[hlds] Re: Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
Having an issue where my server updated or so it seems, but is still reporting that it needs the latest update. When I run it a second (and third and forth) time(s) all it does is verify. Checked it by trying to connect and the client reports that it is an older version. Anyone know how to fix it?

They've had the least time to cook, and bugs are still being uncovered. I'm pretty worried about the 16th, as that's the first major game with downloadable content (I'm biased, but numbers don't lie) to be moved. HL2:DM seems to see a fair amount of traffic, so the real testing may actually start tomorrow. I'd still rather see TF2 go first, so all of the bugs get ironed out before they're introduced into more products silently, then uncovered on the 23rd when TF2 ships (or even worse, on the 16th then TF2 gets delayed). TF2 has had the longest running beta for this, so I'm pretty confused by the proposed order; hats. It definitely seemed right for the day (the 1st of April, that is)... Kyle.

The “beta” dedicated server (The SteamPipe version of the dedicated server) is actually the exact same server installation that will host the clients after the switchover. We will try to avoid releasing a dedicated server update near the time of the client switchover, so that SteamPipe dedicated servers can be up and ready, and as clients switchover to SteamPipe, those dedicated servers will be ready to host them. One note concerning the TF2 beta. As you probably know, it’s currently a separate app. (The TF2 beta client is App ID 520 and the TF2 beta dedicated server is AppID 229830.) About a week before the TF2 switchover, we’ll initiate a beta process identical to the one used for the other games. We’ll release the Steampipe version of the official dedicated server (App ID 232250) and an opt-in client beta available from the “betas” tab for the regular “Team Fortress 2” application (App ID 440). This beta client will have all the same content as the regular game, will talk to the same item server as the regular client, and will have all the same items in your backpack. It will be running App ID 440, not 520. The only difference is that it will be using the new file system with VPK files, it will have a different PatchVersion in the steam.inf file, and will only be able to connect to SteamPipe servers. To avoid confusion between the two different types of TF2 betas, at that time we will deactivate the beta client app 520 and dedicated server app 229830. We’ll have further details on this process when we release the official dedicated server. If you have questions that are not answered

Of course you will see a performance hit with more players, however it will be hardware and network resource dependent as to whether it is noticeable to you and your players. There are many other factors as well, such as the video and network hardware of your clients. I think you will find that it will be impossible to keep everybody happy all of the time. Furthermore running an administration add-on such as SourceMod (especially this one due to pore/no coding standards) on your server will degrade your users experience even further. All that being said you should use trial and error to determine what

Re: [hlds] 32 Slot Server
from what I have gleaned from the message thread in the archive mr.wardon offered a good way to block pinion adds for clients and servers alike. it then appears that several deviants attacked him with off topic non sense, you included. from the type of provocative replys you have given me so far and the personal attacks he has been defending against I think its safe to assume that what he has been saying and his list of abusers is where the truth is. I also see others in the thread that agree with mr.wardon which the members of that list also attempt to put down. to what end these individuals have I can only guess and I doubt there is any real or truthful logic being applied to their negative comments. I would recommend something like if you don't like the message don't reply but apparently someone allows this sort of garbage to continue and as in everything a small group ruins things for the rest of us that play by the rules.

