 I mean, cmon guys - in almost two years of "looking at alternatives"
 you've got nothing to announce when it comes to helping community servers?
 There have been quite a few viable alternative presented, to include this
 one:

 http://i.imgur.com/tAmWXj6.png

 I've really been a staunch defender of the TF2 team to this point, but
 this is just kicking all the good communities that are left while they're
 down.

 Honestly, by the time you guys make community support a priority again,
 it might be too late.

 Hey guys, with today's update we're introducing a few new
 features that will impact servers, and I just wanted to give
 you guys a heads up.

 There is a new quickplay category, featured, that represents
 the featured maps for a given campaign. In order to have your
 server in this category, you need to be running the mapcycle
 mapcycle_featured_maps.txt, and have the special string
 'featured' in your quickplay tags.

 Today's update also introduces contracts, which currently
 require players be on official servers to complete.
 Unfortunately, our current setup makes it very difficult to
 restrict features like this other than in an all-or-nothing
 manner, and we determined this was necessary to protect the
 system from immediate abuse.

 We agree this is not ideal. We are continuing the look at the
 situation with community servers and how we can better support
 passionate communities, but currently have nothing to announce.

 Makes sense due to it being a xen vps without any video card. (but it
 does
 show video is enabled etc.)

 Did you try running the redist file packaged with the server (I think
 it's
 called UE3Redist)? That installs some prerequisites (direct x, proper
 .NET
 version, etc). I can't remember the exact location, away from my
 computer at
 the moment, but if you search the servers folders for that file you
 should
 find it. Run that, and I think it will solve your problems.

start .\Binaries\win64\kfserver kf-bioticslab -ConfigSubDir=5

I had a similar issue with the command line earlier. I hope somebody

Re: [hlds] Desperately Need Some Killing Floor 2 Servers Up

[Brandon Mulligan]

Could somebody post a working command line with the "-multihome" argument?
As simple as it may seem I cannot seem to run more than 1 KF2 server right
now due to lack of detail on the Wiki regarding the command lines.

One would assume the following to work given the details on the wiki but
this is not the case for me:
start .\Binaries\win64\kfserver kf-bioticslab?MaxPlayers=6?GameDifficulty=0
-Multihome 192.168.0.1

Cheaters don't have to use a CC, that is more along the lines of the mass
idlers.

[hlds] [TF2] Bizarre Physics Behavior

[brandon johnson]

Over the past month I've noticed some bizarre physics behavior on my
server, namely rocket explosions seem to be launching people further than
expected. Here's a video detailing exactly what i mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7J22JCIBPA as you can see the scout is
launched far over the shed on harvest.

The only mod on the server is sourcemod, and we've seen the problem with a
default server.cfg file. All of the relevant variables I've found still
seem to be set to their default. After restarting the server, everything
seems normal but as maps change it seems to build up to excessive levels.

Is this an issue anyone has experienced or knows how to resolve?

Re: [hlds] Max FPS

[Brandon R. Miller]

I see, all our machines are boosted or running with HPET and other game engines 
that change the resolution to 1ms so just making sure we weren't going to have 
unexplained problems with srcds.

Henry is talking about plugins and other software that mucks with sleep calls, 
I believe.

Orangebox automatically enables the multimedia timer as part of its own 
operation (and has done so for a couple of months at least), requesting the 
highest (1ms) resolution, so no external software is necessary to enable it; 
however, it will not hurt to run other applications that also enable and use 
the timer. UE3 and Q3-based games (including CoD) do not request a lower 
resolution than 1ms, but if they did, that wouldn't hurt, either, because 
Windows would just use the higher resolution internally and approximate the 
lower resolution for only those applications.

On Windows, enabling HPET would be best with the new engine update, since it 
will result in less jitter. This is because Windows actually uses a 2ms 
resolution without HPET enabled, and 1ms with it enabled. Windows does not 
support a higher timer resolution than 1ms, unlike modern Linux kernels.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Available

Is L4D2 supposed to match players to servers in other regions? We put up 
20 servers in Europe and 90% of the players have 150-200+ ping, I traced 
roughly 10 of the IP's and all of them are from the US. The sv_region is 
set to 3.

Re: [hlds] Any official HLDS Material?

