Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source Update Released
Hello. Apparently this is still disabled in CS:S (for good reason). The ConVar (sv_noroundstats) was removed from CS:GO, and we're seeing the same problem there as well. Can we please have the ConVar (sv_noroundstats) added back to the CS:GO CCSGameStats::UploadRoundStats function? Here's the same hack for CS:GO (Thanks to Drifter): https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1796226 Thanks, Kyle.

Thank you for releasing a bug fix update on the weekend. It is much appreciated. Furthermore thank you for making it required as most servers would not bother otherwise.

Just about anything besides recording stats, kicking, or banning someone requires more than the provided plugin interface.

Artie, The short term easy solution would be for VALVe to simply run a pre-release beta. That way for the plugin developers, it's business as usual, except that the plugin developers will be able to patch their plugins for the next version of CS:S and we'll be able to patch our servers and the downtime will be minutes rather than hours or days.

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source Update Released
This is all just yet another reason why VALVe should run a non-interactive pre-release beta for CS:S Plugin developers never have and never will stick to the API. Equally, blaming VALVe doesn't get us anywhere. It is no realistic to say "Blame the plugin developers and deal with it" - We won't deal with it, because we shouldn't have to deal with it. There is a simple solution to all of this. Valve just runs a pre-release beta and that way the plugin developers and server operators would have ample time to patch their software against any VALVe update.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source Update Released
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I would be very careful using statements like "hence why Mani Matti and general purpose plugins all have no problem using the provided API" as this is absolutely incorrect... As stated thousands of times by plugin creators, the problem is that you can not accomplish lost of "general" tasks without "hacking" into the game.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source Update Released
It breaks Source Metamod, at least on 2 of our servers that were running it, one of which was a Gungame server so that's hosed. Valve would you PLEASE make that god forsaken POS API in Source and make it something usefull so that people will actually use it. It's getting old having to troubleshoot and fix servers everytime there's an update. Broken servers for what?? Broken so that 3 pistols can be stronger and the leaf quality in Militia can be improved!! What a sad joke, and we're the punchline. How I long for the old days when updates came once every 6 months. Here's an idea.How about not messing with the leafs in Militia, cause noone gives a shit what they look likeand instead make the API usefull. Yeah yeah I know, I'm askin for way too much here.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
Just in case if anyone is interested in something else apart from taunting Valve, here is small tip about mp_dynamicpricing. Seems like this cvar is checked when server loads map. Its default value is 1 so when server loads first map dynamic prices are still there even if you've got mp_dynamicpricing 0 in your server.cfg. Dynamic prices will disappear only after next mapchange. Not a big deal actually but should you want to fix that - just add +mp_dynamicpricing 0 to a command line starting your server and that's it!

shame the "optional" features aren't that optional. as far as my supportt team can tell the mp_dynamicpricing switch does not disable the new weapon pricing stuff. We've tried it on fresh installs 6 times and it doesn't do anything. oh yeah and it seems to have broken mani but i have a feeling a quick edit of the gamestypes file will fix that.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
But I can't turn it off. I play on pubs mostly, and now they are all going to have it because its default and the admins probably won't care enough to turn it off. Did it at least account for different servers playing different maps each of which have different values for each weapon? Matt Albiniak wrote: With all due respect, "get over it."

With all due respect, "get over it." You can turn it off, so turn it off (if you want).

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] SourceMM is NOT the cause of any problems with plugins. SourceMM is mod independant and is rarely affected by updates. The problem occurs for plugins that use the server binaries directly instead of going through either the Valve Server Plugin interface or the SourceMM plugin interface. You might say, "then don't use the binaries directly" like that. Here's why plugins do that: Let's take "slap" for example. It does three things: 1) remove health 2) knock the player around, and 3) play a "grunt" sound. 1 and 2 are NOT possible using the provided server interface. If you want a slap function in your admin plugin, you must use a plugin that directly links to the binaries. Basically, if you use a plugin that does anything besides recording stats, running server console commands, and using ESC menus that players don't see, you'll be using a plugin that does not conform to the server plugin interface.

