RE: [hlds] vac2 issue?
It appears he's banned from all servers (including yours) running VAC due to cheating violations. Deleting any old hacks won't do any good.

RE: [hlds] Can't connect to HL2 server
Looks like you're binding to an internal IP address. 192.168 is reserved privately for LAN, so you would be unable to connect to it from the Internet. If the server is on the web, just let it bind to whatever it can and then run ipconfig at command prompt. If you're trying to connect from LAN, you've got me stumped.

RE: [SPAM] [hlds] VAC2 - end of cheating?
From my experience SteamBans have been beneficial to the community. I'm living in the UK, where its been taken up quite well by the league communities here and it has had a positive effect. Essentially, getting banned on a SteamBans server pretty much knocks you out of contention for the Suicidegaming and UKCSL leagues, and an automatic ban from the enemydown ladder, leaving you with little options as far as organised competition goes (unless of course you consider yourself good enough to compete in CSGN, which has its own anti-cheat anyway). Steambans method of cheat detection is exactly the same as any league games (an unaminous decision by a board of admins). I have not heard of any use of rcon passwords, and steambans have released a server plugin which has the server query a master server on a player joining (don't know whether the source is available for that, but I imagine it is). Its all about who you trust, I suppose. Its like ebay, you go off reputation, and steambans from how I perceive it has a pretty good reputation here in the UK. Its a good free service which is optional and the way I see it it really won't do any harm. There, my alternative view on Steambans ;) What did interest me though in the article was the comment about Valve gearing more towards the new customer then the existing one. It would have been interesting to see that if valve had gone for the subscription model that was proposed during development (you pay $xx a month and you get content as it comes out) whether cheating would be as common as it is now.

RE: [hlds] Concerning Cheaters (sharing ban files)
Steambans dont distribute a list as such. You give steambans.com your rcon password and they periodically check the users on your server if they are in the global banlist then remotely ban from from the server. They have a mod too which streamlines this, as far as I know (so the server queries the masterbanlist on connect, instead of the masterbanlist periodically scanning the servers). This is my general perception of the Steambans.com process. There is a Steambans group which you can join which allows any Joe Bloggs to submit a demo (found this through the forums). I'm not sure but maybe they allow you to add a server to their listing that way also (instead of having to set up a whole new group and all that).

RE: [hlds] First CS:S Cheat released - Valve help us please.
It just takes the developer to realise that the biggest increase of quality of the game to the public is to stamp out cheats, not to implement bot support. I'm sure the quality assurance department just play in a closed environment (which of course would be cheat free) and not in the 'real world', where the cheats exist. Perhaps the only feedback Valve are getting is that of the game is fine I just need a way to play it in case I have no friends instead of The game is fine except on every server I join someone is running around 4 times as fast as I can and is shooting me through walls before I even see them. Valve are quite quiet on their anti-cheat technology, so don't expect a reply soon. I emailed 4-5 Valve employees a couple of weeks ago with a polite question regarding an update to VAC, including :- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Gabe Newell, CEO or 'top dog' [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Nick Shaffner, who has been responsible for a lot of updates to hlds list about VAC updates [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Alfred Reynolds, who is the person who usually updates the list on a hlds/srcds update. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Eric Smith, who has updated this list in the past with informaton about server updates and VAC updates. All emails proved unsuccessful and I did not receive an email from any of the above email addresses.

RE: [hlds] Help Help,
Just my understanding that an external PC would not be able to connect to the server port because no actual port is open on the router (which is the actual interface connected to the net). Unless you have the CS server setup as the DMZ host, it was my understanding that you would need to forward the ports to the server on the LAN (which I am again presuming is connecting through NAT). I'm again presuming that is a 'residential' router, so you wouldn't have to open any outgoing ports on the router because most routers which are bought for the home do not do this. I'm only familiar with NetGear however, I'm afraid. Also, make sure you have sv_region set correctly to your region, as your filters in the serverbrowser might be filtering out your server. Google for sv_region for the necessary region codes (3 is Europe).

Re: [hlds] CS:Source
I believe that the theoretical limit is 256 players, but its capped to 32 or 64 (can't remember) due to computing limitations (cpu for a server, and bandwidth for the clients). The limit can be edited in mods however, and its been stated that ideally you should decrease the packets being sent to clients if you wish to do this. I'm sure some mod company has some idea to develop some 64/128 player BF-esque mod for HL2, and I'm sure one of the first simple modifications made for multiplayer will be to increase the player cap :) (which will of course, kill whatever server its hosted on).

Re: [hlds] CS:Source
MMORPGs to my knowledge use large server farms for each 'server'. Each actual realm you play on FFXI, DAOC or SWG is actually a number of machines working together in tandem, each machine maintaining specific tasks. For example, the NPC machine used to crash on Lineage 2 when I used to play it, and you would walk around the world with no enemies, no shop keepers, just players running around. Latency isn't much of a concern in MMORPGs however, but its mission critical in FPS 'twitch' games, and CPU usage is a large deciding factor in that matter. Running a 128 server on that Athlon 1700+ and that elusive fella called 'Reg' won't be visiting your server :p I am however, like yourself, waiting for that bigass killer game 5 years down the line, playing alongside 220 other players in one huge crazy mile-big fragfest.

