Re: [hlds_linux] HTML In the MOTD
Thats strange. Our HTML windows motd still works. It's only an img src="blah.gif" but it does work. Validate your code?

Is the HTML being disabled a server by server thing? Or is it an issue with steam? I've noticed thats its only in windows based servers, the motds in linux servers still are functional...

Re: [hlds_linux] Redirect - is it going to work anymore ?
LDuke- Don't forget, this thread is named "Redirects" not "reserves..." We use reserves and redirects. People who pay for the hosting of the server are given reserve slots. Those people without reserves that were disconnected (before the update) were redirected to another one of our servers. If they didn't want to be redirected, they could purchase a reserve, which in turn, goes to our hosted server bill. As it stands now, we can still disconnect people who aren't paying for the server to make room for an "investor." In reality, that's good enough, but it would still be nice to redirect that person to another one of our servers. To me, allowing a server admin the ability to redirect a player is far less threatening than giving a server admin the ability to set the clients rates, etc. But whatever, we got a crate of lemons, time to go make some lemonade. -stuttering.john On 12/5/06, LDuke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] cl_restrict_server_commands blocks redirects which is probably a good thing. I can't think of a single time I'd want to be redirected as a client. It doesn't change reserver slots. Mani and other admin plugins can still implement reserverd slots and kick players that need to be kicked. On 12/4/06, john @ GamersCoalition <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's a tough cookie.

Re: [hlds_linux] Redirect - is it going to work anymore ?
It's a tough cookie. Valve shouldn't be expected to support/consider 3rd party mods, but the pub server provider community (i.e. "us") have grown to rely heavily on them. In our instance, the reserve slot incentive provides our sole source of funding for our public servers. In one form or another, our not-for-profit operation has been doing this since 1.x days. Without public servers, where would new CS:S owners play their multi-player game? If you're in the good fortune to own your own hardware on a high speed network, great, but most of us aren't. The current mattie eventscript work around does get us around it, but it's costing us pub traffic (the interface is NOT noob friendly). At some point, the bottom line is going to hit us, and we're going to have to yank our aggregate 92 public slots offline. Valve, unless you're planning on getting into the public server market (soon), I'm confident you're going to see the above trend, which ultimately will affect your bottom line. "Help us help you." Implement some sort of redirect functionality, or allow us, the good honest server admins, the ability to disconnect and connect clients. Kind Regards, [Mmmm]stuttering.john .gc "Together we spawn."

Re: [hlds_linux] Weapon buying limit per user
indeed, our server was exploited by the "glock fountain." it crashed our hosted dual opteron, 2gb, 1000fps hyper server. it's a buy-toss-buy (repeat until cash wrote: Can we have somekind of limiter on buying guns, for example 10 same weapons max per player? Reason why i am requesting this is that i recently played on a server which used dynamicpricing. 3 guys after few rounds bought glocks (costs 38$ each) with all the money they had and there was large piles of those at spawn. They used somekind of automated script so it happened in instant. The buying isnt problem but everyones fps really went down and playing because impossible. Any of you server admins who have used mani-admin to give pile of weapons know that the fps really goes down after that. Since according to stats, glock will cost around 1$ in the future, i sadly expect that we see more of this happening in the future and admins cant be around 24/7. -ics ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- [Mmmm]stuttering.john .gc "Together we spawn."

[hlds_linux] How does DWP work?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi Alfred, We're currently trying our best to support and endorse the dynamic weapon price feature on our active pubs. The clients are getting restless, and our "just give it time" stance isn't gaining us much more ground. In order to argue for this new system, I find it essential to know the following about the algorithm: - does the market include all srcds servers, or only servers with mp_dynamicpricing 1? - does the market include all srcds servers regardless of mp_startmoney? And if at all possible, could you please suggest that the discussion link posted on the algorithm page link directly to an "official" topic/thread. The string DWP is too short to search with, and "dynamic weapon pric" only yields 4 topics. I'd love to see an actual conversation among server admins that ARE endorsing this feature and see if we can help improve. Thanks, [Mmmm]stuttering.john .gc "Together we spawn."

Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike: Source and Source Engine Update Released
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well put. It sounds like we're in similar standing (re: connections, web hits, etc.). It must not be apparent to the development team that the CS:S community is losing market share to WoW, BF2142, and other multiplayer online games. VALVe, you've got access to the traffic data. Look at it, please. If you're not concerned with the game popularity, why continue to release updates? Your continued development clearly suggests you'd like to continue to see the game grow, but you're making it extremely difficult on the communities that support it. Unless, of course, you're intending on running your own servers, charging, and becoming a WoW-business model. You're not. Right?
