Re: [hlds_linux] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released
Oh my god is there a cl_nohats command? I could weep tears of joy, I'm so sick of hats and the like in TF2. The new weapons are fine, but the cosmetic stuff I'd love to be able to shut off.

[hlds_linux] Way OT: Re: Upcoming Left 4 Dead Server Changes
Jumping way, way OT, just wanted to say thanks for the glory that is/was quakeworld CTF and everything that followed. If my buddies and I had to pay you in dimes for every hour spent playing your CTF mods, you'd be a rich, rich man. Now I'm wondering if your presence at Valve might portend something like, oh, native Linux support of TF2/L4D/whatever games are coming? I think I'd faint with joy if that day ever arrived (wine/TF2 works, for very low values of "works", but...)

Valve is looking into delisting bad servers in order to improve the player experience for most TF2 players. Your server is configured incorrectly (arguably) in such a way that reserved slots show as open, available slots to the general public. When players try to fill one of those spots, they get to do about 30 seconds to 1 minute of map loading before your server kicks them. It is so easy for you to fix that situation, but you don't seem to care about all the kicked players... by your own estimation, it's 10 attempts per minute, so if it takes about 30 seconds per player before they're kicked, that comes to 30sec*10*60*24=432000 seconds (5 days!) per day of wasted player time that could be spent on servers where the admin made the very simple change required to hide reserved slots. Granted, you don't see that connection rate 24-hours per day, so we can cut it down and figure that you're really only wasting about what, 12 hours of cumulative game time for other players every single day? So yes, for many, many players out there, YOU are directly responsible for part of the "bad user experiences". The several replies to your earlier message from people saying your server is the kind of server that should be delisted should have been a clue to that. Fix your reserved slots so their hidden, and everybody is happy. See how easy that is? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Delisting
If you're hosting of of those servers that doesn't hide its reserved slots, then I kind of hope your server *does* get removed. It's been discussed numerous times on this very list, you can hide reserved slots so your server appears full. It's s frustrating to connect to a server showing 30/32, load half way, then get the "kicked due to reserved slot" message. No offense meant to you personally, just more generally to any server not hiding reserved slots.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D: Is there a hunter exploit out there?
Are you setting it explicitly in a config file or on command line? If you just start a server, it's at sv_cheats 0 by default, but if you were extra-cautious and added a line to your config file or command line, that's when the strangeness showed up. Heck, it may be patched now, I don't know... I removed sv_cheats from my configs a long time ago to get rid of the issue.

[hlds_linux] L4D: Is there a hunter exploit out there?
Playing some VS mode last night with random public players (on my own group server, so I know nothing funny was going on at the server level). On the first map of No Mercy (I only mention map because I have no idea how this is pulled off or if it's map specific), we had just come in from the street and into the room where the medicine cabinet is. Had a panic event from the director, then got boomed just as it was subsiding... point is, we were in that room for a bit. All during the panic and the rush after being boomed, I found myself and my teammates being hit very frequently by hunter pounces and attacks. I wasn't thinking too much of it other than, "The two guys playing those hunters are doing really well at hitting all of us, and haven't we killed them already?"... generally just thinking, without having suspicions of anything amiss, that it was almost like there was a steady stream of hunters spawning outside and coming into the room to jump us. A couple of my teammates started to catch on to something, saying, "Shame on you guys using the hunter exploit" and such, and the other team kind of had a laugh about it and said they'd stop. I asked my teammates what they meant by hunter exploit, and was told there's apparently some way to respawn immediately/almost immediately, or spawn hunters, I wasn't clear on it... I then asked if they new exactly how to do it, or if there was a way I could block it at the server level, but nobody really knew. I asked the other team in chat and basically got a "LOL, yeah right, so you guys can use it on us now..." and "It's going to be gone with the next patch anyhow". They had stopped doing it, and the game was going well other than that bit of weirdness, so I just made a mental note to inquire here and continued playing. So, has anyone seen/heard of this, and know details? Is it something that can be prevented currently?

You can accomplish what you're wanting, this is how I'm doing it: I want to play vs mode with my buddies, but have public players fill out the remaaining slots. I have a dedicated server set up with sv_steam_group_exclusive, no password. I start a vs mode lobby, open my console, and do "sv_cheats 1 ; ms_force_dedicated_server 70.x.x.x:27015". My buddies all get connected into my "friends-only" lobby, then I change permissions to a public game. Within 30 seconds, all the slots will fill up, I start the game, and we're all taken to my server. If anyone drops, other players get put in in their place (so the sv_steam_group_exclusive is apparently being ignored for the duration of our game). Once we're all finished and everyone is dropped from the server, it's back in exclusive mode, so it's idle and waiting for the next time we need it. It's been working out perfectly for us following those steps, but it's a good indicator of how very broken the matchmaking/lobby system is that we have to jump through these hoops just to do something as simple as play a game with friends on our own dedicated server.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Matchmaking - abject failure? :(
So many threads like this... my experiences match them, unfortunately. I spent the better part of this evening trying for some success with "sv_steamgroup xx" and "sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1". I didn't expect any buddies to join in as early in the evening as I was starting, but figured, "No sweat, 'exclusive 1' just means public players will be able to get in once I'm playing". Wrong... I played through three of the missions with just myself and the bots, hoping I'd get some other players in at some point. Maybe it's my massively customized server.cfg, a few lines that turn on the steamgroup settings, set sv_pure to 2, and set the hostname? I know it's not a connectivity problem, the server can be joined readily by anybody using the console. It's checking in with the master servers. Why no public clients? I turned off the two steamgroup settings in server.cfg, restarted it, and within 1 minute the server was full; that's pretty great, being locked out of your server before you can even get your game launched to join it. Frustrated, but not wanting to kill my server and make it exclusive again until those guys were done, I tried to just join a game using quick match. Three failures, all due to attempts to connect to servers behind NATs. How wonderful. I waited for my server to empty, killed it out of frustration, then finally connected to a 'net game where my ping was pretty horrible but at least I was playing without bots for teammates. My high-end server that is 13ms away from my house seems like a utopia I and my buddies will never get to enjoy. The whole matchmaking thing just seems phenomenally poorly done. Does anyone love it, hoping it will completely replace the good ol' server browser that has worked absolutely perfectly for all of us for years? Or does the majority of this list pretty much hate it, but tolerate it for now hoping it will get better? I never realized how much I'd miss a server browser until I started playing L4D this evening. Tonight I felt a level of disappointment with this otherwise great new game that I'd never dreamt possible.