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
ROFL... not complaining, we're just brainstorming in an open forum, discussing a known problem in the hope of finding a solution. BTW, I don't run any plug-ins and very often updates break my server anyway. Maybe mine is the only server effected this way, but I tend to doubt that. I'm certain Valve tests their updates before they are force-feed to the community, but perhaps a little more testing would be of some value. Only Valve knows for sure and this is how we get to ask them. So we asked them... and Alfred placed the blame with the third party vendors. If you accept that answer... fine. Does anybody remember the Windows 98 shut-down problem a few years ago? Microsoft claimed the problem was caused by third party vendors improperly using Microsoft dll's. The vendors shot back that they were using them the same way for years and that Microsoft had made a change. Microsoft shot back that the dll was designed a certain way and they (Microsoft) only changed it to make it work the way they had intended it to work. In the meantime, thousands of Windows 98 machines would hang on shit-down and would need to be unplugged to power off. I'm fairly certain that both parties were correct in their defense of the problem, but the customer is the one who suffered. The one who had the real power to fix the problem was Microsoft and finally, after their customers suffered long enough, Microsoft came out with an update that fixed the shut-down problem. Sound similar? Who has the power to resolve the issue? Perception trumps reality every time. -Original Message- From: Chris McCoy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 1:55 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released You know what?

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
You know what? Developers of plug-ins know that they can make a simple admin mod (kick, ban, tk) without any of the fancy stuff (stats, xp, whatever) by using the SDK API. Or maybe they don't. They know that their users (all of us) would love something like this, but they continue to use SourceMM. How hard would it be for them to simply throw out a generic admin mod that they never have to touch again, just for those of us that don't want some fancy plug-in. If someone would just make that plugin, there'd be no more problems. No one would have any reason to ask Valve to do any of this stupid stuff. We already have what we _really_ need. No one cares enough to use it. And until they do, everybody's going to complain about the provided API not being enough. No one has to deal with Steam update patch breaks, but they choose to use plug-ins that they know are going to break. There's an alternative and you know it, so stop complaining. > --__--__-- > > Message: 2 > From: "[DumB]TeXas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: > Subject: RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released > Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 20:25:38 +0200 > Reply-To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > > What we _really_ need is a proper plugin framework like amx - it's been a > good while since source was released now and we still haven't seen anything > of sourcemod.

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
What we _really_ need is a proper plugin framework like amx - it's been a good while since source was released now and we still haven't seen anything of sourcemod. If we had this, made properly using the supported methods, developers could use this to build fairly stable plugins and we could for an example have database functionality. A proper bansystem that can check users against a central ban database and plugins allowing things like advertising messages, admins, reserved slots, mod XP points and whatever being read from a database instead of files are some examples where this is needed. However, in the meantime the SDK does not provide all the functionality the developers need - if it did they would be using it. That valve has no obligations to help the people making it possible for us to run our game servers is bs imo. I would certainly not be able to run my servers without proper admin support (no, rcon doesn't do the trick) and as long as valve does not provide any solutions for this them self they should be very grateful for the work these developers put into making their game service better. These developers put a lot of time and effort into this and do not demand any money back from the users - while valve is a multi-billion business (god knows how much they have earned on online hl based games over the years). Not to mention people like us that put A LOT of our spare time into running servers for their games. Without all the people out there doing this, valve would not have a customer base for their online games (there would be no servers). If just the ~250k players we have had playing at our servers over the past year or so have used $30 on steam games - that's $750 worth of players using our services free of charge. In the end valve should not just turn their backs to us and just tell us not to use these 3rd party plugins when valve can solve this fairly easily and save all their customers and people providing services for their games for a lot of problems. All it would take is pre-releasing their updates so that developers can debug their plugins before everyone is forced to update and have a fix ready.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
Seeing Valve's point of view on this, any suggestion here, even just pre-releasing the server updates in advance of the public release, is going to increase Valve's workload because of people using unsupported methods in plugins, and I think it should be pretty obvious to everyone why Valve see that as unacceptable. The real issue is why plugin developers have to use unsupported methods in the first place, and the dialogue should be around providing the means by which plugin developers shouldn't have to do things an unsupported way so that this becomes a non-issue. In the meantime, the plugin developers who do use unsupported methods should just make everyone aware that their plugins are inevitably going to break on a version roll. - Original Message - From: "bobby35ny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 5:42 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released How is this even a debate?

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
"Amen" to your example, I do disagree on one thing though; "just let the third parties know that the change will break their code" - This would take a lot of resources because valve won't automatically know that if they change this particular thing, this and that plugin will break. It would require a lot of debugging with 3rd party plugins to figure out and this is *not* valves responsibility - however if they just provided the information and tools necessary for the 3rd party developers to do this job them self I think we'd all be happy. All that would take is a pre-release of the new updates and possibly a change-log which I am sure they use in their development anyway. With a pre-release, fixes/new versions could be ready the second valve officially release their update(s) - server admins would only have to go to the various plugin websites and grab the new version after doing the update and be up and running again quickly. I'm sure this would cut back on time needed for support and discussions like this as well - in the end possibly saving you both hassle and money + having happy customers which doesn't hurt. ;) I think there have been similar discussions like this going on for ages. I noticed the same thing has just started at the linux mail-list as well with basically the same concept of pre-releasing updates a few days in advance being suggested. Maybe its time for valve to take this seriously and look into the possibility if this have not been done already? I'd be very grateful if Alfred or someone could give us some comments on this.

