HLTV request
I just recently re-signed up on this mailing list - if this issue I am bringing up has already been hashed out, please forgive me. Small request - that HLTV be able to reconnect on it's own without user intervention to a HL port that has crashed and been restarted within a short amount of time. I run a couple counterstrike ports and when hlds.exe inevitably crashes, I have a small DOS script that restarts the port within a couple seconds, no big deal. However, HLTV cannot tell that the port it was monitoring was brought back up, and eventually quits. There are some server operators out there I'm sure like myself that would like to run a HLTV proxy to a match port or public port 24/7 but cannot because of the current limitations with HLTV - unless they constantly monitor their server manually all the time. Bleh. Anyone have a viable workaround or solution? K2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nexus.hardfought.org
RE: HLTV request
If you're speaking of 1.1.0.8a, I have that... I just don't remember any mention of an autoretry feature. I'll give it a try... thank you very much!

The latest beta update from valve includes a new HLTV which has an autoretry command. autoretry n where n is the number of seconds to wait before attempting a reconnection. I tried it by kicking my HLTV proxy and it joined right back up. Works great. You can get the latest beta from ftp.valvesoftware.com (l:hlserver p:hlserver) or a number of mirrors that have been posted here lately. -- Ken Kirchner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assistant System Administrator : Tel (318)222-2638 ShreveNet, Inc. : Fax (318)213-2650 ShreveNet - Your Premium Internet Service Provider!

They updated it with the new commands. I asked about this just a day or two ago and Eric from Valve replied with the info. -- Ken Kirchner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assistant System Administrator : Tel (318)222-2638 ShreveNet, Inc. : Fax (318)213-2650 ShreveNet - Your Premium Internet Service Provider!
