Re: [hlds] TF2.... How can it be fun?
I really disliked the respawn time until I realised that it is fast for attackers, slow for defenders and equal on normal maps. This does make for a far more attacking game where on the final point it gives an extra 10 seconds or so for the attacking team to move towards your point. It's irritating if you are desperately trying to defend your point but at a game level it seems about right. I am, however, very surprised at how long it takes to connect to a server. totally agree on the respawn time. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Linking a spray to a user
Hi helpful bunch. I use mani spray tracker and recently banned a user for spraying some tasteless and illegal images of minors on my server. I have reported the user to the abuse email of his ISP and would really like to report him to the legal authorities too, however I know that they will want specific proof. I haven't touched any logs on the server and used HLSW to get the guys IP address but is there a way of linking a spray that sits in the downloads directory of the server to the person that uploaded it? I don't even know of a way to open the files there but I'm sure that the authorities could work it out, I find it sick that someone wouldn't send this stuff to anyone physically, but they think that on the internet and in games it is OK because they are anonymous. I want to prove this isn't true. He must have this image on his computer and that is illegal and wrong. It is a linux server but I'm sure the spray downloading works the same on both.

Re: [hlds] Server hosting
I'm going back a while but that option in steam where it asks you what your internet connection is is best set to your upload speed. That setting is used when pinging the servers around you to ensure that not too many are pingged at the same time if your connection cannot handle it. What happens however is that most people set it to 2MB+ when (certainly in the UK) their upload speed is more likely to be 256K. Therefore too many servers get pinged and the reply back takes longer than it would if that server would have been pinged individually. So what I suggest is to put that setting down to 256K and then let the server browser fill up. On 03/10/06, Jason O.

Re: [hlds] SV_DownloadURL
Thank you all for answering my questions on this topic. Just for the
sake of the next person who tries to do this I thought that I would
summerise my experience.
1. Find webspace and put maps folder with bsp files into it
2. Set SV_DownloadURL (ensuring there is no forward slash on the end
and the folder that you set is has the same contents as the cstrike
directory, obviously just the bits that need downloading)
3. Changelevel to a different map to test to see if the downloads work
without compression
4. Download bzip2 [ http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bzip2.htm ]
5. Install into default location
6. { My computer properties advanced environment variables path
} add your bzip2 installation directory to here (it means you can run
the command from command prompt no matter which folder you are in)
7. Create a folder and put your maps in it
8. Create a .bat file (make a text file and rename it zip_maps.bat)
9. Put this one line in it
bzip2 -k -9 *.bsp
10. Run the bat file
11. Make 2 subfolders called 'original maps' and 'compressed maps' to
ensure that you don't re-zip the same files each time
12. Upload .bsp file to the game server
13. Upload the .bsp.bz2 file to the web server
14. With a new map, test

[hlds] Fast rate of fire on servers
I have been on a couple of match servers that have fast rates of fire on weapons like AK47s and get annoyed that people would change the fire rates to try and get an advantage on maps. However I found that it happened on our server the other day with no-one changing anything (I am the only one with an rcon password) Is there sv_ commands for rate of fire on weapons and if not is there something that causes the firerate to go up that anyone knows about.

When you tag your subject HLDS, then I have to assume you mean HLDS not SRCDS Sorry, that would be GMail tagging it as [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] With regard to the original question, any noticeable loss or choke? - All the time, with choke also but 99% of the time without any choke and still fast Is it actually the client firing rate that is different, whereas the server is processing correctly? Well all clients seem to see the weapon discharge which would be the server talking right? I suppose it's hard to answer that question with 100% certainty because the server doesn't log each bullet being fired. Any mods? Chance of a mod being hacked? Anyone possibly have access to your server.cfg? Mani, mattie, hlstatsx. Only myself and the hosts could get to the server.cfg How long does the problem last? About a month. Which does coincide with a 66 tick increase. However after 3 days we went back to a 33 tick for a week and then went back up to 66 tick. The fast weapons were fast throughout all of it. Does anything else noticeable occur at the same time? Have you tried running an rcon revert all? Revert all did nothing, I just tested it.

Re: [hlds] FAO VALVE: No autoswitch?
You ask in a different list about Valve ignoring questions. Well I have been on this list about 6 months (i.e. not very long) but I have noticed this. When someone asks a new technical question, a question that you can't find by looking on the first page of a google search or, in your case, by looking through the options page, they respond. Just be fortunate that there are hundreds of other excellent server admins that are on this list that are nice enough to help people out. Please don't try to tell them that you don't want to listen to what they have to say because they don't work for Valve.

I think it's more that someone posted the command line to start it on this list.

[hlds] Watching Src TV
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I was watching a clan match on SrcTV of Sars clan Vs Terra (UK) and getting impressed at how good the auto director was. The game was transmitted with a 90 second delay. However, near the end of the game the server cut off and loaded a new map. The reason was the server had loaded a new map and SrcTV doesn't take into account the delay. So I lost exactly 90 seconds of match. So is there any way that SrcTV can be made to delay the end of the map so that we can watch the ends of matches please? Obviously it doesn't make any difference to the demos being recorded but it spoils a live match.

Re: [hlds] RANT: VAC2 servers....
Moan Moan Moan. Seeing as the options to be VAC secure haven't been released and Alfred has already commented on list and on forum about it being a glitch that it showed as secure, and steambans said that VAC is being tested on servers that don't actually show as secure... maybe you should wait a little longer before complaining. Last time I checked a beta test was to include more then just one group. Its distributed to multiple platforms to test various server configurations. This is done to ensure that MOST of the bugs are worked out and the software is stable across multiple platforms. I think back to the days of steam beta.gee that wasn't an exclusive beta test. Not one SOLE group, but multiple groups. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
[hlds] Player name bug still?
I've had a look around the past few emails and can't seem to find if this has been mentioned. I notice that a few days back the name bug was fixed meaning player names on the score board were correct. Am I right in stating that the bug is still there on the map overview screen. When I die I tend to go to map overview and I still see myself running around the map (it's someone else, it just happens to say my name under the circle) but if I first person cycle to them their name is correct at the bottom of the screen but still not on the map.

Sorry for being a little OT here but does anyone know of mods or map+nav for a CSS:Server that basically gets bots to move around in a certain area so you can do target practice on them. I'd really like to use my server, which isn't public access, to improve my shooting skills but playing a whole map isn't what I'm after.
