Re: [hlds] hlds Digest, Vol 25, Issue 68
I have little info as this did not happen to me personally. However, I have messaged a few of my server owner friends and some of my players. It seems like 3 out of 10 people are having this issue. Some even reporting that only a few servers were deleted and not all of them. Please don't derail this topic to DNS/ID support. This is very serious and we need to get info on why this is happening.

[hlds] CS:S Server Favorites Deleted
After this update I noticed that my servers have been dead of the past few days. I was going crazy trying to figure out why when a few of my members reported to me that their favorites list got deleted. If this is true this is a freaking disaster and needs to be fixed right away. This is worse than having to move your IP to a new location, because at least then you could let people know a head of time what was going on. Please if anyone else is also having this problem make Valve aware so something can be done, we don't want this also happening during the TF2 update.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released
Hello, You can correct that issue by creating separate host.txt and motd.txt files, and then placing two lines in your server.cfg file pointing to those alternate file names (whatever they may be). hostfile "host_custom.txt" motdfile "motd_custom.txt" Hope this helps!

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
OkI'm not getting anything new, but I think I need to understand a bit more the use of each of these cvars. With just sv_steamgroupthat should automatically put a member of that steamgroup into one of our servers, correct? Or no? With sv_search_key...that is just another way of doing it? Either one, should put a member of our steam group, or someone putting in our search key, into one of our servers, if it's open.

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
I've been working all morning on trying to rectify our server's Search Key problem. I've followed everyone's advice in fixing the search key problem, but it hasn't been fixed. This is what I've tried so far: - sv_search_key "x" and sv_steamgroup x in the server.cfg - just sv_search_key "" without steamgroup - just sv_steamgroup without search key - sv_search_key without using quotation marks - tried the "1013,key:x" and that hasn't worked either In the game, I've tried using the lobby matchmaking sv_search_key with and without quotation marks. I seriously can't get anything to work. I run 5 open servers and 1 private servers, and the lobby won't find any of them. It'll just sit and search forever and never stop. If anyone can shed some light, I'd be grateful.

Re: [hlds] L4D Client Update
Richard, Let me ask you. What game, from Valve, has been run without the need of server admins? I'm not sure I can name any. Then...all of a sudden, when a game developed by Valve, but published by EAnow they have their own servers? It definitely doesn't sound like something Valve would have come up with. There is no hard evidence that shows that EA is a part of these shenanigans, but...let's look at it with common sense. EA is the publisher, and now there is no need for server admins. 2+2=4 Aaron Rapp -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Richard Eid Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2009 3:38 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] L4D Client Update gameadmin, I disagree. I can't tell you how many times I started a Lobby, filled it, let the Lobby being a server search, then ended up on some random, modified server. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I played on an official Valve server before this recent change. Now I'm not trying to bash every Left 4 Dead server out there, because I ended up on more good ones than bad ones. But I know for a fact that official servers were not the default choice of the Lobby system. Not even from day one. On release day, as soon as the issues with Windows Left 4 Dead servers were corrected, I fired up two of them and they stayed packed for a few days straight. I believe that before this change, the option of "Best Available Dedicated" was the default(and only) setting. In this case, you may still end up on a Valve server, but definitely no guarantees. This is what I experienced throughout all of my Left 4 Dead playtime. Robert, I see your point and can definitely attest to running into a lot of undesirables out there in the random public games. The thing is, unless you have your own server and choose to play on it through the use of a search_key or whatever method you use to get to it, you'll run into this on any server you go to unless you only and always play games with your friends. You're never guaranteed to see an admin anywhere. Not in Left 4 Dead, not in TF2, not anywhere. At least we have the Vote Kick system available by default, though this is also a well abused feature in public servers. So it's good that you won't be in public servers because who needs a headache like that, right? Play on your own server. That's why you have it! You have to start looking towards the future anyway. The SDK will be out soon and all sorts of changes will be made to the base gameplay of Left 4 Dead without anybody ever knowing until they just run into it and declare Left 4 Dead a horrible game. With the default being Official Dedicated, you will at least know that you're getting into a plain old regular game instead of possibly(most likely) an ultra-modified game. This is simply a way for Valve to protect their investment, without really harming anybody in the process. Think about it...who really cares if your Left 4 Dead server sits empty? If you got one, it's more than likely that you got it so that you and some friends could get together and play on it. I don't know what the obsession is with having your server packed full all the time. Yeah, I noticed it during release, cool. But if I wanted to actually play on it, I'd have to kick someone else that may have already invested a bunch of time into a campaign. Or maybe they were playing with friends. Or whatever. But it was never really empty so I could start a new game on it. I sometimes prayed that it would empty out so I didn't have to feel bad about kicking someone so I could join an in-progress game. Seriously, could someone please answer the following question for me? What is the obsession with having your server, no matter the game, packed full all day and all night? Is this that much a measure of your self-worth? I always thought people started servers so they had their own place to play with their own rules. What does it matter if people come around or not? If you don't have enough friends to have a friendly game of whatever, why did you start one in the first place? This is seriously something that's bugging me and I'm trying to find out why having a full server is so important. It's been consuming me lately and I have yet to find an answer. Aaron, You're going to have to explain to me where EA sits in all this. This is a Valve game with servers hosted by Valve(and a lot of us). Could you please provide some linkage to where EA fits into any of this besides distribution at retail? Steve, I'm not sure where you got the idea that I, personally, wrote what you quoted. That's taken directly from the news page on the Steam site. I merely linked to it. And as far as "better", what is your definition of t
Re: [hlds] L4D Client Update
I'd like to consider it, but I'm not sure you know the answer to it either. So, the question still remains. How many servers are ran out of the somebody's basement on a shitty connection? Wouldn't it be smarter to give the user the ability to select their region? I've been assigned to many servers that were nowhere near where I'm playing and that was the reason behind the bad connections. There has to be a better way to do this, besides making our servers second rate. Because EA is in charge of this (and you know that's how they're getting their own "official servers"), the rest of us don't get to take part in it? Sounds fubar'd to me.

