[hlds] L4D steamid question
I noticed this and didn't see anything else on this so i thought i would ask. Was playing with some stuff for the L4D servers and notice that the steamid's are different. instead of STEAM_0: there STEAM_1: . I havn't noticed with games in the past but thought i would see if this is something that is just for the demo or does the l4d servers user different steamids? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Dedicated Servers Hosting Console Players?
I really haven't found any proof of this or anything (it really is hard to get a firm grip on whether this is the case or not because the server files include a whole bunch of client code), but does anyone know for sure if our dedicated servers are being used to host Xbox 360 players? Obviously, there is the line SupportsXbox360 1 in gameinfo.txt that leads one to this conclusion. Even if this isn't the case, does anyone have any idea what that file is talking about?

Re: [hlds] Dedicated Servers Hosting Console Players?
Actually, It would be interesting to know if Microsoft allows the use of custom netcode on the xbox. XBox Live is the standard for XBox games. In case they don't, the PC games would have to run Games For Windows Live netcode and run on the Live network, which is totally different from the infrastructure Valve currently has laid out for their games. -- Thijs On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 12:05 PM, Matt 'mole' Ashton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I believe coding for xbox and coding for windows is very similar, which is also why its easy to release a game on both PC and xbox. So both platforms on the same server is a possible transition, however I don't believe they are doing this yet. It could possibly be that we are seeing dev's working towards doing this, with both using very similar package (hence we see files related to xbox on the PC version even though they are not used). We also see the same xbox and controller config files in TF2 which is also on the xbox. Those have been there for over a year now and there is no cross-compatability with servers there. I'd say the answer at the moment would be no for the other reason that if it was the case, Valve would be touting it and making a big thing about it because they'd be the first. I think we're just seeing them either using the same code for the two versions, or working towards making it possible in a future game.

Right now, since we're limited to 4 slots, it's not a huge deal. When we get 8

Re: [hlds] Good idea? {L4D}
The group lobbies already exist, we have the Steam Groups on
steamcommunity.com
These groups needs to be linked to the match making system. The owner of the
group should be able to add server IPs to his group and voila, we are done.
Does anyone else think that having a Group lobby for L4D would be a good
idea:
A Lobby for clans/GSPs/groups of friends to link together servers which
they
like playing on?
Then when one of them becomes free the first 4/8 people in the Group Lobby
join?
This would then make finding servers easier, Instead of finding individual
servers you can search for Lobbys OR servers in the serverbrowser
{i.e on different tabs?}
Feedback and opinions! Thanks Philip Bembridge
{Feel free to flame, but please offer suggestions if you do ^^}

[hlds] L4D - windows server query issues
Hi, There is an issue when you query windows based servers. It won't pass on the map its running. Check our server query at www.specialattack.net at the right side. The onces showing full detail are Linux, the onces showing unknown maps are windows. Here is a output: Windows: 7:22:49 hostname: SpecialAttack.net :: L4D #1 version : 1.0.0.0/36 3652 secure udp/ip : 85.17.60.96:27015 players : 2 humans, 0 bots (4 max) (not hibernating) Linux: 17:24:27 hostname: SpecialAttack.net :: L4D #4 version : 1.0.0.0/36 3652 secure udp/ip : 85.17.239.149:27035 map : l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment players : 2 humans, 0 bots (4 max) (not hibernating) As you can see, the map info is missing on windows. On another note, I am still not able to run more then 4 servers on my Linux box. Cheers, p.s. Thanks a lot for the great response yesterday! In my opinion this has been the best release from VALVe side ever since I play HL1. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Dedicated Servers Hosting Console Players?
Maybe those server files are used to host a xbox server. But I don't think it's a cross dedicated server. I really hope not, because a mouse beats the controller on FPS games. I can find only 2 reasons why valve wanted to bring left4dead to the xbox.. 1ste money aspect and 2nd pressure from EA. But that is still my opinion, because I think the zombies are way too fast for a controller (atleast for a casual gamer)... sorry about the xbox frustration ;) -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Brad Verzonden: vrijdag 7 november 2008 10:34 Aan: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Onderwerp: [hlds] Dedicated Servers Hosting Console Players? I really haven't found any proof of this or anything (it really is hard to get a firm grip on whether this is the case or not because the server files include a whole bunch of client code), but does anyone know for sure if our dedicated servers are being used to host Xbox 360 players? Obviously, there is the line SupportsXbox360 1 in gameinfo.txt that leads one to this conclusion. Even if this isn't the case, does anyone have any idea what that file is talking about? It clearly is a file intended for PCs, but there are console references in it.

