to identify each and every source and block them one at a time. Netblocks are at best a crude measure which risks blocking many legitimate clients. Such a process needs to be automated as much as possible or it's not effective. Now, why do I think that this is probably not coming from just a handful of sources? Simple. DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service, after all. Botnets are reaching incredible proportions. It's easy to rent as many as a quarter million compromised machines if you want to and you have the cash. Too cheap or too poor to rent someone else's network of infected PCs? No problem. Tools exist to build new malware and they're easy to come by if you're willing to start looking in the right places. All you have to do is build your bot code and figure out a way to get it loaded on 5,000, 10,000, or more PCs. After that, DDoS to your heart's content. Script kiddies do this _all_ _the_ _time_. So, when under attack your choices are: * Wait it out. * Work with your vendor to figure out a way block the attack in the first place. (Valve, obviously, in this case.) * Automate the process of identifying sources and filtering them out. * Cry a lot. Generally, I settle for a combination of the first and second options. If an attack gets bad enough, I work with my local ISP to implement the third. (My server is co-located in their datacenter and they're really good guys to work with.) Generally, some combination of tcpwrapper, netfilter, and iptables will do the job on my Linux server. Sometimes we find it easier to just block it at one of their routers so they don't have to deal with the traffic on their network. Every now and again, I find myself following the fourth option until I figure out what's going on and fall back on some combination of the first three options. :-) HTH. =JpS=SgtRock ___ 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
