Any idea when we'll see the Linux/Mac fixes for CS:S, HL2:DM and 300? We
still have some players on Macs, only a couple on Linux.

Hi, Ross and co.

I was playing on Eyeaduct last night and found that engineers could build
during the truce but the buildings were not attackable. Not that it really
mattered because we just destroyed the sentry as soon as the truce finished
but hey ho.

I've been told that sappers can still be applied during Truce mode, but 
can't actually be removed during this time.


This probably should be fixed.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Ross Bemrose]

I noticed last night that the Flare Gun is only mini-critting now.  I
assumed this was an unannounced change to the weapon, but it appears to be
one of the symptoms of another change.

At the moment, you can't crit anyone who is covered in Jarate or while you
are being affected by a mini-crit source such as the Buff Banner.  It
appears that mini-crits now override crits instead of the opposite way
around.

Having a friendly buff banner and/or Jarate able to cancel the affects of
headshots, backstabs, the Kritzkrieg, and random crits breaks game
mechanics.

This needs to be fixed.  Soon.

On Passtime, which is variable for maximum points?
tf_flag_caps_per_round??

If that, change description =- Number of flag captures per round on
CTF maps. Set to 0 to disable.

Thanks...

 major economy-breaking bugs or remote-code-execution bugs, and provide 
 detailed information and steps to reproduce
- Well deserved congratulations to the first recipient, Nathaniel Theis

I seem to remember XMPPWocky using these exploits (he used a fuzzer to
find them...) against Community Servers in the wild. I'm also pretty
sure he's banned from AM because of this. I hate to say it, but this
is definitely not what Valve should be promoting. The Ryan's at the
very least for past contributions against Ticket Authentication (even
if there was a tool)...

There's definitely people out there who haven't been malicious about

exacerbating it against unprotected community servers is another.

If you can cough up evidence of that on servers that were loaded with 
people, then by all means, do so. As far as anyone's concerned it's not 
that unreasonable to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 version of the map is always used on level change
 - Improved handling of workshop maps in a server's map cycle
 - Workshop maps in the map cycle will be automatically fetched and

 - Map votes now work with workshop maps
 - A known issue is that the full workshop map name is currently shown

From the wording, I assumed tf_powerup_mode 1 would enable it on any map.

Haven't tried it yet, though.

Does that mean the grappling hook can be enabled in non Mannpower 
servers/mapsand if so, how do we enable it?  (I can see some 
interesting uses on certain custom maps).

Is it just me or do Valve map end votes no longer occur?

Could this be because sv_allow_votes is set to 0 on this server at map

I only noticed this because I'm trying to debug why the NativeVotes 
server plugin broke and was trying to collect data about various vote 
types and that one isn't happening.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Bruno Garcia]

You should fix the taunting bugs, it's annoying to see players doing taunts
while moving and killing players.
If a player spy does the taunting bug and disguises, the enemy disguise
will appear as tauting and can fool other players.

It's not a minor bug.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Ross Bemrose]

Right, but I enabled the sv_allow_votes cvar after map start... since I 
was only doing testing I didn't want to change the configuration.


Incidentally, I know what's wrong in NativeVotes:  TF2 now uses 0 for 
all teams instead of 255 / -1.  A new NativeVotes 1.0 beta is out now, 
but I plan on backporting the fix (and new vote types) to it.


The current 1.0x series will probably go away soon since changes to the 
VoteSetup usermessage murdered it.

It should also be noted that Linux servers have new dependencies on the
32-bit versions of ncurses and tinfo5.  Which aren't installed by default
on 64-bit systems.

On Debian/Ubuntu, these are provided by lib32ncurses5 and lib32tinfo5.

Is there a reason rd_asteroid isn't appearing in the Beta Quickplay?  
You can only find servers with pl_cactuscanyon on it.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Frank]

I see them but I only see Valve Beta Servers - I can't seem to find a way to
select Community run Asteroid servers thru the quick play menu.

