Re: [hlds] beta junk
Don't forget though especially in a pub server that pings are like FPS there is no major difference as long as it's constant.Unless you are talking 100fps vs 10fps or 10ms ping vs 100ms but from 50-55 ping or something along those lines isn't a huge difference as you are only talking 5 1/1000th of a second.And your computer probably drops more information than that anyways. All this beta stuff is great and I applaud VALVe for their efforts?But complaining without an explaination of how you have your server setup is like shooting black birds in the dark.And obviously as anything software goes results do vary from machine to machine and O/S to O/S.Give em alittle time they will striaghten it out,unless they come out with a new game.(Sorry had to take a low shot hehe) BeNt - Original Message - From: "[xXx] con" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 10:09 AM Subject: [hlds] beta junk i found the beta to be junk 1.none of the usual console errors are fixed, 2. i get the same 512 fps from console on a stock server 3. pings did appear to be more level, but at a higher ping in general by 5ms or so dual core conroe 1.8 2gig ram oc48 100 mb connection s ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Ingame adds, who will remove them?
Well I wouldn't say I was tired of it because this is the first time in a long ass time I've disagreed with what VALVe did.The first time awhile back was when they broke the multiple processor machines affinity settings and threading priority,but it was an overcite(sp) I think and wasn't meant to happen but made me very unhappy for awhile. But back on topic when my month is up on my dedicated boxes I will either #1 shut down my VALVe based games and move to something else,thinking ranked bf2 or SWAT or #2 I will just shut everything down and not worry about it anymore.Leaning more towards shutting everything down namely from the dissatisfcation(sp) about the ads and because I think CS will be losing its momentum in a year or so.At least with my community they have all gotten older went and left college got real lives and moved along except like me play once a week on a weekend before the family stuff starts or after it ends. Which is where I'm sitting now with hard feelings and misplaced thoughts.As bad as it sounds I really really miss 1.3 now and I used,keyword used, to be a HUGE VALVe and Steam supporter and while people bitched about Steam I backed the idea to the max.Now I regret not swapping to a different game then but I should have known this was coming,so now I'm wondering when will the monthly fees to play the games or remove the ads start?Pathetically sad situation..

Re: [hlds] Ingame adds, who will remove them?
I totally agree with the brand concept.I also agree that as a whole communities do good by having their admin players and projects doing good and pleasing the community.Ads do not please the communities that are around at all I guarentee you that. But as far as the comment about not hurting your community by dropping servers,I don't disagree cause most people probably wouldn't,but I for the first time in nearly 5 years of running VALVe games or mods to those games am seriously thinking about shutting my stuff down and moving on,the whole ad thing as a server owner/operator disguists me. As far as a player,the client side "update" to the game to enable them, disguist me as well.It appearls to me as mal-ware/adware.I don't like ad-ware/mal-ware on my computer to flash ads while I surf the interenet or use my computer and I sure as hell don't want it in my games.What are you people at VALVe thinking?I wasn't too wild about turning steam on and seeing ad's for games coming out ect. but at least you gave us the option to turn that off,but now you will be force feeding it?Granted you aren't making any money off the game(s) you sold us 7 and 8 years ago anymore,but if you would actually deliver what you promised of your new games,take source for example you told us it would be a direct and exact port of cs 1.6 making the same game with better graphics I would and did pay for that,what did you give us? A decent game but nothing that was promised except the graphics.Source is nothing like 1.6 some said it's a good thing others do not.Look at your own player graphs and statistics for the months on player hours per game.That should have opened your eyes but it did not.(At writing in favor of CS 1.6 104,282 to CS:S 26,426 thats nearly 4 times higher!!) I guess all the people bitching about this ad "update" should open your eyes too, but it won't either.I knew the day bf2142 came out most if not all the companies,especially online only games would follow one of the crappiest money making models I've ever seen in the gaming industry.You should have stuck with making quality product,instead of worrying about soaking up every dime from anyone you can.And you can't tell me you don't get kick back from other developers that sale on your STEAM platform.Yeah CHA-CHING!!!Normally quality product followed by active developments to fix anything that pops up and supporting existing games follows along with loyal buyers that buy everything you put out like sheep,instead you pick force feeding ad content. I'm afraid this one person will never purchase from STEAM/VALVe again. -BeNt- - Original Message - From: "Roman Hatsiev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, I would agree with brand concept here. Players are joining and staying at our communities not because they don't have other servers to play at but because of effort and money we put into our projects. I don't think that messing up with every dedicated server on the network does make any sense but whose which are really busy and thus deliver a lot of ads to players should have some compensation. I'm not going to hurt my community by dropping any of my servers as long as I have players on them and I suppose most of us won't do that and that is why I don't think we ever get any compensation... As for more realistic approach I would rather prefer to pay 2-3 USD per month to disable ads for myself.

