Re: [hlds] Problems caused by connecting server favorites to IP address
If a datacenter tells you moving your IP space is impossible, they are flat out lying. If that was the case, how would they assign more IPs when you order them? Not a single datacenter we work with it has any issue bringing up our IPs anywhere on the their network.

When people upgrade you usually change hosts because the old ones have gone bad so you cannot keep IPs. My experience with most hosts is that they may let you upgrade your server, but they will not fix their network providers, add ddos protection, or reduce your costs so you stop paying $200/month because that was the standard price 4 years ago. I think what we need to do in order to get this implemented is to understand why Valve has ignored this request for so long. This isn't rocket science or as difficult as implementing Source3, so the problem must be because Valve doesn't think this will improve anything.

I even proposed various workings for that (via steam group memberships to have a specific tab / option to show them in favs). But its been on deaf ears for years now.

Re: [hlds] Problems caused by connecting server favorites to IP address
* VPS = VDS * In a typical VPS setup, each host is assigned a block of IPs, and you are issued an IP from that block. So if you wanted to move your IP, they would need to move the whole block, and since they have other customers on that block, it's not happening. You could setup your network to where you can bring any IP, in any block, on any server, but as far as I know only SoftLayer runs that type of network. On 9/28/2013 5:57 PM, Bottiger wrote: For small customers (not GSPs), they don't want to deal with the hassle. For example, we''ve talked to NFO and they said they are unable to move IPs to a VPS because it is automated. When a server is provisioned their system probably automatically edits the routing table to point to the proper location. This can of course be done manually, but they still decline to do it. This concept extends to other hosts. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

The separate Source SDK app is not used for these tools. Please see this bug in github: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/8 That bug has the instructions for how to install the tools, and comments about what may or may not work.

Re: [hlds] Pre-release updates available for CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2:DM
So will this pre-release build be updated all the time and then you will do a single update on let's say Monday? On 4/26/2013 1:48 PM, Fletcher Dunn wrote: We're trying out different way to release updates that will hopefully reduce disruption to your communities. New builds are now available for the client and dedicated server for CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2:DM. These builds have the same PatchVersion and are network compatible with the current build. (It's an optional update for servers.) To obtain these builds, you need to opt into the prerelease beta. To opt into the prerelease beta on the client, right click on the game in the game list and select Properties, select the Betas tab, and select the prerelease beta. (This is a public beta and does not require a password.) To select which branch to sync the dedicated server to using steamcmd, you need to pass -beta prerelease to the app_update command. For example, if you are using a SteamCmd script file, you might have something like this: login anonymous force_install_dir cstrike app_update 232330 -beta prerelease quit (I am told that it is possible to pass the -beta switch on the steamcmd command line, through some magic combination of quoting, so you can avoid having to create a script file. Hopefully some kind soul will figure out how to do that and share it.) Switching between two steampipe branches is really fast and easy, so if there's a problem, you can switch back quickly. (Opting out of the steampipe beta was really painful because it was switching between two entirely different content distribution systems --- that will never apply again.) If no big problems are detected, we'll make these builds the official build on Monday. Our current plan is to always keep the prerelease branch active, even if it is the same build as the main branch. This way you can stay opted in.

Steam's new-and-improved content delivery system. SteamPipe is currently used by most games on Steam. This change will impact server operators in at least two significant ways: * You will use steamcmd instead of the HLDSUpdateTool to install/update the server. * The conversion will entail significant changes to the way the files appear in the local filesystem on the server and client. The client no longer uses GCF files. Instead, most assets are packed up into VPK, and those VPKs are the same on the server and the client. The server no longer uses 1000's of loose files. We're using the TF beta to test these changes and identify the bugs, and give everybody a chance to make sure their favorite mod or plugin will work in the new system. Everybody is encouraged to download the TF beta! We've prepared an FAQ that discusses the details of the change and answers the questions we anticipate: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491 Please report gameserver related bugs in this mailing list. Client bugs can be reported through this mailing list, or in the TF beta forum. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1038 Thanks for your help, and happy testing!

Re: [hlds] Massive lag (5-30 seconds) associated with Steam auth ticket has been canceled
Essay, Are you located in the US or elsewhere? Test IP? Pilger, It might be the network. I've looked over the network carriers and the only non-Brazilian carrier is Cogent, which is known for terrible connections. If VALVe doesn't have any Steam servers in Steam, that may happen because Cogent is crap. So basically, my theory is, lost connection to steam for a bit = forget about other network connections and start dropping steam users to protect it from spoofing.

