Counter-Strike: Source Update Available (6-23-10)

[Mooga]

Sorry for the late news!
I worked all day long!

Jason Wrote:A required update for Counter-Strike: Source has been updated. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive the updates. The major changes include:

UI:
- Added the following cvars to allow players to customize their scoreboards.
- cl_scoreboard_ct_color_red
- cl_scoreboard_ct_color_green
- cl_scoreboard_ct_color_blue
- cl_scoreboard_t_color_red
- cl_scoreboard_t_color_green
- cl_scoreboard_t_color_blue
- cl_scoreboard_dead_color_red
- cl_scoreboard_dead_color_green
- cl_scoreboard_dead_color_blue
- Changed the screen that appears when the message of the day fails to load to display proper error text.
- Made the CT silhouette for the auto-select option in the Choose a Class screen smaller and corrected its aspect ratio.
- Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.

Gameplay:
- Made ladders easier to climb. Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle.
- Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.
- Fixed issue in which you weren't given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order). Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as '*** in 1' on console.
- There's now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.
- If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.
- If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.
- If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.
- If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.
- Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.

General:
- Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen. Now only a specific list of commands is allowed.
- Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound.
- cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command.
- Many development console commands which would crash the server removed.
- Updated source engine addresses many issues:
- Better flashlight effect
- Better HDR behavior
- Multicore rendering support
- Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.
- Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server.
- Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server.
- Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server.
- Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33. This addressed a number of issues, including:
- Tick rate affecting how fast doors open / close
- Tick rate causing players hitting the ground to stutter
- Tick rate affecting the firing mechanisms of certain guns

For Windows add -command update to your startup line
For Linux add -autoupdate to your startup line

restart you server

[loopyman]

Didn't realchamp announce?

[Bisse]

my start opfile lock like this.
@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -command update -console -game cstrike -autoupdate -pingboost -tickrate 100 +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 14 +ip 192.168.1.237 -port 27015
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

But it will not update.

One advise BEFORE updating:
- Create the folder orangebox in the same directory where cstrike is located in.
- Move the cstrike folder and the srcds scripts/binaries to the new orangebox folder
- update with verify_all

Saves you from redownloading all maps materials etc.

wath am i doing wrong. it will not update. is ther somthing i have to download?

[Sevanon]

Hey, thought i would post here in case more people see it from following the twitter link and it is sort of related.

since the CSS update i havnt being able to run my source dedicated server. I have tried multiple things and read multiple guides. It was working before the update and source dedicated server still runs if I tell it to create a HL2DM server.

Anyone have any ideas?

Also if any more information helps i posted it in this thread...

Bisse, you need to use hldsupdatetool.

[shadow501]

If you use the hldsupdatetool, it destroys your server completely even if you create the orangebox directory prior and move everything in it! They have really done it this time what a terrible job they did ! I am running 2 Counter-Strike Source console, one a gungame and a classic Counter-Strike Source bomb / defuse and I cannot get either on them updated without braking all of my configs!

This command won’t update my server at all.
start /wait srcds.exe -command update -console -game cstrike +exec server.cfg -tickrate 100 +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2 -port 27015 -secure

[tsunami_]

server crashes when full 32/32 :@ stupid valve :@

[Nisd]

Just a little heads up, I had to use the sourcemod snapshot build to get sourcemod running

[Arjen]

Even the last stable sourcemod version works ...

[Nisd]

Could not get it working.... But taking the latest snapshot did it for me.
Using the: 1.3.4-hg2996.zip atm

OK have rebuild one of my server using the below plugins and now I have one back on line and running. I am noticing the server now runs at 66 tic and you can't make it 100 tic anymore. Some of the server.cfg variables too are not working anymore like the sv_unlag and sv_maxunlag for exemple. And I saw a first MAC OS player on my server!

MetaMod:Source v1.8.2V
Mani Admin Plugin v1.2U for OB

Now getting my GunGame server back up and running!
