That's a work around & not a fix.

Fletcher did try and look at this in February but not much has happened
since then.

Re: [hlds_linux] MvM update imminent

We found during testing that tf_mvm_missioncyclefile crashes the server on
start up

This was reported to the list, but I've not seen any kind of fix.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] TF MvM hosting questions

[Dan Offord]

Is there any chance of FreeBSD updates in this version?

Re: [hlds_linux] FreeBSD problems? Try TF beta steam binaries

[Dan Offord]

Sorry Fletcher, I managed to break it :(

I did a clean install of the TF2 beta which started up fine.
Once I removed the existing item_games.txt so that I could simulate an
update, the server dies with:

Assigned anonymous gameserver Steam ID [A-1:587595776(2902)].
VAC secure mode is activated.
tf_server_identity_account_id not set; not logging into registered account

If I run a truss on server start I get:

[hlds_linux] Latest TF2 update breaks on FreeBSD

[Dan Offord]

Hi There,

Since yesterday's update to Team Fortress 2, I'm now seeing all
servers on FreeBSD 8.2

Having spent a while googling for this error, it appears to have
happened before, but no one has ever fixed it or it's been 'fixed'
when the next TF2 update has hit

The error message I'm currently seeing is:

If anyone has any ideas / fixes for this, I would be willing to try
pretty much anything at this point

Re: [hlds_linux] What files/folders, if any, are safe to symlink?

[Dan Offord]

You could set +servercfgfile on your command line.
This way, you would only need to use 1 install of tf2 and multiple servers.

Regards,

Dan

I don't think we get the demo files at this point. They would be out 
already. Maybe we get them for the public demo release or perhaps just 
for the final game.  This is gotta be some testing thing to see how good 
their own servers will run. I predict lack of servers once again if this 
keeps up. Maybe they do what COD6 team did, no ded servers - at all ;)

Re: [hlds_linux] Banned players are unbanned on server restart

[Dan Offord]

You really should do:

addip 0 123.123.123.123;writeip

That will save them to file

Subject: [hlds_linux] Banned players are unbanned on server restart

Hi

Im not sure if this problem has been posted before (I could not find it).

I have noticed that Counter-Strike Source servers only store its banned  
players in memory.
So when you restart the server all players are unbanned.


Problem:

I ban a player via IP using the following in the terminal
(You can also ban a player by steamID using banid)

addip 0 123.123.123.132

I can now see the banned ip by using listip.
Now I restart the server (using quit and starting srcds again).

The ip 123.123.123.132 is no longer banned.
I thought the banned plaers would be saved in a file something?


Does anyone else have this problem and a possible fix?

Scenario 2 will never happen.

You can't join the game, if you don't have the map, the join button is 
just greyed out.
Ideally, you would still have an option to download it from the servers 
redirect.

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d sv_downloadurl

[Dan Offord]

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.

Re: [hlds_linux] [L4D] Fixing the taglstring issue?

[Dan Offord]

Are you running SourceMod - or do you have something else added to the tags?

One of our public search key servers doesn't really get close to the 63char
limit:

> Tags:
> Public: empty,coop,versus,survival
> Private: empty,grp00i,key:hashmpukl4d1013,coop,versus,survival


We did however swap over to a 1.3.0 snapshot of SourceMod which has
sourcemod tag removed.

@Daniel:
If you don't include sv_gametypes it will still default to
coop,versus,survival so it makes no real difference

Set:

Having it as 1 breaks the search key.

Surely, the best way to do this would be to lock setting an 
rcon_password to the server.cfg and the only way to change it would be 
either map change and/or exec server.cfg and/or restarting the server. 
This way rather than starting to limit it to ips/steam ids and having to 
create mass whitelists, its in one file & only people with access can 
set it.

Re: [hlds_linux] sv_benchmark_force_start exploit info and *fix*

[Dan Offord]

This hot fix appears to not work.

Based on the fact, I placed this on a test server, clean TF2 install no
server.cfg or sv_cheats setup. (so no rcon password)

I was still able to load the sv_benchmark_force_start with Nephyrin's plugin
loaded.

If they do indeed have multiple ip's then a mass ban via servers would make
cafe owners think twice about it all.
