[hlds] Timelimits changing
I have a dedicated machine running Windows 2003 Server. It's a P4 2.4G with 1G ram, rented from a server company that has a bunch of machines in a room with 2 OC3 lines feeding them. I was running a 1.6 server, Condition Zero, and a CS:Source server on the machine. I noticed that when I had the Source server running, not only would it cause erratic lag problems with the other servers (even when it was empty) but the mp_timelimit variable on my other servers would change by itself. If I shutdown the Source server, map times stay constant. I restarted it for two days, map timers keep increasing to 55, then 75, then 90 minutes. Anyone else seen anything like this, or seen any other odd interactions when running multiple servers on the same dedicated machine? The resource problem seems to be separate for the map timer. I can run several instances of 1.6 and/or CZ with reasonable player limits, and they don't appear to break the server's back, so to speak. But with Source running, and just a few players in the other servers, it starts acting like it's really overwhelmed. - CorpseHumper Not just owned, degraded! www.n00bfest.com www.noobfest.com Counter-Strikecorpsehumper.com:27015 Condition Zerocorpsehumper.com:27019 - ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [OT] [hlds] Anyone know these players?
Typically, if I don't have solid evidence that a player is cheating, I gauge my actions based on the rest of the players. What I mean is,... sometimes there will be 20 people in the server, and one person comes in and goes 40-0. People start leaving, griping constantly, and calling him a hacker. He might not be hacking or cheating. He might very well be THAT good. But if that player is so good he running the rest of my players off the server, he's got to go. 112-0 is way over the top. My severs have n00bfest in the title, and hackers come in there sometimes that don't go 112-0... - CorpseHumper Not just owned, degraded! www.n00bfest.com www.noobfest.com Counter-Strikecorpsehumper.com:27015 Condition Zerocorpsehumper.com:27019 CS-Source corpsehumper.com:27018 - On Mon, 6 Sep 2004 11:02:53 +0100, DarK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Opposing force?

Re: [hlds] AMD or Intel?
Is there a mailing list somewhere that I can join that actually has something to do with running a dedicated server? What's up with the video card and CPU debates? I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm pretty busy. Aside from being spammed already, I don't enjoy fishing through an additional 40 emails a day to see 4 or 5 that are actually helpful. Watch... this will spawn an all-new, off-topic debate on spam filters and mailing list politics. I can't wait to see how many useless mails I have tonight.