[Brandon Sharpe]

Well I can see your point on the wall, but it get so frustrating looking for 
answers when a single question has 15 different answers none of which are in 
any way the same. So you spend hours testing which one is correct to find out 
that cvar isn't valid for your server. Like one small issue I am having right 
now is that I seen with the DLC you could add greetings to the server when 
people enter and exit, kind of dumb but when they tell us of a new function but 
have no official docs to even give you a cvar listing of these new functions it 
ends up taking hours to search the net and find it.



So does anyone know how to set this item? Is it a cvar or a txt doc like the 
motd or what?



And in closing I would like to say this "I guess you can always hope for a 
manual though..." this seams to be the theme song for running an HLDS because 
in the end 90% of the time we can only guess on how to fix or run a service 
correctly.

Put your servers on that wall of text, it looks really stable.



What problems are you actually having though? Most of the cvars have 
explanations and it's the same deal if you want to setup a cs or cs:s server. I 
guess you can always hope for a manual though, start a facebook group or 
something, I'm sure you can find plenty of people that want one.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Available

[Brandon R. Miller]

Well not being able to query servers when sv_password is set is a major issue, 
our monitoring software doesn't think the server is running and will reboot it 
continuously.

  Right now my server is in co-op mode and the player list looks like this

  (5/4)
  1 player
  2 player
  3 player
  4 smoker
  5 boomer

  It thinks it's 5/4 so I cant join until the special infected disappear from
  the list.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Available

[Brandon R. Miller]

When 'sv_password' had a password set we were unable to query the server and it 
wasn't being displayed on the master lists. After removing the password the 
servers work fine again.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

Re: [hlds] Dedicated server/colo hosting

[Brandon R. Miller]

I was reluctant to respond but some things need to be made clear here.

Outbound routing is controlled by your ISP - meaning we have no control over 
INBOUND routing to our network. Savvis has been a major provider for our 
Chicago network for more than a year, the incident that occurred in late 
September was directly affecting the entire network and causing flapping to 
occur. Savvis was removed completely from the network until the issue could be 
resolved. That problem has since been resolved and Savvis was turned back up on 
the network. Since then there have been ZERO complaints about disconnects 
occurring.

We utilize the Steadfast network and I'm sure there are plenty of people on 
this mailing list who utilize or are familiar with their network. The network 
consists of four major providers; Level(3), Savvis, TeliaSonera, nLayer and 
your ISP is capable of routing through any of them. I highly doubt that all 285 
of your members route through Savvis, routing is different for just about every 
connection on the internet. Please go ahead and respond to your support request 
with the traceroute that was requested and I will compare it with your previous 
traceroutes.

Thank you.

  Branzone added inbound routing thru SAAVIS, which added 4 hops to the game
  servers.  Check routes to your server.  I did send a ticket and the response
  I received, check with your ISP.  When I know from a prior ticket that they
  had to remove the SAVVIS inbound because we were having not only high pings,
  but constant disconnects.  When we first went with a dedicated thru
  Branzone, they didn't inbound route thru SAVVIS.  Our community has around
  285 members, this is affecting everyone.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 Engine Update Released

[Brandon R. Miller]

I was referring to control panel software such as tcadmin who needed to update 
their query protocol. Because when the software (tcadmin) can't query the 
server it automatically restarts the game server (which would look like the 
server is crashing).

We had this problem and disabled the queries but an update has already been 
released that can properly query HL1 servers again.

  Several, which are all on the todo list to update.  However if its an 
  out dated server query that's causing the servers to crash it would need 
  to be fixed asap before the script kiddies/griefers figured out that's 
  what causes it.

Just out of curiosity do you have sometype of monitoring software installed? If 
so it probably needs to be updated to prevent it from restarting your game 
server because of the query change.

  Still getting crashes here after about 10mins on all our servers.

  No mods, liblist.gam is set to default settings.

  "bannedcfg banned.cfg" is in server.cfg and the file exists. I've 
  removed "exec banned.cfg" as well.

  After about 10mins the server will restart, no dump file and nothing in 
  the log file (It just cuts off halfway through an entry).

