AlliedModders - HLDS (not beta) Server Update Aug 15 2011 (5408)

I did not find a topic about new HLDS, I thought I open it. Good talk about new Update.

Changelog:

Code:

- Added sv_logsecret support

- Added sv_filetransfermaxsize to limit the size of a file the game server will try to send to a client

- Added halflife.wad and xeon.wad to the not allowed to download to a client list

- Increased max heapsize of 128mbyte for the dedicated server, default to 40mb still

- Added sv_allow_dlfile, if set to 1 and sv_downloadurl is set still allow local downloads

- changed motd_write to only work if the process is running an active server and the command is from the console

- prevented several client redirection exploits when connecting to a server

- Changed "Non-sprite set to glow!\n" debug console output to be dev only

- Implemented new crash reporting system, now with Linux support.

STEAM Auth Server

Known Issues:

Code:

- Is it possible to fix/find a workaround related to sv_downloadurl,

where if you disconnect while you were downloading from the url,

once you reconnect, you download from game server.

You have to restart steam to download again from the url. Quite annoying.

- Could you increase the max item limit to 1024 ?

( model, sound, and generic ).

It's probably just some define to change and nowadays it won't hurt.

Also 1024 is fairly reasonable and I don't see what reasons you could refuse to update a bit.

Sorry If already asked, I don't remember seeing an answer.

Install:
Run HLDS Update.
./steam -command update -game “SOMEGAME” -dir

My opinion:
It works fine, I think you should install it because it fixes the exploits, and some freezes.

Tested with (by me):
Mods/plugins:
AMXMODX v1.8.1.3746
Advanced Team Attack Control v2.5.5.5
MetaMod v1.19
GunGame AMXX v2.12
xREDIRECT - server redirect menu v1.0.3.3
PODBot v3.0B20b
Etc.:
sv_downloadurl

Sorry for my bad english!:oops:
