Re: [hlds] Suggestion and query regarding MOTD

I understand too that some pick it to get revenue to their servers. I wouldn't do it. Just seems very unfair to me for a whole bunch of mods to suffer partial or full strike due to Pinion. -ics Mike Bohde kirjoitti: I can see how the need for external funds make pinion popular for operators.

Re: [hlds] Suggestion and query regarding MOTD

I can see how the need for external funds make pinion popular for operators. Rather than give them a rough go of it for their choice in plugin I just choose not to frequent servers that use pinion. On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 5:45 PM, ics wrote: > It's another kick in the face for some if MOTD is

Re: [hlds] Suggestion and query regarding MOTD

Another possible solution is to implement functionality similar to redirects - a user has to press a key in order to allow the MOTD window to be displayed. That's probably the easiest solution and doesn't harm the useful plugins significantly if at all. On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 7:16 PM, Mart-Jan

Pinnion recently added such to their plugin, after on SPUF was a thread on how to block their adds, with nice features. Adding to the fire was that if the player had latest version of Flash installed, the client crashed when starting to play some Pinnion flash. So they added a mandatory timer,

Re: [hlds] Suggestion and query regarding MOTD

Its about the hidden motd, pinion uses this feature to probably remove ads after the client has viewed it. We use that feature to set a url to allow clients to tune in to streaming radio and other things... I dont think this should be removed. Pinion should fix their bloody hit system. Its been fai

Wasn't Pinion claiming VALVe is working with them? If so, why would a VAVLe employee say that they are going to drop the MOTD feature. Doesn't make sense. On 3/29/2013 6:10 PM, Nomaan Ahmad wrote: I agree with Paul. Pinion needs to be changed if someone cheats their system like this. On 29

Re: [hlds] Suggestion and query regarding MOTD

If this is all true, Pinion could solve their problems by doing more with JavaScript and possibly Flash to verify if a user is actually viewing the ad. One great example is using JavaScript's onmousemove event. Everyone shouldn't be restricted/punished with a rumored MOTD change just because of Pin

Re: [hlds] Suggestion and query regarding MOTD

It's another kick in the face for some if MOTD is being removed. Instead, it should be re-invented. However about no one reads motd unless they have to. Some mods need it badly, some don't. Personally i would settle for something like L4D series have, a banner and some text about the server &

Disabling window.open(...)'s JavaScript function wouldn't effect pop-up screens, however if the rumor that I've heard is true then that would indeed be bad for such plugins, and could see the community shrink on TF2 as a result. On 29 March 2013 16:42, Mart-Jan Reeuwijk wrote: > > Hmm, pop-up s

Hmm, pop-up screens for plugins like !bp and many others are done by users, but its the server's plugin that pops the requested webpage to the client. I'd hate to see such go, unless some can be worked out with the steam overlay browser, but that would cause a lot of abuse is my guess. (servers

Hi guys, Yes I understand what you're saying. That isn't what I mean though.

Perhaps someone at Valve could add a note to the hlds tool where if a Steampipe game is trying to be updated with the hlds tool, it would say: This tool is no longer operational. Please switch to Steampipe here how to do it>. A lot of server operators will have a non functional server after the