Sothe question is now. Why isn't every L4D admin screaming about this? My servers are vanilla as well, so I'm not sure what else there could be that could be causing it.

Re: [hlds] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists
I agree, Plasma. Proper moderation could make this work. I don't know that it would make a huge difference whether this information was on a mailing list or the forums. As long as the moderators were cognizant of issues that have already been solved and were able to fix someone's problem with a link to another thread on their subjectI think the general "mess" could be kept under control.

Re: [hlds] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists
WellI thought a little farther on the idea, and it could be as follows: - We set up moderators beforehand. Seeing as the moderators will be picked in the beginning, there could end up being a probationary period for them. - The job of the moderators will be two fold. It will take time, but that's what it takes to be a Valve moderator. - The moderators will upkeep any usergroup requests. The requests will need to contain some info about the server they run. (i.e. Server Name, IP, company or community if applicable). If the server is only up sometimes, maybe a link to gametracker.com will show us how legit the server is. - And then, of course, the moderators will, in fact, moderate the forums. - Server admins will be required to keep at least one of their server IP's within their signature to stay on the list. This will allow moderators to purge the list, if need be. - A PM to a moderator with the request of being removed from the listwill be the easy way to be removed. I think there's a certain harmony with this. Linking email to the forums is a good idea toobut I don't think it's possible. I've not heard of this before, and I think it would be a big "security breach" within the Steam forums as well.

Re: [hlds] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists
Thanks for the reply Burton. This is good news to hear. These are my thoughts: - Membership--yes...I do like the membership idea. I think it's most of our fears that this list gets thrown in with all of the forum trollers that are out there. - Moderation--Also yesIf we keep this list, I would like to see more moderation, if possible. But...if the move to forums must be made, the proper moderation will keep things on point and helpful to all of us. - Forum Server Performance--I have seen an improvement to the forums and can understand why you would want to take advantage of that. - I think the main idea behind the mailing list (at least for me) was the ability to get an email when Valve posted on it. We used to get "heads up's" when a update was incoming. To be able to get this on my blackberry and inform my staff to get readywell, that was very very useful in keeping a busy set of servers. Having forumsit will be more difficult. Unlessthere was a usergroup on the forums devoted to Server Admins...in which, a Valve employee could send an email to that usergroup so that everyone gets a "no-reply" email informing us of the update. I just thought of that. Might be a good idea. Either wayI love Valve games and love running servers, so I'll go where you guys go.

Re: [hlds] Valve It's Time To Listen And Answer!
Hi SakeFox, I don't think that this is the place to post this. Again, this mailing list is for information exchanging between server admins. It would be best if you posted about your concern on a Valve forum. In light of that fact that others will post on this subject here, and I can't prevent thatI will say the following: Secondly, you should realize that it is just about every company's policy to not admit fault. For a company the size of Valve, this is essential. It keeps the amount of negative feedback from reviewers and writers alike, down to a minimum...which gives the rest of us the illusion of "a good company". Let me assure of thisthey are listening. They take everything we say here or elsewhere and it gets put into an excel spreadsheet. In their weekly meetings, they discuss each item and prioritize it. Unfortunately, their position on each item might be different from yours and yours may be different from mine. One thing you learn very quickly, in this business, is that you will never make everyone happy. You have to make the most of the resources you have at the moment. That's all I can say on that. I hope you understand. It's hard to see the entire other side of the river until you're actually standing over there.

