But it raises issues of concept obsolescence, market cannibalization for GSPs, and massive, painful changes for users. Not exactly light topics for discussion.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2: Scavenge mode in my own dedicated server
It means that Steam group admins need to be proactive by presetting a particular server into a particular game type with, i.e., map c1m1_hotel versus (and yes, that command works fine). Then the community members will see their community server in the server list for versus. Public servers don't have this issue, I don't think.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Available
@ ics...thank you! The problem some admins are having is relinquishing traditional server control for lobby-generated control. I'm fine with it as long as the relationship(s) are understood between the cvars. Granted, some of the functionality is changing from release to release, but hey, we're used to that! I only wanted a means to audit the settings I set. Is there a comprehensive document on the Steam/L4D2 lobby system? @ gameadmin...I'm trying to grasp the big picture since L4D2's release. The more I understand the better I can prepare for the future. With L4D we could skip some of the cvars that yielded unpredictable results (tags vs lobby listing, etc), but those days are over. And yes, I may glean some status info directly to trigger our server monitoring system. --Kerry On Nov 23, 2009, at 2:29 PM, Shane Arnold wrote: That's what we are saying.

Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Available
I understand the concern for public server compliance. Our servers are almost exclusively private and have been so for 9 years, so we're probably not the center of your concern. But my primary concern is to make our servers available to our community as simply as possible. And requiring the player to do the Valve console two-step just to connect to a community server is counter productive. Add to that the misinformation/guess-timation of cvar interactivity and Valve's secret feature addition/deletion du jour, and we have quite a party. Not an IW-level party, but you know what I mean. ;) Players should understand the new dynamics of the lobby and forget the old pick-a-server list...agreed. But the system has to work, first. When all versus lobbies are redirected to local hosting/P2P, when empty servers are available, someone has messed up priorities. If we want the users to change, we need to eliminate the need to hack the system. --Kerry On Nov 23, 2009, at 4:36 PM, ics wrote: Sadly some people exploit the system and have some server forced to for example versus all the time and lobby system is getting false data. Perhaps this is why mp_gamemode was disabled for L4D2. I know i've been in L4D1 multple times on random lobby and the game is set to coop expert and then lobby throws us to the versus only server and it might have some mod that has disabled voting, so no one can actually get back to the lobby with the same group. This is propably what some people here are trying to do in the first place. Have different servers for 1 gamemode, while the gamemode could be just set on lobby and so on. What is important now, is that you forget the old pick a server from the list and join it method. What should be used is mm_dedicated_force_servers as a lobby host and then server is picked that way. Note that multiple servers can be listed and it should be lobbysystems job to reserve a server and set the appropriate game mode. Sadly people still have to revert to console commands like this and server cannot be picked from the list at lobby or pre-reserved that way which makes things more complicated. -ics Shane Arnold kirjoitti: That's what we are saying.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
That's correct, Dave. Exclusivity, by itself, doesn't block pubbies. We assigned search_keys and exclusivity to do the best with what we have for now...which blocks public matchmaking. Our problem tonight, since the update, is that we cannot get a versus game generated that does not host locally on a client. Either no dedicated servers are accepting the request, even if I specify with mm_dedicated_force_server, or the lobby system is borked again. Tried this both with client defined sv_search_keys/mm_dedicated_force and without. To the best of our research, all versus games are being hosted P2P. Last night, prior to the update, everything ran relatively well. The point is, a.) without search_keys you cannot keep your server exclusive to your Steam group, and b.) since the update today around 3:00pm EST, versus games will not matchmake or connect to private servers. --Kerry From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of David Parker [dpar...@utica.edu] Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 10:28 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive I'm confused about what you mean by no versus games can be setup at the lobby.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
Regarding your mm_dedicated_force_servers connectors... Is a connection using that cvar constitute a direct connection? Like connect serverIP:port? If so, then you might be able to keep them out with sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1. Not sure. Are you able to start a server in versus mode?

