[hlds] Half-Life 1 Engine dedicated server update
Updates have been released to the Half-Life 1 family of dedicated servers, run the hldsupdatetool to get the update. This update fixes a crash when sent a specially crafted connect string (the previously reported Underflow issue). This update is optional but highly recommended.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers
For the win32 server you need to run "srcds -game left4dead" right now, running just "srcds" will fail to launch. We are working on an update so you can run just "srcds". Linux guys are not effected by this problem. - Alfred > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Hotte > Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 8:26 AM > To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers > > Can someone please post their command line to get the server going? > > And where's the config file that is being used? > > Thanks > > Busterking > 10-78 Clan Boss > Visit our website > Join our forums > www.10-78.com > - Original Message - > From: "Don Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" > > Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 11:24 AM > Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers > > > > Mine did decide to stay running but I got the steam library LAN mode > only > > trash. > > - Original Message - > > From: "Chris Staley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" > > > > Sent: 2008-11-06 11:18 AM > > Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers > > > > > >> herm.. works for me.. whats your command line your using? > >> > >> All I get is the unable to load steam library error :( > >> > >> > >> Brian D'Arcy wrote: > >>> Still nothing on windows servers, just exits. :( > >>> > >>> On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 11:15 AM, Matt Lyons > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>> wrote: > >>> > >>> > >>>> Another update just went out. > >>>> > >>>> Dustin Peacock wrote: > >>>> > >>>>> The main problem I'm running to in-game is the fact that there > aren't > >>>>> > >>>> enough > >>>> > >>>>> servers.

[hlds] Half-Life 1 Engine Update Released
We have released an update to the Half-Life 1 engine, run the hldsupdatetool to get the update. This update: - enables the sv_visiblemaxplayers cvar again - fixes the setmaster command so it can be used again - lowers cpu usage Issues that are still being worked on - FreeBSD startup issues (that pipes assert) - Demo record in hltv and the constant optimisations to further help CPU usage (yes, I am looking at you Linux!). - Alfred ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 Engine Update Released
We have released an update for the Half-Life 1 engine, run the hldsupdatetool to get the update. This update fixes crashes on startup if you had a banned.cfg and the sv_password state not being displayed properly in the serverbrowser. There is a known bug with servers not listing if you use the setmaster command, so remove any setmaster calls until we can release a fix for the issue. - Alfred > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Ruymen > Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:49 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server > mailing list; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [hlds] Half-Life 1 Engine Update Released > > A new set of Steamworks features have been released for all Half-Life 1 > engine multiplayer games: Counter-Strike 1.6, Condition Zero, Team > Fortress Classic, Deathmatch Classic, Ricochet, Day of Defeat and Half- > life 1 Deathmatch.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 Beta Updated
I took a crack at making Russian walking less useful in the most recent beta update (along with some other exploits) so please check it out. I also expect that this is close to the last beta update so these changes will be rolling to the mainline cstrike soon, if you run a cstrike server make sure you test the server on your setup. - Alfred > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pawel > Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 4:38 AM > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 Beta Updated > > yes, but rusian walking, no ;] > > On Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 1:13 PM, Ronny Schedel <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > schedel.de>wrote: > > > > > Bunny hopping can be switched off by server cvars. > > > > > Why? > > > > > > BunnyHopping is okey. > > > > > > But russian walking is stupid, looks horrible and is annoying. > Worst than > > > BH! :P > > > > > > On Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 2:39 AM, Rikard Bremark > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > > > > >> i cant agree more on the first question with the russian walk its > pretty > > >> god damn annoying. > > >> and for the other bugs and exploits on maps and so forth i bet the > > >> community would support and love them as much as we srv op does. > > >> bunny hopping is a third thing that would be needed to really be > fixed. > > >> -- > > >> //Rikard 'Zapy' Bremark > > >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >> Warzone Short Valley - Warzone.nu > > >> > > >> > > >> Ferenc Kovacs wrote: > > >> > 2008/9/28 fishy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> > > > >> > > > >> >> I almost hate to mention it, but there is one fix a majority of > 1.6 > > >> >> players would support, which would encourage more server ops to > fire > > >> >> up > > >> >> beta servers, and help garner support for the new format you > are > > >> >> bringing to the staid counter-strike community.