Re: [hlds] L4D - windows server query issues

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking
Sv_unreserve does _not_ stop people joining from the lobby It's a one-time command that clears lobby reservations from your server. Nothing to say the lobby won't re-reserve slots later on (not sure if it'll do that immediately or if it does it at a later date) For example, I've used it on my public servers before the last update, as there was an issue where slots would be reserved but not cancelled. Running that command cleared the reservations and more people joined immediately Running the server with -nomaster (command-line command only) will stop the server adding its details to the master list, or you can set the sv_search_key cvar to something unique, as per Jason Ruymen's email -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthal Sent: 07 November 2008 17:37 To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking In linux, it's much more resource efficient to run the servers forked.

It clearly is a file intended for PCs, but there are console references in it. I feel like something fishy is going on, but I hope I am wrong. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds __ NOD32 3593 (20081107) Informatie __ Dit bericht is gecontroleerd door het NOD32 Antivirus Systeem. http://www.nod32.nl ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

The main thing hurting this demo right now is the lack of stable dedicated servers. I'm sure everyone at Valve is extremely busy right now, but if they want to make a good impression when the demo goes public (Gamestop accepting blank submissions aside...), they need to communicate with server operators. The lobby system is great for finding people to play with. I wish the friends list showed them grouped together when they were in the same lobby. We need to see pings! A ping chart (4x4, or 8x8 for versus) would be nice as well (when in a lobby). These are minor details that can be addressed later The lobby system is horrible for finding a server to play on. If you know of a dedicated server that is stable, or have one that you run, you should be able, as the lobby leader, to join your group to it, add your group to a queue for that server, or give it and other servers you like favorable treatment in the random selection process. We also need to be able to confirm we want to join the selected server. No joining a random server only to be killed by a password prompt. No scraping the bottom of the ping barrel because it was the only server avilable. No joining a random server that has friendly fire modded out (it's only a matter of time) or other things modified without you knowing it. This all needs to be in the standard UI with the standard server configs, not hidden in a console command and requiring server variables to be modified (from default). As it is, people are blindly struggling with server variables and command lines. Is this variable behaving properly? Is it a bug? Is it a demo restriction? Is it the intended behavior of the lobby/matchmaking system? For the purposes of the demo, I'd like to see: An official comment on how to manually join a server (either as an individual, or once you're in a lobby). An official comment on how to set your server up to allow or disallow (allow should be default) manual joining and auto joining. An official comment on how to password your server and prevent it from showing up in the list or being randomly selected. Each of the above has been figured out by people on this list, and I'll be wading through tons of emails this weekend when I set up my server, I'm sure. But this is what needs to be addressed officially now. Stable dedicated servers aren't exactly easy to come by. It really hurts the demo, and it hurts people's perception of the game (as server operators and as players). On a side note - has any tried throwing party mode at this yet? _ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/119462413/direct/01/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking
Boy it sure would be nice if Valve would do some decent things, like: 1. QA their releases before launching them out into the wild 2. Include sample server and startup configs 3. Not rely on the server-hosting community to do its QA work for them We are all being used. I won't participate in this debacle any further. Thus far, they're using us as guinea pigs.

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking
... okay? you taking your servers down certainly won't do a whole lot... but whatever floats your boat. I talked to Jason and it simply seems like they couldn't make the deadline. They were working on it up until the very release. Yes, they could have handled things a big differently, but at least many of the errors were fixed within a few hours. At least they are communicating with us on some level. So you go right ahead and make a statement by taking down your l4d servers. I'll keep mine up and work with the development team to improve the game for everyone else.

