RE: New Beta Counter-Strike Server and HLTV
Since the beta upgrade I have had 2 crashes on my CS server (Prior to the beta upgrade it hadnt crashed once since upgraded to 1.1.0.8 and CS1.3). It crashed once on Sep 27 and again on Sep 29 on maps de_dust and cs_backalley respectively. The last line of the logs for both crashes was: Error NUM_FOR_EDICT: bad pointer Anyone else seeing this behavior? I can live with 2 crashes in 72 hours. No problem with that at all. :-) The occasional DoD crash still happens with no apparent reason listed in the logs. -- Ken Kirchner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assistant System Administrator : Tel (318)222-2638 ShreveNet, Inc. : Fax (318)213-2650 ShreveNet - Your Premium Internet Service Provider!
Re: Where to find missing resources?
a lot of these files (but not all) are found in the pak file in the valve (or other mod) folder (of half-life client) and can be extracted with wally or something so your server can use it too. valve didn't include these files in hlds cuz they thought it would be including too much of the retail software and the single player map files...

Re: Where to find missing resources?
Ok, what you appear to have here is a mixture. The majority is from your default TFC install in the valve and tfc pak0.pak (s) and some custom maps stuff I dont recognise. Also theres some CS stuff and I dont know that either but i see its different. Get a hold of pacscape (or wally, not so good, or any pak editor EXCEPT pak explorer) and check the pak0 in each mods root folder you have an instal for and Im guessing thatll give you most of what your looking for. By what I recognise you will be able to check off at least 85% of that stuff as present, esp the majority of the gfx/env stuff, and the sounds, vox and fvox stuff. The shorter list will then be easier to track down specific items. Maybe you could post back then if your still in trouble finding some things.

It's pretty obvious that much of Half-Life's success is due to third party development, and it's for that reason that we spend so much time supporting them. We think it's great the Punkbuster team has championed the effort to combat cheating in Half-Life. Working together with the whole Half-Life community on any kind of cheat prevention software just seems like time well spent. The more people that take up the cause to combat cheating, and the more Valve can do to support those people, the better off all of our customers and server admins are.

RE: PB issue-why dont we let this die?
Hey guys, my 'boycott' suggestion only had one purpose, and the suggestion was made kinda tongue in cheek anway. I didn't think anyone would take it all that seriously. The only reason I suggested it was to get Valve to respond to the major question: Are they anti cheat, and are they going to support PB, or make anti-cheat a higher priority? We were all left wondering what Valve's position is, as there was no information forthcoming. Again, the only reason I suggested what I did was to extract a comment from Valve about this current high-priority issue.

