[hlds] The new tagging system
Well, it's here in a way that seems to have been suggested on the list. Is everyone satisfied with how the new system is set up? Personally, I feel the Custom tab was a great idea but because it was universally hated amongst server operators, it didn't work. This new tagging system has the same chance of failure if everyone doesn't conform to the guidelines...which are simple: 1. Tag your server. I just wanted to make sure that everyone who's running a Vanilla server start using the tag 'Vanilla'. I fired up TF2 as soon as I had a chance and noticed how much more difficult it is to find a Vanilla server than it was before. Now that all the servers are back in one tab, it's literally like finding a needle in a haystack if you're looking for a Vanilla server. Also, please tag your server if you have Insta/Short respawn times, increased max players, alltalk, low gravity, all crits, no crits, birthday/party mode, etc. You no longer have to add all of this info to the title of your servers. I'm coming to all of you as a player, not a server operator. This is what everyone here wanted, so now let's see it in action. I hope this shapes up quickly because it's draining the fun out of the game hopping from server to server once I realize that Random Pub is insta-spawn and the next 15 I go to are, as well. I'm not trying to knock anyone's preferences, I'm just telling you what I prefer and how difficult it is to find that...and I'm not alone. A thread has already popped up on the forums regarding this issue. It's being requested by your communities and customers now, so I hope that's enough motivation to make this thing work. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=716255 Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Re: [hlds] The new tagging system
First off I'm sorry if this message is all garbled up. This is a new email client. I do think this is a great idea. No reason to not use tags now. I'm actually looking forward to setting this up and removing the items from the hostname. Now I'll have more space :) -AO -- Well, it's here in a way that seems to have been suggested on the list.

Re: [hlds] The new tagging system
I've already tagged all my servers as soon as everything else was up and running, I have also removed the tag blocker. Now people can actually search for my servers using the tags! Thanks Gabe Co. On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 2:47 AM, Sebastian Staudt [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: I think a vanilla tag (or something similar) should be forced by the engine. If you don't change anythin the tag is automatically set. But if you change any essential settings or install a plugin the tag is removed (and cannot be set manually). A second hardcoded tag should be something like custommaps. If there are custom maps in the mapcycle, this tag should be set. IMO Valve should quickly add a auto-tagging feature like that. At least before dozens of plugins implement their very own way of doing something similar... leaving the player helpless again, because every plugin uses different tags etc. 2008/8/20 Richard Eid [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, it's here in a way that seems to have been suggested on the list.

Re: [hlds] Lovin the Heavy Update
Maybe it was lag but I was spec'ing a heavy eat a sandwhich and he went straight from almost real small red bar to over half his health in one move (and then to no health since a soldier found him [and apparently really wanted that sandwich]) Either way, the sandvich is cute and all but it kind of ruins it for me. It really SHOULDN'T easily stop you from dying while on fire, has no one noticed the only way to kill a heavy as a pyro mano-a-mano is to sacrifice 90% of your health? and that's only if you're sneaky enough to start attacking them before they shoot you. And not dying from being on fire is what dispensers and medics are there for. [??R] The-/iller wrote: The sandvich heals in 4 parts i believe, with every munch or so?

The new maps are nice, but I hate payload, and am really not into arena so it's like a waste to me. Oh, and I hate steel as well, so really there's nothing I'm very impressed with.

Re: [hlds] Lovin the Heavy Update
You're still standing around unmoving for a while, and you have to sacrifice your shotgun entirely to use it, meaning your only defense is the slow-to-spin-up main gun. I've seen complaints about nearly every new weapon so far being overpowered (backburner, airblast, ubersaw, etc), and yet I am having tons of fun in the game every day. - Neph On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 12:06 AM, tgnwells [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe it was lag but I was spec'ing a heavy eat a sandwhich and he went straight from almost real small red bar to over half his health in one move (and then to no health since a soldier found him [and apparently really wanted that sandwich]) Either way, the sandvich is cute and all but it kind of ruins it for me.

[hlds] Glitches I have found:
Ok well theres been a few glitches that we have found so far. Fast Spawn Servers - Arena mode will respawn people. um In the new PL map, when in the first tunnel with the cart, heavies can get stuck in the roof.

Re: [hlds] Glitches I have found:
The respawning in arena isn't a glitch. It's a plugin that the servers have. They just hook the player_death event and respawn them after x seconds.

Re: [hlds] Mass client crash...
I have seen clients crash when right when the setup ended. if it was the soucemod removing the weapons causing the issue i would think that it would crash the servers not the clients.