In fact I can't seem to select Community run pl_cactuscanyon servers
either... this is why Community servers should have been prechecked by
default or at least have that option show up clear as a bell first.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Bjorn Wielens]

Silly question perhaps, but you're not running steamcmd updates while the 
server is still running from the same set of files, are you? I've seen that 
cause some _very_ weird (similar) problems on Linux systems b/c of how files 
are handled - some files get overwritten, others that are still in use do not. 
If you have autoupdate on reboot enabled it would validate and fix those files.

There are still a lot of server crashes on pl_hightower_event.
I've tried without addons folder and i was still crashing so this is not a
sourcemod issue. EVERY SINGLE CRASH was while beeing in hell. My friends
running other servers have the same issue - crash while in hell.


2013/10/31 Kyle Sanderson kyle.l...@gmail.com

 Were you guys able to fix the null model_t* trace-ray engine bug? I
 encountered it last week in cstrike where a solid didn't have a collision
 model, resulting in GetCollisionModel returning NULL. The initial generic
 call in cstrike came from the unducks in movement. The dumps I've seen
 (from TF pre-today update) have the same offset, so I'm largely assuming
 it's the same. Presumably High Tower has/had a similar problem? It also
 looks like guards are already present for a NULL vcollide_t *.

 The crashes I've encountered/seen are in bool
 CEngineTrace::ClipRayToVPhysics( const Ray_t , unsigned int, ICollideable
 *, studiohdr_t *, trace_t * );. Other functions that deal with solids
 appear to check for (and expect) a NULL model_t *.

I've had some complaints about sporadic mouse movement issues since
the CS:S sync. It doesn't appear to be a problem on my platform, but
others seem to have jerky movement when turning right. I have two
unclean demos (provided by a user), but I don't think they'll help at
all. Is this just isolated to CS:S? or is a global fix in the works?

I can't reproduce it, but it seems related to this change...

We haven't had any reports of problems with the mouse that I'm aware of. Have 
them send me the details (including system specs) if they're still having a 
problem and I'll forward the email to the appropriate people.

For me, lazyness, pure and simple, at the time the servers were 
initially set up, CentOS 5 was what was available, and since its been 
working fine up until yesterdays patch, i've really had no reason to 
look into anything else, or upgrading (read, reinstalling) 6.

If it's of any interest, although I don't actively run a TF2 server any 
more, I've successfully run a HL2:DM server on FreeBSD now for about a year, 
and it's never failed to run after an update. Odd in a sense, because it's 
Linux compatibility layer is based on Fedora 10, but I suppose the libraries 
themselves are from the base system which is far more up-to-date.


In fact, with the exception of this latest update and old Debian versions, I 
struggle to remember the last time any Distro had a major issue with an 
update.

Literally every 3rd or 4th patch someone complains that srcds got broken on

problem for anyone who also runs ubuntu, why do you continue to willingly
run an OS that you know there will be problems with?

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

[Ross Bemrose]

A more important question would be... why are you still running CentOS 
5?  CentOS 6 came out two years ago... and from what people have said on 
this list, it sounds like CentOS 6 isn't affected by this issue.


Now, having said that, CentOS and Debian both suffer from the same 
issue: Both tend to use old libraries.  Which means, when a new server 
program comes out or an old one is upgraded, you're going to have issues.


Even now, the newest Debian Stable (released in July) doesn't have a new 
enough GLIBC to run any Source game clients.  While that's only 
tangentially related to the servers, it does show a problem with certain 
distros when you can't rely on them having libraries released in the 
last 1-3 years.  CentOS, not have a major version in the past two years, 
is presumably even farther behind than Debian.


As much as I dislike what Ubuntu is doing on the desktop, I still use it 
for my servers simply because I know I can at least somewhat rely on it 
having new enough libraries to run the various software I need... and 
I'm using the LTS version released a year and a half ago!


... I didn't realize we were this close to another Ubuntu LTS release 
already.

 list, it sounds like CentOS 6 isn't affected by this issue.

 Now, having said that, CentOS and Debian both suffer from the same issue:
 Both tend to use old libraries.  Which means, when a new server program
 comes out or an old one is upgraded, you're going to have issues.

