> The orangebox engine games (Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike:Source, Day of > Defeat:Source, HL2:Deathmatch) are being upgraded to SteamPipe. 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! > > (And remember, playtime in the beta counts towards item drops in the > release game.) > > - Fletch > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
