Re: [hlds_linux] anything wrong with l4d2 master server?
I've had multiple players mention invisible survivors tanks since the Sacrifice update. Alt-tabbing or start/stoping a demo doesnt correct the issue. On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 9:21 AM, ics i...@ics-base.net wrote: There was short outage on the Steam network yesterday, if you looked the list at that time, then it might be the reason. Never seen the survivors being invisible. If it's alt+tab related, try starting demo record (record blabla) and then stopping it (stop). It fixes tons of issues related to invisible players on Counter-Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source and Team Fortress 2. Since L4D2 is based on the same engine, it's priopably inherited into it too. Just that, these problems have existed in TF2 over 1,5 years, where they first time surfaced and since then have been spreading to these other games. I'm sure Valve has looked into the matter but perhaps not found the culprit. Something happens on alt+tab and things just don't return to normal after that.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 dedicated server not being populated
sv_search_key will limit your server to only allow lobbies that either have that key set, or use the mm_force_dedicated command.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d steamgroup exclusive behavior after 6/25 update
No, if the server has a search key set, then the only way a lobby can access it is if the leader inputs the correct key. No random lobby will find it otherwise. It's been like that pretty much since day 1. Stevo was correct in that if the lobby leader has a blank search key, he will only search for servers that also have a blank search key. In fact there's been a number of discussions on this list on how to work around having a search key on your server as well as letting public lobbys access the server since it doesn't work that way by default. 2009/6/28 Ronny Schedel i...@ronny-schedel.de No, if the client has an empty search key, the master server will respond with any server. If the client sets a search key, the master server will only respond with servers with the same search key. It acts like the normal Steam game browser filters, where you can filter by map name, region or game. If you don't set the filter, you get every single server in the world. To understand it better, you should consider the search key as a filter. Servers have a default search key of (blank), as do the clients. Therefore, server search is restricted to servers with blank search keys, since == . So it does effectively make the server private to those who know the key. That is until the game starts, which then lets anyone join any free slots.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl
The problem with making sv_downloadurl the primary source is that to access it, you need to have everyone join the server first. So if, say, 4 out of the 8 players need to download a 100MB VPK file first, you'd have a half full server until they all manage to download and install it On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 10:37 AM, Dan Offord li...@multiplay.co.uk wrote: The first major issue with this is the fact, that the internet is changing sites delete / remove links. What is going to happen once the site with the link on goes down / becomes a site just full of adverts... or the file gets deleted? A better system, would have been to use sv_downloadurl from the server first to download the vpk via a redirect site, and if that fails fall back to the download url within the vpk file. Jonah Hirsch wrote: It will not work. Here's how the VPK system works. When a mapmaker packages their VPK file, they have to make a missions.txt file. This contains information such as campaign name, version, author, which maps are for which type of game, and the images. It also includes a download url. (Remember this!) To start an add-on game, one person needs the addon. When anyone else tries to join their lobby, they are presented with a message saying they need to download the addon, and is presented with the download url that the mapmaker provided. It's very similar to how it used to work. The only advantage is starting the add-on campaign from the lobby, instead of changing the map once you connect to the server. Instead of making a lobby and giving people a link, l4d gives people the link for you. It'd be very nice if the server could push out the file, or you could use sv_downloadurl, but if it did people wouldn't be there for the beginning of a map.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl
How are map hosting sites going to feel about the new system? If they use a bunch of bandwidth with people directly downloading the map files without actually visiting the site, they're losing a lot of potential ad revenue. It could potentially mean that they dont allow any downloads external to their sites, which would put us in the exact same situation we were in before this update.

If every file is really downloaded through the URL specified by the mapper, there will be distribution issues regarding bandwidth for some maps and campaigns. Is the system really thought through?

This would nullify the need of sv_downloadurl completely. -ics Mike Zimmermann kirjoitti: One could argue the fact that even if you could download VPKs from the server, what would happen if the original site went down? How would you know where the new updates for it are at? Afaik, if someone in the lobby has a newer version of the VPK, everyone will be directed to the URL in the latest version to download it. So if a site goes down (which really doesn't happen often enough that it would be a nusaince), you just update the version in the VPK and put in the new downloadurl.

To start an add-on game, one person needs the addon. When anyone else tries to join their lobby, they are presented with a message saying they need to download the addon, and is presented with the download url that the mapmaker provided. It's very similar to how it used to work. The only advantage is starting the add-on campaign from the lobby, instead of changing the map once you connect to the server. Instead of making a lobby and giving people a link, l4d gives people the link for you. It'd be very nice if the server could push out the file, or you could use sv_downloadurl, but if it did people wouldn't be there for the beginning of a map.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl
The lobby leader needs the VPK file first. Then they make the lobby for that particular campaign. When people who dont have that campaign join, they are offered the ability to download the VPK with the link that is in the file the lobby leader has. At least I think thats how it goes On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 1:25 PM, rav...@arkanox.net wrote: Wait what? The VPK package comes with a URL in it. Is it just me or do we have a case of the chicken and the egg? You can not see the URL in the package unless you download the package first. So, can we assume that the URL in the package is just for convenience to the map maker and not for any of us to know where to fetch the package since we need to get the package to know where the package originated from? It's not like your average user will use the server browser in L4D to know which campaign exists that they don't have and unless you have the campaign in your addons folder, you can't start or join a lobby with it, which makes the whole sv_downloadurl not really useful. That's what I understand from all of this anyway. We'll just find the campaign we want to play the old fashion way and I'm sure we can expect Valve to have updates with community campaign like they do with TF2. On our servers, we'll install the campaigns we want, and have them available as links or direct download on our web site. That's how some people still download maps and while it's not the best system, it works. -- Ravnox On Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:02:43 -0700 Jonah Hirsch crazydog...@gmail.com wrote: When a mapmaker packages their VPK file, they have to make a missions.txt file.