Is everyone satisfied with how the new system is set up? Personally, I feel the Custom tab was a great idea but because it was universally hated amongst server operators, it didn't work. This new tagging system has the same chance of failure if everyone doesn't conform to the guidelines...which are simple: 1. Tag your server. I just wanted to make sure that everyone who's running a Vanilla server start using the tag 'Vanilla'. I fired up TF2 as soon as I had a chance and noticed how much more difficult it is to find a Vanilla server than it was before. Now that all the servers are back in one tab, it's literally like finding a needle in a haystack if you're looking for a Vanilla server. Also, please tag your server if you have Insta/Short respawn times, increased max players, alltalk, low gravity, all crits, no crits, birthday/party mode, etc. You no longer have to add all of this info to the title of your servers. I'm coming to all of you as a player, not a server operator. This is what everyone here wanted, so now let's see it in action. I hope this shapes up quickly because it's draining the fun out of the game hopping from server to server once I realize that Random Pub is insta-spawn and the next 15 I go to are, as well. I'm not trying to knock anyone's preferences, I'm just telling you what I prefer and how difficult it is to find that...and I'm not alone. A thread has already popped up on the forums regarding this issue. It's being requested by your communities and customers now, so I hope that's enough motivation to make this thing work. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=716255 Thanks for taking the time to read this!

You can go back and forth. It works perfectly fine, just make sure in the config_arena.cfg that you comment out any lines that won't apply to your server (and that probably means all 3 of them.)

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question

So server,cfg gets executed, then, if it's an arena map, config_arena.cfg gets executed. Any conflicting values are overwritten.

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
You can follow this guide for the initial installation, it works well. http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfullid=1097362093archive= That error there is likely caused by a firewall blocking the connection out to the Steam servers to retrieve the updates. I don't know what port it uses by default, so you'll have to excuse me for not having that information. If you are sure the firewall isn't blocking outbound, you could try deleting the clientregistry.blob in the directory and trying the update again. If the machine running the SRCDS server has a local firewall, you will have to allow traffic through that firewall to run your server. Otherwise, as long as all systems have full communications to one another (if behind one router) you won't have to worry about opening ports on the router, unless it filters traffic on the LAN both ways, then you'll have to do a little more configuration to get it working. 27015 TCP/UDP should be all you need for a LAN server.

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
If you go to the guide, it's in the same area as setting it up to reboot on crash, where it has the underlined portion. You can also set -nocrashdialog and it will get rid of *most* of the dialog box crashes. So your command line might look like this. srcds.exe -console -nocrashdialog -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 +sv_lan 1 Charles Chang wrote: Thank you!

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
Ok, so now I'm having a different problem. I got cstrike downloaded following the directions. But when I try to run the srcds command nothing happens. I also tried to run the srcds.exe to see if a GUI would show up but nothing happens. Oh, could it possibly be that I don't have a server.cfg file? In the cgf folder under cstrike, there is no server.cfg file. The directions said to edit (or create) but if I create, how do I know what to put in the .cfg file?

I'm not sure what batch file you are referring to. The only batch file in the directions was for auto restart of the game if it crashes. I didn't think that batch file was necessary to run the game.

Re: [hlds] The new tagging system
I wouldn't be against the idea of servers coming pre-set with a 'Vanilla' tag by default, but only if there aren't any more shenanigans with falsifying the tag info. For example, John Doe decides to get a server going, so he downloads it, adds some custom gameplay elements, then uses a plug-in to keep the server with the only tag of 'Vanilla', while short/insta-spawn and low gravity, among other things, remain in play on his server. For everyone who is going to play by the rules, what do you feel should become of those that skirt the system now? Would delisting be a fair solution? For those that will NOT be properly using tags as intended, why not? In my first e-mail in this thread, I posted a link to a thread in the Steam forums in which a server op said that he's not going to use tags purely to bring more traffic to his server. How do you all feel about this now? As a player, it's frustrating because it's basically a glimpse into the near-future and that glimpse tells me it's not going to get any better as I'm sure he won't be the only one who will do it. I guess there's going to be some falsifying of the tag info no matter what happens, but it'd be nice to keep it to a minimum. Also, for everyone that's responded here, thanks for making me feel better about going into the server browser now. It looks like it's not going to be that difficult to find the games I am looking for, save for the few holdouts who don't care about tricking people into connecting to their servers.

Re: [hlds] The new tagging system
The problem comes in when servers put in ALL tags. Valve, this didn't solve much. Seriously. Either a blacklist on the client side needs to be applied or the ability to filter OUT the tags we don't want (though that would mean that no one would put any tags). *sigh* This didn't solve much unless you are willing to take action against those people (or allow us to) who advertise features on their server that doesn't exist.

Re: [hlds] The new tagging system
It wasn't vanilla because it was instant respawn (that I can prove) and no crits (I can't PROVE it, but the 5 mins. I played there, I didn't see 1 crit anything). So no. It isn't vanilla. If you advertise Vanilla, turn off instant respawn and (if it's off) turn on crits. GOOD DAY SIR!

Re: [hlds] The new tagging system
That's the problem with vanilla. I'd call my server vanilla, but we do run custom maps, so others wouldn't.
