Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Available

2010-10-09 Thread [MP] Oh Noes! 
Yeah, you got a good point there. I don't know why they just can't build in
a button on the main TF2 screen that you click and you get a simple chat
window... with a user listing... and it have like link generation that
people can just click to open trade with whoever generated the link... like
'Trading [Fish] for buff banner' or like 'Looking for [Fish]'.. then people
could just click the link and it open up a PM chat between those two people
with a trade window on the side; and this would reduce spam.

It does however keep them grouped while trading (aka spec mode).
So it could be helpful for keeping teams balanced, but then again you will
still have those people basically afk while trading taking up a slot.
Lets say you get 2 people trading, then get moved to spec. then 2 more start
trading, and they get moved to spec. (lets be realilistic about this also.
it's normally more than 4 people trading at 1 time anyway)
Lets say we have 6 people trading at 1 time. They get moved to spec for
being afk.
So now you have almost a 1/4 of the players in spec trading.
Out of the other 3/4 of the players some of them will leave (lets say 4
players) due to so many going or getting moved to spec to trade.
 So now we 1/2 a server playing. some of them will leave due to the others
that have left, and some will leave due to the amount going to spec, and
even so... some will leave due the amount of chat spam "hey anyone want to
trade?"

Simple solution is do not allow trading while in a server, and keep it in a
PM / trading post built with in steam.
This would allow everyone to chat about trading without effecting everyone
else in a server.

I tried a clean install to a new directory and the server ran fine
overnight,

that's just like a 'clean install' being it writes to a new directory and is
the 
point of porting a game, allows you to keep your original environment
intact.

Anyways... the only reason I mention that is on my testbox I have C:/HLDS
and 
C:/SRCDS. I've always been able to port games, run betas as well as run mods

that depend on other games and just route command-lines to run whats needed.

Worst case scenario is on my testbox I'd just remove +fps_max 600 from the 
command-line.

I finally got around to running the updates on our HL2DM server which ports
it 
over to the Orangebox engine. So, before I added anything I tried running it

with no changes. The server crashes every 5 minutes or so. There are no
errors 
reported in the logs and there are no dumps created. This is on a win2k3
server.

I tried my testbox and after fiddling around it seems it might be related to

+fps_max 600. My testbox (Windows Vista) ran fine for 30 minutes and seemed 
fine. I added +fps_max 600 to the commandline to match all my other servers 
settings I run on my main box (win2k3) and it began crashing.

My win2k3 server is boosted and all my servers idle at 500fps except HL2DM,
that 
idles around half that, 250fps. So... I disabled the booster dll and removed

-tickrate 66 +fps_max 600. That didn't help... still crashes.

Being I could re-produce the crash on Vista by adding +fps_max 600, I'm
guessing 
somethings wrong. I'm guessing the 250fps is related to the issue.

Any ideas? Valve?

As of now our Vanilla HL2DM is DOA.

I think trading should be limited to off server trading.

Actually allowing them to stand around trading makes as much since as the
SG's not have ANY limit on range when firing manually.

with no changes. The server crashes every 5 minutes or so. There are no errors 
reported in the logs and there are no dumps created. This is on a win2k3 server.

I tried my testbox and after fiddling around it seems it might be related to 
+fps_max 600. My testbox (Windows Vista) ran fine for 30 minutes and seemed 
fine. I added +fps_max 600 to the commandline to match all my other servers 
settings I run on my main box (win2k3) and it began crashing.

My win2k3 server is boosted and all my servers idle at 500fps except HL2DM, 
that 
idles around half that, 250fps. So... I disabled the booster dll and removed 
-tickrate 66 +fps_max 600. That didn't help... still crashes.

Being I could re-produce the crash on Vista by adding +fps_max 600, I'm 
guessing 
somethings wrong. I'm guessing the 250fps is related to the issue.

Any ideas? Valve?

As of now our Vanilla HL2DM is DOA.


C:\SRCDS3>hldsupdatetool -command version -dir c:\srcds3

Press any key to continue . . .

I ran -verify_all several times...

Thx