Re: [hlds] Dah! No Half-Life / Valve
Add +map de_whatever to the command and the custom map will load and therefore, start your mapcycle. On 10/14/2012 12:07 PM, Paul Williams wrote: Hi there. Yes, sorry was too tired to bother earlier. ZZzzz. (Aside: I am still having trouble with mapcycle.txt seemingly being ignored, but will look into that later. I took out all the standard maps and have just one custom one. However it still seems to end up back on the standard maps!?) Anyway, with regards to the problems you folks helped me with yesterday: The upshot was, as suggested by many, I should NOT use the GUI!! I know, I was told, but I am a Windows man! The GUI told me how many players, CPU use etc... Sigh What really threw me was that it (Half-Life) was just simply missing from the GUI options. That combined with the 'fail to start' of the command line server (without start-up map!) made me think that there was some corruption in my Valve directory somewhere. Also being a noob, I did not realize I had to have the 'map whatever' entry in server.cfg. I assumed it would just automatically use mapcycle.txt and start at the beginning. I am currently using a batch file to start the server. It just contains: S:\HLServer\hlds.exe -console -game valve. I read somewhere it can be run as a Windows service? I am not really keen on having an 'oops-I-closed-it' server window that at a glance looks like a command window. May look into writing a Windows Service wrapper for it in VB.NET. Once I had got the server up and running I spent an age trying to get 'sv_downloadurl' to work, in order to have custom maps etc. download at a decent speed. It turns out Microsoft IIS gives a 404 error for file types which are not in its known MIME type list. In the end I just added a new MIME type with: Extension '*' - type 'application/octet-stream'. Took me a while to realize this issue was IIS, I just assumed I had done something wrong in the HLDS server config. I think at some point I also had a missing trailing / on the url in the server.cfg file. This MAY have also stopped it working. Hard to remember with so many 'edit-try-edit-try' recursions! Then, before I could leave it and go to bed, I just had to fiddle a bit more. Here is the final server.cfg I ended up with. Any comments welcome J (Q. There was an RCON password setting in the GUI. Am I supposed to have this set in the server.cfg now instead?) //BEGIN sv_aim 0 sv_clienttrace 3.5 pausable 0 sv_maxspeed 320 exec listip.cfg exec banned.cfg maxplayers 32 ip 91.235.58.128 map ag_crossfirexM sv_cheats 0 hostname BanzaiBob's Half-Life Server net_maxfilesize 9 sv_allowupload 1 sv_allowdownload 1 sv_downloadurl http://www.pencoedfarm.co.uk/hlserver/valve/; sys_ticrate 800 sv_contact banzai...@live.co.uk sv_maxrate 0 sv_region 3 hpk_maxsize 0 sv_send_logos 1 sv_filetransfercompression 1 sv_send_resources 1 //END Cheers folks! ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

It’s just a tool to help you find people that can potentially cheat and you can just check the STV demos then to confirm that they cheat or not. The most detections for a single person in the less timespan you will find in the log, the more likely he is using a triggerbot. Prediction hacks: I guess this is what will interest most people on this list, it detects the crit hacks that does 100% crits all the time which is an engine exploit which has been added into many hacks lately. It's also used for various no spread/low spread hacks. The detections get printed to a log called TriggerBotDetections.log in tf/ (and are also sent to me) on EVERY MAP change or when all players have disconnected from the server. It’s important to note this otherwise you could loose all the detections (especially if your server automatically restarts every night). There is a simple reason for this: writing in a file while you play can cause lags, especially if someone is getting detected a lot.

Add to that all the additional servers that went up after F2P went live, along with a pretty cluttered release schedule of new PC games (BF3, etc.), and I think what most operators are seeing is simply a symptom of less public players overall, and too many servers - not a problem with quickplay. With only 40k or so TF2 players to go around, if you haven't built up a relatively large group of regulars, you're going to be struggling. We've seen a downturn as well (although, not in our UK-based servers, only in the US), but it's simply moving toward where traffic levels were prior to F2P/quickplay. Personally, I think operators that have been relying solely on quickplay to fill their servers are going to have a tough go at keeping full servers from now on (unless, of course, Valve has another big update up their sleeve to kick TF2 in the pants again). TF2 is a 4 year old game - and without a large group of regulars already built up, I doubt I would launch and TF2 servers today. Building consistent traffic takes a ton of time and dedication - even when a game is new. Quickplay is a crutch, and if your servers can't fill without it, you're already sunk.

What rules *WE* enforce should be our business, shouldn't it? So we've got a large ban list of trolls, dicks, hackers, etc. People often do not like us for actually enforcing our rulesand want to hate on us. We have a decent player base who support us and like that we take an active and often hardline approach toward the isms (racism, sexism, ageism, etc.) as well as toward trolls/dicks in general. Will valve investigate and actually consult with the server owner/community? Do I need to start doing demos, screenshots and recordings of folks spewing all of the hate speech and rule breaking just to cover my back? I ask this because compared to some other servers, we *ARE* a little more strict than other servers. So with this new subjective aspect, it has me wondering what's to come. And why now? Free to play was implemented, which allows even more anonymous trolls to make account after account (and even change their IP as well), and now I gotta answer for banishing groups of them off my server? This may just be the end of our servers, as I never thought, as a server owner, I'd have to answer to Valve for the server I ran when I am not violating any terms of service in doing so.

Some guidelines (both for users and server operators) might be beneficial, both to keep down the number of nuisance reports, AND help the server operators to stay in compliance. It's all well and good to say that Valve reserves the right to ban servers/IP's for abuse, but without knowing what the rules/guidelines are, it's giving operators an invisible line and telling us don't cross this.
