Re: [hlds] CSS VAC

2007-02-12 Thread Ben Laban

Have you got +IP x.x.x.x set as a command line paramater? We were
having major troubles last year getting VAC working, and thats all it
needed.

I noticed some messages re: VAC, i just recently moved two servers that were 
working perfectly on Server 2003 onto new hardware running vista ultimate and i 
can't seem to get the second server to contact vac.  Am i missing something?  I 
have all needed port (i think) open to do this.  Perhaps the built in firewall 
works differently.

Re: [hlds] DOD:S Bots

2007-02-12 Thread Ben Laban

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=38563

A plugin that 'fakes' clients being connected. A right pain when
browsing servers, agreed.

A filter in the Steam browser to hide fake clients/bots would be nice
(including SRCTVs). If I filter my server list right now to servers
with players on, 4 are full, 7 have fake clients on, and 10 are empty
save for SRCTV. Thats only 4/17 that actually have players on.

Last night while helping a friend setup his network and load steam to
play DOD:S I went to 4 servers that appeared to be full and not one of
them had a single person playing.  I usually play on servers that do not
use the spectator bot ploy so I've never felt how irritating this this
is to new players.  I really think this exploit should be removed by
valve.  Who knows how many servers you would have to visit before you
actually could find one with people actually playing on it.  I would
rather see empty servers than have fake full ones.  For the best
possible scenario I would actually prefer to have DOD:S bots just like
CS:S.  Why shouldn't DOD:S have bots?  It's the same engine as CS:S
right?  Anyone else feel this way?

Re: [hlds] SRCDS Question

2006-10-21 Thread Ben Laban

SRCDS connects to the Steam servers using local UDP port 26900 for the
first instance, 26901 for the second instance etc. Checking that your
firewall is letting that through is a start I guess :-)
Having said that, HLDS does the same, and you had that working without issue.

Re: [hlds] Questions about sv_maxrate for DOD Server

2005-07-08 Thread Ben Laban
You may want to either increase your maxrate setting or lower your
maxupdate setting for DoD as network packets can get pretty big
(300-400b) on a large server with the minimap on. Assuming that these
settings are whats causing your 'performance issues'.  Might pay to
take a butchers at your servers CPU usage / FPS etc first. DoD servers
can be quite resource savvy.

In Day of Defeat you can get up to 400Bytes per packet with the
minimap on. With net_graph set to 3 you can see the size (in bytes) of
incomming and outgoing packets.