 Even now, the newest Debian Stable (released in July) doesn't have a new
 enough GLIBC to run any Source game clients.  While that's only
 tangentially related to the servers, it does show a problem with certain
 distros when you can't rely on them having libraries released in the last
 1-3 years.  CentOS, not have a major version in the past two years, is
 presumably even farther behind than Debian.

 As much as I dislike what Ubuntu is doing on the desktop, I still use it
 for my servers simply because I know I can at least somewhat rely on it
 having new enough libraries to run the various software I need... and I'm
 using the LTS version released a year and a half ago!

 ... I didn't realize we were this close to another Ubuntu LTS release
 already.

 Literally every 3rd or 4th patch someone complains that srcds got broken

 centos. Valve tests on and runs ubuntu and there's never been a single
 problem for anyone who also runs ubuntu, why do you continue to willingly

I personally dumped CentOS-5 (32-bit) a few months back and went to Debian-6

Of course, some of that was the CentOS-5 was getting kind of long in the tooth.
Going from CentOS-5 to CentOS-6 might have helped some.

I've honestly had the best experience with CentOS as opposed to other
distros of Linux. CentOS just works as opposed to some other distros that
I've tried that require a lot of configuration and such.

Not sure if its related but when you are viewing the kits and let's say you
are using a scorching effect it looks all blocky over the head or hat.
I've not seen this cause a crash but just throwing it out there if we are
still waiting on this perhaps its tied in together or something else needed
to be addressed.

- Unusual effects:
 - Attachment point and offset for particle effects on unusual hats
can now be adjusted from the character loadout screen
 - Fixed a bug that would cause unusual effects to float in the air
over dead players
 - Fixed a bug that would cause unusual effects to show incorrectly
sometimes when spectating other players
- Network interpolation and update convars can no longer be changed when
playing. To configure these convars, players must not be connected to a
server or must join the spectators
- Fixed a server crash caused by out-of-range animation sequence numbers
- Crates listed on the Community Market are now separated by series
 - Existing listings will be migrated over the next couple days

sv_compressstringtablebaselines should still be present in this build, and it 
is defaulted to false.  The baselines are not compressed at that stage, instead 
we just compress them if desired like any other network data at either the 
fragment or packet stage.

You might try adjusting this convar and see if it makes any difference.  In my 
tests it did not, but I would be interested in any real world data on that

Source Engine Changes
- Fixed server CPU spikes caused by compression of string tables and packets.
- Added sv_netspike, sv_netspike_sendtime_ms, and sv_netspike_output convars 
for investigating server performance
- net_compresspackets_minsize default value increased to 1024.  This convar now 
also determines the threshold to determine when a fragment (logical game 
network message, before being broken up into network packets) is compressed.
- Added vprof_vtrace and vprof_report_oninterval convars, and tweaked 
vprof_dump_spikes and vprof_dump_oninterval to reduce output

Team Fortress 2
- Added the Robotic Boogaloo community update: 
http://www.teamfortress.com/roboticboogaloo/
- Fixed a chat exploit that would cause other clients to timeout from dedicated 
servers
- Updated the Mann Co. Store
   - Added RoboCrate Keys
   - Added A Random RoboKey Gift
   - Added Pile of RoboKey Gifts
   - Backpack Expanders on sale at 80% off

[Ryan Stecker]

Ah, I had only checked for the existence of sv_compressfragments.

For what it's worth in my test of the prerelease build, the default convars
didn't help to alleviate any issues. Only after I set sv_compressfragments
to 0 did I see a visible improvement in performance. In fact the long
frames had virtually disappeared other than the occasional one, but it
performed much better than before.

Hopefully the new compression scheme will be performant enough to not
require disabling entirely.

 Thanks for the heads up Eric.

 It would be great if we could get a word back from a Valve employee on the
 CPU spiking issue that started happening with the Pyro update.  There's
 been a couple threads about it and no word from Valve.  New updates are
 nice and all but I would prefer to have a stable server over new content.
