Re: [hlds] L4D/L4D2 run as the same server?
Staying on list topic, it doesn't matter if you like it or not as a game server admin. It's all about whether there are enough players that enjoy it enough to play on your L4D servers (if you have them). More experienced gamers were greatly disappointed with L4D and most likely won't waste their money on the second one. That leaves zombie fanatics and teenagers that you'll mostly find on L4D2 servers in the future. Personally, I enjoyed your analogy, but can we return the list from the server admin perspective, rather than a player perspective?

Re: [hlds] BAN Spy Scripts Anyone?
If there is a round trip to the server and back every time the wait command is used, I sure hope there are anti-DoS measures in place, otherwise it's quite possible for them to flood the server. The server should respond back only 1x every # seconds to avoid this. In between, just ignore incoming wait checks from that user. Actually, admins may prefer someone attempting this, to be temp banned from the server for # minutes, and a perm ban after # attempts. -- HoundDawg UnitedAdmins.com http://steamcommunity.com/groups/UACommunity Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald wrote: > I've noticed that when running the wait command with this enabled has the > server reply with "unknown command: wait" > > So it would be possible to implement a server side version of the command > that perhaps informs them scripts not allowed. > > ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] New Weapon Drops
Yes, I have to agree with the "rush". I hear plenty of comments on how disappointed that the actual release, although contained what the marketing promised, it lacked the quality that the marketing provided us over the past 2 weeks. It wouldn't be nearly as bad, if the issues were not so simple that even a quick 3 round test couldn't spot. Unfortunately, it does appear, that so many issues could have been easily caught through some sort of QC test. Regardless, I know that Valve is aware of the issues, and are working on a patch. It's nothing new and we've been here with every update. In the meantime, if pipeline is crashing your sever, remove it from the playlist and vote, until it's fixed. Fresh updates require admins to be calm, smart, resiliant, and patient. -- HoundDawg UnitedAdmins.com http://steamcommunity.com/groups/UACommunity Joel R. wrote: > I have to agree, I don't like this system at all. > > It seems rushed and not very thought out.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Team balancer
Not sure why not all of my posts are reaching the list yet. I had mentioned that really the only way to get a true balancer is to base it on history, such as stats. I also had mentioned that the formula would have to based on ratios and percentages, as well as include non-frag stats like sapping, bonking, teleporting, etc.. Without a complete stats picture and basing team balance on historical player data, no team balance addon is going to come close. If you base it on only the current session, you'll end up with very skilled players just joining the server, right before the scramble, with the high probability of having an even greater stacked team. I see it happen all the time. Using a formula based on ratios and percentages, it really doesn't matter how long the player has been on, but at least it'll know the regulars, which are most important anyway. Non-frag stats are an issue with current scrambles based on the scoreboard anyway. I haven't looked yet, but this is largely dependent upon how much statistic data Valve is exposing to the logs.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Team balancer
The problem I have, is when these team scrambles look at the current gaming session only. This misses the boat often when it's done shortly after some top players just joined the server and are at the bottom of the list. I think a good and more accurate team scramble should be integrated with a stats application, which is tracking the skill level of players over time. At the same time, you still have to account for the players that have had time to accumulate stats for the server, and those that recently just started playing. So, you'll definitely want to base this on a formula with ratios and percentages. Also, the stats application should be tracking not just frags, but also other class strengths that help the team, like spy saps, scout bonks, etc. HoundDawg bl4nk wrote: > Give me a good formula to use and a description of how you want the team > balancer to work (I already wrote a simple one here: > https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=823288#post823288 that > scrambles the teams based on scores at the beginning of a new round) and > I'll happily make one. > > > ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Sorry, it's been a number of years since I've been an active server admin. So, after all of these years, the VAC isn't sufficient enough still?

Due to legal and corporate policies within Valve, Alfred can't give you a timeframe. Most game development companies, and even other development companies will simply reply "when it's ready".

