Re: [hlds] Anti-Spam commands
Yes!
What you want is these (values shown are
default)
tfc_spam_limit 20 (sets number of messages
allowed per minute)
tfc_spam_penalty1 8 (level1 gagging
punishment)
tfc_spam_penalty2 2 (level2 gagging
punishment)
The limit sets the max text messages they can do in
one minute. Default is 20, somewhere about 12-14 is sensible.
Penalty one sets the amount of time they are initially gagged for, and penaly2
sets the additional time added for each extra spammed message.
E.g. Someone hits their
'!!!LOL--Headshot!!--LOL!!! bind 20 times in a minute. the 21st time they
will recieve a message saying they have been quietened for 9 seconds for
spamming (yeah i know its set at 8, but it always does 9) ... If they shut up, 9
secs will pass, and they can talk again. IF they continue tryiing to spam,
each message adds 2 secs gagging to their total gag time.
Ours are now set up at _limit 12 _penalty1
20 _penalty2 30. 12 spams a minute allowed, on 13th gets a 20 sec
gag, and each extra spam after that gets them an extra 30 secs.
Hope its clear now :)

Thanks for the info, do you know if this works in
OZ-Death match? I used to have a really great server.cfg that came with
a Linux HDLS tool i was using (when i ran Linux) but i lost it and the tool
isn't available any more. If I remember correctly, set a wait period
that had to expire before you could write another message.

Re: [hlds] RE: [hlds][OT] MicroShaft
It wouldn't be so bad if they were making profits by selling high volumes of well designed software thru the customers choosing and paying for quality on an even playing field. That's competition. However they do not, they utilise their position as the dominant oligopoly player to muscle $£Y out of the words companies and homes selling, well, s**t (in some opinions) because the users have little, or no choice. If M$ makes a product, or solution, then if its poor, or primitive, then if users have no other choice that rubbish becomes the only solution, however poor. Combine this with the constant driving of the O/S to replace all the (by M$ standards) outdated stuff, you have holes in operation appearing all the time thru stuff that worked perfectly well as a solution becoming outdated or not supported, with good ole M$ to the helm to plug the hole. Among the many areas they affect, the latest 2 stunts on my 'why I hate M$' list are the proposed licensing changes and the XP no ogl farce. Wtf are they? Enablers? no, providers? certainly not- they are controllers, with the primary aim of making money thru the market having limited options, and not succeeding by giving value for money or innovative design Rah!

Agreed, the selection used to be 'stikky' needing a couple of clicks to choose team sometimes, Ive heard complaints before but it was just an annoyance then, you got in on the 2nd or 3rd go usually.

Yes, you are correct, all clients have the same pak0.pak files - there should be one per mod. You wont need to provide them seperately, but resgen does list the files in them as a required component.

Re: Where to find missing resources?
Ok, what you appear to have here is a mixture. The majority is from your default TFC install in the valve and tfc pak0.pak (s) and some custom maps stuff I dont recognise. Also theres some CS stuff and I dont know that either but i see its different. Get a hold of pacscape (or wally, not so good, or any pak editor EXCEPT pak explorer) and check the pak0 in each mods root folder you have an instal for and Im guessing thatll give you most of what your looking for. By what I recognise you will be able to check off at least 85% of that stuff as present, esp the majority of the gfx/env stuff, and the sounds, vox and fvox stuff. The shorter list will then be easier to track down specific items. Maybe you could post back then if your still in trouble finding some things.

