Have you guys tried running a -verify_all on your servers or validating your clients? On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 6:41 AM, Alexander Z wrote: > Well, isn't that just bloody fantastic. Thanks for the info, though. > > > 2011/10/30 Chris Green > >> Hi, >> >> I am think I can add something to this: th

Re: [hlds] STEAM Validation Rejected on Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server tool

As a workaround you can launch srcds manually : Steam/steamapps/accountname/source 2007 dedicated server/srcds.exe -steam -game tf It should work if you have the right steam_appid.txt As it's a bug in steamworks and not in the game itself I doubt it will be fixed soon. 2011/10/30 Chris Green >

Re: [hlds] About the TF2 in-game abuse reporting tool

For the record, while I agree this is Valve's game, the servers we run are bought, paid, leased, etc by the same people you are now looking monitor. Valve has always encouraged creativity and uniqueness in its communities and yet now they want to monitor. As server operators, we ban or kick

Re: [hlds] About the TF2 in-game abuse reporting tool

Considering that you guys (Valve) test the bejezzus out of everything you release - some complained that you may have even *over* play tested Portal 2 before release - such as the TF2 beta, CSS beta and other programs, I'm a little shocked that you would release such a project unannounced that you

Re: [hlds] About the TF2 in-game abuse reporting tool

As Fletcher said before, they're only going to be looking for servers that receive an disproportional amount of reports. Unless your community really hates you, I think you'll be fine. :) From what Fletcher was saying, it sounds more like it's aimed at knocking out the servers that run quickplay th

Re: [hlds] About the TF2 in-game abuse reporting tool

Still nothing has been said that discards the fact that the abuse system is open to abuse, and again, VALVE is juror. I never noticed the part where anybody said "disproportional amount of reports" I must have another look. Most replies about this abuse system are speculative due to a great lack

And if this isn't the case, we will find about it really soon in this mailing list anyway in the form of complaints from server admins hit by such attacks. On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 11:44 PM, Cc2iscooL wrote: > As Fletcher said before, they're only going to be looking for servers that > receive an

Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convarsettings

I'm sorry fellas, I know this has been discussed already but I'm still not clear on the convar syntax with the "=" sign. I have 7 registered TF2 servers. Some have an = sign inside the quoted identity section of the convar and some do not. My problem is I don't know where the "=" Fletch is tal

Re: [hlds] TF2 registered servers: check for rogue '=' in the convarsettings

What he means is an equals sign being used to assign the steamed to a cvar. Like a variable tf_server_identity_token = "lallaalalalL" WRONG tf_server_identity_token "lallaalalalL" CORRECT Hope that helps. On 31 Oct 2011, at 00:50, Team BOOM! wrote: I’m sorry fellas, I know this has been disc

Re: [hlds] About the TF2 in-game abuse reporting tool

Last I checked, srcds is free to download and run. And nobody is forcing you to spend money on hardware or rent from a server provider. If you don't like how things are being run, nothing is stopping you from taking your server down. On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 5:51 PM, Stephen A Yates wrote: > For t

Re: [hlds] About the TF2 in-game abuse reporting tool

Sleeper people are just a little concerned. Your answers are always so shitty, the last one just childish. The problem that I foresee is most likely to be directed at server owners like yourself, from allot of the posts you make I could slot you into a category of "most attacked" After all, this i
