PS: Regarding HLStatsX:CE, I also had to update the teams for the new FoF - since there are potentially four teams now: Vigilantes = Blue in hud messages, etc. Desperados = Red in hud messages, etc. Bandidos = Yellow in hud messages, etc. Rangers = Green in hud messages, etc. Here's what I am using (Team Code, Team Name, Color Code, BG Color Code): VIGILANTES, Vigilantes, #FF, #AF DESPERADOS, Desperados, #B2, #FFB6C1 BANDIDOS, Bandidos, #00, #00 RANGERS, Rangers, #006400, #ADFF2F Obviously, you may want to use choose your own colors, I just tossed those in really quickly.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Need more dedicated server for Fistful-of-Frags (FoF)!
Funny (or maybe not funny) you should mention that. My VPS got shut-down last-night by my hosting provider because there was Traffic size:[627 Mbit/sec]. I am not certain if it was an actual DDoS attack, or just the fact that there was so much demand for FoF servers. I had 8 FoF servers running, and all were PACKED (0 slots available) most of the time they were on-line. Since there are way more servers for FoF available now, I backed my hosting down to just 3 FoF game-server instances. So far the traffic has not been a problem. I think most hosting providers see a large amount of traffic using UDP and ports they do not recognize, and assume it is a DDoS. We shall see if my problem recurs.

If you want team-based death-match, be sure to put mp_teamplay 1 in BOTH your server.cfg and also your autoexec.cfg (or command-line). Theres a bug there that's not fixed yet regarding updating the server-list properly in regards to that. If you are doing team-based death-match, there is a CVAR to control how-many teams there are: fof_sv_maxteams. The value can be 2, 3, or 4. The meaning is: 2 = Vigilante's (blue) and Desperado's (red) 3 = Vigilante's (blue), Desperado's (red) and Bandido's (yellow) 4 = Vigilante's (blue), Desperado's (red), Bandido's (yellow) and Ranger's (green).

PS: Another FoF-specific thing server-op's might not be accustomed-to ... the maximum number of player-slots is currently hard-coded to 20. I continue to have an on-going dialog with the developer about that (as you can imagine), but at the moment - it is still limited to 20.

I typically put most command-line stuff in autoexec.cfg myself, but it takes pretty-much the standard stuff any SRCDS server will take. Here's mine (on Linux): ./srcds_run -secure -game fof -nohltv +port 6311 -steamport 7311 -debug; I put mp_teamplay 1 in the autoexec.cfg, along with what map to start - map fof_robertlee as an example.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Need more dedicated server for Fistful-of-Frags (FoF)!
Yeah, I moved from Wheezy to Jessie (v8 / testing) to get past the GLIBC junk (new requirement with Source SDK 2013). The version of Wheezy is like 2 years old. I think there's a work-around where you can drop a copy of lib from more modern GLIBC (same distro arch) into the /bin folder and it works fine as a work-around - instead of upgrading toe Jessie like I did. Ubuntu 12.04 already includes a sufficiently updated GLIBC by the way - for anybody curious about that.