Re: won id sharing..
I admit, I have installed it on 2 nodes of my network in times past, my server, and a seperate gaming machine to join whatever game i want (but dont have blood people coming and playing on it). Ok, it may be a slight contravention of the EULA but to me, thats only the same as what I could have run off of one machine- the seperate client was for me to grab the stick and frag an hour or so, no matter what state the server - running or with cfgs and apps flopping out of it Since I dont run a public 24/7 from this location, its only rarely that i need to run a test rig - but I also 'have' 20 remote hlds under my responsibility for all m/cycles, global cvars, map stocks, adminmod blah blah blah, and running up a 'test' server here used to be handy to make changes and extract setup files to be ported over to the server farms 20. Thing is, like a lot of admins, I havnt been paid (not even the game vouchers that were promised by my last gsp before they went under) , I get my enjoyment from being part of the community, the learning and playing, and altho a 2nd copy of HL isnt that expensive, in accounting terms it would be purely to cover the odd week that I need to do something for the role i fill still unpaid. A role that gives 20x enjoyment once set up, being a major player in the UK public TFC global arena. If the ID pool count has been changed, I guess I wont be doing that any more and all testing has to be on my gaming machine- pahh :( Aside from the arguments of wether we should or shouldnt, illegal or not, theres one thing I wanna throw in the chat - Wont doing this may force many hackers to manufacture/obtain keygens, so increasng the number of people that get their key 'stolen' Just a thought Ad - Original Message - From: "Ken Kirchner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:07 AM Subject: Re: won id sharing.. > > I think you must be a very happy man. :-) > > On Mon, 24 Sep 2001, Buddha-Pest wrote: > > > > > i ignore both :) > > > > - Original Message - > > From: "Ken Kirchner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 3:06 PM > > Subject: Re: won id sharing.. > > > > > > > > > > How do you separate the trolls from the truley ignorant individuals? > > > > > > On Mon, 24 Sep 2001, Buddha-Pest wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > guys, we all know how you feel. > > > > > > > > do you know what a troll is? because y'all were just troll'ed... > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > Ken Kirchner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Assistant System Administrator : Tel (318)222-2638 > ShreveNet, Inc. : Fax (318)213-2650 > > ShreveNet - Your Premium Internet Service Provider! > > >

Re: Server WAD Errors
Its just a thought - a while back i had problems with tfc finding certain wads on launch- I couldnt explain it, and just in testing i put one in the Half-Life\valve folder instead of the tfc folder, and it found it, - I put the rest of the wads in and it was fine. Ive since reinstalled to a new box and the fault didint reoccur, but 2 others on here reported the same problem since Ad - Original Message - From: Mark W.

Best Bots for online TFC server??[REPOST]
Oops- I seem to have nested that wrong, lol- ok, ill try again on a fresh thread, sorry. Best Bots for online TFC server?? Ive played one i found on the net many months ago- the bots were obviously in need of improvement, but it was a good change for a nights play. Now we are getting more refined variations in AI and use, I was wondering what ones are working for people experimenting adding them to TFC servers. Ive not really studied the bot areas since the early ones were a bit of a pain and needed tweaking/improving. Ideally, they should be preconfigured- i have console access but am not located with the hardware- our big cheese server admin will have to install them, and hes incharge of the whole HL rack (and a few other game types, and is prolly reading this, hi m8 :) ) and has limited time for specific special setups for one mod or another. Once its on its back over to me for setup info- so preferably it should be an instal-and-forget type bot. In the launch we have planned soon (20 TFCs estimated, basicly taking up where Wireplay left off) Id like to include one as a bot server (variation is needed to keep the game fresh). A few questions tho. Can mapcycles(or something) be configured to have bots on some maps, and not others, or different numbers of bots on different maps? Can bots be set up so they kick in (UT style) when the player numbers drop below level X (10 plrs say). ie- if all human plyrs leave then thatll leave 10 bots on server- if theres 5 players, 5 bots would have dropped out - if theres 15 players, none will be bots. Finally, are any set up to mimic human behaviour by outputting random lines of txt as speech into global chat? I doubt it, but i can ask- if not ill email the idea to whoever you guys recommend is making the best one atm. So what would you recommend to a bot n00b? Are there any worthy of public net servers? Forget them for another 6 months perhaps? Thanks a lot guys Ad [Mad Ad]