It really boggles my mind that something that is ,in my opinion, a backbone of the steam network would be powered out of one building.I figured they had it spread out from coast to coast and across several continents.But I can imagine they don't trust anyone with the servers that control user auth systems and I can see why.But damn.Have a master that updates the hard files one who bought what ect then simply use slaves that update from the master every 10 minutes or something with just the "oks" ect.Kinda like a dns server but for gaming auths.Anyways I've gotten long winded. -BeNt- http://www.gorillazsouth.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Also, if you attempt to connect to the server and they don't want you playing there, it could be a 'this server is closed, go here instead, please update your favorites' and again have the button. Automatically redirecting you...no, I don't like that, I don't like that at all. I actually like this idea and think it should be implemented.Then you could have a cvar kinda like the fast download in your server.cfg which you could advertise for friendly servers or yours or even other servers you own.Or make it to where gaming communites could put multiple servers in there and it would advertise what map and how many players are on it with join buttons along side them.Basically you could make a community over view join button.The reason I like it is because of how many people go "oh I didn't know you had that server!" And Frazer what you said was just funny.But you have a point.But it would be nice to have the ability.Or maybe even put it into another tab, like you have the recent servers make a list from that server config file that lists in blue offset alittle the other servers they suggest.Like upto 10 servers or something to that effect.Just my $.02 . -BeNt- http://www.gorillazsouth.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] VALVe wants advertisements in CS 1.6
Well like I have said in my forums.If they blend it into a game where it's not so obtrusive it wouldn't be that bad.Like making the coke machines on office actual coke machines of ballz machines or making the computers actual dell computers ect.But I can see signs put into the game that look akin to billboards advertising game servers.Which would suck considering I sell them cheaply to fund my community or webhosting.Which I also sell cheaply to fund my community. I wouldn't be quite as pissed off about it,but like said before,they took away the server operators rights to put their own image into the fast downloads bandwidth advertisements only to replace it with their own in the future.Can anyone say..."Wait we can make money from this!" And like some have said in my community,"Well in BF2142 you can block XX ip addy and it will stop the stream of ads to your client." Well judging by how VALVe is they will go off and make it server side and write it into the engine as such that if you block XX ip addy server side it will fail to activate the Non-Update VAC or it won't auth with the STEAM servers.Or something along those lines. And the very main issue that really pisses me off.I have always told my community to the best of my abilities this would be a non-advertised community.Meaning no google adwords.No google ads.No in-game spamming trying to get people to buy stuff ect.And here comes VALVe on the copy cat train.**Choo Choo** I'm sure and postive for VALVe it would be a good move.I don't doubt that a bit.More money = more stuff.But will that stuff be employees and updates, or house boats and cars? -BeNt- /rant http://www.gorillazsouth.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] VALVe wants advertisements in CS 1.6
Well I didn't buy BF2142 due to this.If this happens I will no longer buy VALVe games.Which I currently own most of.And I've been looking for a really good reason to move my 6 year old community to a better game,which I thought CS:S would be nobody played it. So if this happens good bye CS Community hello BF2 and COD communities.We have started a thread in my forums about this and almost everyone is bitching about CS:S,STEAM and the way VALVe has run their show over the course of the last few years.And alot of people aren't happy.This move wouldn't crush VALVe due to the new players.But I can forsee this not being a good thing because alot of older school gamers who have played this game since '99 or before will be moving along to another game. Thanks god I reinstalled and patched my BF2 and COD/COD2 installs the other night.Guess it's time to contact insomnia about one of those ranked servers ;) Overall I'm not satisfied even if it is client side with someone making money off of my servers.Or any other server that is free to VALVe.If anything they should start putting community and mod advertisments into the game.GG VALVe way to ruin,at least, a half-way decent game for good. -BeNt- /rant http://www.gorillazsouth.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Server Music
Well you forgot to tell us exactly what you are running.If you are running AmxModx with HL1 you can use several plugins.The way I understand you,you want music to play during the verifing files part where you are actually connecting to the server.Not while you are playing in the server.If this is the case and like I said above,running Amxmodx and HL1 mods you can use one of these handy dandy mods http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=4356&highlight=loading+music http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=46636&highlight=loading+music http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=21345&highlight=loading+music http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=43125&highlight=loading+music All those have alittle different functionality.I didn't read each forum post so I'm not sure if they all or any of them still work you will have to see if they have been updated ect.I used the amx_super plugin for awhile which has it inside the plugin and it worked without fail everytime.So browse around that for abit and see if that's what you need.If its for a source game I don't have a clue.

And one other thing you do realize that EVERYONE here is an operator, as you say "dumbass", considering this is the HLDS list.I would almost bet that with an attitude like that it's a hard issue in your server to keep regulars who don't have admin.but that's just my opinion with idiots who do not think their posts through.He made a simple pointed at no one post.Your response?Immaturity.GG you make this list look better and better by the day. /troll_food BeNt ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Lets face it, until GunGame came out recently, there was little desire to play CSS -- adding in a weapon economy sure didn't fix it -- I was at a LAN recently where people wanted to play with the economy for the novelty of it, then democracy reigned and it was quickly shut off becuase it was pointless and added so little flare to the game as to be considered a worthless mod. Lets face it; since Valve took CS and converted it to Steam it has not been such a powerhouse. I realize there are still many people playing but look at the average players per server -- this may be a good way to cull some of them, but honestly, as a player, I see this as a cheat -- if you want to come to my server and play, you play by my rules or you get the hell off my machine. Cheers, Bud Ingram I agree with Bud.While I haven't personally ran a CS:S server for awhile.I do not agree with this new client side setting.But like Bud said if you want to come to my server and play, you play by our community rules or you can get the hell off our servers.Whats the point of not being able to enforce YOUR rules on YOUR server. Personally I was about to open up a new CS:S server since I thought it would be intresting since it has been over a year since I even played it.BUT I'm thinking more along the lines of getting an America's Army server or an Unreal Server going now.Who know's valve is looking worse and worse by the month.

Re: [hlds] HL1 banner
I play CS.And my servers are well maintained and the trash is taken out regularly.We have a major server rule or "Respect all players" on our server and if you don't your gone.Simple as that.I never seem to have issue of people spraying porn sprays ect.Or talking too foul,but then again we run adult servers so we tolerate it as I'm not quite as tight lipped as most parents. So the whole "parent" thing about the sprays ect also goes for admins on your servers.Your gameplay experience and ammount of problems on your server reflects exactly what YOU put into it and what your admins put into it.So if you quit playing cs you were on the wrong servers.OR if it was your serverwell you get the point.