  Short of trying a completely new clean install for all servers I'm out 
  of ideas :-/

20 player server listed previously: "tv_enable" = "0"
13 player server listed previously: "tv_enable" = "1"

The 20 player doesn't have tv_enable 1 and it is set to 24 players instead of 
20 players as specified. The 13 player server has tv_enable 1, why exactly does 
this change the maxplayers from 13 to 25?

  I've tested this and the problem occurs when you run the update via
  'command' or 'cmd' or batch file. If you run the update from 'start > run'
  it's fine.

  To prevent this we have to delete the .BLOB files.

  To reproduce this simply goto > start > run > cmd > paste the update command
  line in the cmd window with .BLOB files existing and hit enter.

  It will 99.9% of the time download into the /tf instead of /orangebox/tf.

I've tested this and the problem occurs when you run the update via 'command' 
or 'cmd' or batch file. If you run the update from 'start > run' it's fine.

To prevent this we have to delete the .BLOB files.

To reproduce this simply goto > start > run > cmd > paste the update command 
line in the cmd window with .BLOB files existing and hit enter.

It will 99.9% of the time download into the /tf instead of /orangebox/tf.

  Subject: [hlds] TF2 server keeps skipping maps


  My Win32 TF2 server has all the TF2 maps in the stock sequence but since the
  last update it keeps skipping every other map, the following table shows the
  order that the maps keep going in:

  cp_gravelpit 1,4,7
  cp_dustbowl
  cp_granary 2,5,8
  cp_well
  ctf_2fort 3,6,9
  tc_hydro

  I manually changed to cp_well but the skipping resumed immediately on the
  next map change.

  SO, I created a mapcycle2.txt with a slight shuffle and now the maps run:

  cp_dustbowl 1,4,7
  cp_granary
  cp_well 2,5,8
  ctf_2fort
  tc_hydro 3,6,9
  cp_gravelpit

  so TF2 only likes odd maps at the moment ...

Re: [hlds] TF2 server Affinity issue, Memory leak & Performance stats

[Brandon R. Miller]

The control panel software I have will reset the affinity 5 seconds after it 
starts, thus allowing Windows to distribute the load between multiple cpu's. 
Before I enabled this feature all processes were stacked on CPU0, now all our 
multicore CPU's are even across all cores.

This is the same exact problem HLDS has, it will only bind to CPU0 unless you 
change affinity after it has started.

  Hi,

  I am using the following command line to download the content for tf2

  C:\Games\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir
  c:\games\TF1

  When I have a fresh install of C:\Games\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe the
  following file structure is created in my c:\games\TF1 folder:

  C:\Games\TF1
  C:\Games\TF1\hl2
  C:\Games\TF1\orangebox
  C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf
  C:\Games\TF1\InstallRecord.blob

  However, if I run the update a second time using the same command line the
  following file structure is crated with an additional tf folder:

  C:\Games\TF1
  C:\Games\TF1\hl2
  C:\Games\TF1\tf  <- new folder
  C:\Games\TF1\orangebox
  C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf
  C:\Games\TF1\InstallRecord.blob

  All the content is re-downloaded and placed into the C:\Games\TF1\tf instead
  of the C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf folder.

  Is this by design, or is there a problem somewhere thats causing this repeat
  of content?

  If I delete the C:\Games\HLServer\ClientRegistry.blob file, it happily puts
  the content back into C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf for one time only, then it
  goes back to putting it into C:\Games\TF1\tf

  Am I doing something wrong, or are other people experiencing this problem,
  if it is in fact a problem?

  Thanks

[hlds] Querying Steam Server List

[Brandon R. Miller]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
*** If this topic has already been discussed I apologize, I just joined the 
hlds mailing list again. ***

We are experiencing a rather alarming problem that I would like to get some 
insight on.

How do servers get queried in the Game List? Meaning what determines which 
servers get queried first?

We just got setup on a new subnet range where the first Octect is '208'. After 
further investigating servers appear to show up based on my personal home IP 
address rather than latency.

For example.

My personal IP begins with octect '70'. The servers begin to list in the game 
list in this order.

70.*
71.* and 69.*
72.* and 68.*
73.* and 67.*
74.* and 66.*
75.* and 65.*
etc.

Servers in the 200.* ranges do not appear in the list until the very end of the 
query. This appears to be the case for multiple people from my investigating.

