Thanks, will try it on my servers.

I'm pretty sure bball had no issues when I tried a later build of SourceMod. I watched a pair of players use that arena for maybe 15 minutes without issue while everyone else was suiciding a million other times.

Thank you!

Sorry for thread necro, but I host servers for a few UGC teams and one of the leaders approached me asking how "damage" is logged, since none of our servers apparently log it and logs.tf provides information based on it. What server addon is used to produce logs that include the following:

L 03/07/2013 - 01:38:49: "PlayerName<1><STEAM_0:0:12345678><Blue>" triggered "damage" (damage "109")

I'm hoping someone on here knows what is used to do this as I am at a loss as to what to search for.

You have to uninstall the AMD Catalyst install manager which will give you the option to express uninstall all AMD software.

Linux or Windows server? Haven't messed with my servers for a few weeks so I don't know if a game update was a nail in the coffin or if it is a SourceMod problem that wasn't present in earlier Linux builds. CPrice is still working on the new MGE plugin but I do not believe it is close to being completed yet.

I'll take a look at it soon, maybe this weekend. I don't recall ever messing with the actual spire, but I do know that there is an absolute mess of "block bullets" brushes inside of it due to it being near impossible to make a brush that could completely cover the inside of the spire. I'll see if any edges of these internal brushes can be pulled into the spire more if there are edges sticking through the displacements (the "skin" of the spire).

Hey folks, I just wanted to check and see if everyone is having a good time on MGE Training V8 Beta 4a, since it has been released for a few weeks. I noticed that Beta2 and Beta3 have a large presence in the MGEmod server pool, and just wanted to make sure that Beta4a didn't have some "show stopping" issue, or if server ops just haven't upgraded to the latest release for whatever reason.

Please let me know if you find any issues pertinent to the map (if it's the spawn problem, see the above post), and Lange has said that CPrice is working on rewriting the plugin at this time. Thank you for running MGE V8 on your servers as well as playing on it. It means a lot to me that I have hopefully helped improve a mod that many people play on daily.

Valve is converting those games from hldsupdatetool to SteamPipe. Server and client files will be exactly the same and most will be packed into VPKs instead of the old client GCFs and the server files won't all be loose anymore.

Subject: [hlds] SteamPipe is coming.  Download the TF beta
Message-ID:

The orangebox engine games (Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike:Source, Day of Defeat:Source, HL2:Deathmatch) are being upgraded to SteamPipe.  Steam's new-and-improved content delivery system.  SteamPipe is currently used by most games on Steam.

This change will impact server operators in at least two significant ways:

*         You will use steamcmd instead of the HLDSUpdateTool to install/update the server.

*         The conversion will entail significant changes to the way the files appear in the local filesystem on the server and client.  The client no longer uses GCF files.  Instead, most assets are packed up into VPK, and those VPKs are the same on the server and the client.  The server no longer uses 1000's of loose files.

We're using the TF beta to test these changes and identify the bugs, and give everybody a chance to make sure their favorite mod or plugin will work in the new system.

Everybody is encouraged to download the TF beta!

We've prepared an FAQ that discusses the details of the change and answers the questions we anticipate:

Please report gameserver related bugs in this mailing list.

Client bugs can be reported through this mailing list, or in the TF beta forum.

Thanks for your help, and happy testing!

(And remember, playtime in the beta counts towards item drops in the release game.)

Do you own an AMD Radeon HD graphics card (particularly one from the HD 7000 series, which has the most extensive power saving features ever)? If so, you need to download a tool called RadeonPro, add a profile for HL2.exe, click on it, go to the Overdrive tab, enable Overdrive and "Always use highest performance clocks while gaming." MGE as well as the regular game at some points wouldn't put enough load on my graphics card, so it was always changing to lower power states which resulted in my nice, smooth 120FPS VSYNC always becoming a nasty, stuttery 60FPS mess. Share this with your AMD Radeon using friends if it was indeed your issue. :)

It's missing a few configuration files that I always delete before upgrading my servers, but it's not like those ever change.

I did test hg3771 last week (Alliedmodders added SDKHooks to the SourceMod package) but the problem was really bad. The newest build is hg3784 but I haven't bothered testing it.

I might have a solution for the spawning at 0,0,0 problem (which appears to be SourceMod related) so see this post until Lange can find the possible issue. http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/4940/1#post-68212

After spying on looking at some popular MGE servers using HLSW, it appears that they are running SourceMod 1.5.0 hg3717/3718. I downgraded the TrashedGamers MGE servers from hg3761 to hg3718 (still had the original package it in my downloads, thankfully) and the problem appears to be resolved from what I see (I only asked one set of people on my Beta server and only one guy responded).

MGE server operators, I recommend NOT UPGRADING SourceMod if you are currently running 1.5.0 hg3717/3718. If you did, here's the complete SourceMod Linux package for hg3718 that I still had (has been purged from the waterfall for some time).

Hopefully this helps. I still have an hg3716 Windows build but I'll need to repack it if anyone needs it for Windows SRCDS.

Dual-link DVI cable is the only video cable included, so that's the main supported input. I do not know if the DP input supports 144Hz or not.
