i'm not worrying about servers, i'm worrying about people who post the URL in forums so other gamers can download that stuff with a web browser. Ah.. there is another option. You just rip out all the entities from your downloadurl maps with an editor like EntEd. Since servers send all entities

2006-08-08 Thread Frash
In that case it'd be a wise idea to only allow requests with the server IP referrer AND no referrer at all. (Since it's impossible for evil admins to strip the referrer, only people with a stripped referrer would be able to download stuff, the other 90% would be unable to.) Although some

[hlds_linux] Sickened by arrogant GSPs

First all GSPs leech the entire developing community. I had a chat with an insider in the developing world and it turns out he gets practically no donations for a widely used plugin he made. Then the GSPs are using knowledge shared by enthusiastic users on the lists and forums. If they wouldn't

[hlds_linux] Idea: Delayed spawn for maps w/o enough spawns

2005-07-19 Thread Frash
Here is the scenerio: A map has 40 Spawnpoints. A server has 50 player slots. This will lead to an error to 10 players that want to enter the game, due to the map not having enough spawnpoints. Here is the idea: Spawn all the players that can be spawned. As soon as there are no spawnpoints left

On the one hand it's a shame Clanservers is actually promoting and accepting cracked software. On the other hand, I'm sure there are alot people with Dedicated Servers who run this too, but EV1Servers (Example) doesn't get bashed for it. If I was the CEO of Clanservers I'd warn the persons with

This update re-releases the Counter-Strike: Source changes from Thursday (while keeping the in game menu enable, for now). Thanks for giving the devs some space to breath. We all know that you don't agree with it nor approve the methods used, yet you decided to overrule your personal opinion

2005-05-21 Thread Frash
Trust me guys, VALVe will revert it. They have to, or nobody will take them serious anymore. First the admins started complaining their plugins doesnt work. Then the coders started complaining (HLCoders). Now even the players are complaining (See Steam forums). I dont even have to link it, but its

I admit my previous posts were a bit too whiney and even offensive at some points, so ill try again. A fact is that VALVe does this all to maintain control. There is a big chance plugins like NeoTF and WC3 are simply impossible because VALVe does not like them. We are forced to use a menu that

Maybe it's a good idea to start up a Steam Beta Program. People can apply for the program on the website (and also turn it off there). If someone has enabled it Steam will automatically download the beta updates. This has a few benefits; 1) Only motivated people who want to Beta test sign up for
