[hlds] Feature request
Hi, Just a feature request. No doubt this has been asked for before, but I am asking anyway. Could the mp_autoteambalance be extended upon to provide teamswapping based on kills per death? In my opinion this would be a very nice feature.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch
Sorry if this reply is a bit too late, but you could try playing around with this cvar: "mp_limitteams" = "4" ( def. "2" ) min. 0.00 max. 30.00 game notify replicated - Max # of players 1 team can have over another (0 disables check) That is taken from a CS:S server and I'm not sure if it also exists in hl2mp. Don't have much experience with hl2mp, so don't be surprised if it isn't. . In CS:S this controls how many players one team can have more then the other team, so if you have this set to 4 and you have 8 T and 4 CT, then it should only allow you to join CT. Probably you will have to enforce this after you have set your bot_quota's, else it might not let you add 8 CT bots in one go, without adding some T bots as well. Hope this helps, --- Regime Ryan Veltidi wrote: That could be done with eventscripts probably, but not just using game settings I believe. Bes you can do is force all of them to go CT or T.

I noticed 16 bots with one human at bot_quota 16 and 4 bots with one human at bot_quota 4. I mistakenly expected the ratio to always be 1 human to 1 bot. I like the variability better. Is there a way to predetermine the number of bots that join terrorists or counter terrorists? I know you can add one at a time in the server console with bot_add_t or bot_add_ct, but can you just have a server start with say 8 terrorists and 4 counter terrorists. And then maybe just have humans join the counter terrorists? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: Request for list moderation - Was: [hlds] REMOVE ME
Some people just want other people to stop writing things like "Damnit...I got owned trying to pwndizzle someone...lmao." to technical mailing lists. Maybe what needs to be done instead is that people think about what they write to a mailing list that probably reaches several hundred people. I don't see why I should press the delete button to make up for other people's stupidity. Anyway.. This was just meant as a request. You can either agree or disagree, but let's not turn this into an endless off topic discussion once again.

Request for list moderation - Was: [hlds] REMOVE ME
He signed up voluntarily for a list about hlds, not for getting his mailbox filled with comments from those who can not control themselves from replying to every idiotic thing they see. (30 replies to a thread that should have not even gotten a single one) This list is for discussing hlds server related issues, not for having a laugh. If you need a laugh, leave this mailing list and join the circus. Anyway.. I might as well have gone for it and told this to my cat instead, cause the only result it will have is more useless posts, so to get to the point; Can we _please_ get some (Valve) moderating on the hlds mailing lists? No need for heavy filtering. Just weed out the complete nonsense threads like this one and end threads that go into off-topic or flaming mode.

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch
You probably have source TV on. The source TV is also counted as one "slot". That would leave you 15 slots and the numbers would always have to be uneven. As it's HL2MP I don't think you can raise the slots to 17 as the max is 16 (correct me if I'm wrong), so your options are to either lower it to 15 slots and play 7 Vs 7 + 1 source TV bot, or turn source TV off and play 8 Vs 8.. --- Regime http://www.livebythegun.com/ Michael R.

Re: [Bulk] RE: [hlds] unwanted rcon from unknown
Two XSS vulnerabilities were disclosed for hlstats v1.35 on 19/5/2007 which are also functional for hlstatsx V1.01. So far there has not been any info on a patch/fix for this on their site. I'm sure this vulnerability you are mentioning was patched, but these two new ones aren't. I have personally verified their existence in the latest hlstatsx version.

Then I remembered that hlstats-db also contains rcon passwords. btw, is there some kind of security issue with HLstats 1.32 ? I already changed pw, copied the data from some hours before and changed mysql rights for the hlstats-user to read-only, but I would like to be sure that there is no SQL-insertion leak or something else.

Re: [hlds] Blocking Client Commands
If you are going to speak for 'us server admins' and such I think it would be a good idea to provide some sources upon which you base your statements. If you can not, I suggest you speak for yourself, or not at all. --- Regime http://www.livebythegun.com/ Chris Barnett wrote: They was going to. The wiki pages for it still exist, but it looks like the project was abandoned. Besides, no one really wants Valve to get involved in a server admin tool because 3rd party developers are doing a real good job with them. What a lot of server operators want, is a proper beta program where all new updates from Valve are run for a set system so everyone, including the plugin developers can see exactly is what on the horizon. Leave Valve to update the actual game functionality, because us server admins are tired of trying to get ourselves heard over the server-hopping 13 year olds, who think server admins are worse that the police or traffic wardens.that's not Valves fault - that's the way it is. That's the way the cookie crumbles, that's the way the chips have landed yada yada yada. Server admins are best off served by the 3rd party plugin developer community, if only Valve would concede that, the whole thing would work, if they bothered to implement a proper beta system where all new updates are pre-published so that the plugin community can patch their plugins against what Valve is releasing. If Valve launched an official admin tool. We would be forever sitting here begging them for this that and the other and we would be bitching with the normal gaming punters for airtime, trying to convince Valve that certain server features are more important than a HDR release of a certain map. No thanks. An official beta program is a server admins wet dream come true. Does Valve still think it's not practical? My C.V is in the post. Cheers.
