Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convar settings
I would also suggest to check token for a quote. This was the problem with one of my servers. I registered it yesterday so the bug which made it to appear within the token must be still there.

Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convar settings
One of my servers has a double quote character in the middle. I haven't tested it, it I'm assuming it'll parse the string wrong if I try to put double quotes around it.

Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convar settings
The problem wasn't that there was a '=' sign in the token string. The problem was people were assigning the ConVar with an equals sign: tf_server_identity_token = dfF3nn3c1$%# This isn't the proper way to do it. You need to assign it like any other ConVar. We're changing the output of cl_gameserver_create_identity to make that more clear.

Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convar settings
Fletcher - Would it be possible to add in a command to make the server give us the on-boot authentication string at will? It doesn't seem to report that on map change, only when the server is first starting up, and if your server happens to be populated at the time, it's a death sentence to ask us to reboot the server just to check if we're authenticating correctly. Also: my server's identity token didn't have quote marks in it, so I added that and I'm testing now. But, my other 3 servers don't have quote marks either, so it's strange that just the one server would be having the problem. There was no = sign in the token string.

Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convar settings
My gameservers run halloween maps 24/7 without any mapchanges. This morning they dropped gifts without any problems, but a few hours later they stopped dropping the gifts. I changed nothing during the runtime and all servers are successfully registered. Only a complete server restart solved the problem. After the restart the gift drops were back. Atm it seems that they stopped dropping gifts again. 30 players on it, registered, get gifts earlier this day and now - nothing. Is there any "registration timeout" or something like that active?

You *should* see either this line: Game server authentication: SUCCESS! Standing: %s. Trend: %s or this line: Game server authentication: FAILURE! Pretty soon upon boot. If you don't that means your server is not even attempting to sign on, and there's probably something wrong with the convars.

One last thing. You *should* see either this line: Game server authentication: SUCCESS! Standing: %s. Trend: %s or this line: Game server authentication: FAILURE! Pretty soon upon boot. If you don't that means your server is not even attempting to sign on, and there's probably something wrong with the convars. If you see the SUCCESS! message, but are still not getting Halloween drops, please post that fact on this list.
