[hlds_linux] Weapon restrict problem with the latest beta
I'm using the eventscript xe_restrict to restrict awps on my servers. This works fine pre-beta but post-beta I get the old bug back that crashes the server when you type buy weapon_awp at the console. Is anyone running beta also restricting awps?

[hlds_linux] Map downloading question
I redirect downloads of custom maps on my servers to a web server I control. Lately I've been noticing a few other HL2 servers leeching my bandwidth to download the maps from me. I can set up a .htaccess file to limit this but I've found something odd. I can see when players from one of my servers are downloading the maps. The entry in the webserver log has hl2://myipaddress:port as the referer. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [08/Feb/2007:15:15:18 +] "GET /files/source/maps/gg_boxical.bsp HTTP/1.1" 200 4786488 "hl2://152.105.66.176:27030" "Half-Life 2" I'm guessing the ones with hl2://someone elsesipaddress:port as the referer are redirects from other servers leeching the bandwidth. This would be pretty easy to knock on the head. The problem is I have a lot of entries that are obviously CSS clients but have no referer. Like this xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [08/Feb/2007:14:17:11 +] "GET /files/source/maps/gg_bunkers_1.bsp HTTP/1.1" 200 3236916 "-" "Half-Life 2" Does anyone know what might be causing this or an easy way to make sure only players from my own servers can access the maps? I could block accesses from the useragent Half-Life 2 and no referer but I don't know if this is legitimate access or not. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] VAC2 question for Alfred
I've been reading the latest Steam update about the VAC2 beta next week. Excellent news. We're really looking forward to it. I do have a few questions though. Does the beta mean we actually have VAC2 in the server code now (Although in a monitoring mode only?) Will there be a server update required to switch it on? The update said "This will be the last public notice before the system is released and active for everyone." so I'm guessing not. Unless this mailing list doesn't count as public :) I'd like to make two small requests for you to consider if I may. First could you write a log entry whenever VAC2 bans an account? This was always very useful in the older versions and served two purposes. First it let us server admins see that VAC was doing what it was supposed to and we could also process the logs and let the players see that things were being done about the cheats. Could you also consider adding which cheat the player was banned for into the logs? (Perhaps optional). I for one would be very interested in tracking trends in the type of cheats players are using on my servers. You could produce some interesting graphs and charts with it. Just my idle thoughts :) I can't wait for the VAC2 release but please, please keep it up to date. You've proved you can do it when you put the effort in.

[hlds_linux] The new server crash bug
I'm sure by now we've all had first hand experience of the new CSS server crash exploit. I'd like to see Valve comment on this if they could. After looking at what you have to do to cause the crash I'm guessing it's a fairly trivial fix. What concerns me is how fast Valve are going to respond to this. Unless the people using the exploit are very stupid indeed there doesn't seem to be any way of finding out who's doing it. My servers have been getting hit by this all day so far so I'm hoping there's going to be a patch very quickly. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