Re: [hlds_linux] l4d2 demo sv_password disabled ?
You're absolutely right, Dave. For example, we run our community's coop instance as a steamgroup_exclusive server and our versus instance with a password. We find that pubbies routinely get routed to our exclusive servers. But bigger than that, from the GSP perspective, if your customer is getting a discount on their private servers only to have regular pub traffic, they are outside of the AUP. This impacts $$$. Again, I don't think any of us would care about how exclusivity is established, as long as it DOES exist and that we're informed of the general plan and time frame.

I make no secret of the fact that I hate the lobby system introduced in L4D. I don't think the idea is bad, but the implementation sucks. One of the big problems is that sv_password has never worked with the lobby system, and this makes it very difficult to set up a truly private (password-protected) server. In L4D, sv_password only works if you connect to the server directly, but then you can't use any of the features that require the lobby system, such as voting. Sure, you can jump through lots of hoops using combinations sv_search_key, sv_steamgroup_exclusive, etc., but why should you have to? As long as you're going to make the game use a lobby system, why not put something into the GUI where you can easily specify a game server, like the good old Favorites tab in the server browser. And if the game server you specified is protected by a password, the password box should pop up when you connect. I would imagine that sv_password is being deprecated in favor of the lobby system and sv_search_key, and that's why it doesn't work in L4D2. - Dave Kerry Dorsey wrote: I absolutely agree with Davide, regarding the essential aspect of community-only servers.

Steam now performs all IP detection and allocation to the server browser. And, no... no one ever announced this feature either. There is a very interesting ramification, though. I can no longer connect to my own server when connecting with my station that's behind the same firewall. IOW, Steam sees my addy as the external IP assigned by my FW. Steam sees the server as the external IP dedicated to it by the FW. The server sees my client by the internal IP. Since the server can't see my client's IP the same as Steam, I get an invalid Steam ticket error. According to Valve, The bottom line is that one of these two things must be true: a. The IP that the Game Server sees you connecting from is the same IP that the Steam network sees you connecting from, or b. It must appear to Steam that your Client and the Game Server are using the same IP (you are both behind the same NAT). If you are unable to meet these requirements then your network will be incompatible with Steam. So, if you operate your servers from behind a typical corporate FW config, you won't be able to play on your own servers without making serious changes. *sigh* Kerry Mike's Marauders!! ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Now this all is not tested by me and such, but i think this makes most sense .. see this snippet: // These are the individual bot profiles, which inherit first from ^M // Default and then the specified Template(s), in order^M //^M ^M Elite+Rifle Cliffe^M Skin = 1^M VoicePitch = 95^M End^M i.e. The Bot named Cliffe will first inherit from template Default (which is defined first in the file) and then from the Elite+Rifle Template. This way some sort of characteristics for the bot can be assigned.

[hlds_linux] Re: Your opinion
This may be the 'real world', but that doesn't make it right. In essence, this admin/operator has instituted a policy that has adverse affects on the server community at large. What the hell gives HIM the right? IMO, that's just plain rude. Now, I may sound like Miss Manners bitching up a storm, but that's inconsiderate. This also sounds like the workings of some 15 yr old jr. admin. Is this really the head admin/operator? If one of my admins acted like this, he'd be out on his ass in a New York minute. My server is my responsibility with my money invested and my reputation on the line. I wouldn't want some attitude junky causing trouble. Try contacting the 'real' operator. You're right Brian, we shouldn't have to deal with this. It should be common courtesy to prevent such issues. Otherwise, I'll just have to add another tag filter to AM/CM to include *.com, *.net, *.org, etc. which makes them as big a nuisance as hacker clans.

My method of dealing is going to be to issue a message informing the player to ask said admin to change their name changing practice, explain how to change the name andthen the player will get 90 min ban. Its unfortunate for the player that just doen't know how to change their name.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I am looking for a good way to search logs to find ppl who evade bans. So something that would match ip's to wonid's would be really nice. Is there a tool or a way to do this? hondaman - admin www.hardcs.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
[hlds_linux] Server Validation Error
Even WITH VAC, the cheating is unbearable. Against the modern hack, VAC is completely ineffective. Any noob w/ a late version of *(insert fav hack here) can run around in virtually any server w/ aibots, wallhacks, ESP, etc. Only diligent admins w/ careful instruction can properly handle cheaters. Stop waiting for ValvE to provide the answer. Arm yourself with knowledge.
