[hlds_linux] CZ, the future?

[James Clark]

Being the "gamesmaster" for the ISP I work at, I'm getting a few people
asking me about CZ, since I've bought it already they haven't yet.
Most want to know what to expect, i.e. is there going to be more anticheat
stuff, more or less resource hogging etc... I don't know the answers,
wondering if anyone does?  What does the future hold?

All I can tell them, from what I've seen so far, is that the maps are
prettier, but you'll need a better PC if your struggling on 1.6.

Cheers,
James.

Note to self.

Don't add:

You'll want:

OK, I'll have a crack at it in a day or two.  I vented my frustration by
deleting all my steam and cz stuff, I'll start clean off the CZ CD's then
"purchase" it with my CD-key... I hope this makes sense when I go to do it

No.  Fuck that.  Why should I _have_ to?

I can play these games under linux:
  enemy-territory
  ut2004
  never winter nights
  doom3 (not yet, but JC has said it will happen)
  quake3

There is no argument against linux being a viable platform for games,
it's just marketshare guff.  I'd even buy CS again for a client port,
I imagine others would too.  We all also know the steam client works
well under linux aswell.

I'll be realistic - I don't beleive it'll happen.

It ramped up horribly with voice chat, "security" modules and in game

I don't doubt that the guys that do the work want to fix all manner of
stuff... it'll be the people that control the purse strings that hold

a native linux client would breath some more life into the game, hint

Exactly.  If you want reliable communication, use a phone :)

SMTP is fucked - the protocol relies on trust and things being done
correctly - of which humans are terrible at both, thats why we have
spammers.  It was intented during a time where the only people using
the Internet were universities and scientists.

Sending and recieving a message and knowing it will get to it's
destination without failure is an essential part of the Internet.

I wonder what will replace SMTP.

[hlds_linux] [steam] latest update quick howto

[James Clark]

I had some funkiness when updating my server and managed to sort it be
following these simple steps.

1. Run your steam update the old fashioned way.  This will update your
steam client.

./steam -update cstrike /path/to/steam/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] password

2. Remove the blob, the blob is bad.

rm /path/to/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob

3. Run your new steam to create your account.

./steam -command create -username leethaxor -email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-password password -question question -answer answer

4. Run your new steam to get the update.

./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir /path/to/steam/ -username
leethaxor -email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -password password -verify_all

5. Fix liblist.gam... they've clobbered it again, so metamod won't work
   immediately afterwards.  (I haven't done this yet, out of laziness,
   I think it'll be a no-brainer, just hope the new engine still works
   with metamod.

Note to Valve, please please please leave liblist.gam alone, or provide a
seperate file that specifies the gamedll_linux stuff.  We like metamod,
we like amx/adminmod... we like things *just working*, we don't like
having to fix silly things... like liblist.gam.

Cheers,
James

Stop your bitching.

You should have been running at least 1.15 metamod - it has been out
for months.  Infact 1.16 has been out for months - although I still use
1.15 - as I saw nothing in the changelog that affected CS.

I don't know about clanmod, don't use it myself.

As far as I know you'd have to be VERY lucky to do this with WON.

Yes I do know what it is like for this to happen - I bought Q3 the
first day it was on the shelf in NZ - invalid CD key (I presume it was
generated) - I never got to play Q3 online (I didn't know what to do
about the situation back then).

(It took me some time to get the courage up to buy CS due to my experiance
with Q3).

Lack of patience.  When I was running VAC after Valve announced a modules
update it was very always tedious trying to get the new modules.

Probably =P  (game "cstrike") (version "46/3.1.1.0/2147")

What ever that is?  It's been ages since I did the last update - just

If you put what you want in your server.cfg it will at least be put back
to the defaults on map change.  At least this is the case with 3.1.1.0 -
there was some talk about this changing in the latest release but the
thread turned into a flamefest or something so I gave up following it.

rcon should not be given to untrusted people.  No-one but myself has
rcon to the servers I run - I don't trust anyone.  I use amxmod to give
priveleges to my admins.

Not really, hlds is an exponential beast.  Hopefully this monitoring that
Alfred has been talking about helps locate some of the bottle necks that
hlds has.

IMO - the thing that flipped it out the most was voice comms.

More of a modern DoD variant.  You respawn very quickly after you die

Leave overclocking to the maniacs with money to burn.  I've never

My friends that fancy themselves as the overclocker type all have major

Do what I do.  Don't run C-D during the week and make it required during

Depends on whether your using adminmod or amxmod doesn't it?  I'm not
sure if it's a native hlds thing, can someone please enlighten me.


ADMINMOD was in the cstrike root folder I recall.

>From their help:

Create a cfg file with the name of the map (i.e. de_dust.cfg). By way
of example, simply write in:
admin_command admin_restrictweapon 4 6


AMXMOD is in addons/amx/maps/mapname.cfg with the mapconfig plugin.

That is right, he can run it how he wants.  If that means changing all of
his players names so be it, it is up to the player to protect themselves
(i.e. read only configs etc).

Many of the admins on this list rave about the joy of doing an unbindall

I remember being amazed at how many cheats VAC caught in it's first few
releases,  I hope it happens again soon.  With VAC the way it is now we
can't do anything but keep "waiting for ValvE to provide the answer".

Unfortunately it is so bad that chances are if you are too good you
probably get banned, which is a sad situation to be in.

Only if it's true.  Always take Slashdot posts with a grain of salt.

If it was true, and the linux server disappeared - i'd stop playing CS
and running CS servers.

Who knows.  I'm not fussed about CZ anyway, its a single player game.
I don't play single player games anymore.  None of my friends own an XBox,
so I still haven't seen Halo.

I fully agree with HD on this.  The posts on the hlds linux list are
mostly nonsense.  Generally posts are replied to with some sort of

Thats because MOST people like waiting for webpages to load.  Forums get
very hard to keep up with, I find.  Go away for a week and try to play
catch-up, you'll be there for a few hours, instead of a few minutes.

Why is everyone so obsessed with The Deacon's opinion...

Silence doesn't have to mean there is no action.  It's the time of year
when people take time off work gets a bit lax etc.  No news is good news -
lets hope like hell!

Unfortunately VAC hasn't caught anyone on my servers in a fair while and
every time I play there are more and more non-regular who just happen
to have that occasional awesome game every friggin round.  Cheaters
are running riot at the moment.  I've given most of my trusted admins
the ability to ban, they are free to ban who they want for any reason
at all which is hardly as accurate as VAC could be / was.

Bans are local only and automatically cleared so innocent victims can
come back.  Hopefully cheaters will get tired of it and go somewhere else.

[hlds_linux] [OT] kkrcon

[James Clark]

Has anyone seen this before?

--

KKrcon version 2.11 running in interactive mode

Server: blah.blah.co.nz
Port:   27015

Type 'q' to quit.

kkrcon> status
Error: No challenge response

--

FROM CHANGELOG:-
*) Fixed module bug: No error would be returned if you try to Rcon to a working
   IP on an incorrect port. This can only be caught for type="new", and gives
   error "No challenge response". (S. Garner)

Unless I'm going crazy 27015 is the right port...

It used to work which is what has me puzzled.  I'm thinking possible
firewall issue?

Cheers,

Even if one of my personal friends got banned by VAC while playing CS

Get him to remove and reinstall CS, that should fix it.  He's got
24hrs to do something other than play the game.