[hlds] strange CS:GO sv_password behavior
Hey guys, It seems that sv_password is removed after 1 person joins a server allowing any tom, dick or harry to join. Now don't get me wrong I don't have anything against tom, dick or harry it's just i'd like them not to be able to join the server if it's (or at least should be) password protected :) We have stuck it in server.cfg which applies the password but then is removed when someone joins and we have also tried setting it via HLSW and then joining and the same thing happens. Alsoit seems you can't set sv_password while someone is in the server. In desperation we tried setting sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 so that we didnt get lobby traffic and in the hope that it would respect the sv_password but to no avail. I know of another person with this exact same issue after chatting in IRC so thought i'd throw it our there to you guys. To clarify... it's a vanilla server, no map change occurs no cfg's have sv_password (that i can see but being as there isnt a map change...) Any help would be awesome Steve ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Hope this helps From: teamb...@comcast.net To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 09:03:31 -0700 Subject: [hlds] Halloween Update Question Does anyone have a web link that explains the details of the 2011 Halloween update other than Valve’s generic advertising pages? Valve did not do a good job detailing this update for server operators or users, and people are confused on how the update actually works. One of the main questions I have is how many people must to be in a server before drops work. I can’t find anything online from Valve that clarifies this and I have a community of people looking for the answer. I’ve heard rumors it’s 10, but I’d love to know this for sure because drops are no longer since the player count fell after Halloween. I just want to make sure something else isn’t broken with the server because people are no longer joining it since the drops no longer seem to be working. And yes, I already restarted the server several times and it always worked fine before Halloween. After Halloween, no more drops and almost no one is connecting. Maybe people are just done playing now that Halloween is over? Thanks in advance - Mike From: Team BOOM!

Where do you start SourceTV and Replay? Starting them from autoexec.cfg or through the commandline with -replay replay.cfg +tv_enable 1 appended to the end both works. The only problem I had was that running both would only lead to 23 open slots (easily fixed by setting sv_maxplayers to 25 and force the server to only show max 24 slots), and that turning off either STV or Replay crashes the whole thing (I think this still happens).

[hlds] Improved engine handling of server queries ?
Since valve tried to do this we're still having issues if we do not hide the servers. Where as before the server was under attack it used to timeout for everyone it now, so it seems, just stops responding the the ping (still can be queried using status). That's great in that is doesn't kill a game however one side effect is that, when the server goes into this 'mode', if someone should have a network problem and disconnect for any reason, they cannot rejoin the server, in fact no one can join the server until it's been restarted. This happens on both our windows and linux servers.

Re: [hlds] Improved engine handling of server queries ?
yeah i see your point but it's not some players that have the problem when the server goes into this mode it's every player until the server instance has been restarted so in short they still succeed in disrupting the server as no one can join it. This only happens to our match servers as well so i can on speculate that if the same is true for all servers they would also still be successful in emptying a server due to new people not being able to join. most annoying in matches having to swap servers all the time! Well not all the time now as the match servers have been hidden again. On 31/01/2011 13:37, Saul Rennison wrote: You can't help it.

[hlds] SRCDS running as a service - How to get console output
Do any of you run as a service? I have mine configured with srvstart.exe which works great. However, since it is running as a service and under the system account, I have no console window. How can I get that window to appear or it's specific output to log to a file somewhere? The problem I have sometimes is with L4D2 and now tonight after the windows fix for TF2, sometimes the games just stop responding. The server no longer pings and is offline, but the srcds.exe process is still running in memory and I have no idea why or what it is doing.

Re: [hlds] Improving the update procedure
You guys are pissing in the wind. Been asking for a better update procedure for years and it ain't happened.

More and more regular and more often than not they break things :( We all appreciate the work being done, don't think for a minute we don't, but I do think that there could be some definite improvements to how things are done atm. First off don't release updates a absolute PEAK gaming time for the week. Week after week we get updates released at 10pm on a Friday during peak gaming hours, by all means prepare a weekly update and release it but pick a sensible day / time. Tuesday / Wednesday would be much better, it means people are more likely to be about and if there are any issues they can be fixed in time for the weekend sessions. Please please let us know in advance! Is there any harm in getting an update ready then delaying its release for 24 hours or so during which time admins can download the updates to prepare for the release. Then at a pre-published time the client releases, server admins flick the switch their end and everyone's happy. The benefits of this:- 1. Admins can prepare 2. Lower load on the Content Servers as admins aren't downloading at the same time as the Clients 3. Clients are happier as their servers are updated quickly instead of having to wait while admins struggle to get the servers update. 4. Admins can pre test with their server up and raise issues before all hell breaks loose. All in all everyone wins.

Valve isn't delisting your server because you have fake clients, they're delisting it because people don't like your server (probably because you have fake clients!!).

