Re: [hlds] Re: Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
Even with updated SM 1.11.0 git 6920, my TF2 servers are segfaulting on start. Remove MM:S & SM they start-up normally. Tried removing everything that was throwing an error in the console (some SM exts and plugins), but still segfaulting with SM enabled.

[hlds] TF2, Swissmas, Mann Co Sales, etc?
@Valve ... Anybody know the timing on "sale" of various in-game items (TF2 in particular) this year? In the past, some items would go on "sale", before the Holidays, but would not be "usable" for another two weeks! I ask, because it's getting close now. In the past, I've bought a bunch of "Pile O' Gifts" before Christmas while they were on "sale", and had give-aways on the game-servers leading-up to, the evening before, day of and several days after Christmas. I seem to recall at one point we bought them, but couldn't "use" them in game in-time for the Holidays, because of the delays put on using newly-acquired items (probably intended to prevent trading exploits, etc.). The solution is really to put them on "sale" earlier, rather than later.

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 process as embedding map-specific .TXT files, materials/textures (.VMTs and .VTFs, custom sound files, etc. However, I noticed today that when I fired-up TF2 to do a test-run of a new map, that it said (at runtime) that it couldn't find the map-specific CFG file? Sure enough, none of the settings I normally include in that map-specific CFG file were being set (such as tf_allow_player_use 1). Not sure when this started, but I did verify that the .CFG file *IS* definitely included in the .BSP file. I am not having other issues with custom textures/materials and/or sounds. They are all displaying and playing correctly. So, I went back and ran some other maps I have compiled and distributed previously, and had been working, and noticed they are now exhibiting the same symptom. Did Valve make some change to how it finds/executes map-specific CFG files? RECENTLY? I am not sure when this symptom first started. But, I just noticed it TODAY. Anybody else having / noticed similar issues?

[hlds] Mysterious text-chat gag?
Anybody else seeing times where their players are effectively gagged from using in-game text-chat - even though that have NOT been gagged in SourceMod? Several of my players reported this symptom recently. I thought they were vote-gagged or something in SourceMod - but they weren't. Today, it happened to me. The only fix was to restart the SERVER to get it to allow me to use in-game text-chat again. Weird. Not sure if it's a SourceMod thing, or something more basic going-on with HLDS. PS: This is experienced on a TF2 server hosted under Linux (Debian 6). Not sure if symptoms would also be experienced on Windows-hosted servers. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Yes, but no changes to that recently, and no flood-warnings, or actions showing in the SourceMod logs related to flooding.

I believe the advertised regular maintenance window for Steam is 4:00 PM (Pacific) every Tuesday. Of course, they don't always get started right at 4:00 PM. The TF2 release was announced at 4:26 PM (Pacific). Yes, to be fair, today they apparently did not get started on the Steam maintenance until 4:54 PM (Pacific).

[hlds] TF2 MOTD Browser
I personally haven't noticed the reported symptom on my own TF2 servers (which run a very simple HTML MOTD right now). But, as a player joining other servers (yes, I do play on servers other than my own), I have noticed it. I did some testing with changing the URL that one of my servers was directing client's to for the MOTD, and noticed something interesting ... ... It appears that TF2 (or the underlying game engine I guess) is just wrapping whatever the client operating systems default browser is. I re-directed to several publicly available browser detection/http headers troubleshooting sites (Google browser capabilities), and it displays (in game as that web-site) that I am running Chrome. If I exit the game entirely (and Steam entirely I think), switch my default browser back to IE, and try it again ... It shows (in-game using that page) that the browser is IE. So, it sounds to me like it's less of a Steam/TF2/game-engine issue, and more to do the content-vs-browser rendering - and that experience might be somewhat different depending on which browser is the OS's default. I have also noticed, that (as also previously reported), sometimes if you just wait there a few extra seconds (against instincts) the content does display (or start to display in the case of pinion - since you may still be waiting for video buffering). Anyway, hope that helps with any troubleshooting. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] SRCDS not honoring -steamport parameter any more?
First off-, thanks for the replies. A couple of follow-up questions, for anybody who may know ... Original information [clarified]: I have been using these parameters in the command-line for some time [years], to explicitly specify what ports to use for the [client/server] game communication and another for Steam network communication: +port 29016 -steamport 29116 Regarding first reply: From: Roman Hatsiev otst...@gmail.com These are clientport and tv_port. For some reason srcds uses steamport+1 instead of steamport. I would have thought that for any additional client port (beyond the port the game runs on, and the designated steam communication port) would be dynamically assigned - not hard-coded like that. I would think that client port would be the port I am specifying the game to run on. Weird. Not sure what you mean by steamport+1? If I set it to 29016 is it using 29017 instead? When did that start? Regarding second reply: From: ics i...@ics-base.net You have another server eunning that is using those ports. Actually, NO - at least not intentionally. I have 13 games concurrently running on this server, and EACH has been explicitly assigned it's own unique ports (2 each, 1 for game and 1 for steam). In this case, 29016 for the game, and 29116 for Steam. Those in-turn are allowed in the firewall (in-bound anyway, for outbound everything is basically allowed at the moment). - Thanks again!

[hlds] SRCDS not honoring -steamport parameter any more?
I have been using these parameters in the command-line for some time, to explicitly specify what ports to use for the game and for Steam communication: +port 29016 -steamport 29116 Those ports are explicitly open on by firewall, etc. While troubleshooting some other issues (that I think are un-related), I noticed these errors in the logs: WARNING: Port 27005 was unavailable - bound to port 27006 instead WARNING: Port 27020 was unavailable - bound to port 27021 instead What are those ports all about? Is it not using the -steamport parameter? or is this yet more communication of some other form? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Bruteforcing RCON
Rafael - RCON is just completely/inherently insecure, which I am sure by now somebody else has pointed-out in detail. If somebody hasn't said so already, just disable RCON, and use server-side mod instead: --- AMX-Mod-X for old GoldSrc engine games (HL1, TFC, CStrike 1.6, etc.) --- SourceMod for Source/Orangebox engine games (HL2, TF2, CS:S, etc.). In addition to providing a lot of functionality without having to send commands to the console, they both also have their own RCON-equivelant way of accomplishing that to. And, authentication is generally based on the behind-the-scenes SteamID of the player - which (in theory) is already secured (Steam tickets - kind of like kerberos by the sounds of it).

[hlds] Drop in users
Below is a Labor-Day-2011 to Labor-Day-2012 graph, with both TF2 and CS (1.6) for comparison: http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graphjstime=1appid=440q10from=131520600to=134665560 Looks like TF2 actually got an artificial spike in early September - probably due to MvM update. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
[hlds] Limit replay use to list of specific SteamID's?
I was going through all the Replay-related details on the TF2 Wiki (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Replay), and it seems that Replay and be either On or Off for all users. It is currently possible, or being planned/considered for server administrators to be able to limit Replay usage to a particular list of SteamID's (maybe in a server-side .cfg / .ini file or something)?

Re: [hlds] Limit replay use to list of specific SteamID's?
Re: Limit replay use to list of specific SteamID's? Actually, I'm more concerned about capacity management on the server. I would only want a handful of privileged users (no, I don't charge anyone, or even ask for donations) to mess around with it. I haven't played with it myself yet, but I've heard it can put quite a load on the server in various ways (bandwidth, disk space, etc.).

Clients will be able to Quick Match, Play Online, and Play With Friends when they want to play a game. You will still have access to the traditional Message of the Day for your server. For Left 4 Dead, we've added a banner ad you can create that will be displayed to clients when they're playing on your server. There is also a ranking system to show the popularity of your server.
