Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
I think I might be having issues when connected to a server. When I do connect to a server, I "reconnect" to the server 15 seconds later, I find this a problem with people with me who are playing Ghost Town with me.

Re: [hlds] PSA: Severe Source SDK 2013 Multiplayer exploit found, can be used to hijack steam accounts.
IMO Valve sucks - hence my lack of involvement -Original Message- From: Kyle Sanderson Sent: Friday, September 04, 2015 7:43 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Cc: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] PSA: Severe Source SDK 2013 Multiplayer exploit found, can be used to hijack steam accounts. Which games still have this exploit? All of them, including Team Fortress. The emphasis from Valve being to try to fix TF first and leave the others playing catch-up. This is why in the past I was very adamant about getting at-least the OrangeBox games (240 especially) sync'd, if not for the crash fixes (which can be exploited themselves) but for the RCE footprint. For instance, when CS:GO shipped, a bunch of previous OrangeBox exploits worked out of the box. This is the code that's given to a licensee, code that's used internally. If the Portal 2 Cabal at Valve can't figure it out, a game such as Titan Fall wouldn't stand a chance. Left 4 Dead (2) still to this day has almost every single exploit from TF in it. Source is a collection of templates, it's not an engine. While no one has done it yet, the Garrysmod worm that made players cough can easily apply here. This specific issue related to using the Netchannel to move files to clients impacts not only Team Fortress, but Dota 2 (I believe they pulled the function about a year ago?) and other games where Valve has MM. I've given up security in this regard, but leaving it completely open is not wise. Well you don't have to run valves code. http://www.valvesoftware.com/SOURCE_InfoSheet.pdf You do realize this is actually sold as a product, right? For a time when you became a partner you were given access to mainline TF; obviously this is no longer a thing. Kyle. On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 7:54 PM, Weasels Lair wrote: So, ok wait.

Re: [hlds] Advertise a server using account ID
Maybe using domain names is a great solution for you but it is hardly a perfect solution. If it is possible to have a cleaner solution, why not push for that? What if the port changes?

Should come in handy. In response to the circlejerk happening over there, it's all good and well for server owners to put in ads, but in the end a server operator is just that -- a server operator. The client is still in control of the client, and I'll be damned if I'll let you choose what I get to see on my game screen, enough that I don't even want a bypass config or a plugin, I'll just not visit your server. It would probably be a wise idea to invest your time and energy into less-annoying and obtrusive advertising methods, as I know I am far from the only one with these opinions. The Pinion may be giving you money right now, but in the end you will be in the red as more and more users get sick of it. Strive to treat your server users like server users, not sacks of money.

[hlds] Source Dedicated Server Beta Update
This is why I think one of the sv_pure modes work the way I originally asked. No manipulation by lists plugin or admin, there would be no questioning as the content would have to be from steam if default and allow from disk with CRC if from a custom map. This would not only benefits the competitive community but servers with communities as well, neither the competitive or the rest of us can benefit from a var that locks out custom maps. And how would this work out? sv_pure 1 Team A joins Team B's server for a match to play say de_season or de_russka, Team B has set up the white list to allow a custom and Team B is using custom textures that give them an advantage, Team A has no idea because it's sv_pure 1 and admins can manipulate the lists. sv_pure 2 Locks out all custom map content and that's does not work out for anyone that I can see. Alfred please consider a sv_pure mode that will give us a true server player content match regardless if it's a steam delivered map or a custom map. I would wager many competitive, community and clan servers would use such a setting and I can also see how it would be a benefit to all source games and help bring over more players to source. Thank you -Will sv_pure 2 is the quick fix, but at this stage I have not been made aware of the implications of sv_pure 2 + custom maps, i.e. de_season which is a very popular league/ladder map now as well as a few others. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
[hlds] Source Dedicated Server Beta Update
This is exactly why I asked that sv_pure 2 work as if is default steam content use steam if not in steam allow from disk and do CRC That gives the players the knowledge of knowing the server is 1, using only steam for all default content and 2, doing CRCs on any custom map content. I feel the var is very important, but many of us run custom maps, this is all a great move by Valve for the betterment of the game play but it would be a shame if custom maps end up taking a hit on this. Or worse that nobody be able to use a var you worked so hard adding just because it auto excludes custom maps. -Will --- Problem is alfred that a lot of leagues use custom maps. Michael Jones-Evans "sv_pure 2" is mean for league play inparticular, so you can make sure that the server is running in a trusted mode for the away team. It only allows Steam content, no content from disk (i.e custom maps, etc) can be used in this mode. It should only be used for league play, normal internet servers should use "sv_pure 1". - Alfred ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

I would think many league and community type servers would want to run in such a mode, with a viewable var so it can be checked by players in game or hlsw. I think the viewable vars is important to remove suspicion. sv_pure 0/1/2 say 2 for default = use whitelist say 1 From Steam only for all default files and allow_from_disk+check_crc for any non steam content 0 off I recall awhile back you saying you were going to look into removing some unneeded vars from the server query, can you please make room in the server query for vars from plugins by removing some like: r_VehicleViewDampen r_JeepViewDampenFreq r_JeepViewDampenDamp r_JeepViewZHeight r_AirboatViewDampenFreq r_AirboatViewDampenDamp r_AirboatViewZHeight Thank you ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- ___ Wim 'TheUnknownFactor' Barelds [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --__--__-- ___ To unsubscribe, edit you
[hlds] Pure Server Mode Question / Request
We want to lock all default game content to use only steam files, everything no "replacement" allowed at all for default game content. We run servers that plays many default maps but also many custom maps, we want to allow files from disk only for custom maps with the crc checks as there will be no steam files for these. Will this be possible or are we left out of all this by running custom maps? Can there be a var for all default content from Steam but allow files from disk with crc for content that was not delivered from Steam? if in steam use steam if not use from disk and crc Looking at the whitelist I don't see a way to do this without adding all the files for 150 custom maps file by file to the whitelist, many custom map files do not path to /custommapname/ Also a viewable var for this"?

Re: [hlds] Ded. box
Will keep an eye on other resources, no web addons, thought about it, but won't now. Servers run fairly smooth, we get alot of choke client side with cpu spikes, trying to figure out a way to eliminate that.

Re: [hlds] Ded. box
Quote: (100% Cisco Network with full 1000 Mb (Gigabit) fiber going to & from each & everyone of our switches.) Good connection. Added rates from cal.cfg on boosted servers to try and smooth them out, it helped a little bit.

[hlds] Players/rules packets for Src. DS
Right I had a look at the packets the actual DS sent about. After figuring the T part out for myself I sent U (players) and V (rules) to test. The responses returned from what was shown both match that of the old player/rule packets from HL1 - in fact my variable parsing code worked straight off. That is, E/D followed by an item count byte and then subsequently item data. I cannot at present say if multiple packets still arise or if any extra player data is added (somoene at a LAN cafe reading this would you be willing to run a test application when people are playing so we can write lovely query programs for you ?). Hope this helps someone. Will PS If you do manage a LAN with CS:S please contact me so I can negotiate obtaining the rest of the data. It would be very useful! ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
