TF2 Server Warnings/Errors and a Couple Questions

[Xtreme2damax]

I created a TF2 server according to this thread and am getting some errors/warnings in the console output and am not sure if anything is wrong.

Quote:mp_teststalemate 0 //Test the stalemate mode. Parameter: <0/1>. If 1, the map will reset at the end.
mp_forcerespawnplayers 1 //Force all players to respawn.
mp_forcewin 1 //Forces team to win

Srcds is saying either those commands are invalid or they require cheats to be enabled on the server which I don't want to do. On top of that I am also receiving errors/warnings such as these:

Quote:Particles: Missing 'particles/error.pcf'
No '-replayserverdir' parameter found - using default replay folder.
Unknown command "r_decal_cullsize"
exec: couldn't exec ctf_2fort.cfg
Can't get ISteamHTTP to update item schema, requesting direct data

It would probably be better if I posted a screenshot of the console output..



Another quick question or two, I have a fiber connection with 50 Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream, I was wondering what I should set sv_minrate and sv_maxrate to? Am I able to use mani admin plugin with a tf2 server?

:Edit: I also get these in the console output:

Hey there I'm starting my own server to and I think I can help you out a little bit as I was having mostly the same questions.

For the error.pcf missing error, I remember having it when I first installed the server but it has gone away. Probably nothing to worry about.

I can't figure out how to get rid of the -replayserverdir message either, as I have replay_enable set to 0.

For the r_decal_cullsize and startupmenu command not found errors, comment them out in /orangebox/tf/cfg/valve.rc . You can probably comment out exec autoexec.cfg and joystick.cfg if you don't use the like me.

I also get the <mapname>.cfg not found on map change, and I presume the server is looking for them in the folder I just mentioned.

As for tickrate and such, I'm also unsure but I'll post what mine currently looks like:

Code:

hostname "Reddit 100% Un-Unofficial Server - West Coast"

sv_alltalk 1
mp_idlemaxtime 30
tf_weapon_criticals 0
tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads 1
tf_damage_disablespread 1

sv_region 1
sv_minupdaterate 30
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_mincmdrate 66
sv_maxcmdrate 100
sv_minrate 20000
sv_maxrate 30000

sm_crits_chance 0

well i was hoping to get the info on ISteamHTTP because it is coming up on my console as well.


as for the tickrate try whispers wiki

i just got my server back on line from nearly 8 mo hiatus and had to not only update my
tf2 files (this is nearly a weekly occurrence) but also sourcemod and metamod to even get the server to run

now my fps is not where i finally had it but i am also working on having everything back up again so i can join in the fun
if there is another holloween holiday event loads of fun. just could not figure out how to have last years specal ghost appear on my server like it did on others.

However i have nearly a month to figure that out and get my fps up again


thanks for the floor guys and any help on the ISteamHTTP question would be helpful
