Re: [hlds_linux] Where is my traffic coming from?
Perhaps these players are looking for specific 24/7 servers and the current
system doesn't cater to that. Most new players prefer consistency in maps.
That's why 2fort is so popular.

It means that the sheer number of valve's quickplay-eligible servers is outshadowing _many_ communities (as judging by the messages in this thread), and the server market is being over-saturated to the point where communities basically have a hard time getting a foothold unless there is an established playerbase that is large enough to sustain the server with very little traffic influx. Ultimately, it means communities likely won't bother with event servers as a result of no traffic anyway... and this will rebound very rapidly in the opposite direction.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds_announce] Mandatory update released for TF2 SteamPipe beta; now interoperable with regular game
That's the game data being out of date. Iv played around with SM for steam
pipe.
Everyone will need new game data and sound plugins that were relative to the
sounds folder may need to be updated. So I suggest updating MM and SM before
the move then letting game data auto update to avoid crashes on start.

Oddly enough, the problem resolved itself. I've restarted the server a
couple of times while trying to figure out the correct place to put my
custom maps and at the end of it, I could join just fine.
Go figure.
Now it's crashing when someone joins but It seems to be related to
Sourcemod, so I'll seek help there.
Thanks for the time!

Fletch,
I wanted to bring a bug to your attention. You guys probably already know
about this, but I thought I'd make you aware of it.
Boot Camp matchmaking has the capability to connect to servers who have
passwords set. This results in a rather frustrating 20 minute wait,
followed by a Bad Password error and the need to re-queue.
Please ignore this if it has been fixed.

We made some changes in today's update to make MvM player counts in the
server browser make as much sense as possible within the current framework.
Here's how it works:
Bots should do not show at all in any client-visible way. (Although,
they still show in the status output.)
sv_maxvisibleplayers is slammed to 6 + {number of spectators}.
In this scheme, your server appears to have space if a player can join
and play on the defending team, it appears to be full if this is not the
case. The existing server browser framework does not make it
straightforward to clients connected as spectator from the player count.
This logic was the best compromise.
One final note: We discovered a small problem with today's update. If
you have replay enabled, the above logic will think replay is a spectator
and your server will show 7 max players. We'll fix this in an upcoming
update.

This is tricky because the call must be made from a thread managed by steamclient.so library, not from server's main thread. For Windows probably is same thing. There's a manual solution too: find the port used by server for talking with CM server (usually is 26901, but only if is not already used) and use the firewall to block the communication. In few seconds you'll see that the server loses connection with Steam servers. Then remove the firewall rule and the server will reconnect back in few seconds, probably to a different CM server, maybe using a different protocol (TCP instead UDP). -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of bottige...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 3:52 AM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Reconnect to steam command?

Re: [hlds_linux] Replay Crashing Me
Turns out my web host's server is down for a file check, the one server im on... This same kind of crash has happened when replay cant connect to my website. The fail safe of disabling replay doesnt stop the crash, however replay being disabled is logged. The crash comes after. Local http is better anyways, its not that much bandwidth.

Sent from my iPhone 4 On Jan 4, 2012, at 1:15 PM, Fletcher Dunn fletch...@valvesoftware.com wrote: Today the Team Fortress team took action to bring certain server operators into compliance with our previously announced honest server policy. Examples of server modifications that resulted in this policy include: * Running bots and trying to make them appear that they were human players * Running bots and circumventing or modifying the usual mechanisms that the bots are advertised to the server browser * Running with significant gameplay modifications, such as respawn times, without having the proper tags on their server designed to alert quickplay and automated searches about those modifications. We have not taken action against individual servers, but rather against an entire related server group. Hopefully the necessity for this policy is clear. We took two different actions, depending on the severity of modification we found: * Preventing IP addresses from logging a TF gameserver account, which excludes them from quickplay. * Delisting IP addresses from the master server (server browser and Quick Match system) for one month. Finally, we would like to say thanks to the server operators who have continued to run honest servers, and to those who heeded our earlier warning and subsequently changed their practices. We thank you for that. We hope that our actions today show that we want to help you compete for player traffic on the basis of providing a good environment for players.

In this perspective, I think that excessive modding that makes the game not fun is a valid reason to report - just like abusive administrators who freeze other people in place and noclip to grab the gifts themselves. On the other hand... well, if you don't like it, don't play on it. It would make sense to propose the user to report a server right after being forcibly disconnected (something Valve's working on IIRC), but allowing users to report any server at any time is probably asking for abuse of the tool. --bp ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Report abusive servers from the main menu
No, but they can dock them in points appropriately for providing a poor experience to gamers on their servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] Dota 2 Dedicated Servers
I think Valve is running all the servers for Dota 2 but who knows for sure. That would be a first. It doesn't sound like the type of game that would benefit from community hosted servers like TF2.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Request - Join Steam Group button a'la L4D2
Yes, this would be helpful. Instead I was forced to create a script to invite users on request. A feature to let admins open the overlay instead of the MOTD window would also be helpful. It is more robust and doesnt interfere with the game as much. Players can open and close it without losing the page. However, thats up for abuse, but nothing that cant be reported.

It'd definitely help new servers more easily gain a following and do a better job of integrating users into the communities of their favorite servers.

I'm kind of surprised this hasn't already been done already, but that (and the MOTD server banner) were my 2 favorite things about running L4D / L4D2 servers. I loved that players had instant and direct access to joining the server's steam group, for those players who enjoyed being there and wanted to be apart. Blacklisting and reporting and so on are great for removing bad servers. But it would be awesome if some tools could be added on the other end of the scale, to allow players to add servers they enjoy playing at. There's already the add to favorites pop-up when you leave a server, perhaps add that option there? Or something on the scoreboard when you're in spectator mode? Or the MOTD as well? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
