Please run hldsupdatetool to receive this update. The specific changes include: Pure Servers: Servers can now force the client to match the server's files, by becoming a pure server. When a server enables sv_pure, clients who connect and play on the server cannot gain an advantage by modifying the game content. For more information about Pure Servers, click here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Pure_Servers. Source Engine: - In-game server browser only shows human players in the player counts column. Bots column now shows number of bots instead of a some bots or no bots icon - Fixed servers with bots reporting incorrect number of bots when sv_master_legacy_mode is set to 0 - Fixed a server performance problem with queued packets - Increased the maximum rate to 1 megabyte - Added a findflags console command, which can list all cvars with a specified flag. For example: 'findflags server_can_execute' will find all console variables and commands marked with FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE - Cheat protected many cvars and commands - Removed cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent clients from being redirected - Fixed user names reported as unconnected when greater than 32k players had connected to the server - Fixed a client crash during authentication - Fixed a crash when mashing the ~ key on disconnect - Fixed a bug with sv_minrate and sv_maxrate not applying properly on the client - Fixed the free roaming camera in SourceTV demos - Fixed cl_language archiving itself and not updating correctly when the language changed - Fixed a voice recording bug that could cause voice dropouts - Fixed a rare crash when spectating in Counter-Strike: Source We'd also ask that everyone please set sv_master_legacy_mode 0 again and report any problems.

[hlds] Pings
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Can someone clear up a ping mystery for me. We have noticed that players are coming in more and more with super low pings of between 1 and 10. Which is fine, but we have also noticed a ping difference.

Re: [hlds] Pings
Very interesting info Kevin, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it in detail. I am making the changes now! - Original Message - From: Kevin Ottalini [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 8:44 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Pings The 87/server or 94/hlsw are basically the same and the correct ping. The in-game ping of 2 or 3 is because the player is using a really low cl_cmdrate and it messes things up. Setting sv_mincmdrate to 30 or 40 on the server should fix this but clients don't understand this for some reason. In the client console, if they type cl_cmdrate return they might get a message like this: ] cl_cmdrate 10 ] cl_cmdrate cl_cmdrate = 40 ( def. 30 ) min. 10.00 max. 100.00 ** NOTE: The real value is 10.000 but the server has temporarily restricted it to 40.000 ** archive - Max number of command packets sent to server per second If the client doing this enables net_graph 3, he will see that he is actually getting 40 updates/s even though he has 10 set, so that part of the server control CVAR is working, however all the other clients on the server are not showing/calculating the ping properly for that user. Setting the cl_cmdrate low like that (without the server CVAR set) is considered abusive since it only updates the server with the clients position/actions every 100ms. As it is, this appears to be a client reporting/display bug only at the moment. - Original Message - From: Scumbucket To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 8:18 PM Subject: [hlds] Pings Can someone clear up a ping mystery for me.

Re: [hlds] Blocking Client Commands
Well I say if Valve wants to make a server admin tool and other plugins so we can admin our servers while at the same collect all the important data like hits to the various parts of the body, then I am all for it. But they don't so we have to use these 3rd party plugins in order to please the players. The players want all the bells and whistles that just do not come with a stock DODS Server. It would make my job easier if I did not have to add so many plugins. Just my two cents worth! - Original Message - From: Chris Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2007 11:41 AM Subject: RE: [hlds] Blocking Client Commands You can make all the suggestions you want. It's my opinion that most server admins want to keep their third party plugins working, rather than Valve push out updates overnight that break them. There is no official links I would ever be able to muster up, that proves what features want most. But hey, it's a good job it's just a Valve mailing list and not the UN security council. What do you want me to prove next? That server admins want to keep their servers up and running? Any server admin that doesn't want a beat program, quite simply doesn't know he wants it yet. Hang around for another few years of broken plugins and servers overnight and believe me, all you want is a freakin beta program. If by that stage you happen to be in that small percentage that don't, it's only because you run little or no plugins, which ain't exactly the norm for a server operator.

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.