Re: [hlds] Answers
And for this reason I am running 3 Public Services (all full on startup), and 1 running no-master. This is a DEMO.. i played the demo (i paid the $$ for the game)., we are talking two levels? Lets worry about all the cool features when multiplayer is enabled, and we can have larger then four play slot servers. Lets get some dedicated servers up so people can play the demo! -Original Message- From: Blood Letter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent 11/7/2008 1:45:40 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] AnswersThe main thing hurting this demo right now is the lack of stable dedicated servers. I'm sure everyone at Valve is extremely busy right now, but if they want to make a good impression when the demo goes public (Gamestop accepting blank submissions aside...), they need to communicate with server operators. The lobby system is great for finding people to play with. I wish the friends list showed them grouped together when they were in the same lobby. We need to see pings! A ping chart (4x4, or 8x8 for versus) would be nice as well (when in a lobby). These are minor details that can be addressed later The lobby system is horrible for finding a server to play on. If you know of a dedicated server that is stable, or have one that you run, you should be able, as the lobby leader, to join your group to it, add your group to a queue for that server, or give it and other servers you like favorable treatment in the random selection process. We also need to be able to confirm we want to join the selected server. No joining a random server only to be killed by a password prompt. No scraping the bottom of the ping barrel because it was the only server avilable. No joining a random server that has friendly fire modded out (it's only a matter of time) or other things modified without you knowing it. This all needs to be in the standard UI with the standard server configs, not hidden in a console command and requiring server variables to be modified (from default). As it is, people are blindly struggling with server variables and command lines. Is this variable behaving properly? Is it a bug? Is it a demo restriction? Is it the intended behavior of the lobby/matchmaking system? For the purposes of the demo, I'd like to see: An official comment on how to manually join a server (either as an individual, or once you're in a lobby). An official comment on how to set your server up to allow or disallow (allow should be default) manual joining and auto joining. An official comment on how to password your server and prevent it from showing up in the list or being randomly selected. Each of the above has been figured out by people on this list, and I'll be wading through tons of emails this weekend when I set up my server, I'm sure. But this is what needs to be addressed officially now. Stable dedicated servers aren't exactly easy to come by. It really hurts the demo, and it hurts people's perception of the game (as server operators and as players). On a side note - has any tried throwing party mode at this yet? _ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/119462413/direct/01/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Exactly, I won't promote bad behavior such as what you're suggesting. Be thankful they are on the mailing list communicating with us. Be thankful they are taking our suggestions and feedback and actually doing something about it. Be thankful they responded with fixes QUICKLY yesterday. Very few companies these days listen to what their customers have to say. Sure you can argue custom tab... till your blue in the face, but guess what? Eventually they did what we asked for.

You've made two things clear. 1) You want attention.

You want to crying and stomping your feet like a little child because valve didn't get everything right for a demo? Here's a little tip. Nobody really gives a damn if you shut down your servers.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers
I've been testing a stand-alone L4D server (Win32) and run across something odd. This is a dedicated server I've installed and updated via the hldsupdatetool (not the one in the Steam games/tools menu) If I start the server after a clean boot (virtually nothing running other then task manager) SRCDS will run but complain: Unable to load Steam library It won't say it has added any master server ips and players will never join. Setmaster in the console show that no servers have been added. If I start Steam up first however, then SRCDS runs as expected, I don't get that error message, master servers are added and players join and play. It looks to me like there are still some Steam-specific hooks left in the stand-alone SRCDS install. Would someone else confirm this? (previous posts here appear to be saying the same thing). ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Right. There's no GUI option for it currently. You have to type it into the client console. Tom Leighton wrote: You put it on your server, and then set it on your client in your console or whatever.

[hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers - rate limits needed
Extensively testing of a dedicated L4D server has shown that it is not possible to run an L4D server (with 4 players) lag-free on a 1.5M / 384K dsl line (line is solid, nothing else using the line during testing). Players are changing their rate to 4 and cl_updaterate to 100 and there are no server limit CVARs to prevent these settings from overloading the server uplink bandwidth. The only rate limit setting available right now is sv_maxcmdrate which is never a problem even when set to 100. Valve, please re-enable the server rate limit settings for L4D. This problem will only get much worse with 4 vs 4 and the end result is a bad player experience. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
