It's 5:25PM at Valve right now so it's not that late for them yet.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 servers losing Steam connection

[Brent Veal]

Steam has been going down for me personally quite a bit for the past couple
of hours. Maybe it's related.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 + sv_password + fps_max

[Brent Veal]

If you change sv_search_key then no public lobbies will join. I find that's
the best way to keep my servers private.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d2 errors

[Brent Veal]

I've seen this happen a few times before on my server. The only solution
I've found is to give the server a restart and everything should be fine.

Re: [hlds_linux] anything wrong with l4d2 master server?

[Brent Veal]

I've had multiple players mention invisible survivors & tanks since the
Sacrifice update. Alt-tabbing or start/stoping a demo doesnt correct the
issue.

[hlds_linux] [L4D2] Server crashes on map change somewhat regularly

[Brent Veal]

It seems that on every map change, there's a 10% chance that the server will
crash and give this error:

Mon Aug 2 16:47:23 CDT 2010: Server restart in 10 seconds
email debug.log to li...@valvesoftware.com
cat: hlds.14132.pid: No such file or directory
./srcds_run: line 336: 23490 Segmentation fault(core dumped) $HL_CMD

This happens with or without my addons on, I've done a fresh install a
couple of times but it still happens every now and then when the map
changes. Anyone seen this before or know of a solution?

Re: [hlds_linux] The passing crashes servers after yesterdays L4D2 update on Linux

[Brent Veal]

I can recreate this error when I have this VPK loaded in addons:
http://ll4d.net/infectedforl4d1maps.zip

That addon in particular fixes zombies looking incorrect when playing L4D1
custom maps in L4D2. With this VPK loaded, the model error occurs most of
the time when loading the map in coop mode, but sometimes I was able to load
the map on the server with no problems.

Re: [hlds_linux] The passing crashes servers after yesterdays L4D2 update on Linux

[Brent Veal]

Definitely see if removing all your custom campaigns out of the addons
folder works. There have been a few issues with custom campaigns since the
original Passing update and it seems like not all of those issues have been
fixed yet.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 mutation cvar

the command 'map c1m1_hotel mutation12' will start a realism vs on Dead

you want to test out some future mutations

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 dedicated server not being populated

sv_search_key will limit your server to only allow lobbies that either have
that key set, or use the mm_force_dedicated command. If you want your server
to be open to the public, you should remove the search key.

Re: [hlds_linux] No-clip Left 4 dead props in Left 4 Dead 2 a server issue?

I ran the update and got the new pak02 files, however it made things worse
when trying to run campaigns that use those extra props. Running them on the
server has everything showing wireframes and none of the props are solid.

Re: [hlds_linux] No-clip Left 4 dead props in Left 4 Dead 2 a server issue?

I believe that the addon tool you get through Steam adds thosee pak02 files
so perhaps that is what those are. I'll have to check it out when I get home
from work.

Re: [hlds_linux] No-clip Left 4 dead props in Left 4 Dead 2 a server issue?

[Brent Veal]

Some L4D2 custom campaigns require the L4D2 Add-on Tools that you can get
locally through Steam, but as far as I know these files arent available for
dedicated servers. So some of those maps become unplayable on a dedicated
server since some important objects such as doors can be walked right
through by players and zombies.

I use that all the time and have no issues connecting to my server.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_steamgroup => terribly pain

[Brent Veal]

If you dont want public people joining, then give your server a search_key.
That'll make it available only to lobbies that have that search key set.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_password l4dead2

[Brent Veal]

As far as I know, there is no workaround to get a proper password on a
server. Best you can do is set an sv_search_key so public lobbies cannot
gain access to your server. We need an update from valve to fix the password
option, but it's probably not very high on the list of priority fixes.

though.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 sv_cheats?

For whatever reason, Valve patched out cheats in the demo shortly after it
was released. The only way to have cheats on is to just load a map locally.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 host banner

[Brent Veal]

Yes, I believe that's what they're talking about. However, it seems that the
host.txt banner no longer displays on the scoreboard after the player
initially joins the server. I could be wrong on that, I havent looked very
closely myself.

Setting a search key will block a normal lobby, yes. Take the search_key out
of the cfg and you'll get lots of random lobbies joining your servers

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 demo bots take up player slots

[Brent Veal]

I've noticed the same, however when it's 4/4 with less than 4 human players,
there's no problem with other people joining. It will temporarily bump up to
5/4, then the survivor bot will be booted once the player takes over.

