Re: [hlds_linux] Dumping Half-Life clients with lastinv quickswitch.

Re: [hlds_linux] Bring it on :D
It's rarely asked of me, but if it does I am more than happy to download large files for people on the server. The problem with having shell access and then giving access to programs such as ftp clients and wget is people can easily download dodgy software (accidently or not) and screw up your box. Such as that post from the modloads.co.uk guy. Most clans aren't out to have to setup their server from scratch. They pay a GSP to manage it for them. All they want to do is ban people who kill them in embarrasing ways. Our basic package has no shell access, but people can upload things etc. If they want more then they can switched to shared dedicated servers, and the top of the range packages they will get shell access as they are designed for multiple processes. Although the control panel is a good idea, I think I'll write one! Frash wrote: Well you guys think shell is that much of a waste but imagine being like me. I have a 15KB/Sec upload. I cannot run a server. If I have to upload everything with FTP, eg a mappack of a few hundred MB's I got to let my PC on for days to upload that. With SSH I could simply do a wget and the servers fast connection pulls it down. I have seen no gaming control panel that does that so far. FTP is OK for plugins and stuff but for the persons who like a refreshing mapcycle its a total hell. Also FTP is not that secure if you want to keep that much control for yourself since you can simply install plugins that read other files from the server or put a very high ticrate on. Since there clear guides and distributions only new admins will pay twice as much than a dedicated server to get FTP and some crappy webpanel. (Yes people, you can have a dedicated box for 70 bucks a month with a Pentium 2.4 500GB b/w plesk etc. nowadays) I mean every developed human being can set up a HLDS, even under Linux, now there is an arsenal of guides.

Re: [hlds_linux] VAC Disclaimer
I don't think anybody on this list actually thinks that cheating is right in anyway. Some of us run organisations and provide services and servers that are paid for. Making us liable, and in Europe consumer's are protected and can be taken to court by the government for not allowing these rights. I am not interested in people's moral standing on cheating, as I said, I would hope that's all pretty much in agreement. I am interested in how this can be done legally for when it all back-fires miserably. Valve may be a US company but they retail into the European market, meaning they are liable under European laws, whether they are European blanket laws, or laws of an individual countries. Which is why Microsoft is losing battles left right and centre in Europe because the laws are far stricter than in America regarding these sorts of things. This thread may not have any relevance for American server providers, but I would be interested in the views of other European or UK based providers, and what Valve have to say on the subject. Daniel Stroven wrote: Nelson, You think a one year ban is an extreme measure against cheaters? 100 years ago, it was pretty much legal in WHATEVER country you lived in to kill another man for cheating at playing cards. It is exactly people like you who promote cheating. You want people to think of cheating as some minor issue that is harmless..even make excuses for it. Cheating in a game, in school, on the job or any place else is not harmless or a small matter. Cheating is unethical, immoral, dishonest, fraudulent, and about million other things wrong or illegal. The problem is people like you who teach the next generation that cheating is not a big deal. People like you make them think its not wrong because some loophole in a law can't prevent it or because it doesn't hurt anyone. It's people like you who think only of what is good for themselves and not the majority of people. For me, it has nothing to do with whether your European, or American or whatever. Right its right and wrong is wrong. Cheating in ANY form is wrong. A one year ban for multiple cheating violations (cheaters typically cheat all the time and have been caught multiple times already) is not extreme. Nor is it unreasonable, unjust, cruel or unusual. If I made the decisions for the length of time someone was banned for cheating...it would be a true perm ban. Btw, your not an attorney so spare us your opinion concerning which laws of Europe would be best used to defend or protect a cheater. Valve is not a European company. You want to file a lawsuit against Valve, to protect the rights of cheaters...come to the US and do it. Otherwise save your excuses about cheating for cheaters, I don't want to read anything from a server admin who defends and supports cheaters. It doesn't belong here and neither do you.

Re: [hlds_linux] Small suggestion
So people download from a public HTTP/FTP server in game, yeah?
Would make sense. Although there would be no way of restricting people
leeching from your server if you didn't want people who weren't on the
game server downloading it. The only way you could do that would be to
get the server to act as a proxy and limit connections to that IP -
which would defeat the point of an external server.
Although, for those of us who have enough bandwidth to burn on such
things, how would a list of resources be kept with the map on? It
wouldn't take long before 404's started to appear and things went to pot.
I like the sound of that though. Anything to seperate away from slow
downloads from a server, or the joys that is 384kbps trickling off the
Steam network.

I know this. You join the game, you load up, and then just get disconnected for no apparent reason due to not being able to use the reserved slot. Don't you think this is a bit crud?

Re: [hlds_linux] Reserved Slots.
If you notice a few server releases ago have a sv_visiblemaxplayers cvar put in which solve the problem of inept browsers, as the server reported that it was full even if there is a slot open.

[hlds_linux] Reserved Slots.
Many server admins have a reserved slot system going on to allow only admins connect into the final spot on the server. Valve nicely added sv_visiblemaxplayers to allow us to hide that reserved slot, but with the current system it can't be done. When people connect to a server they have a pending Steam ID, and their real ID is not assigned until a few seconds later. This means the only way of having reserved slots working is by allowing people to join the server then waiting to check. The major problem with this 99% of people joining on the last slot won't be admins and get kicked, which is rather rude IMO. Wouldn't a system where the ID is assigned before people join the server be better for situations, or even Valve supporting reserved slots directly. I only have a mod on for reserved slots, so perhaps this is a feature that should be supported directly. -- Wireplay Official http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] server updating ?
Might be a silly question, but have you checked the steam file is set to execute? As the owner of the file (or super user) do: chmod 755 steam That will set the file to be executed as well. Just for reference for those who don't know the access permissions: 3 numbers indicated 3 access areas. Owner|Usergroup|Public. You need to give these a number to indicated. Add the below up to get what you need: 1 = execute 2 = write 4 = read So for all, you have 7, for read an execute (e.g. for anybody) do 5.

Star your HLDS with -autoupdate in the command line. It will automatically update itself. We are doomed to suffer the silly ticket problem for the rest of eternity. Take it like a man.

Re: [hlds_linux] 1.6 failure
It's just Steam overloading. Jules had a good idea of running a script to keep retrying for you. while (true); do ./steam -update blah blah blah; done But you will get this until a serious number of people give up or finish downloading and free up some network bandwidth. Although the Steam Support site says there is about 380Mbps available I'm not seeing it. I am downloading at 11KB/Sec at the moment, as I often download off Internet locations at 800KB/Sec on the same box I'm guessing it's Steam.

It is getting slighly annoying now. If anybody knows a solution to this please share.
