Re: [hlds] Anyone with active servers move to new IP addresses?
We just did that this past week, after being on the same ips for almost 2 years... It sucks but definitely put the word out as far ahead as you can. And people are not always smart enough to connect to ips so we put on a reserved slot redirection plugin that had the number of slots as full server so it would immediately ask someone to move to the new server with the little redirect F3 message. One of the harder things has actually been getting the community to put the effort in to getting the servers started, people want to pub so much they wont commit the time. But in the end if you run good servers your population should recover, weve changed ips almost 5 times across 5 years now and every time it sucked but we have only grown bigger and better. Alec Sanger wrote: it sucks, but (almost) everyone has to do it at some point... What we did was announce the new IP a couple weeks before making the move. If possible, keep the new server as well as the old server up for a week or so. Change the name of the old server to Community HAS MOVED TO IP. Add all of your regulars to your friends list, and ensure that you keep in contact with as many people as possible. If you have a community group, make sure to post multiple announcements about the move. You'll definitely lose a bunch, but you should rebound quickly if you do it right.

Re: [hlds] any idea what this is?
Ive done it on my own server before but i think they removed the connect_splitscreen command, it still may be possible find split screen ss_enable = 0 client - Enables Split Screen support. Play Single Player now launches into split screen mode. NO ONLINE SUPPORT host_writeconfig_ss - Store current settings to config.cfg (or specified .cfg file) with first param as splitscreen index. in_forceuser = 0 cheat - Force user input to this split screen player. ss_map - Start playing on specified map with max allowed splitscreen players. cmd1 - sets userinfo string for split screen player in slot 1 cmd3 - sets userinfo string for split screen player in slot 3 cmd2 - sets userinfo string for split screen player in slot 2 cmd4 - sets userinfo string for split screen player in slot 4 So people use ss_enable 1( maybe 2 for 2 players etc etc) Then i guess they connect from the single player game into a server and theyre connecting as a splits screen player but as one steamid to the server, I believe all of this is left over from the 360 version where split screen happens all the time, splitscreen is possible on the PC i believe if you have a 360 controller, wether its legitimate or not who knows. Maybe even the possibility of cross platform gaming?? did this person figure out how to on the console of the 360 version?

We knew going into the release that we were going to need to figure out some ways to make it worth it for server administrators, and now we have a ton of feedback to work with. Right now we're looking at ways that server administrators can both build a community around their game server (by subscribing to matchmaking) as well as service their group of regulars that play on their server. Hooking game servers into Steam Community is going to be our first step, and we're working on that now. There is a key difference between Left 4 Dead and games like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress in terms of matchmaking that we wanted to solve, and didn't think the server browser could accomplish. In CS and TF2, you can have 2 or 3 players leave in the middle of a game, have their slots filled by new people, and everyone else's experience doesn't completely suffer. When a player or two leaves Left 4 Dead the game suffers quite a bit, and we were worried that the server browser model wasn't the right one for this game. In hindsight, there are a number of cases where the server browser does a better job than the new matchmaking system does, so it is highly likely that we'll be adding it back in soon. It isn't trivially easy to turn back on, but there is overlap between it and the Steam Community work we'd like to do. Right now we're working toward getting that release out within a week or so.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead -Matchmaking - please bring back the server list
Also to note for consoles, sure go ahead this is a proven way to do online games, but for PC gaming don't abandon us VALVe. Please! Steven Hartland wrote: Why oh why drop the server browser? Forgive me, but that sounds like a console port which is a massive step back. It eliminates any incentive GSP's like ourselves have to run servers as there is no promotion point. Yes there's MOTD with a banner, but that only displays to players joining the server, and as we have no control or even influence over the joining process, it makes it almost pointless. An analogy to this would be to start a new TV channel that you couldn't advertise and there was no channel list, only if a viewer happened to switch to your channel would they watch. On one would create channels if this where the case would they? Match making systems by their very design prevent real communities, and will never have the flexibility provided by a standard server list. Look at the longevity of Sven Coop, do you think that would have lasted this long had their been no community, absolutely not! Add a match making component to complement the server list yes, but remove it absolutely not! You simply loose too many key features:- * Joining communities you know from existing games due to recognising them by their server name in the list * Custom server identification * Brand promotion for GSP's, Companies and Clans * Removes GSP's incentive to run servers, no promotion point * Match making doesn't suite everyone, picks unsuitable servers.

