A: Everyone will be getting assigned a new Steam ID and it will not be possible to convert old banlists. That, if I understand correctly, is a shame. I'm assuming that all bans from VAC will now be lifted??? Sad.. very sad. RoAcH --__--__-- The way I understood it, VAC bans were supposed to be lifted after a set period based on your number of violations anyways. Not banning users until 2008 for 1 infraction... Anyways, If VAC caught people for cheating and those people cheat again, then VAC will catch them again.

I think people ask this question inspite of having read that because it is so unbelievable, hoping for Valve to realize what a terrible idea this is and saying "hey, yeah, that's really not a good thing, we'll look into making LAN games possible without requiring an INet connection". The way it is now they don't need to have a LAN mode at all since it doesn't make any sense. In effect they are killing all LANs. Terrible, terrible idea. I don't like it at all. To be frank, I fing hate it. Addon and MOD developers now always need to have an INet connection running in order to test their stuff. This suxorz major time.

I hope there's a way to proxy the downloads via squid/mod_proxy, or whatnot.

[hlds_linux] auto team balance by skill requested in CS
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I would just like to request that a feature to auto team balance be made PART OF CS that works on skill - like the plugins. But I don't want a plugin. I want servers to just do it so it helps create a level playing field for both teams.

Re: [hlds_linux] Steam + LAN Gaming
According to the great words of agenthh: > The question still remains: will we be able to play any Steam games > on LANs? At all of my LAN parties, we don't have any internet > connections available. > A direct answer, please? The answer is no. If you followed the links Alfred posted, the answer is in there, and it's very clear. This is a quote steampowered.com: http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=faq&id=1050915505,27362300,1050915726,98098300 "Any Steam game, when played on a LAN or otherwise, requires that each individual client be able to authenticate via the Internet. At a LAN party, this means that Internet access must be available to every machine on which Steam games are being played." If everybody read the information provided before asking questions, well, there's probably be nobody left using this list... -Mad -- "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof.
