Map update

15 October, 2007 (09:15) | Counter-Strike | By: Talon

I noticed today that my map archives are a bit out of date (1.5 years to be exact). CS1.6 maps are not included in the update I’m going to be doing. I will be updating CSS maps, DODs maps and HL2DM maps.
Now for the first time I will be doing category map packs, [...]

new steam cvars

30 November, 2006 (15:59) | Counter-Strike, Games | By: Talon

I must say, I’m impressed, the new cvars released did what the ace_rates Mattie ES script did but even better.  Locking peoples rates and keeping the playing field smooth.

steam does it again

29 November, 2006 (18:10) | Counter-Strike, Games | By: Talon

Steam just released an update that added a few new options but BROKE ANY LINUX SOURCE BASED SERVER
Clients connect to the updated server and it crashes.
HCS posts more details here
*edit* Steam released a updated and partially working version of linux about an hour later. Now any linux based server, the in game sounds [...]

Steam promotes hackers

18 November, 2006 (13:28) | Counter-Strike, Games | By: Talon

Steams last update has just made CSS hacker heaven.  With clients able to control the cl_restrict_server_commands CVAR they no longer can be scanned by the current plugins (zblock, cvarx etc).  Mani and a few Mattie ES scripts have the ability to kick players who have the command on and a auto scan with a time [...]

Steam was Overdue 2

17 November, 2006 (18:56) | Counter-Strike, Games | By: Talon

Apparently, the cl_restrict_server_commands is not limited to just CSS, if a client turns this option to “2″ it restricts commands being run on any source engine valve based mod including dods, hl2dm etc.
Mani will be putting an update out soon to auto kick players that have the option turned on (which is by default) and [...]

They introduced a new feature to lock out servers from running commands on the client……
They broke all mods like usual….
Mani will be updating his plugin to autokick players that do not change that cvar….taken from the mani forums in a post..
i have done this on my 5 servers using cvarx and zBlockMAX [...]

Expected Steam update today

11 October, 2006 (06:49) | Counter-Strike | By: Talon

Today will be interesting.  The anticipated release of the dynamic weapon pricing is suppose to be released today.  I hope it doesnt break everything like steam usually does.  Remember the August 24th radar update?  CC servers are set to autoupdate on map change so hopefully they will update by themselves and not have a problem.  [...]
