Re: [hlds] SteamPipe/SteamCMD conversion status for TFC and DMC?
Word on the street is that hldsupdatetool no longer works on any game (servers just time out) and that SteamCMD is now required for everything. Which makes me wonder what happened with the Valve servers we never got appids for, such as Left 4 Dead and what's going on with third-party servers like Zombie Panic Source.

This is great and the cherry on top would be to add that string to the player connect log line - something like this: L 11/12/2013 - 21:52:16: "Jimmy<288><>" connected, address "1.2.3.4:27005", method "serverbrowser_favorites" On 2013/11/12 20:45, Fletcher Dunn wrote: It tells you what tab they used.

[hlds] Where is my traffic coming from?
Several server operators have requested the ability to know how their clients are connecting to their server. The latest TF update added a new client convar, cl_connectmethod, that contains a string value that indicates how the client connected to your server. It's sent in the same way as cl_rate and others, and a plugin should be able to access this information. It will be empty if joined directly through a console "connect" command. I apologize that I don't have the list of values at hand, but I'm sure some helpful server operator or plugin author will post the list of codes that are sent. Please be aware that the field is not secure, and the work required to secure it is not trivial. Without too much effort a client could send you pretty much any string they want. So this is best used for general reporting purposes and understanding where your players are coming from, not to treat players differently based on how they connect.

Re: [hlds] Is there a cvar controlling Eternaween?
And here's a triple-post, but I have new information. So far, I've been unable to use the Eternaween enchantment on any of my registered, Quickplay-eligible servers. I did successfully use it on a Valve server, however, and the vote passed. The tf_item_based_forced_holiday cvar was set to 2 when the vote succeeded (it was 0 before, I checked). Attempting to set this cvar to 2 via the console just makes it revert back to 0. Sending the value 2 to clients via a plugin doesn't appear to do anything. When it was enabled via the item + vote, Halloween items were enabled, the Thriller taunt was activated, and health packs turned into cauldrons. This appears to simply be a device to enable forced Halloween mode. I have been unable to find a cvar or any other method which which to enable the use of the enchantment item. When using the item on a Valve server, the vote appeared as "Server wants to call a vote", not coming from any user. The vote also failed the first time, but I was able to re-use the item to call the vote again immediately afterwards, which should probably be fixed.