Re: [hlds] how to reduce choke and loss on a LAN
I would say that it's more of a network configuration issue than a HLDS issue. I'm sure there are ppl on the list that could help point out some things. Especially when it comes to the type of hub/switch you use (hint, don't use a hub, get a switch). What would help others out more, would be for you to include more details about your LAN configuration and the type of equipment used for the network connections as well as the OS types.

Re: [hlds] Clients dropping and experiencing lag for no reason
Actually Leon, on my TFC servers, I've discovered that (if spectators are enabled) you can't join spectators until after you join the game first. This for sure is the case with an empty server, and I believe it happened to me last night on a half filled server. It's a little irritating if you just want to join and spectate. I don't know if this is a bug related to the dropping of players (which I don't think I have) or by design to battle the spectate exploits. Anyway, just a heads up.

Re: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
LOL, Ryan and Bryan, thanks for trying to help me. But, neither of those are issues. Well, the closest possiblity would be the cached DNS, but that gets blown during the service restart which I did do. I can ping the WON servers fine. DNS and IP methods. The server will go up and run with usually no problem there. The problem starts after the first person joins the server. Some, have mentioned that it could possibly be some buffer queue that will end up getting filled up and not cleared out. I restarted my whole server and the 1 TFC server is back online. I'll see how well it works and how long. =\ FYI, I've ran other versions of HLDS on the same exact server with the same exact configs and everything for about 2 years now. These problems just started about 3 weeks after installing the 4108 patch. =\ HoundDawg http://www.phpGamingSite.com http://www.unitedadmins.com http://www.unitedadmins.com/hlbp - Original Message - From: "Ryan McCullough" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 12:01 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet? > someone give him the new ip addys.

Re: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
Heh, those chokes may have been while I was working on the server in search of what is wrong. So, it could have been a locked down firewall or I took the DNS or email server temporarily offline. The only thing running on the server with any problems is HLDS. In fact, here's a strange one. Ping the server and get ~50ms. Go into GameSpy and refresh, it pings ~50ms. Go in game and sometimes have a latency of ~2000-3000. But, external pings and such are still at 50ms. Needless to say, I'll probably re-install the entire HLDS (full install again) to see if I still have the same problems. I doubt it will help, but, it's worth a try anyway.

Re: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
Yes, I think most servers are fine. But, there is still a batch of us that are having problems.

I know this isn't the case since the email server uses the same dns server and I haven't had any problems with that. It was a good idea though.

Re: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
After further analysis, I've discovered that (like a previous report from another admin) the console locks up about the same time the server is not available. I try typing stuff into the console and nothing, like it's locked up. I'll have to assume this is because HLDS's sockets are waiting for a timeout with one of the WON servers or something. After a few minutes, the console works again and the commands I previously typed show up in the console and are processed. The server then shows online again.

[hlds] WON Fixed Yet?
Valve (Eric, Erik, Yahn), Did you fix the WON servers yet? Last I heard was that they were going to get cleared up over a few days. Well, my servers had problems keeping players the past 2 weekends and now here it is Monday and my TFC servers remain unplayable. Why? Players can see my server, then connect (which may cause problems at times due to some timeouts) and then play for maybe a few minutes to only get dropped. I have wasted too much time trying to track this down. Here are my observances: 1) HLDS console shows no errors. It's not even crashing because it doesn't have a chance to, I guess. 2) HLDS console shows that users are dropping due to timeouts. 3) Server's Internet connection is rock solid on a DS3. I verified this so many ways. No hiccups and no port floods. 4) Situation happens on all latest beta patches. 5) No AdminMOD installed or anything else that could be causing problems. 6) System resources are barely touched with nearly 1 GB free memory. 7) CPU processors are hardly used with peaks of 5% during map changes. =\ 8) There is nothing else on the server that can be causing this problem. This has been a very frustrating month dealing the the problems that plague 4108x. I've lost many regulars and even my own guild members keep wondering why other servers around don't have the problem that I'm experiencing. I really don't have a clue except that the problem with the HLDS servers are definately not on my end. All I ask, is if you need any information from me to help fix this and whether you have some sort of timeframe? Any other fellow admins experiencing these problems? All of those that I was aware of that had the same problems have dropped their HLDS servers and have moved on to other games. I'd rather not go there though.

