Re: [hlds_linux] Fistful-of-Frags (FoF), player black-list, etc.
Just clarified with the developer, the new Fistful-of-Frags on Steam does NOT attempt to do any global player black-list of it's own (unlike the old version 3.9 mod for OrangeBox). I *assume* putting the server into VAC secure-mode will enforces blocking VAC-banned players. Seems to me that is more low-level than whatever the game/mod-developers get to control anyway. Re: [hlds] Need more dedicated server for Fistful-of-Frags (FoF)! Weasels Lair Sun, 11 May 2014 19:07:25 -0700 I am not sure that game/mod-specific ban system is still in place in the new Steam version. But, I will double-check with the developer (R_Yell) on that. PS: I didn't like that much either, and was able to block it by just preventing that domain name from resolving on my server with a hosts file. But again, I do not think that is necessary any more.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Need more dedicated server for Fistful-of-Frags (FoF)!
PS: Regarding HLStatsX:CE, I also had to update the teams for the new FoF - since there are potentially four teams now: Vigilantes = Blue in hud messages, etc. Desperados = Red in hud messages, etc. Bandidos = Yellow in hud messages, etc. Rangers = Green in hud messages, etc. Here's what I am using (Team Code, Team Name, Color Code, BG Color Code): VIGILANTES, Vigilantes, #FF, #AF DESPERADOS, Desperados, #B2, #FFB6C1 BANDIDOS, Bandidos, #00, #00 RANGERS, Rangers, #006400, #ADFF2F Obviously, you may want to use choose your own colors, I just tossed those in really quickly.

So, I think I just ripped-out that stuff. Otherwise, I the weapons are the same I though. I am having an issue with a few weapons not showing-up in the stats at the moment. For example the Schofield pistol, I didn't think that was new - but I don't see any stats for that showing. I haven't had any time to dig any further into it than that. I do have both the old and new FoF on my HLStasX:CE system. The old mod/ver3.9 stuff I moved over to fistful_of_frags ID, and use fof as the ID for the new FoF for Steam - to match what their game folders are. But, that was really just so I wouldn't confuse the two.

[hlds_linux] FoF status command not working
Hello, It seems I'm not able to register for the FoF forums, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone knows the answer. I set up an FoF dedicated server on Debian 7 64-bit. The server starts, but for some reason I can't run the status command on the console. Other commands work fine, but status simply does nothing. Any ideas? Here's an example: maps * - PENDING: (fs) fof_desperados.bsp PENDING: (fs) fof_fistful.bsp PENDING: (fs) fof_revenge.bsp PENDING: (fs) fof_robertlee.bsp status net_status Net status for host 72.237.4.36: - Config: Multiplayer, dedicated, 0 connections - Ports: Client 27005, Server 27015, HLTV 27020, Matchmaking 0, Systemlink 0 status stats CPUIn (KB/s) Out (KB/s) Uptime Map changes FPS Players Connects 0.00 0.00 0.000 -1 66.6700 status Unknown command quit Mon May 12 15:26:32 EDT 2014: Server restart in 10 seconds ^CMon May 12 15:26:33 EDT 2014: Server Quit Note that every status command did nothing, although it's accepted as a valid command (there's no unknown command error). I'm also not sure why the uptime is -1 in that stats output, although I had literally just started this server, so perhaps that's what it says when 1 full minute has not passed yet.

Re: [hlds_linux] FoF status command not working
It's installed via SteamCMD on a box which is successfully running other SRCDS servers (TF2, CS:GO, L4D2) without any issues. On my first attempt to start the FoF server, I ran into an error about not having GLIBC_2.15 but I solved it by installing the libm.so.6 library as mentioned in the documentation for a different game: http://wiki.nomoreroominhell.com/wiki/Dedicated_Server_Setup#GLIBC_2.15_error Now the server starts, and everything looks normal, but there are actually two issues: 1. The status command does not work. 2. The server.cfg is apparently not getting loaded. Options which I have specified on the command line (ip, port, maxplayers, etc.) are correctly set when the server starts. However, options which are specified in the server.cfg file (hostname, motdfile, sv_contact, etc.) are not set. This seems odd to me, because I just edited a few items in the stock server.cfg delivered with the dedicated server. Any idea if that library mismatch could be causing these issues?

[hlds_linux] Update regarding Fistful-of-Frags (FoF) on Steam, servers, etc.
First of all, just wanted to thank the community of server operators/admins for responding; and bringing-up additional servers for the players trying to get into the game. The player response to the release was overwhelming. Who would have thought that a free Steam game, that is basically a stripped-down reboot of an older OrangeBox mod would be as popular as it was. It is kind of assume that player-interest will fade some over the coming week's - but who really can tell. At any given time, there seem to be between 800 and 1,700 players in-game (according to the Steam community hub page). Just on my own FoF servers alone, I have seen almost 7,000 unique SteamID's connect/play (based-on HLStatsX:CE tracking). Currently, there seem to be plenty of servers on-line for FoF. Although, anybody is willing to bring one up of course - ESPECIALLY if you actually play the game. At this point, what I would like to encourage everyone to take all the FoF-related discussions *OFF* the HLDS and HLDS_Linux distribution lists. I am sure everybody NOT interested in FoF is tired of all the FoF-related chatter. Thanks also to them also for putting-up with the extraneous chatter. I have not seem any negative feedback on that - but let's not outstay our welcome. The official FoF links are: Official Steam Game Group Page (links to everything else): http://steamcommunity.com/games/fof Steam Store Page (where to send people to get the client): http://store.steampowered.com/app/265630 Steam Game Hub/Community Page: http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630 Specifically, the Discussions part of the game-hub: http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630/discussions *** Most importantly ***, the Server Administration discussion area (where we should probably be taking these conversations): http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630/discussions/6/ PS: I am not the developer of FoF or anything remotely like that. Just another server operator who's been at this a while like everybody else here - and just happened to be a fan of the game (old and new). The developer has granted me some access to clean-up the discussions area of the community hub - which has (appropriately?) been like the wild-west - in terms of people going WAYoff-topic, duplicate discussions or just posting in the wrong areas.. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