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
Yes, it is true that Valve is under no obligation to notify third party plug-in providers about anything they are doing... it may make reasonable sense to reasonable people, but nothing is forcing Valve to do so. On the other hand... no company can survive if their customers are repeatedly subject to loss of whatever service that company provides... be it disruption in product performance or in the supply chain. Valve appears to have the supply chain issued locked-up in that you automatically get the updates or (in the case of servers) are forced to download the updates or face loosing your listing however; the service side of the equation is perceived to be a failure by a fair percentage of server admins. Perhaps this is unfair to Valve, but it is the general perception and perception trumps reality every time. It is an established fact that without servers there is no game and most servers are running mods and plug-ins and these products wouldn't exist unless there was a valid measurable need for them. For Valve to imply that the problems caused by their updates (which are not optional, are strictly the responsibility of the third party providers, is for Valve to turn it's back on it's own installed customer base. This is never a good thing. I sometimes wonder why we play this game... what's the point really? But then again, why do people bowl or play golf or tennis... these are all games that people play for enjoyment... just like we do. The only difference is that we use a computer and they use a ball, or a club, or a racket. So what if every time AMF made an improvement to their bowling machines all bowling centers no longer worked... of if they improved their tennis rackets all the tennis courts in the world stopped working or made a change to their golf clubs all the golf courses closed for a week? This would never be tolerated and I doubt that AMF would try to blame these problems on the way people were attempting to use their products... even if it were true.

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
As many have said before, I don't think you can expect valve to spend time testing every plugin out there - or to decide which "4 or 5 plugins" that gets special treatment... What they could do in order to help ALL plugin developers out there - without having to do any extra work on updates them self - is to offer a pre-release of the updates to the developers a few days before its officially rolled out. That way the developers, weather they use the SDK or not, will be able to test/debug/fix their plugins and have a release ready by the time it's needed. They already have an excellent tool to distribute versions - the hlds-updatetool - with a small tweak I'm sure it could also support this functionality. Valve could for an example have a developer maillist - where a news-letter containing a release code is sent out. When the developers get it they could simply start hlds-updatetool with a parameter like "-dlupdate " or similar to update their server install. You are right on one thing though, the people running the servers out there and the people developing free plugins/mods for their servers is in fact very important to their business and people wouldn't be buying their online games if noone were interested in running the servers. So Valve does have a moral obligation to take care of these and do what they can (within reasonable limits of course) to help. The solution I've offered above, which there probably has been loads suggesting before, should not cost valve much money, time or resources and will help the hl/hl2 community a lot. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27. august 2006 15:12 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released Some of us do not have a choice of using these plugins.

Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released
[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] fyi metamod wasn't running beacuse the game_info.txt file got updated. also zblock does use the specified valve plugin api and that [zblock] is certainly broken. bush we have had an argument before and i don't want another but i feel valve do have a responsibility to make sure that their plugin api works ok if they are going to complain that plugin devs are lazy for not using it [srcds plugin api] and should. See this quote The problem is that these plugins are hacking into hard coded offsets in the game server, one tiny code change from us and the plugin blows up. The solution is for them to use the plugin API we provide which doesn't have this problem. If you don't like fragile plugins that crash your game server then please don't use them. - Alfred so you see, i think valve need to go back and check THEIR code and makes the changes that are needed so THEIR api is usable and thenthat would give them something to support their, frankly limp, argument. until then i'd rather use metamod :-P Bush wrote: Not valves problem that people who build off of their code and it breaks when the code is changed. -Original Message- From: Dave Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 6:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update released i haven't finished catching up yet but my server is reporting metamod is not running. and it was before the update.

You could for an example have a dev section at your forums, where registered developers for the major 3rd party plugins could get access to new updates and information a few days in advance so that they could debug and update their plugins before the update was released to the general public. Just throwing an idea out there, Imo _something_ should be done to improve this either way.

Remember that in the end valve wouldn't be this great if there were no people interested in running game servers out there and coding plugins and mods.