Re: [hlds] Valve doesn't delist servers according to support...
It really depends what you deem fair. It was explained in the blog post that the only servers getting delisted are those at the extreme bottom end of the scale. The system was developed to catch people who were poorly advertising their servers, and in particular, running fake clients. Given that, your objection to being delisted seems to have little weight, having said that you have fake clients running on your server. shorec...@comcast.net wrote: So a new server that has people join, then decide they don't like the configuration can unfairly get delisted... oops.. forgot, Valve doesn't delist. - Original Message - From: Donnie Newlove donnie.newl...@gmail.com To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Saturday, May 30, 2009 6:45:29 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve doesn't delist servers according to support...

[hlds] Help - TF2 Server showing red Connection lost error randomly and disconnects everyone
I am starting to go crazy. I've looked at all possibilities and now looking for some guidance/ideas on what to try next. After playing a few minutes, all the players in the server get a red WARNING: Connection problem Auto-disconnect in 30 seconds in the top right corner. During the first few seconds, if you try a retry in console it won't connect, but eventually it goes through before the 30 seconds. If you don't retry and just wait, you time out. So it's possible to reconnect before the 30 seconds is over.. but it won't reconnect on its own. While this happens, I can still ping the server from a command line, but the game server itself is not responding. I've done a fresh new srcds install. There are no plugins. I've tried with no config (!) and with a league config to be safe on the values.. Computer: OS: Windows 2003 Web Ed Ram : 2 GB - 1GB free CPU: Intel Dual Core 2.8 GHZ I then installed the server on a seperate machine with identical specs, and I am getting the same issue. Both were fresh downloads off hldsupdatetool. I didn't copy any files over. What haven't I ruled out? Now if I can add, I am running some ventrilo servers on the same machines, and none of them show any form of lag or disconnection at any point. The connection error message is random, it can be while multiple users are in the server, or a single user. It will also happen even if I'm just sitting in the server, specating before picking a team...! In the client console, it shows only this: Server connection timed out. The server log is empty. It creates a new log at the time of crash with this: L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: Log file started (file logs\L0527028.log) (game C:\somefolder\orangebox\tf) (version 3847) L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: mp_maxrounds 2 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: mp_tournament 1 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: tv_enable 1 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: tf_damage_disablespread 1 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: tf_weapon_criticals 0 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: mp_autoteambalance 0 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: mp_respawnwavetime 10 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: server_cvar: mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0 L 05/27/2009 - 11:35:04: Log file closed looks like it only restarts the map?

Re: [hlds] Help - TF2 Server showing red Connection lost error randomly and disconnects everyone
There are no plugins installed, which puzzles me even more. Now I did a few more tests later, and I don't get this problem when running the server directly instead of running it as a service, or at least it didn't crash in 40 minutes while when running as a service it crashes constantly every few minutes. I just can't pinpoint the problem.. =( My servers are ran from TCAdmin.

That is the only game server running on the box for me, so this doesn't apply. I've tried to run the service as normal, abovenormal and high, and all 3 will show this random 'disconnect' issue when running as a service. Again, when i start the game server normally from the console, it won't show this behavior..

Re: [hlds] Server crashing after update (Beetle's MOD???)
Well we worked with Beetlefart on the Windowz version and since applying .89 we've had no crashes or other weird behavior on our live game server. I have also put it on my vanilla test server without any changes and it's been running since applied. I looked at those threads in the BM forums and to me it looked like there may be some config changes needed, (bm_UseForcedRespawnforFastRespawn 0 in the default.cfg was one), but then all is good. We haven't really tested out all functions yet (will be done as we use it). Of course your milage may vary, hehe.

There's no steam ticket problems which usually otherwise happens when the servers are unable to talk with Steam. Restarting fixes the problem temporarily, but it crops up 12-24 hours later again.

Gimme a break... We've been asking for beta testing forever and sending out updates that break things on a Friday is just plain idiotic.