Re: [hlds] valve, some feedback?
Why argue about it? Valves not going to change it. Just let them slowly kill their game and then they will realize eventually when its too late. Valve has and always will slap server admins in the face, when we are players too, they just don't like catering to the more intelligent gamer. James McKenna wrote: Can we run 64 player dod:s servers yet? ;) On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 7:25 PM, Timothy L Havener [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Amen, brother. Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald wrote: Not this bullshit again. The custom tab has to be scratched, all servers should be displayed by default. Players should then be allowed to filter tags they like or do not like. If a player learns to use tags, great. If they don't, they see all options. This is what's important, if you by default HIDE 'custom' servers, the majority of the players who don't care will never see the so called custom servers. The whole tag system is flawed, let's say I run a 24 server without fast respawn. No tags are added by valve without any kind of mods manipulating the tags. But I add a grapple hook for all players. What server operator in their right mind would voluntarily add a tag that results in their server effectively being delisted? NOBODY. And then what is valve going to do about that? Are they going to come tell server ops hey you HAVE to list tags. Is valve going to hire a bunch of people to look for servers to make sure they aren't modded? Doubtful. In its current implementation server operators have an incentive to avoid tags, if all servers are shown by default with their respective tags, server operators would have an incentive to SHOW their tags. It's basically saying hey! Look what we got!, but if players don't see this by default, it will be worthless. How hard is it to understand this? Valve probably realized their mistake and might be correcting it. At least I hope so. The custom tab will be an eternal cat and mouse game between server operators and valve. Valve can very easily solve the problem and make everyone happy just by having the servers all visible by default. Players who want custom, can find it. Players who want vanilla, can find it. Players who don't care or don't know what they want, or don't know how to use the filters, have all options shown to them so they can make their mind on the fly. If you go to a restaurant and the waiter gives you a menu, and without you knowing, there is two different menus, but they give you the standard menu, chances are, very few people will ever ask hey what's on the other menu Also, increased_maxplayers is probably one of the stupidest tags ever. It's like a bag of peanuts with the warning: Warning: contains peanuts.

Well just because you pay for your servers doesn't give you rights to do whatever with there programs.

They are just looking at how new people experience the game. Now the game was designed for 24players in a server, so if you have a 32 person complaining about balancing issues in a game, that information is kinda scewed because the game is not played as intended.

One is if the Steam servers are being twiddled or just need a bit of a kick. Another is where players need to log out of Steam and log back in to renew their ticket - might also be flagged as a no steam logon. Steam tickets seem to need to be renewed every few weeks, occasionally I'll see clusters of players all having this same problem at the same time - players will try joining the server over and over only to be kicked after a few seconds, not quite enough time to tell them what to do to fix the problem.

Srcds jumps from 64fps to about 240fps, the two hlds servers jump from 64fps to about 80fps, and cpu on the box jumps up 50% with only a few players. So, my question to those who have experience with this - what real difference will it make, and if cpu on mostly empty servers if 50%, what will happen when the servers fill up? ___ 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 ___ 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 Mostly you don't need it unless you want to run greater than 64 tick. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Update overwrite
When you update your server it overwrites mapcycle, maplist, and motd. I can understand maplist and somewhat understand mapcycle. But why does the update have to overwrite motd? Could this possibly be removed from the update processing? I know theres ways around this but point being, Valve why? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] TF2 Lag issues still, Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz

System specs: Win 2003 Server Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz (not dual core) 4GB memory Server load: CPU, memory and network utilization aren't an issue from what I have seen from hours of looking. I have been trying to sort this problem out for several days now. I have seen the issue on several different server machines so it's not isolated to just one server box. I have tried running the servers at both 66 and 100 tick, boosting the FPS to 600, fps_max 600 I have tried running them at the default rate settings and also these that were suggested: sv_minrate 4000 sv_maxrate 2 sv_maxupdaterate 85 sv_minupdaterate 10 sv_maxcmdrate 66 Description of Problem: When above more than 14 or so players join the server, This is the description of the problem: stuttering across the map, rockets were skipping etc. Others were complaining too. This is definately not the users end since they say they can play on other servers without this problem. As I said I have been trying to get this problem sorted out for several days and so far have been unable to. The strange thing is I have never had a problem with CSS, DODS, or INS servers at all just TF2. I would appreciate any helpful feedback. Thanks much for your help, LB __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