No, the achievement fixes are client side (and steam backend server side).

Re: [hlds] New server attack/exploit?
A syn-flood is a TCP attack, SRCDS queries and game data goes via UDP. In theory it could be a syn-flood attack on the RCON port but that would cause the machine to slow down (as the OS handles the syn's), not the game process only. It sounds like someone was sending you lots of query packets, when you see it next time try out those cvars that Andreas posted. - Alfred > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Paloma > Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 9:54 AM > To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' > Subject: Re: [hlds] New server attack/exploit? > > Would a synflood affect the performance of srcds?

RE: [hlds] Win32 hldsupdatetool updated
There needs to be an appdir.txt file in the base dir along with the other hldsupdatetool files, that file controls what files go into the orange box folder. - Alfred Steve S. wrote: > After updating to the new version..

RE: [hlds] Win32/Linux hldsupdatetool update released
The update fixes the "ContentServer rejected client session login" problem, "Connection Reset, WinSock Error 10054 "Connection reset by peer"" is still on the list. For now if you run hldsupdatetool with "-retry" on the command line it should keep retrying in the face of this error. - Alfred Steven Hartland wrote: > Hmm that the timeout error I was referring to which Alfred just said > was fix is this not the case? > > - Original Message - > From: "Bobby35ny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> Fix this one next..:) >> >> Checking/Installing 'Base Source Shared Models' version 4 >> >> Connection Reset, WinSock Error 10054 "Connection reset by peer" > > > > This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. > and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

RE: [hlds] Battle Summary
Jub Jub? The game was design for 24 players and was breaking for clients with lower end PC's when more than that were added, so in the interest of fair game play for all only 24 player or less servers are listed.

RE: [hlds] Source Dedicated Server Beta Update
"sv_pure 2" is mean for league play inparticular, so you can make sure that the server is running in a trusted mode for the away team. It only allows Steam content, no content from disk (i.e custom maps, etc) can be used in this mode. It should only be used for league play, normal internet servers should use "sv_pure 1". - Alfred James Gray wrote: > How will 'sv_pure 2' affect the use of custom maps?

You can also create map specific pure server configs (that overlay on top of the base pure server config). Just put a file called "_whitelist.txt" in your maps directory (i.e "maps/de_dust_whitelist.txt") to use this feature. We expect map makers to create their own whitelists for custom maps. - Alfred Kevin Ottalini wrote: > You can enforce external folder level consistancy for custom content > with > crc checks so server ops dont need to list tons of individual files, > just > the folder(s). > > This is a very sweet option, thank you Alfred! > > // Three types of file specifications: > // > // 1. directory\*.* - refers to all files under the directory > // 2. directory\... - refers to all files under the directory and > all directories under that (recursively) > // 3. directory\filename - refers to a single file > > > > - Original Message - > From: "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: > Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 3:10 PM > Subject: RE: [hlds] Pure Server Mode Question / Request > > >> Um, please have a read of the pure server config file.

RE: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta (cl_restrict_server_commands)
The convar was removed as we had no effective way to otherwise protect it. Large numbers of servers were using exploits to set the value of this cvar without the users permission. If you write a plugin that runs client commands and you believe you have a command that won't let you exploit a users game process (i.e rebind keys, kills them, etc) then mail me (offlist) the details and we can talk about adding it to the allowed list.

Or that we live in different timezones and aren't at the keyboard 24/7... Ever think of that? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hell Phoenix Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 9:20 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta (cl_restrict_server_commands) The betas are awesome...nobody is disagreeing with that. The point is that a fairly major feature has been changed...and it wasnt even in the changelog. And then when asked about it, it was like an afterthought "Oh yeah...we removed that". Our players just want to have fun and play in a place where all things are equal (no rate hacking or regular hacks etc). They dont care if we have to run commands on them to do that. However now we have completely lost the ability to do certain things. All players see is that us server owners are taking away their fun and complain (and sometimes leave). They dont understand. Valve doesn't pay for servers, we do. MY money is going into keeping valve alive (my running servers lets people buy more games and they then have somewhere to play). Valve needs to realize this. In their "Infinite wisdom" they forget that without server operators, a mod dies. There have been plenty of mods that have come and gone, and because they only had players (not server operators) behind them, they never took off. We are waiting for valve to reply and tell us WTF is going on...but the lack of a reply is a pretty good indication that they are giving us operators a giant middle finger.