Re: [hlds] VAC Update?
I started to try and be funny and simply send a one word reply that said HACKER. I had 3 servers running 1.5 up until they shut down the WON auth servers. Two of them were really popular and stayed packed constantly (my IRC channel actually had people in it waiting for open slots). The only way I've found to completely safeguard your server from malicious cheaters is to have a butt-load of trusted admins. For the 2 main servers, I had built a list of over 40 admins. At any given time of the day or night, I was likely to have 2-3 admins on each server. Sure, I had occasional admin fights and abuse complaints. I would have to post things on my forums reminding admins of the rules from time-to-time. But it's better than having some hacking faggot join your server, go 40-0 and run everyone out of there. As far as the clever or marginal hackers go (those who simply turn on the hacks from time to time) we can only hope that, as hack detection improves, they have to keep trying to get new CD keys to get back in the game. As long as they aren't scaring off the rest of my regulars, it doesn't matter as much. I've had regulars that ended-up getting banned because their cousin came over and downloaded hacks onto their computer and got them banned. That's just a cover story for the fact that VAC updated and they got banned as soon as they joined. Cut your losses and ban their new ID also. They can't be trusted. They're either lying about it, or too stupid for words. Software programs and patches can only do so much to help us out. They can thin the herd of hackers down to a managable level. Beyond that, it takes real human intervention and monitoring. Sure... sometimes good players get banned just because they're good players. You wanna know something? If they're so good that the n00bs are leaving the server in frustration, it's time to boot them anyway. I'd rather boot one innocent good player and save my newbie population. Then again... all of my servers have n00bfest in the title. ;-) CorpseHumper http://www.CorpseHumper.com --- Guido Rainuzzo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, i always thought about posting about this (months ago) and now i will share what i have to say, I will not lie, but i have cheated before. But, the world changes, so as cheats. I host a superhero server, and sometimes it takes hours if people hack, i have been begging for a VAC update, but one day i figured out that the cheats are going to evolve just as VAC does. Then one day i got my steam id banned after an update ( i am not a smart cheater ) Well, i got a copy of counter-strike, and played, and as time went by, everyone started to notice the increasement of people hacking, and hacking, and hacking. One day i decide to install skins in my cs, and i get my steam id banned, i buy a copy of CZ just for the CS:Source and i play again. I have quit playing cs. There are too many cheaters. And that about people getting banned because they're just good, it happened to me once and only once and its probably going to be my only one. Also, i dont think that 3/4 of the cs population cheats, i think it is much less then 1/3 , but what i do know is that it is increasing. I hope the people at Valve are reading these posts, we really , really , need an update. A reason in the increasements is the shut down of WON, i do believe that at least 3/4 of the cs population in WON did cheat, but a big reason that there's more cheaters in 1.6 servers is the 1.5ers moving on. Someone here said that he had to go into at least 5 different servers for there not to be any blatant cheaters, i think your exagerating a little bit there. But then again, your could be not exagerating if you went into an insecure server, which i do not see any point into going in one of those unleess you have your steam id banned. Well, that's what i think, but we should push valve for an update, stand up for the non-cheating cs-community. __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Re: [hlds] AMD or Intel?
Come on now, I wasn't looking to start a flame war. By your own admission I had a point with regard to the vid card discussion. I was honestly just looking to try and thin the number of useless emails coming through the list daily. I have no problem with discussing CPU requirements for running X number of servers on a dedicated machine. AMD vs. Intel discussions always end-up with dozens of opinions and comparisons and frankly it's tedious and tiresome for people that don't have CPU loading issues. It's almost as bad as video chipset debates, or religeon for that matter. Can't someone just simply answer the questions? Do we have to pick apart every maps's requirements and compare bits vs. bytes and nVidia vs. ATI and good grief, man --- Whisper .

Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 07:31:07 -0700 I have thus far refused to participate in the everyone hacks thread, but last nights CS experience has left me so freakin mad that I need to vent somewhere! I play only on a few servers, all West Coast. We definately have been visited time to time by super-good players, and very infrequently by someone with very questionable skills. Most of the servers are regulars so we know everyone who plays there and the regs usually pressure the hacks away pretty quickly. Last night I jump on for a few rounds before bed. Headshot, headshot, headshot, headshot - my whole freakin team dead, and all this within about 2 seconds of round start. A player named knife was using every hack imaginable: speed, aimbot, wall, everything! Typically when someone is this blatant, everyone will vote him off fairly quickly. Last night the regs were the minority and no one on the other team would vote against this guy. This totally pissed me off. I was cussing everyone out, and eventually started taunting the other players because they wouldn't vote against him. I really didn't get it. This guy would kill everyone on my team within 1-2 seconds and no one on his team would kill anyone. They wouldn't even get a shot off - how the heck can that be fun for anyone? But they wouldn't vote him off! One of my favorite servers ruined by a freak hack and loser opponents who obviously liked standing around doing nothing. wow.

You may or may not have noticed this, but this isn't a forum, it's a listsrv, and adding a one line response on top of about 22K of misquoted and mangled crap is about the most useless thing a learned admin could do. There are people who get the digest of the list and when you make posts like you did it completely destroys any sense of continuity and needlessly bloats the digests.

[hlds] Can't see the CSS server in Steam
I have a CS:Source server running on a remote machine. Everything seems to be working as well as can be expected (I get the same error messages as everyone else). People join and play on it regularly, I assume they're at Cybercafes. However, I cannot see the server in my favorites list in Steam. I've added the server IP and port, but all I see is not responding. Is this normal? Will I not be able to see it until they go live with Beta Part 2?
