if its a matter of trust, i think i qualify. i would however only be concerned that someone like me could inadvertently create a condition to where no one could gain access due to something done accidentally.

is there a way to safeguard that the server is always accessible to the most important people?

I don't think there is anything that you could do that would screw the server over so much that nobody could access it indefinately. Worst case scenario would most likely be that the server would crash and we'd need to wait for the people at 4uservers or something to reset it, but even that would probably be hard to do.

To be honest its a bit of a concern that you need full access to restart the server, as there are a couple of fairly common bugs in HL2DM that require it to be restarted, and so it would be nice if everybody could do it.


*wispers* 'Had to restart the server last night because of the penetration error. smiley Isn't there any other way to get around this bug? I hear mapchange doesn't fix it.

i know you posted the 24th as the next scheduled event, and i appreciate it. i also appreciate if you give me as much notice as possible for any other events.

i may be home the 24th i dunno yet. if you need a body give me a yell prior to the game.

it may literally end up a body, but you will just have to deal with that.

BTW, what country are these things being hosted in? hopefully, they move them around so no one place has the clear advantage in pings every time.

give me a yell the morning of the 24th, if you need a handicap player, i will fill that slot nicely.

How did you restart the server Andrei? Is there a restart option in the rcon section of the admin menu? I tried adding one but when I went into the server it wasn't up. Might just have needed a map change in order to load in the new rcon options list though.

And yeah, a server restart is the only way to fix most of the bad bugs smiley

you could always flood the server untill it crashed, and then it would auto reboot.

I think it would be a very bad idea to give out the rcon password to anyone, and even worse if they didn't know how to use it. Rcon can really screw up a server if the admin changes something by mistake.

Reno, I just had to restart the server again after the penatration bug kicked-in on dm_underpass. Somehow, I think that this bug has something to do with this particular map. I suggest removing it from the mapcycle for a while to see if the problem persists.

I have heard that, like Steamlab, Underpass is a prime cause of the screwy physics error (I assume this is what you are referring to?). I'll take it down I guess, as some server admins on the Steam forums were saying it causes the error around 1/4 of the times its played.

Uhh...me and Natus keep having problems checking some clowns' ids out. We keep typing status but the troublemakers' names just aren't being displayed. We can't fint the desired names in the kick/ban lists either. How can we fix these hacking bastards' wagon? Me hears that VAC can counter this kind of thing?

I've never heard of this problem, so I'm afraid I can't offer any advice smiley Are they using cheats or causing trouble? Or is it just not being able to see their ID's that is worrying you?

well, not being able to see their id may be because they're using hacks (or h4x0rz), but VAC is pretty good to have anyway, then all the lame cheating bastardous people will get permbanned when joining the server.

Lets hope, VAC v.1 didn't do a very good job because hackers just had to keep there hacks up-to-date and they would be home free. check out counter-hack.com (i think thats it) its an anti-hacker web site with a wealth of knolage about hacks, etc.

That's right ReNo, you can't actually perform RCON commands via Mani admin, it seems to be the optimal system.

Also, if you need the FTP/RCON details forwarding, give me a shout. I imagine Lep has done it already, but just nod and I shall do.

OK, I'm in .. thanx go to our glorious leader

i went online just long enough to verify that the admin is working.. so Lep, yes it seems fine.

so, if you notice me in here, and you need something done in the server and cannot get ahold of anyone important, gimme a yell.

i prolly won't actually play much more, but am more than happy to help if i am able.

/me goes to bed now.. this was a long run. :/

nite/nite

[edit]

LOL, i got to thinkin what i wrote, and decided to clarify.. i prolly won't play more frequently, just because i can do things. smiley

i was just about to go to bed and thought, "man, that sounded like i was not going to play much longer as in quit" smiley