I've noticed a slight bug in the Steam Community Server Join feature. I am the admin of our group, but also belong to a couple of other groups. When I click on the "Play Campaign/Steam Community" option, it brings me to the "browser" and my server pops up in the list. The bug is that it shows one of my other groups icons, instead of my primary group. It does eventually change to my groups icon, but I thought that was kind of odd.

Re: [hlds] Status
I don't use the sv_search_key because there are 3 backdoors right now that work well with our community. I also don't have any issues with servers being full or not showing up in the server browser. I would also say that so far of my 3 servers that I have running, that half of the traffic is from pubs coming in a game after a couple people have left after matchmaking. When the server empties, within a minute the servers will be back full with players, and will usually sit full. I should also mention that 2 of my dedicated servers are running from 2 computers on my 1.5mbps upload. One on Q9300 and another on a Prescott 3.0 processor. 1 of them is hosted via a hosting company. I would like more integration to the server browser than using the sv_search_key command. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Smith Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 11:20 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Status Would it be possible to add a feature, so that we could select our own server in the match making system? Rather than using someone else's server. That way some of us that like matchmaking can still use the matchmaking system with our own server. The sv_search_key feature is already in place. Why not add an option to the matchmaking lobby, so the lobby leader can select a server based on its sv_search_key setting. That alone would give me a lot more incentive to keep my dedicated servers up after the game is released. Its nice to be able to use our own servers.

[hlds] L4D Bandwidth Anomaly
Hi All, I've been trying to track down the reason for our bandwidth anomaly we're experiencing. We're currently running 10 L4D servers, in which, together, they use about 44% of the CPU. However, that's not the problem. For some reason, our 100Mbps uplink is peaking out, but not all the time. Now, I would think an uplink like that would only peak if all 10 servers, at the same time, were to be querying with the client. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing. If you look, you'll see some crazy peakage and then it only uses like 4% of the bandwidth. Again, I can't track down the problem. Was hoping you guys could help or confirm the same anomaly. http://welderxf.com/imageup/images/big/welderxf.com601817605.JPG Regards, Aaron ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

I'm going to be brutally honest here. Neph.I would much rather have you outside of Valve then insidebecause on the inside, you can't easily make fixes without going through the corporate mess that most of the current developers have to go through. If Valve were to give you a job, their best bet would be to pay you but leave you at home with no one to answer to, except to cover their ass when the S*** hits the fan. And thanks again Neph. I have to say that you've made a lot of these server admins' jobs a bit easier.

No, I didn't make an ass out of myself. As you said, I asked a valid question and got jumped on.

Confirmed.
Was able to do it.
The Big Ugly Barrel is back!
Adding this will create a barrel in the spot where the exploiter has to
stand.
So try this:
1. Download Ented
http://www.serverwiki.org/index.php/EntEd
2. Make a copy of cp_dustbowl and store it somewhere.
3. Open cp_dustbowl
4. At the end of the list of entities, add:
{
"origin" "1185 1638 21"
"targetname" "prop_deathbarrel"
"StartDisabled" "0"
"spawnflags" "0"
"solid" "6"
"skin" "0"
"SetBodyGroup" "0"
"rendercolor" "128 128 0"
"renderamt" "150"
"RandomAnimation" "0"
"pressuredelay" "0"
"PerformanceMode" "0"
"model" "models/props_badlands/barrel01.mdl"
"mindxlevel" "0"
"MinAnimTime" "5"
"maxdxlevel" "0"
"MaxAnimTime" "10"
"fadescale" "1"
"fademindist" "-1"
"fademaxdist" "0"
"ExplodeRadius" "0"
"ExplodeDamage" "0"
"disableshadows" "0"
"angles" "0 90 0"
"classname" "prop_dynamic"
}
Sticks a big ugly barrel in the same spot.
5. Save and re-upload to server.
This creates a big ugly barrel in the spot where you have to stand in that
spot to plant the teleporter. It is a temp fix until VALVe get the map
repaired.

My servers have suffered ever since. I followed your instructions in hopes that you might actually act upon your words. Here we are, close to a week since the update and I have seen nothing.

Unfortunately we can tell you from many years of experience it doesn't matter how much PR or education you put behind something like this, it simply wont work as gamers are:- 1. Lazy 2. Creatures of habit 3. Quite stupid As I previously mentioned this is from bitter experience with Epic's failed attempt at a similar feature which was very much simpler, a tick box for "Standard servers only" that was selected by default. We look forward to the changes you propose to the UI and hope this takes into account the information we have all provided since its release. In short creating a single search interface which allows users to quickly and easily filter servers from a default show all list is the only option. Splitting XYZ servers over here and the rest over there is simply too confusing / complicated for your average joe. As an annalogy, you dont see Google only listing XHTML compliant web pages in their main search and forcing users to go another page to search all none conforming sites. Yes XHTML compliant sites will likely provide a better more consitent user experience, but when it all comes down to it 99% of users simply dont care. They want to sample whats out there, if they try something and it doesnt work for them they will go somewhere else.

