Re: [hlds] Holidays, Pile o' Gifts, War on Swissmas

I don't recall this hassle this year, so I am presuming it's new for this year. In fact, I seem to recall the Pile o' Gifts going on-site either Christmas Eve or Christmas day for $10 instead of $20 last year? Seems to me it does not really "solve" any issue with credit-card fraud. But thanks

[hlds] TF2 "system messages"?

2018-07-13 Thread Mecha Weasel
Was on my server tonight, and I saw something pop-up in the chat like ... "System Message: The items and matchmaking servers will be off-line for 5 minutes" I have never seen anything like that before. I'm pretty-sure I don't have a plug-in that does that. Is that some new unannounced

[hlds] TF2 not executing embedded map-specific CFG files?

2020-10-16 Thread Mecha Weasel
I've been doing this for years with custom maps: * Compile the map as usual. * Create a map-specific CFG file for it (i.e. same basefile name as the BSP + .cfg). * Use the lump-editor in VIDE or similar utility to embed the .CFG file into the .BSP in the /cfg virtual folder. * Basically the same

PS: I have only tested this (so far) on a Windows TF2 "client" (where I typically smoke-test a new TF2 map before uploading it to a "dedicated server" - typically Linux-based). However, I have never encountered this issue before. On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 7:18 PM Mecha Weasel