Shut all our serversdowntoboycott? And I'm surprised that you could be so narrow minded. Sad...very very sad. What I've done at my level doesn't concern you. I've worked with CS before you knew it was a mod. So, since you're so nitpicky today, let's reverse the role: ---For starters, most of the 3rd party developers with major projects (not the simple scripts) are not little kids and we're not asking for money. I still haven't read anywhere from Tony that he was after money. This is nothing but an assumption and interpretation of his news post.-- Not an assumption. Take a look at his post. Business venture, company name...a bit of deductive reason would show the simplest mind what this is about. --- That's unfortunate, because HLDS still has issues from versions back that still need addressing. I'd rather see quicker patch releases with fixes than longer patch releases with new features and a new slew of bugs. If a boycott campaign were initiated, I doubt that it would just be with this list. There are many ways to reach the server admins out there. Heck, we could always just run HLDS and AdminMOD, set the # of users to 1. Then, set a MOTD to display as the player is connecting. Set the mp_timelimit to 5. Then renmae the hostname to something like Valve Boycott (url). I suppose that the AdminMOD is optional. That may be a better way than just shutting down the server. It'll provide more information to both the players and other admins.-- You could wish to see anything you wanted to. The fact is, Valve has supported this game and HLDS LONG after it's release, when it didn't need to. You're not respecting the effort and time that's been put forth, and it's sad...again...very very sad. You're taking this me me me attitude when the last time I saw that happen I think I was 4 years old myself. -- I think that you're missing the overall issue here. Although, I don't have all of the facts regarding PB's issues, based on past experiences, I do know the typical reaction of Valve to help out 3rd Party developers, or even the MOD developers and mappers. It is the fundamental principle of Valve not helping or implementing the requested fixes and features that their clients request. Also, the priorities are a little shifted. Another silence isn't going to help their reputation either. I don't know how much development you have done with the SDK. But, Ronin, running an information site like UA or counter-server is a completely different realm. It is a lot easier.-- Since when do you know fundamental principle of Valve? Did you get hired there? Are you their marketing/pr person? Give me a break. If you'd like to talk about assumptions, friend, there's one staring you in the face. Again, I see here a selfish attitude that says I want it and I want it NOW. How about YOU make something like HL and do what Valve has done. I didn't think soand as far as 'just running an information site'..more assumption. Again, you have no clue what I do, nor have done. Simply because my name is attached to Counter-Server doesn't mean jack, but it certainly implies some things that a closed mind might not see. -- Those are some pretty ignorant and lame comments
HLTV request
I just recently re-signed up on this mailing list - if this issue I am bringing up has already been hashed out, please forgive me. Small request - that HLTV be able to reconnect on it's own without user intervention to a HL port that has crashed and been restarted within a short amount of time. I run a couple counterstrike ports and when hlds.exe inevitably crashes, I have a small DOS script that restarts the port within a couple seconds, no big deal. However, HLTV cannot tell that the port it was monitoring was brought back up, and eventually quits. There are some server operators out there I'm sure like myself that would like to run a HLTV proxy to a match port or public port 24/7 but cannot because of the current limitations with HLTV - unless they constantly monitor their server manually all the time.

Announcement: GameGuard
Two hours after we heard that Punkbuster will change to commercially product we decided to start our own fully free cheat protection project. HERE A COPY OF OUR FIRST STATEMENT ON OUR PROVISIONAL HOMEPAGE Welcome to the provisional homepage of GameGuard. Have you ever thought about fair-play? Have you ever been stark-staring mad about other players kicking your ass because they were cheating? Wouldn`t it be cool if there was a FREE tool to stop those cheats from ruining your favorite game? A FREE tool that will be always be FREE, now and in the future? Well, join the club ;). Forming a united capable and dedicated team, we have started a project to change this poor situation. The result of our project should be a simple-to-use-tool for gamers protecting them from cheaters, rewarding their honest attitude toward gaming. A tool to find and eliminate cheaters from our game servers! For further information, revisit gameguard.clanhosting.de soon. Soon we will also have information about our new international home. We are working on it, right now. Experienced and interested C/C++-Coders are kindly asked to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will hear from us. Soon. That's for sure! September, 27th, 2001 The Crew SHORT TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The GameGuard Project will be a client-server-based tool that will be able to detect cheats in online games. We have done some brainstorming about how to keep such an project uptodate, enabling it to detect all used and working cheat at any time it is used. We have come to the conclusion, that an open source approach towards this proble would result in the shortest and fastest development stages - that would, however, also mean that the main concept of the system would have to be absolutely safe. To our minds, such a safe concept cannot be achieved in the first steps of development - we will however in the process of development try to reach the needed level of security and will hopefully (if possible, using such an open system like Windows) reach it. The complete release of the source code in this early stage of development would give the cheat developer the possibility to easily program fake clients - and it would also mean giving away lots of our internal knowledge to the cheat developers. With that in mind we have decided to choose another solution. The Game Guard system will, after its completion, include a plugin-system. that will most likely be realized via some sort of script language. Thus it will be guaranteed, that an unlimited number of external developers can contribute to cheat detection, WITHOUT the source code of the project being released. They can easily contribute by coding cheat detection scripts for cheats they know and send them to us. The GameGuard system will consist of 3 different components: 1.) Game Guard client The gameguard client will be installed on the PC which also has the game to monitor installed. The client will work similar to a virus scanning software, detecting the means and goals of certain programs or files on the hard disc or RAM, reacting to certain actions triggered by cheats or certifying the authenticity of certain game files. The client can also perform complex actions that it receives via scripts of the servers. After completing the script the client will send back a result to the server. The scripts received by gameservers will only be accepted by the client if they include a digital signature of the GameGuard team. By that we will make sure that noone can open up a server, binding own scripts to the client and by that can spy on players on the server. 2.) GameGuard-Server The GameGuard Server monitors one or more game servers and waits for connections of clients. If a new connection is noticed, the server will send various scan scripts to the client and will check the results. The server also receives all bits of information on events reported by the client itself. The client itself will never make the decision, if a cheat has been found or not, on its own. It simply reports everything to the server, which makes the decision. In reply the server might send further scripts to the client to check certain things it may consider necessary and relevant. The GameGuard server will normally run on the same system also running the game server. 3.) GameGuard Base The base is the headquarter, the central for all server. There will only be a few bases; all Servers will login to the bases to check the availability of new updates for the detection of new cheats. Normal GameGuad clients will only once login to the base after they have connected to a gameserver, to check
Re: LANPARTY
Please, please lose the ALL CAPS!! You may want to give the hlmaster program (http://hlmaster.sourceforge.net) a try. What you would do is install and configure it on your lan and then point all of your servers and clients to use it much like a pub server uses the WON master servers. You would change the master server IPs in the /valve/woncomm.lst file. I have no idea if this would really work, just that I think it's worth a try. At least I'm under the impression that this hlmaster can be used like this. Maybe someone else on the list can verify this?