Re: [hlds] TFC: SERIOUS problems with TFC -- I'm REALLY frustrated
Do you think that it just may be that seti@home was developed more for the windows 9x/ME systems and not the w2k systems? Besides, I highly doubt you can use that as a test. Especially, when there are many, many w2k servers running services and applications that haven't had any memory or resource problems for over 2 years. Although, I still wouldn't recommend running HLDS on win9x/ME. I couldn't tell ya about XP Home edition as I haven't tested anything lower than XP professional.

Yeah, I was totally aware of that... but I wasn't sure who makes the overall descisions on rules/policy and when do they make their announcements more broad on their site.

Most likely, the only performance enhancement there may be, if any, is when HLDS first starts up and does the IPX check.

Re: [hlds] unban command
Title: RE: [hlds] unban command Well, when you ban someone in game... like in rcon using "banid" or "banip", the ban stays in HLDS memory until the server is restarted. The bans will go away when the HLDS server is restarted UNLESS you do a "writeid" and/or "writeip" (depending on the type of bans) before you restart the server. These are the only commands that will write the banned file. While in console with rcon (or at the server window directly), you can get a list of bans by issueing either "listid" or "listip". To remove a ban, use the "removeid" or "removeip" command. These are hlds commands and have nothing to do with any addon like AdminMOD. If you still don't know how to do this, then get something like ClanMOD (http://olo.counter-strike.pl/clanmod_en.htm) that will give you an in-game gui to manage your bans.

Re: [hlds] RE: [hlds][OT] MicroShaft
And one of their biggest marketing and lamest upgrade? WinME. Basically, they got all these Windows9x users to pay them money to upgrade to an unstable version of Windows that basically really only offered them more driver support a few enhancements in the multimedia arena and it included the latest media player which everyone can dl for free from Microsoft's website anyway. Why was that done? M$ for some reason, wanted an infusion of cash I guess. It was the most upsetting upgrade in their history. Many people have gone back down to Windows98 se2. I'd have to agree with Stan. I too used to be a die hard Microsoft supporter. Well, I'm pretty much done with paying for problems and then again for technical support to help fix the problems.

Re: [hlds] [OT] Re: Penguin promised land
1) You must have a bad switch or a low end one. My colo has a monitor/mouse/keyboard switch, I have a w2k server, so guess what? It's worked fine for over a year and a half. I think the key there is that the switch has to maintain power to the mouse port even if you're switched to another set (server). 2) You can always go USB for the w2k server. That works great!

Re: [hlds] RE: [hlds][OT]
LOL, and what makes you think these sites will ever go back to M$ technologies? I've seen more advantages with PHP than ASP will ever hope to reach. Don't even bring .NET (a.k.a. .EXPLOIT) to the picture. Fact is, M$ technologies cost too much out of the box and you end up with less functionality than other technologies like PHP, JSP, and Java. As for the new XP, unless M$ does something with the spyware and licensing implementations (which is highly doubtful), they're going to lose a large percentage of servers (market share) within the next few years. We've seen this happen before with great companies such as Lotus. But, if you prefer to stay with M$, good luck to you...

Well, if you look at my last example lines again, you'll notice that the third param is "+motdfile motd_27015.txt". I believe that the rule of thumb with parameters is that actual HLDS parameters such as "port" and "game" use the "-" prefix while all commands used in console are prefixed with a "+". So, in your example above, just change the "-servercfgfile" and "-mapcyclefile" to "+servercfgfile" and "+mapcyclefile" accordingly. Maybe Valve can verify this confusion. Or, better yet, allow either the "+" or "-" to be used for all parameters. Ok, here is the list of parameters we have used during this thread: -game -noipx -port +exec +map +mapcyclefile +maxplayers +motdfile +servercfgfile You can put maxplayers into the server.cfg file if you like. Also, I believe that if you want the "+servercfgfile" to be used during the first load, you have to do the "+exec" parameter with the same filename used in the "+servercfgfile".