When I set the following filters (Counter-Strike / US-East) it will sometimes 
take 10-15 minutes just for 200.* servers to show up in the list if at all. But 
if I switch the Location to US-West the 200.* servers show up much quicker same 
with the 'All' location filter.

Is there a reason that the game server list functions this way and if so why?

Thank you for any insight that you may have.

Brandon

Ahha your an idiot and cannot read a simple forum post.When I said there
was no command with tick or tic I was referring too the commands tickrate
and or ticrate.
Get it through your fuking head already there is no command for SRCDS with
any form of tic or tick in it.

Who in the fuck raised you, you are so stupid, you need to kill your self
right now.
You worthless piece of crap.Yet another case of the stupid trying to
make others think there not.

Can I be an asshole, yes I can. Can I be dumb, yes from time to time.
The huge difference between me and most of you, is that I can admit it when
I am.

Just give up on life already, everyone who is wrong about there statements
in this thread yet continues to argue there case needs to just drive off a
cliff.

I join forums for two things to get help and to give help.It would seem
that this forum is just like the steam and DOD forums.   People making posts
to make themselves look smarter and make others feel dumb and people who
have absolutely no lives at all.

Even though I have used many expletives to describe my disgust with those of
you who have so ignorantly exspressed them selves in this thread, I will no
longer perpetuate the stupidity that grows from it.  Good fucking
riddance.

I appoligise to Alfred and the adults who run and frequent these forums for
my expletive outburst's but I have simply had it with losers such as the
ones who have posted replys in this thread.

At 41 YOA and retired I no longer have the patience to deal with stupid
people.

Right, so let me get this right...

"There is no tickrate cvar for SRCDS"? This statement is correct unless
you are running mani-admin (probably an extremely large percentage of
SRCDS servers are).

"SRCDS uses the command 'fps_max' period". Uses it period for what
exactly? So tickrate makes no difference to CPU usage or fps? Fps_max
does matter, however so does tickrate...

"and yes it can only be utilised in the CMD line". Disagree. Have you
actually tried setting this in server.cfg or on the console? OMG it
actually works outside the cmdline!! Shock horror!

"there has never been any command tickrate ever". LOL... So the
-tickrate command is something all of us SRCDS admins make up just to
pass the time, and give us something to talk about?

You diss whisper, however it appears to all of us, that you have no idea
what you are actually talking about.

It's -tickrate for srcds in the commandline not ticrate (only place it

that one).

Because when I set it in the server.cfg the console says the ticrate

At the risk of incurring further wrath, I think Whisper was referring
to the command line switch for srcds.exe, which does appear to be
-tickrate and, if I understand correctly, the only place and only time



you can specify this setting for an srcds server is as a switch on the

This problem is really annoying and should be attempted to be fixed but its
been happeening since 100 tick was made avaible which confuses me.

It bugs how the doors sometimes cant open and will be all buggy and what
not.

Does anybody know the highest tickrate i can go without having door problems
or should i just set to 66 temporarily?

Does the default Internet security settings actually allow for the opening
of sockets? Just checking the .net SDK says that you need SocketPermission
to open a Socket, and WebPermission to make a HTTP request, and I'm not sure
either of those are granted under the Internet permission set.

Actually, just checking the .net configuration tool, I don't think either of
those are granted by default, but I haven't tested it. It's a bit hard to
phish someone's details if there's no way to actually send them to the
phisher.

Hmm If I remember correctly I installed .NET the last time I cleaned my box,

I do not see nothing extrange on that page:

Do you have the .NET 1.1 framework installed? An easy way to check is to go
to http://www.ventrilo.com/myip.php using IE. If you see something that says
something along the lines of ".NET CLR 1.1.4322" then you would have it
installed. I'm using a clean install of windows with default settings and it
launched for me, several others have tried it as well and it has launched.

[hlds] HL/HL2 HTML Motd Allows Execution of .NET Applications

[Brandon Hardy]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
There's happens to be a "feature" in IE that allows .NET application to
launch from the browser without any user intervention, since HL uses the
Internet Explorer control to render HTML it is affected by this as well.
Applications that are launched using this method are run within a secure
sandbox to prevent access to the system, and other security risks. The
biggest problem that I can imagine is that someone could possibly create an
application that looks identical to the steam login screen and use it as a
way of phishing accounts.



