Re: [hlds] Coming Soon BS...
It's possible that when it was put in they felt it would be released soon enough. It was added to Coming Soon before they had decided to completely redo everything instead of just porting it up. Removing the icon at that point would have probably been worse with people freaking out and saying it doesn't exist (more than people are doing now I guess it'd be).

Re: [hlds] Coming Soon BS...
I'm holding out more hope for Fortress-Forever at this point if we want any semblance of a TFC: Source. Granted the FF people are making minor changes, the core gameplay is promised to remain. In that I still play the original TFC, I'm definitely looking forward to anything either Valve or the FF crew can get out to us. stalker333 wrote: Ruiner, Thank you for pointing that out, I started playing TFC and still do, would LOVE to see a TFC port. However, valve has pretty much poo pooed all over that idea, in favor of TF2. Which is fine with me, at least they don't CLAIM we'll get TFC:S. Though they never said we wouldnt get TFC:S either, if I remember right. That's not the case with DOD:S. Funny thing about all this is, part of the reason (small part, but still) that I started playing DOD more often, was I thought it would get better support than TFC. It does, I mean, at least DOD:S is coming at some point, but here I am still looking at coming soon. Meanwhile CS:S is being updated every other week. That, as penn and teller would say, is BULLSHIT. -Smurf ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

RE: [hlds] Half Life server problems
I don't see any point at all hiding your external ip. Why you have a firewall is to protect and hide infrastructure on the INSIDE. And if you list your server ip maybe someone can try to connect and help out. As long as your router doesn't have a loop-back, you have to connect to your internal IP adress. http://showmyip.com/ check that you have the correct ip. You don't have to forwards ports manually if you have set your computer as a DMZ in the router. But you do have to open the ports in the firewall if it doesn't open that automatically. Some do, some don't. Your dedicated server will show its IP adress, not the IP of your router. People on the inside will still be able to connect to the internal server if you have forwarded the port correctly or set up DMZ to your server. I hope some of this helps for now. Maybe some pro's will help you out later, and correct me if im wrong. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: 16. august 2005 04:36 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] Half Life server problems I'm having severe problems with my server, listen or dedicated.

Re: [hlds] SRCDS Mod Wanted
Mattie's event scripts http://mattie.info/cs/ is a great plug in that can do what you require and a lot more. I use it in conjunction with beetlesmod and together they can handle nearly everything. Beetles http://www.beetlesmod.com/forums/ has a great feature (not sure about manny's don't use it) where you can give anyone who shoots a team mate a set amount of damage within a set time after freeze/buy. I have mine set to give 100 damage to anyone who shoots another 4 seconds after buy time and it is funny as hell when you see one of those guys come in and try to tk everybody only to die themselves. Usually they are only able to do about 20 damage which still sucks but isn't bad. There are also settings to mirror damage to the ff offender after so many instances of shooting team mates. There is a great script someone wrote for Mattie's that will bring up a menu asking a rate offender to change their settings or leave. The only down side is the two big admin tools manny's and beetle's are becoming so bloated it takes longer to disable features than to turn on what you want. With Mattie's you just add what you want or write it yourself, it is a very nice and versatile tool. Hope that helps.

Re: [hlds] Possible hack
correction here, hlstats and hlstatsx do not REQUIRE rcon for stats. The UDP stats capture system (hlstats.pl) does not require rcon to collect data. You can enter the rcon command into the server box and this will allow the live view connection to work, which uses RCON through php. cheers, raggi.

Re: [hlds] Possible hack
It is however the case that on most webhosts, if you store the rcon password in the database and all of the install files in your web folders, that any other user on the system can read your database details, and then next read out the rcon password. For more information on this google on apache vhosts and mysql passwords - it's a VERY common problem. Next, are you sure that your HSP are not repsonsible? Are the boxes otherwise secured?

Screenshots only go so far. Come 3 years we'll all be saying, Hey man, can you wait for doom 5? The graphics engine is amazing. And we'll reply, Nah I'm still waiting for Day of Defeat Source. Now is the time for valve to rise up and actually get some work done. Give us a game that some of us ordered and do it in a timely fashion. Is that so much to ask? Wasn't all this just covered in another thread?Maybe I'm mistaken.I dunno just a hunch.

Re: [hlds] Possible hack
I control the whole physical box alone and have been going through the event logs (2003 Server SP1 etc.), I see nothing unusual. I will be going through any new logs very carefully untill I know what is going on exactly. I'll keep you posted.

I'm a stats whore. :) That and the people I play with enjoy seeing their rank on a web page up to date as soon as they leave their game, even if they don't use the in-game commands.

RE: [hlds] Possible hack
sorry, I should have stated Hlstats and HLstatsX require rcon to be used to their fullest potential - my apologies - I just assumed no one would ever use either package without rcon. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Tucker Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 2:14 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Possible hack correction here, hlstats and hlstatsx do not REQUIRE rcon for stats. The UDP stats capture system (hlstats.pl) does not require rcon to collect data. You can enter the rcon command into the server box and this will allow the live view connection to work, which uses RCON through php. cheers, raggi.

For more information on this google on apache vhosts and mysql passwords - it's a VERY common problem. Next, are you sure that your HSP are not repsonsible? Are the boxes otherwise secured?

[hlds] Client crash at verifying resources
Had a couple of complaints of people not being able to download custom content from my server. Some can, some cannot. Myself included. The client crashes at verifying resources and returns to desktop with no error. A bit of investigation has led to me finding out that it does not happen with everyone. When it does occur with a client, it only occurs on VAC2 servers and not VAC1 servers that have not updated. It also only occurs if custom content is missing and would normally be downloaded to you. The only things new are the steam updates of the last 2 weeks (server currently running: v1.1.2.5/Stdio 3213 secure and my own pc having internet explorer 7 installed. I did wonder if ie7 could cause the problem. Although there are reports of the same problem at the steam forums, the numbers are relatively low. But then it only happens on VAC2 servers and not VAC1. I don't fancy a re-install just yet so any suggestions would be helpful.

Re: [hlds] Client crash at verifying resources
I doubt this will help, but this is our case: Our server is using VAC1. Same this as you describe is happening to about 100 peeps. This is what fixed our 100 issues. Let Steam update 100%. Most peeps just connect and play. Steam will work at 80-97% of updating. As soon as we allowed the clients to update 100%, what is described below was fixed for US. --- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Had a couple of complaints of people not being able to download custom content from my server.

[hlds] SV_DownloadURL
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I recently decided to check my sv_downloadurl and noticed two things happening. If I removed the .BSP map from the Server (Webserver) the map with the .BSP.BZ2, downloaded but then reported the Map.bsp was missing. When I went back and reviewed the client it was evendent the Map.BSP.BZ2 althou sucessfully downloaded did not go into the client directory for MAPS. So Second test. I loaded up the Map.BSP and the MAP.BSP.BZ2 on the Web Server. I notced that both downloaded. The Map.BSP was there in the client Directory. Almost seemed like putting the .BZ2 on the HTTP Server was serving no pupose. Is anyone else seeing this happen and how to stop the double download and only download the compressed file. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