RE: LANPARTY
The simplest way to achieve your goal is to bind 1 IP address for each HLDS server to the NIC in the server machine. Then, use +IP in the command line you start each server with. This will allow all the HLDS servers to stay on port 27015, and this should allow all the LAN clients to see all the servers in the LAN browse list. Any additional IP addresses you bind to the NIC need to obviously be of the same subnet. For example, if your server currently has an IP address of 192.168.1.2, I would also bind 192.168.1.3, and 192.168.1.4. If you don't know how to bind additional IP addresses to the NIC on your W2K box, follow these instructions: 1. Right click My Network Places, select properties from the context sensitive menu. 2. Right click Local Area Connection, select properties from the context sensitive menu. 3. Select Internet Protocol, and click properties. 4. Click the Advanced button 5. In the IP Addresses box, click Add 6. Enter an IP address and the subnet mask of the current IP address 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have 1 IP address for each HLDS server Now, for each HLDS server you will launch, use: HLDS.EXE additional parameters 'This will bind automatically to 192.168.1.2 HLDS.EXE -game modname +IP 192.168.1.3 additional parameters HLDS.EXE -game modname +IP 192.168.1.4 additional parameters Try this and see if it works.

Where do resource and other files go?
I'm adding several maps to my server, and I have the following files: *.BSP *.WPT *.WAD *.WAV *.BMP *.TGA I know where to put the BSP and WAD files. I think the WAV files go in HALF-LIFE\VALVE\SOUND. What about the BMP and TGA files? Where do they go?
Re: Where do resource and other files go?
*.BSP modname/maps
*.WPT delete, waypointfile for bots
*.WAD modname/
*.BMPmodname/delete
*.TGA modname/gfx/env
*.WAV
eg. if you have a wave file named dummy.wav
open the *.bsp file with an hex editor or a goot text editor
use the search function to find dummy.wav
the position you find dummy.wav should looks like
{
origin -1544 1928 256
targetname ffsdfsd
pitchstart 100
pitch 100
fadeout 0
fadein 0
volstart 0
message ambience/wwewe/dummy.wav
classname ambient_generic
}
you should copy the wave file to
modname/sound/ambience/wwewe/dummy.wav

Re: Where to find missing resources?
I believe that a lot of the resources that resgen pulls out of the .bsp files are located in .WAD files. More specifically, the standard TFC WAD file which contains a lot of generaly used entities like the ammo packs. I believe all other mods work the same as well. I could be wrong with this, maybe someone else can verify it?
