Re: [hlds] Potential fix for problems on multi-honed servers

Fletcher,
Can't you simply remove the flag k_uNetFlagUnboundSocket passed to
CNet::AsyncConnect in CCMInterface::Connect ?

Re: [hlds] SteamCMD alternative

[Didrole]

You have probably typed ./UpdateTool instead of ./UpdateTool*.sh*

By the way, I've just released an update for the tool (0.2) which makes it
compatible with the -autoupdate switch of srcds_run
( eg: ./srcds_run -game csgo -autoupdate -steambin ../UpdateTool.sh
-steamuser foo -steampass bar )

Hi guys, I wasn't happy with how SteamCMD works and made an alternative

I think some of you might be interested by it so here is its URL:

I haven't tested it that much, so it may have bugs.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Replay Match ID

[Didrole]

I think it's the hexadecimal value of the server session id, you can find
it in the session dmx files of the client (server_session_id), it's also
stored on the server in a convar named steamworks_sessionid_server.

Re: [hlds] STEAM Validation Rejected on Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server tool

[Didrole]

As a workaround you can launch srcds manually :
Steam/steamapps/accountname/source 2007 dedicated server/srcds.exe -steam
-game tf
It should work if you have the right steam_appid.txt

As it's a bug in steamworks and not in the game itself I doubt it will be
fixed soon.

 The problem is in the topic, except the traditional solution (adding
 steam_appid.txt with TF2's appid in the tool's folder) doesn't work, and I
 can't seem to find any other.
 Thanks in advance.

Not for now, maybe in the future.

I've released the version 1.5b, I will not update the website until I return

Here is the changelog :
Removed m_yaw and r_drawdetailprops from checked cvars on CSS.
Fixed timestamps in DBlocker.log

Re: [hlds] Fix for Loadout/Steam server bug with the Sniper update?

But that doesn't work, the client's console says that the connect command
has been blocked.

Re: [hlds] Sourcemod plugin for joining Group

[Didrole]

Do it yourself.
Advertise for your group on your server.
If somebody want to join your group he will maybe be smart enough to join it
himself by steamcommunity.

Re: [hlds] Valve L4D Group ID

I messed up.
It's :
something you have to found by yourself - 103582791429521408  = the group
id.

Valve's group id is 4 ( http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Valve ).
