Re: [hlds] Any way to force sound downloads from a CSS server?

[Cc2iscooL]

Not to mention if you packed the sounds into the map and you weren't the map
maker you'd likely have to change the name of the map, lest clients that
already downloaded the map previously would get errors that the map CRC
didn't match.

Re: [hlds] Any way to force sound downloads from a CSS server?

[1nsane]

There was a time when sound files packed into the bsp only played on the
server correctly (so only useful on a listen server).

It's no longer an issue though. But that might be a reason why some map
makers would have opted not to include sounds in their bsp files.

Re: [hlds] Any way to force sound downloads from a CSS server?

[DarthNinja]

The *correct* way (if the map is made properly) is to pack the sound into
the bsp file using pakrat or similar.  In your case this would require
changing the map file name to something else so the clients download it
again.

I think moving a server out of it's automatically created directory
structure would be considered "moving files randomly." It may seem wrong to
you but if you take the update tool and run it for the first time and it
creates a directory structure, you would think if you started moving
anything but the root directory stuff might not work.

[pilger]

I don't move files randomly.

I'm saying the server has a unability to validate steam ids while being run
from another folder than "/orangebox/".

I'm not sure if you're a programmer or not but I am and I can say that my
information on the problem might actually say quite a bit about it. I might
not as well, but at least I'm trying and doing something. I fail to see how
your comment accomplishes anything other than hostilize another fellow
member of the list. I'd keep suchs comments to myself.

Re: [hlds] Any way to force sound downloads from a CSS server?

[Cc2iscooL]

I remember from my css days that you had to make a res file in the map
folder. The map should have come with one if it also comes with custom
sounds.

You move files around randomly and expect valve to "fix" something?

 Did the trick for me.

 Running it without a commandline would cause the game to open the
 "create srcds server dialog" and that seems to be the issue. I had teste
 with a .bat to run the server but the .bat should have a faulty command
 line. That one got it working good.

 Thanks for the time guys. Hope this helps someone else with the same

Re: [hlds] [TF2 Dedicated Server] S3: Client connected with ticket for the wrong game: UserID: 2

[pilger]

Okey, now i really got it to work. Seriously! I've tested and a friend
joined with no difficulty.


I just had to download it all over again AND leave it where it was. That is,
leave it on the "orangebox" folder.

Whenever i try to move it or copy it to the "source 2007 dedicated server" i
get a "Model models/gibs/wood_gib01e.mdl not found and models/error.mdl
couldn't be loaded" error while trying to run it through the .bat file. When
i load it through the steam shortcut (on library>tools), it runs but people
are unable to join, producing that "Steam Validation Rejected" issue i
reported earlier.

To test this behaviour, i wiped out the "source 2007 dedicated server"
folder and copied the new, downloaded one, into it and i got the behaviour i
described above.

Hope this helps everybody that has this problem and, mainly, Valve to fix
it.


Thanks for the attention, guys!

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011

You really should read all of the messages already sent in reply to
this topic. Jeff outlined everything nicely earlier. The main point is
that when you register your server, you're simply registering it with
Valve. The quickplay traffic is just a perk and you can even use a
cvar to disable it if you don't want it. None of the servers I help
run are vanilla, but we registered them months ago anyways without
issue.

To answer your question: you do. When you run the command on your tf2
client to create a gameserver identity, you take the lines it outputs
and put them in your server.cfg file. Without those two lines, your
server won't be considered registered.

If you run it without arguments, you get the server creation dialog to set
in the arguments. I discovered that a few moments ago. And i used to run
with arguments, of course. I used to run it from a .bat file, by the way.

Anyway, scratch that. It was uncorrectly set to lan during the test. The
problem persists.

Ha! Solved.

Had an idea during my shower that it might be related to the commandline to
run the server and not the files within.

The command line

*-console -game tf -nohltv -condebug +maxplayers 12  -port 27015 +exec

Running it without a commandline would cause the game to open the "create

Re: [hlds] [TF2 Dedicated Server] S3: Client connected with ticket for the wrong game: UserID: 2

[Roger Smith]

This issue seems to be for people running the server tool through steam.
Other cases seem random. Wait for a fix. There's no user-possible solution
at the moment.

 You think that downloading the whole deal again with hlsdupdatetool
 might do the trick!?

Downloaded it all over again through hldsupdatetool and got the same error.
My server is useless. Do i sit and wait for a fix? Why do some servers run
okey and some present this error? Argh!

 This is an issue that is widespread when using the steam tool version of
 the dedicated server. Valve is looking into the issue. There's more
 information on the user forums in the dedicated server area.

[hlds] TF2 Quickplay Overview

[Rob]

all you have to do is register by kicking up steam go to console and put this 
cl_gameserver_create_identity  this then will make a code now that code goes in 
to ur server.cfg file  at the end 

like this 
tf_server_identity_account_id xyz123
tf_server_identity_token "xzy123"

then reboot your server now as it reboots look at the console  and you will see 
 something like  game server authentication Success that's it you done.. 

“don't just copy the old code to the new servers will not work its just going 
to stop the traffic to one server and then move to to the new one”
this all works just fine i have this up and running with over 150 servers so 
its been tested by me v.happy with the out come

msleeper, I am not reading between the lines, because it clearly states:  
"Servers should be running as "vanilla" as possible. In particular, these 
server tags (sv_tags) will disqualify a server:"

We don't have but ONE vanilla server, thus my concern/question. 

So to someone who may reply in a HELPFUL way:  We don't have to put the results 
of the confirmation into our server.cfg as the instructions state, correct?  
Just register and that's it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011

Thanks So much guys, been wondering about this all day.