RE: [hlds] Custom tab is / will kill of popular servers :(
Valve, There are some of us that understand what has happened here with the latest update. We make decisions to better our server on a daily basis. From personal experience, there are times when a change is made, looks good on paper, but becomes a disaster when implemented, and we hear about it from our regulars. Unfortunately, when something is not beta tested before the release, and feedback has not been collected, there is a good chance that the idea has failed. I come in contact with this every day. Software development is a very strenuous job to undertake. You continuously fall under criticism for every move you make. Bottom line, the custom tab was a brilliant idea the first time I read about it. There are a lot of different servers; however, we were not able to beta test this before hand to see what kind of impact it would have made. For a good portion of us, the work we've put into our servers has been devastated by this. I know that some of these server admins can get on your case pretty bad, and I don't support that at all, but I feel, this time, we're giving some pretty valuable feedback on this. Users are continuing to search for a server on the internet tab and there is a likely chance that they will not change. I hope some constructive criticism is a refreshing change of pace for you.

RE: [hlds] Custom tab is / will kill of popular servers :(
This is just an idea, but I think we should level the playing field again. We get one of the people that have been able to bypass the custom list, and ask them to release it. Everyone uses it, everyone gets back on the internet tab, and we're back to normal again. I understand the power that those people must be feeling right now. Knowing that their servers will always be full, but I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure their servers were popular before, and with releasing the bypass, I'm sure they will still be popular now. It's up to them, but let's just level the playing field once again.

[hlds] mp_teststalemate
I wanted to make a line of emails just about this topic. I might be doing something wrong, and I hope you guys can help me out on this, but.our server is all custom maps. We have a lot of maps that are very popular.in moderation. It seems that they don't play by the sv_timelimit rules. We get to the point where a map can go on for hours and never stop until an admin gets on a runs a vote. Is there anything I can do to get these maps to play by the rules? We have suddendeath on as well in the server, but that doesn't make any difference either. Just goes on forever. Thanks for the help.

RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Tags Coming Soon
That is a really awesome idea!!! This will definitely make it easy to search for custom map or custom mod type servers. This has been an issue with our server on a regular basis. There has been an increase in needs for custom servers to survive. Good work Jason & Team! Aaron -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Ruymen Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 3:51 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Tags Coming Soon One of the things that customers have been consistently requesting from us a better method of finding game servers with the specific settings that they like. Some players want servers with friendly-fire on, or TF2 birthday mode, or 24/7 Dustbowl, and so on. Other players specifically want none of these, asking us how they can find servers with no changes. At the same time, we've watched as server operators have increasingly filled out their server names with descriptions of their custom settings. We've been working on a solution to these problems that we hope will make sense, solving the player's desire to search for specific settings, and the server operator's desire to have better descriptive tools for their server. The concept is similar to web page metatags, where server operators can specify descriptive tags in any manner, and clients can search for servers by specifying the tags they're interested in. Some tags are automatically filled in, based on server convars. For example, in TF2 we've removed the restrictions on a variety of server options (like friendly fire & respawn wave times), and now the tag system will automatically add a tag when they're changed, so that customers who want to play on these servers can easily find them. Click here: http://www.steamgames.com/v/img/whatsnew/serverTags.jpg for a screenshot of the new server browser interface that players will have. As you can see, we've put a new tab onto it called "Custom". Servers with tags will appear in this list, where the player can specify a list of tags they're interested in. The "Add Common Tags" button will give them a list of the top 20 tags in use across all the servers, so they're able to easily choose the popular tags. Untagged servers will show up in the old Internet games list.

Thanks Jason! However, I just wanted to check to see if anyone else is getting a console error on a more regular basis. "CreateFragmentsFromFile: 'downloads/d36c487e.dat' doesn't exist" The 8 alphanumeric number varies from map to map, but I'm getting it on a very very regular basis since the update and I haven't changed anything to the server itself since the update.

Re: [hlds] Problem with server listing
I think if you're on a natted network, this may also be the cause of your server not being listed. I have the same problem when I try to host a dedicated server at my house behind my linux firewall. The dedicated server doesn't know what it's public IP is, so when it tells valve's servers "hey, my IP address is 192.168.1.5" for example, the master server probably ignores it since it's an unroutable IP address. This would be my guess. Megatron wrote: I think the problem may be that there is no distinction between inbound and outbound ports. Usually all that is listed for most games is a port range. We know that port forwarding is for inbound packets and just 27015 UDP is the default port required. Most "home" firewall routers don't block outbound ports so that's usually not a concern. If you have a dedicated firewall that blocks everything inbound and outbound then some of the outbound ports need to be opened as well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ole Kristian Rosvold Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 8:45 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] Problem with server listing -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello!
