RE: [hlds] ServerList Destroyed
Deadman Standing wrote: I am now confused. I look at status at www.steampowered.com and is says there are 39,335 Counter-Strike servers at 22:52 GMT. In the game I query all the regions and get the following info: snip Region: US-West Servers: 496 Region: US-East Servers: 503 - Total Servers: 7879 Where are the other 31,456 servers? You guys that are reporting so few servers--do you Refresh All only once, or do you do it a few times? I've found that each Refresh All will produce a number more servers. -- Tim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] Where has all the traffic gone?

This is what worked for me: setmaster add hlmaster.jolt.co.uk setmaster add hlmaster.gamesinferno.com 27010 setmaster add master0.gamespy.com 28900 The colon was what was causing it to throw the error, even though that's the syntax it seems to want. Added 'em, we'll see what comes of it.

RE: [hlds] CSS Server Status

There are a few floating around, but I found this one to be quite easy to setup: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1815.html.

Do you buy directly from them or through a reseller? If through a reseller of them, which one?

RE: [hlds] HLDS Master .res file
Lackatee Mattergy wrote: Is there even a primary/master .res file? Or am i gonna have to stick to what I'm doing already? There is no built-in method of doing this. If you're using plugins though, there are some sound download managers available for AM/AMX, and I would assume AMXX as well (though I haven't checked that). Additionally, you can use ResGen from United Admins to not only make your .res files, but you can also define a file that you want appended to each .res file it creates. That file that's appended can include all your customs. I've had some trouble with ResGen's output not being entirely accurate, so you need to double check stuff. The easiest is probably to use a plugin for your flavor of admin mod. -- Tim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] server ip's ending in x.x.x.100 or greater not showing up in the MSL
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Saw this thread on the steampowered.com forums - http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=983762 Figured it'd be worth looking into and to see if anybody else is experiencing the same problem. Apparently any server that has an IP address with the last octet ending with 100 or greater, will not show up on the master server list. Dunno if Valve is aware of this or can verify it or not. So here's the post. Hope to get some feedback on this from the powers that be soon, since this seems to be affecting a lot of people, myself included ;) It may not get servers with a higher last octet in the first refresh, but if you refresh more than once it will come up. When I do a refresh all for any of the mods, it'll grab a few hundred servers and stop, subsequent refreshes will continue to grab more servers, eventually getting to our servers, with their high (.210+) final octet. Not that this is an acceptable way of refreshing servers, mind you, just letting you know that it *is* in the server list--somewhere--and that many of us are feeling that pain. -- Tim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

The numbers are growing because of all the cheaters. Hey Mike, you want to start, I don't know, bringing some data with ya when you make these ridiculous claims? If one admin out two respond after this saying that like me, they don't cheat, will you be quiet then? And while you're at it... You may or may not have noticed this, but this isn't a forum, it's a listsrv, and adding a one line response on top of about 22K of misquoted and mangled crap is about the most useless thing a learned admin could do. There are people who get the digest of the list and when you make posts like you did it completely destroys any sense of continuity and needlessly bloats the digests. Not to mention there are people on the list who have metered usage, so downloading all these over-quoted responses does them no favors either. You're using Outlook, so take a look at the great program Outlook Quotefix at http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/. It'll automatically do things like strip out signatures and listsrv footers (assuming they're properly delineated by --), put a sensible quote header in, word wrap stuff, and move your cursor beneath quoted material automatically. All you need to do is pick out the stuff you don't want quoted and delete it, a task that takes about 5 seconds. -- Tim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] 1.6 Lan proble
Allan McMillan wrote: Has anyone ever had any problems administrating a lan event before? We are in the process of testing our server for our organised event but keep getting an Invalid session ticket error when we try to connect. Can anyone shed any light on this? Most places will have at least an analog phone line coming into the room. It's a safe bet that somebody will either Exit and Logout before your event, or an auth error will crop up despite your best efforts. That analog line can be a big saver though. All you need is for the afflicted person to connect for a minute and get his valid ticket, then logoff and he'll be ready to go. At our recent event, we had two clients that had some trouble with this. We setup Internet Connection Sharing on one laptop with a phone cable that went about 100ft into a nearby hotel room. That solved all our problems. -- Tim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

If any brave souls want to give it a try, you must first download Cold Ice, which can be found here: http://www.emberts.com/~coldice/coldicesetup.exe It's a 17MB download. Run it, point to \Your Steam Directory\SteamApps\user name\Half-Life\ directory. Then try my server at OoksServer.no-ip.info:27013. You can: Ooks, I just got off (ironchef and two others) after an hour or so of playing. That's a great old mod. Shame there's no voice support in it though! The keyboard binding setup doesn't seem to work properly. I had to reinstall the mod and manually edit my config.cfg, but then it worked ok.

I know the other guys said The Planet, but this company is part of 'em, and their dedicated server deals are definitely worth checking out. http://www.servermatrix.com/servers.html We went with one of these rather than colo. The hardware was comparable, but we ended up with more bandwidth than the colo plans offered, and at a cheaper price. Service and support have been awesome in the few months we've been with 'em. There was a weird temporary outage today though. Both Server Matrix and The Planet fell off the face of the earth for a few minutes, then everything came back.