Just wanted to make sure. Was this released an hour or two ago? I did a
reboot an hour or two ago, and now I can't run HLDM:S or any of the SDK
tools. My first thought was that a steam update got released and broke
something. That likelyhood is now my prime suspect :(.

RE: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
Actually, not much once the level loads. We CRC appropriate materials
(based upon your pure server whitelist settings) on map change so it
needs to read a bunch off files off disk at that point (its doing it
already anyway due to the map change itself). Once the server spawns the
only overhead is users reporting files they load to the server, the
bandwidth hit of this is very minimal however.
Client side it does incur a little more memory usage (to start tracking
some things about files) but again its in the noise compared to the
texture memory games use :)

[hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
We have done another update to the Source Engine Dedicated server beta.
This one is a BIG update, in particular we have added a pure server mode
(can you say whoop?).
To get the beta run the hldsupdatetool with "-beta srcds0407". To test
the pure server functionality you also need to run the beta client, you
do this by adding "-beta srcds0407" to your Steam command line.
This version also fixed several reported bugs when using
"sv_master_legacy_mode 0", please try it again if you found bugs with
this setting previously.
Detailed changes for this beta update are:
- In-game server browser only shows human players in the player counts
column. Bots column now shows number of bots instead of a "some bots" /
"no bots" icon.
- Fixed servers with bots reporting incorrect number of bots when
sv_master_legacy_mode was set to 0.
- Fixed user names reported as "unconnected" when > 32k players had
connected to the server.
- Expanded the disconnect reason dialog.
- Make sv_contact FCVAR_NOTIFY
- Added a "cl_language" cvar that seeds itself from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Language.
- Added IServerGameClients::NetworkIDValidated
- Made maximum rate 1000Kb/s.
Pure Servers
Server can now force the client to match the server's files. If the
server sets sv_pure to 1, it'll load
pure_server_whitelist.txt from the game path, which specifies sets of
files that are allowed to come from
Steam, allowed to come from disk, and require CRC checks.
When the client connects to a server and receives the whitelist, it
reloads resources that may be "dirty"
(like the client loaded the file off disk but the server only allows
the file to come from Steam).
The server can set sv_pure_trace to show which files clients are
requesting CRCs for.
By default, the server will just show a warning when a client has a
mismatched file. If they set
sv_pure_kick_clients to 1, then the server will kick clients that have
mismatching files.

RE: [hlds] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
There is a bug in the server causing it to wait too long for connections when it is in a certain state (after restart in particular) and we have a couple servers being slow right now.

[hlds] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
We have a beta update for the Source Engine available for Dedicated servers. To get the update run the hldsupdatetool with "-beta srcds0407" on the command line. This update addresses some lag issues that have been seen when running the Source Engine (in particular, it programmatically does something similar to using the net_queuesplits cvar). - Alfred ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

RE: [hlds] Master server reporting beta
Low IP's do not come first, haven't for years. The current system returns you IP's from near your address first and then fans out (essentially converting an IP to an integer and walking that list). For our next iteration we plan on including geo-location capabilities to catch the cases where this fails (yes, I am looking at you France). - Alfred Cc2iscooL wrote: > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Ooh, awesome!

[hlds] Master server reporting beta
We have new code in development that changes how servers report to the server list (in anticipation of increasing the information in that stream). The initial change has no feature changes, it is just a different code path for reporting the same information. We need in field testing of this feature, can you please put "sv_master_legacy_mode 0" in your server.cfg to test this feature and then monitor the presence of your server on the Steam master server lists (via the Steam serverbrowser ideally). Once we have had this "shake down cruise" this setting will be made default. - Alfred ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Because is would mean giving away Half-Life 1: Source for free, something we aren't interested in doing at this time for the reason of allowing hldsupdatetool to work with it. - Alfred Ook wrote: > I can't believe there is any technical reason why it can't be made > available > via hldsupdatetool.

RE: [hlds] hl1mp out of date, please restart server. Now what?
You need to do whatever magic you did the first time to get the updated hl1mp content we released this last week, that is why you are out of date.