Re: [hlds] Multiple Servers & Different Map Cycles on one box?
heh. Yes, I do know and use this method. First, let me share a little implementation history. Deacon and I have been working through several implementation methods of multiple servers to find the most optimum. First, like many others, we installed completely new versions of HLDS + MOD in seperate directories like: d:\games\hlds\27015 (HLDS root) d:\games\hlds\27015\cstrike (MOD root) d:\games\hlds\27016 (HLDS root) d:\games\hlds\27016\tfc (MOD root) ... This worked, but, it was still a pain to maintain during every patch release (especially for Deacon who had like 25+ HLDS servers on a single PC). So, we figured out a way to install 1 copy of HLDS, but have multiple subdirectories for each port (which was basically copying each mod directory into a port named subdirectory. Here is what that looked like: d:\games\hlds (HLDS root) d:\games\hlds\27015\cstrike (MOD root) d:\games\hlds\27016\tfc (MOD root) ... In order to implement this method, we changed the -game parameter to: hlds.exe -port 27015 -noipx -game 27015\cstrike hlds.exe -port 27016 -noipx -game 27016\tfc This was still inefficient since we had to upgrade all the MOD directories during each MOD upgrade. This was still a headache. So, we figured out how to use the other parameters so we can have multiple copies of HLDS launching with their own .cfg files. Now, our directories were like: d:\games\hlds (HLDS root) d:\games\hlds\cstrike (MOD root) d:\games\hlds\tfc (MOD root) With our parameters like: hlds.exe -port 27015 -noipx -game cstrike +motdfile motd_27015.txt +mapcyclefile mapcycle_27015.txt +servercfgfile server_27015.cfg +exec server_27015.cfg hlds.exe -port 27016 -noipx -game tfc +motdfile motd_27016.txt +mapcyclefile mapcycle_27016.txt +servercfgfile server_27016.cfg +exec server_27016.cfg hlds.exe -port 27017 -noipx -game tfc +motdfile motd_27017.txt +mapcyclefile mapcycle_27017.txt +servercfgfile server_27017.cfg +exec server_27017.cfg Now, if you need to have 1x settings upon HLDS launch, just create another .cfg file and add another +exec on the commandline (untested). We basically log on all of our servers so we just set the "log on" in the autoexec.cfg that the hlds uses for all servers. But, at least each server has it's own set of other .cfg files. So, where does that leave us today? We now do a single installation of HLDS and of each MOD we use. I haven't been able to figure out how to specify different liblist.gam files or even if that is possible. Also, enhancement MODs like AdminMOD, ClanMOD, or even NeoTF have their own ways of implementation which makes our lives a little bit of a challenge. I will leave you with this though. Me, along with a group of others are working on a group of websites that will contain useful information such as this post in the near future. UnitedAdmins.com will be folded into the new network but will be more open and provide better information. We're also branching out to support developers and mappers. So, look for future announcements on this in the weeks to come. If you are interested in joining the project team for these websites, please reply (privately) to me. Thank you and hopefully this information was useful. P.S. Although many of you disliked Deacon, he is pretty bright and knowledgeable, not to mention instrumental in the many hours spent in the optimization of multiple server hosting.

Re: [hlds] Nextwish demo of hacks
Well, most of the time you don't have the actual hackers using these hacks. Most likely, they're teen punks that are using the hacks and most are looking to get banned anyway. It really doesn't matter to them because they can just go to another server. They usually stay away from the ones that they are regulars to though. Also, keep in mind that older players which are used to playing in god mode for the lack of skill and/or patience to play the game normally are also drawn to this hack. Unfortunately, I know others that are game playing pre-madonas that are bored with normal gameplay and end up utilizing various hacks out there. Either way, I despise the actions from them all. I'm just glad that these type of people hang out in the CS and DoD servers more than the TFC servers. Otherwise, all of my servers would become private to only those with membership to play which would be the many regulars that do play there. =\ HoundDawg http://www.phpGamingSite.com http://www.unitedadmins.com http://www.unitedadmins.com/hlbp - Original Message - From: "sharon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 5:15 AM Subject: [hlds] Nextwish demo of hacks Next wish have a demo on their site of all the most nasty hack yet for cs and it can be used with any operating system and is just a matter of a double click. http://www.nextwish.org/index.shtml#newsitem1003118482,95651, This is getting bad and I see people droppng cs now because of this.