So I can register my server, and still keep it private! Great! ;)

Just one last question, what is quickplay?

Thanks

Yes I meant TF2. My apologies. Silly iPhone keyboard.
With a password I assume you would be excluded from quick play but that
wouldn't effect server registration I wouldn't think.

I want a clarification of what abuse or cheating would be. Of course,
fooling the server into that the server is full is one obvious way but

Re: [hlds] Minimum system requirements for TF2 DS?

[James Botting]

If it was multithreaded then it would be fine. Of course you can always try
it and use net_graph 4 on your client, and watch the sv value. If it
consistently goes below 66 then it probably won't be very smooth.

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011

[Emil Larsson]

I would like to know this too, especially as we have a "for the community"
passworded server, which ran 24/7 mann manor last year (password was on the
steam community page for the group so it wasn't exactly that much of a
secret). No abuse were going on of any kind, the only difference was that it
was limited to the people who knew the password.

I want a clarification of what abuse or cheating would be. Of course,
fooling the server into that the server is full is one obvious way but
still...

Thanks James. I have an HP Microserver with a dualcore nettop processor (AMD

TF is too much of an ask.

Re: [hlds] Minimum system requirements for TF2 DS?

[Saul Rennison]

Since the update your server will run at the mod's tick rate (number of
world simulations that are executed per second). TF2 is 66 tick, so your
server will run at 66 fps. It's not runnin "slower", this is the speed it
always ran at, but it's using less resources.

He meant connect to your server from TF2, not ft2. You enter the console
variables (convars) in the TF2 console.

Re: [hlds] Minimum system requirements for TF2 DS?

[kelly joe]

That hadn't occured to me, because I read it was actually designed to run
off one core only.

Is there any way to make the engine run smoother, use less memory, and
increase game performance, ever since the max_fps update my server has been
running slower.

Thanks

Even if you could, you could only switch it BETWEEN cores, you can not 
split up a thread and make it utilize more than one core simultaneously.

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011

[kelly joe]

Thankx thats cleared a few things up. Does that mean you have to let other
players on, or can it remain private and password protected?

Also, what is ft2, and how do you connect via client, do I have to download
ft2? Where do the convars come from, and where do you get the registration
values from?

Thanks

Sorry about all the questions, this is only my second server!

Even if you could I doubt the engine would utilise it properly, however, i
personally havnt looked into that much. Maybe someone else can spread better
light on it.

Re: [hlds] Minimum system requirements for TF2 DS?

[Dominik Friedrichs]

I think he's actually talking about the data transfer volume per month 
that a TF2 server can be expected to generate. Bandwidth (network speed) 
is something else and a few Mbit both ways should be enough. Most offers 
include a 100 Mbit link so no problem there.

Only a small part of the engine is multithreaded. The majority of

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011

[James Botting]

You Connect to your server via the ft2 client, open console and issue the
identity create command (off the top of my head I think it is
cl_create_server_identity, but check that on the valve docs) then copy the
two cvars outputted by the command to your server.cfg
You need to do this for each one of your servers. They must all run with
unique registration values.

Re: [hlds] hlds Digest, Vol 7, Issue 125

[kelly joe]

Have the same problem mate, getting spammed with at least ten errors
identical to yours listed.

Is there any way to 'fix' these?

Are they a problem or just like the particle error  pcg thingy?

Thanks

Re: [hlds] Max FPS

[kelly joe]

So, does this mean that all servers are gonna run at the same rate?

Cos' mines locked at 66-68fps, and it's slower than it was since the update.
How can we increase the fps? Just to make gameplay smoother, with less lag?

Thanks

We’re going to be launching some new Halloween content in the near future
and wanted to give you all a quick heads-up.  There will be random gift
drops, but this year we are requiring that participants register their
servers.  If you choose not to register, you can still run the Halloween
maps, but no gifts will drop on your server.  By registering, your server
will also be included in matchmaking, which will potentially drive
traffic to you.  Note that cheating or otherwise abusing the gift drop
system will result in losing your registration, access to gift drops and

Re: [hlds] Halloween 2011

[teamb...@comcast.net]

Jason,

All the info about the quickplay and registration system was posted at a link 
at the bottom of Jon's original email.
If you read that you will probably get answers to most of your questions.

We are running quite a few plug-ins and our all of our servers are receiving a 
lot of players via quick so don't be overly concerned about being blacklisted.

Ok, I am confused.  The quickplay (and "registration" of servers) is for 
servers without mods, etc.  Which is why we only have one of our five servers 
in the "quickplay" registration.  Yet, the OTHER servers is where we get most 
of our traffic.  Your "quickplay registration" rules say something along the 
lines of either getting blacklisted or ignored if you have modded servers.

So people who have "fun" modded servers are simply shit out of luck?  If this 
is not the case, then please, explain and give DETAILS of what we will need to 
do.  I don't mind registering my servers for the halloween event stuff, my 
community would love itbut if I get left out because we have mods, I

We’re going to be launching some new Halloween content in the near future and 
wanted to give you all a quick heads-up.  There will be random gift drops, but 
this year we are requiring that participants register their servers.  If you 
choose not to register, you can still run the Halloween maps, but no gifts will 
drop on your server.  By registering, your server will also be included in 
matchmaking, which will potentially drive traffic to you.  Note that cheating 
or otherwise abusing the gift drop system will result in losing your 
registration, access to gift drops and other potential value-adds in the future.

 You still have plenty of time, as this change won’t be going live until next

There's nothing to be confused about. Stop trying to read between the lines.

In order to participate in the event, you have to REGISTER your
servers. You don't have to make them quickplay valid. You JUST have to
register them.
