Well use your packet sniffer and filter for TCP & UDP traffic to & from the server Address and see what you can see. It ought to become immediately apparent what is happening.

RE: [hlds] HL2MP - getting started with rcon
Rcon documentation resources are somewhat sparse - and there seems to have been a change to the rcon protocol between HL and HL2, shifting from a completely udp based mechanism to a combined tcp and udp protocol. http://wiki.hlsw.net/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=HL_2_Rcon_Protocol Someone correct me if I am wrong.

No worries Mikee... :-) I dowloaded HL Server Watch and waited until someone got banned. And like expected it had all the Steam ID's in it when a bann occured. I removed all through HLSW and klicked on Update and Write. Now the banned.cfg was empty, but when I checked after an hour it was loaded whith all the ID's again!!!

Re: [hlds] new command, -tickrate.
As was posted earlier, it is a launch property command line flag ONLY, and is used like -tickrate 85 (default is 66Hz).

RE: [hlds] How to empty banned.cfg's cache
The "cache" is not stored anywhere. It is loaded into memory from the banned.cfg file and may also be added to or subtracted from using the addid or removeid commands.

RE: [hlds] How to empty banned.cfg's cache
Then you are doing something wrong. Is this a lan server or are you banning by ip maybe? Do you exec a different file that contains bans in server.cfg? Are you sure the hlds process is exiting? Basically if hlds is not running and you delete banned.cfg there is nothing to recreate it, in a default hlds config. >You can also modify banned.cfg manually if hlds is NOT running. > >Ex: >1) Stop hlds >2) modify and save changes to banned.cfg >3) Restart hlds > >Note: If you modify banned.cfg WHILE hlds is running hlds may recreate >the file, especially if someone new is banned, and overwrite any changes >you made. *** Also tried that, even had the *** banned.cfg removed completly so it *** had to regenerate a new banned.cfg. *** Still no luck. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

RE: [hlds] How to empty banned.cfg's cache
From: "Deadman Standing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In CS1.6 they are stored in banned.cfg . You can use removeid to remove a player from banned.cfg and use writeid to store the current list of banned players to banned.cfg . Ex: removeid STEAM_0:0:23452345 writeid *** I tried that. *** And every time I write listid it seems OK, but *** next time the server starts up they're all there again You can also modify banned.cfg manually if hlds is NOT running. Ex: 1) Stop hlds 2) modify and save changes to banned.cfg 3) Restart hlds Note: If you modify banned.cfg WHILE hlds is running hlds may recreate the file, especially if someone new is banned, and overwrite any changes you made. *** Also tried that, even had the *** banned.cfg removed completly so it *** had to regenerate a new banned.cfg. *** Still no luck. -Original Message- It doesn't matter how many times I try.