Re: [hlds] New Beta TFC Server
Well, are those all of the fixes? What about these:
1) HL Clients send packets to the server via port 0. The number of packets
during the course of a few minutes range from 1-500 (my zone alarm is
blocking these). It appears they happen more during map changes where users
are having problems rejoining the game. Also, it is usually during this
time where HLDS will sometimes crash with errors similar to something like
"bad packet address" (I don't remember the exact error either).
2) Server instability. This may greatly be related to #1. All I know is
that the server crashes without any of the issues listed below in the fixes
in this beta. What's sad, is this instability issue is almost like having a
1 year reunion with our crashing HLDS servers last year which took like
nearly 6 months to fix. =\
3) Sometimes after the map changes, half of the players (on a full 18 player
server) have a hard time joining the game. Basically, they are stuck in the
gui menu for selecting a team. Either they have to wait a long time or just
reconnect to the server. Again, may be related to #1.
4) This patch has added a great deal of in game lag. Modem users can see
the packet problems especially when they are using the in-game voice
feature. So, many of them are opting out of using that at all now.
Otherwise, just general gameplay and at times, there will be a period where
all of the players and gameplay is lagging like we were all playing with a
latency of 800-1500 while the scoreboard still reports our latency as 40-60.
This type of lagged gameplay makes it nearly impossible to play at all. I'd
hate to be in a match when this happens.
5) Players are adapting their BHop/Glide scripts to the patch changes to
where the HWG is back BHopping with ease again and at the same speed (as it
appears anyway, like a hwg BHopping outdistancing a running scout). I guess
that we may have to live with BHOPs since you may not be able to fix it
without messing other thing up. 1108 has become more pickier with map
connection points. If the map isn't design where the wall or ground slope
connection points are perfect, players can get stuck there. It reminds me a
lot of playing DoD now (they have that bad).
6) At times, respawn players will get killed if another respawns in the same
position shortly after. This somewhat was there prior to 4108 though. I've
just experienced it a little more frequently now. =\
The most critical are 1-3 with 4 close behind (even more important than the
fixed items you list below which could be avoided or dealt with a little
more easily). The others we can live with.

Although HLStats does miss some stats and it would help if Simon re-designed the way he saves the data so more efficient and effective stats can be derived. Nonetheless, here are some of it's strong points: - Processes in real time and not by saved logs. - Easily supports multiple MODs and multiple Servers. - Although it has some basic awards, it's fairly easy to add more awards or even adjust the stat modifiers. Although it doesn't provide all of the stats I would like, the first 2 features I listed were a must for our stats requirements. The others (the other 2 and a few others that I've tested in the past) don't even come close. So, for an existing stat program, HLStats works for us. Everyone prefers different things, so what works for me may not be important for you. That's fine. > Log-Anal - First off get a real name.

You can view that with even more detail and a more chronological way in HLStats. When looking at a player's detail stats, there's a link toward the upper right to view the player's "Event History". We'll continue to use HLStats until something comes along better (which hasn't) or I develop my own again (used to have a custom one a few HL versions back).

Re: Demo Of Cheating in TFC (NoClip+SpeedHack)
Well, first of all, you have to watch it a little bit until you start seeing the cheating messages. Then, you'll see a red HWG running around with his legs through the floor going really fast (hence the Speed hack) and mowing down all of the blue... he even goes through the walls (hence the NoClip hack). You'll see some more messages and eventually a second HWG doing the same thing.