Re: [hlds] Request for configs/settings
Well, since you want to maximise performance and don't really care too much about how inefficient you want things to be, just perform its best (much like a fancy flashy sports car, then). sys_ticrate 1 will tell the server to run as fast as it possibly can fps-wise, from 100fps to 400-500 fps (or more). Pings would be noticably lower by about 8ms for most people and bullets will register much more. If a server is running at 100fps, there is 10ms still between each frame that gets processed, so increasing the fps decreases the time between each frame being processed. So, my recommendations :- sys_ticrate 1 // sets fps as fast as it will go sv_maxrate 25000 sv_maxupdaterate 100 sv_minrate 2500 sv_minupdaterate 20 For total optimum bullet reg, don't run any mods on it at all, but thats probably not favourable for public servers. I'd perhaps recommend AMXX over adminmod, as I believe performance-wise its much faster then adminmod (don't take that for gospel). Try and remove as much spam from the mod as possible though, on-screen text displays, vox speech (like the voice telling you the time, etc.), sounds (KILLING SPREE!) etc. all tend to lag some clients a little bit, which some people then mistake the server for being at fault. Use sv_downloadurl for all your custom stuff. This will help keep people on your server when running custom stuff, such as new maps.

Re: [hlds] VAC and offline play...
As far as I am aware, you are right on this issue. As I understand it, VAC is a mini program that is downloaded when connecting to a secure server (hence the progress bar when connecting) and is executed, which then reports back to the server/master server if need be that a cheat is being used. When you are watching a recorded demo, there is no VAC download from a server since you ain't physically connected to one. As I understand it, there isn't actually any VAC 'program' on your machine at that time, and there certainly isn't any server to report back to, obviously. Cheat detection is on a session-based process, any postponing of VAC bans after detection is still done in the session you cheated on when connected to the server, just that Valve made the decision to hold off the actual banning process for the obvious reasons. I apologise if I'm wrong in this, but I am confident in my limited knowledge on it working like this. I've never dabbled in the dark arts of wallhacks though, so my knowledge is based on purely on observation and not experience. Regards, Ryan Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] The line that i'm really questioning though is this one: You misunderstand how VAC works. If I install X-spec now then de-install it 2moro after using it only once. 6 months down the line if Valve decides to ban it i will be VAC banned because VAC records all programs run when you play with steam. Offline play is no solution, there is no gurantee the steam client wont(no or in the future) cache this information and send at a later date. Personally, i think that's complete bull. From what i understand vac only looks for cheats and programs when you're connected to a VAC-enabled server - you can do what you want when you're not and it isn't logged or cached or sent to steam in any way. Am i right in this? Or am i (like most people who don't have a clue) talking bollocks.. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] [OT] GISP's: Rental rates for HL2
HL2 originally stated there will be 3 different types of HL2 released. A normal version, which we are all used to, a Limited Edition version, probably with a steel case, some figurine, and other general fanboy goodies, and a cut-back single-player only version, which would contain no multiplayer component. By this original statement, I'm hoping that all gameplay variations are chucked in with the normal version, but I did read somewhere that CS may cost extra. I'm just hoping the bigwigs at Valve read this and say to themselves Bollocks, we did originally say that, didnt we? Damn, have to not charge for CS:S now.

Re: [hlds] OT: X-Spectate : Any thoughts?
In total agreement mate. The ability for the admin to download a screenshot would absolutely rock, and hopefully enough people would come forward to support this so that it is actually implemented. The only problem I forsee with it though is privacy concerns. Punkbuster was optional back then and is still optional now for games that use it (although its more or less mandatory, as most servers use Punkbuster anyway). Someone is bound to kick up a fuss, even though the majority couldn't care less. CSGN in the UK have quite an interesting plugin on their servers. At a convienient time during the game (freezetime for example) the server will take a screenshot on the client PC with a timestamp on it, and that screenshot then has to be uploaded to a webpage after the match. The admins then review the screenshots. If only CSGN released their plugin(s), or someone developed something along the same lines, or of course, Valve could just introduce the ability for an admin to grab a screenshot :) Regards, Ryan Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: [YG]Sharza [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 2:04 PM Subject: SV: [hlds] OT: X-Spectate : Any thoughts?

The only thing we ever needs, is an admin command implemented into the half-life engine, to grab a client screen shot, like the old in-eye style.

Re: [hlds] RE: Server FPS 64
Our server uses the Win HL ping booster, which is a metamod plugin which supposingly increases the pings on the server. It came setup like that when we got the server, and we were always happy with it so didn't really play with it or touch it. However, I had a quick look at the config here, and noticed 2 commands that I wasn't using in any of my configs :- sys_ticrate 1 host_framerate 0 So, I had a little play, disabled the ping booster and put these 2 commands in my server.cfg.

If you are really intersted in the details search the online archieves of this list for multimedia timer and I'm sure you'll get 100's of posts on the topic. http://www.gpsites.org/downloads/hldsmmtimer.zip if you want to play with a=3D n app that will manlipulate this. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds --__--__-- Message: 3 From: Kevin Ottalini [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] RE: Server FPS 64 Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 07:20:39 -0700 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think he wants his server to go to 999 not 99 but due to ACPI (and some motherboards) the max it will reach is just a little over 512. that is with sys_ticrate 1000 2ms over 1ms render time is pretty insignificant. I suppose he can try and disable ACPI in BIOS but the gotcha is interrupt sharing is managed through that interface and it can cause problems if he has shared interrupts right now with ACPI on. qUiCkSiLvEr - Original Message - From: Napier, Kevin To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 6:52 AM Subject: RE: [hlds] RE: Server FPS 64 I belive
Re: [hlds] Newbie Question - time between maps?
Just a quick note on this :- I think an AMX default plugin makes the map change right after a map has finished, effectively having no map chat time. Disabling all the map-related plugins in AMX mod will let you set this properly. I htink its to do with one of the map plugins detecting the round is over and doing a changelevel command. You could edit and recompile the script and put a sleep command in it.

Sorry I can't remember, what's the CVAR that sets the time after map is complete before the mapchange occurs? In other words, if I'd want people to be able to chat after a map is over for like 20 seconds, before the map changes, what's the CVAR? I think I remember there was one, but I can't remember what it is..
