[hlds] Does Left 4 Dead use srcds?
Just a question I know a few admin's may have, is Left 4 Dead using the orange box engine or at least an advanced version of it? If so I assume that it will be somewhat compatible with the tools we currently use, MetaMod etc. Also will the dedicated server client be released with the demo? I think this would allow for some great feedback before the full version is released.

Re: [hlds] Does Left 4 Dead use srcds?
I don't think there will be dedicated servers. It's only 4 player coop. The players will open a listen server and starts playing. Players can join the game via a lobby system.

I thought Valve said something about having plenty of servers up and running for the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead... http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/54485 I'm not sure if this applies to the PC version of the game.

[hlds] Unable to load Steam support library
Hello, has any of you set up a Garry's Mod server and recieved this message in the console? * * Unable to load Steam support library.* * This server will operate in LAN mode only.* * It's very strange as all three Gmod servers (on one Win2k3 box) began showing the same error at the same time. I discovered the issue while I was updating the servers just days ago, they worked fine before the update but I can't pinpoint what version they had then. It's just Garry's Mod that has the problem, any Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Half-Life Deathmatch servers start without problems. If I download a new server installation in a clean directory, the message still shows up and I can't seem to figure out what file the Steam support library is? It definitively has something to do with my server box as other machines outside the network can install and start the GMod server without issues at all. I'm lost, any help and tips are highly appreciated.

The dedicated servers mentioned in that article are for Xbox 360, not PC.

Heh... votekicks. Yeah, you votekick a jackass, they open console and type: retry That worked! And then if they make it a voteban, a group of jackasses comes on the server and voteban everybody. Touché. Although I'm sure a way could be implemented to where a temp ban would be generated upon the votekick...for an hour or three or whatever. Anyway, I could come up with ways to refute the instances you detail just as much as much you can refute mine. In the end, we still don't know for sure, but in all likelihood, it'll be SRCDS. Which actually brings a question to mind. -Richard Eid On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 6:14 PM, Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Heh... votekicks.

It's only 4 player coop. The players will open a listen server and starts playing. Players can join the game via a lobby system. Just a question I know a few admin's may have, is Left 4 Dead using the orange box engine or at least an advanced version of it? If so I assume that it will be somewhat compatible with the tools we currently use, MetaMod etc. Also will the dedicated server client be released with the demo? I think this would allow for some great feedback before the full version is released.

Re: [hlds] Does Left 4 Dead use srcds?
Gotta love that send button... Will we be able to run more than one server/core? Currently the most taxing server to run on SRCDS is TF2. I'd have to guess that L4D is going to be less taxing, what with only have to deal with 4 clients. I know the AI will be demanding, but how much so? I'd say the biggest strain would be on the client end and having to display hundreds of zombies on screen at a time. Eh...I have tons of questions about the game already. Who doesn't?!? As usual, though, we'll either have to wait until shortly before release or just plain after before we get any of these questions answered. Also, And the comment about the server admins being jackasses, that's a small minority. Definitely agreed, but now that there are more and more gamers, there will be more and more jackasses running servers. I guess it'd stay in proportion to what it was 1, 2, 5 or 10 years ago, but the numbers are larger, no doubt. Most of them seem to be within my acceptable ping range. :( -Richard Eid On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 7:17 PM, Richard Eid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Heh... votekicks.

Although I'm sure a way could be implemented to where a temp ban would be generated upon the votekick...for an hour or three or whatever. Anyway, I could come up with ways to refute the instances you detail just as much as much you can refute mine. In the end, we still don't know for sure, but in all likelihood, it'll be SRCDS.