Well the PC boxart for the presale that was printed weeks ago said the demo
goes live at 11PM PST. It's possible that the 1PM PST time listed on the

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Versus server

[Brent Veal]

if you're setting sv_gametypes, I believe the value should be "versus", not
"vs". Also try setting mp_gamemode to "versus" and see if that works.
Although it should really switch to versus right away as soon as you join
from a vs lobby

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead Update Available

[Brent Veal]

In VS mode, it seems that the server crashes 50% of the time when someone is
incapped, especially by a witch. Right before it crashes, the last line in
the console log is always someone getting incapped. This is happening with
the most recent SourceMod and no extra plugins at all.

When I try to change the gamemode using mp_gamemode, it doesnt work and
returns "unknown command". However, I run a few plugins that use mp_gamemode
to function, and they're all operating properly as far as I can see.

I havent tested it, but I'm told that ms_force_dedicated_server has had the

At the moment, Valve only cares if you use an external program to grind the

Are you changing sv_gametypes in your server config? Doesn't sound like

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d steamgroup exclusive behavior after 6/25 update

[Brent Veal]

No, if the server has a search key set, then the only way a lobby can access
it is if the leader inputs the correct key. No random lobby will find it
otherwise. It's been like that pretty much since day 1. Stevo was correct in
that if the lobby leader has a blank search key, he will only search for
servers that also have a blank search key. In fact there's been a number of
discussions on this list on how to work around having a search key on your
server as well as letting public lobbys access the server since it doesn't
work that way by default.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d steamgroup exclusive behavior after 6/25 update

[Brent Veal]

With the search key on, our servers are only used by our members. With the
search key off, the server will fill with a public lobby pretty much
instantly. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work that way for your servers, but
that's how it works for us and most other server admins I've talked to.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d steamgroup exclusive behavior after 6/25 update

If you have a search key set, then a lobby can only access it if they know
the key. Our group has 5 servers that are kept private just by simply having
the search key enabled on them

There have been a few people saying that its not working since the last
update. You could always set a sv_search_key to keep it private and only
your private lobbys can access the server.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl

The current system was picked because it works best for the 360 version.
They obviously didn't have the time to come up with an entirely different
system that would work best for the PC version

Scenerio 2 isnt impossible. If you try to join a server that has a map you
dont have, it can easily send you a message giving you the URL found in the
VPK

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl

[Brent Veal]

The lobby leader needs the VPK file first. Then they make the lobby for that
particular campaign. When people who dont have that campaign join, they are
offered the ability to download the VPK with the link that is in the file
the lobby leader has.

At least I think thats how it goes

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl

[Brent Veal]

How are map hosting sites going to feel about the new system? If they use a
bunch of bandwidth with people directly downloading the map files without
actually visiting the site, they're losing a lot of potential ad revenue. It
could potentially mean that they dont allow any downloads external to their
sites, which would put us in the exact same situation we were in before this
update.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl

[Brent Veal]

The problem with making sv_downloadurl the primary source is that to access
it, you need to have everyone join the server first. So if, say, 4 out of
the 8 players need to download a 100MB VPK file first, you'd have a half
full server until they all manage to download and install it

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl

[Brent Veal]

You could host the VPK file separately on your own hosting server, then give
out the link to anyone in the lobby if their default download is taking too
long. Thats what I do for custom maps right now, if l4dmaps.com is slow, I
give people a link to my own site with the files

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead Update Available

It would be nice to at least have the option to download through whatever
the server has sv_downloadurl set to. So at least that way you'd know that
everyone in the game has the same map version as the server does.

Re: [hlds_linux] Specifying a dedicated server in L4D

I believe that 1013 is the current version number for L4D. If there are

change your search key accordingly.

Re: [hlds_linux] Still seeing the team scrambling bug?

[Brent Veal]

I believe that there's a Team Unscrambler plugin for Sourcemod. I havent
used it so I don't know how effective it is. There's also a Player Switch
plugin that lets an admin swap players to whatever team you like.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 idle achivement servers

[Brent Veal]

Valve has a lot more important things to do than figure out how to make
absolutely sure that people are playing the game 100% properly to get
unlocks. If people want to take the time to just sit there in an achievement
server to get a couple of weapons, I dont think that that's a huge issue.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 idle achivement servers

[Brent Veal]

Then people would go into achievement servers and put "+forward" in console
so they're constantly moving. It wouldn't change anything, really.