I have temporarily set up a server at 64.92.174.226:27015 to demonstrate
this. If you connect and have .NET 1.1 installed the application located at
http://64.92.174.226/hl/test.exe (which is totally harmless) should launch.

How would you use the .htaccess to only allow folder access from a given
server IP, since it is basically a web url based access?

It is amazing what can be done with that file, so I don't doubt you.
Posting how to customize it for a given folder and server IP would be
handy...I'm just wondering if a player doesn't need to have their own player
IP to access it however...which would open it back up to everyone.

This was posted on the Source DS (Windows) team forums.  POsting it here in

"ok a little problem is people being able to just type sv_downloadurl in
console and steal our links and use it on there server stealing our
bandwith.

I think valve should hide this when someone types it"

Yes there are ways for people to setup htaccess etc so only they can use the
folder.  But it sure would be nice if typing sv_downloadurl in the console
would return "**" like sv_password and rcon_password do.

Can you please pass this along Alfred?

That shows your server is working fine, it's just not able to report to
the Steam master servers, so it won't be on the server lists.

That is probably related to the following post from [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Thanks Kyrios for asking something I've just been to busy (or lazy to

Is the tickrate cmd set in the server.cfg like fps_max or a cmd
parameter?

Was just waiting for a reply to add the info that it is a cs:s Server ;)

Meanwhile I continued googling around and read about windows not using
high performance timers at startup and the workaround with starting
mediaplayer or another multimedia programm.

Unfortunatly I can't test it atm since it is a rented server and the
"admins" are offline ;)

I'll try it tomorrow and will let you know.

Also I've now notived that the mtnioned Steam-Support DB Article is from
march 2004. So it's propably for hlds.
This now fits to Alfred's earlier post saying that tickrate greater 100
can create strange problems.
I think the 1FPS Bug is one of those weird problems.


So what I will try tomorrow is:
- tickrate "100"
- MediaPlayer in the background.
- fps_max "greater 300"

I hope/think this will give optimal performance ;)

P.S.: Yes the post was confusing;) That's primary because I've been
really confused. I totally mixed hlds and CSDS information.

RE: [hlds] Invalid steam ticket - two legal accounts connecting to internal server

Hi all

Weird problem with invalid tickets recently myself.

After the latest 1.6 server update, everyone who connected to the server
got a "invalid steam ticket (1)" error.
The server itself was running from a "normal user" account.
Running the server from the "administrator" account fixed this problem.
Running win server 2003 standard ed.

Could someone please shed some light on this for me? I really don't like

So, I moved the account to another computer and it worked just fine.
And, interesting enough, I did NOT change clientport settings. Both
clients connect to my server just fine. Went back to the first and it
still did not work. There must be something about either the box or my
network config. The two that work are connected to each other via a
Dlink 1000mbps switch and gigabit nics (you ever transfer files from box
to box at 700mbps? Holy Crap!), and from there into my WRT54G. The
server itself goes into the WRT54G. The box that doesn't work is
connected to WRT54G via a Linksys WirelessG nic. There is no firewall
anywhere, and I don't see how it being a wireless connection would cause
this. The box is 20 feet from the router, and everything else works fine
on the box, including connecting to other servers out in the real world.
..Only problem is that I need it to work on the one box, so I
think I'll run a cable to it and see if it is the wireless connection
causing the problem.

If VAC2 does not deal directly with HL based games, for crying out loud

You can activate stats by installing one of the third party mods, such
as Mani Mod.  Stats are not a feature (yet) of HLDS.

RE: [hlds] Odd lag problem

Running mplayer2 with an avi loaded helps. Also increase fps_max, or
sv_maxfps I think it might have been.

I seem to remember a way to speed up your FPS on the server was to open a
seperate application affecting video (i.e. a flash animation).  I dunno,
trying to search my internal memory, but old age is getting in the way and
clouding it up.  Anyone else remember something about that, or is it just
me getting old? :)

I guess my point is, could it be related to that same video issue?
especially if the pings go down, WHEN you connect?

Also, have you checked out the performance on the box when the pings go
up/down?  Once again, old age getting in the way here, and I don't
remember if you said you were or not.  ;)

Thanks,
