Re: Pinion Discussion Thread

They do. New players (that play less than 10 hours) go to valve servers (due to a score boost). That then leads to more players going to their servers which leads to a higher quickplay score overall.

Re: [TF2] "Server is running a newer version of the game"

I've had this happen to both myself and my friends.

After the steampipe update your steam client sometimes won't get the update immediately and will let you launch the old version. Restarting it...

Re: Pinion Discussion Thread

I've been doing that for a very long time (once Pinion is done a hidden page gets opened for tracking purposes).

The panel always had a big mismatch and yeah with the changes that Pinion keeps...

Re: Didrole's Update Tool overwriting my config_arena.cfg

Put it in /tf/custom/some_folder_name/cfg/

Infact put any config files you modify there. The update won't overwrite them.

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

This could actually be a problem, unlike the previous work around methods. Which required either editing the hosts file or downloading and installing a script to block it. Which obviously takes more...

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

I don't believe there is. Psychonic posted that command when I asked on the mailing list if there's some way to test the changes. But he wasn't aware of a method for a server to detect it.

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

But you can't force anything AT ALL if you run a MvM server, nor can you force it if you run a matchmaking server.


An external program most likely. I doubt that they could be using the Steam...

You don't have to wait out the timer at all. Click continue and play, the ad will end immediately and you just see the "you may continue in XX seconds" in the middle of your screen while actually...

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

You can't force 15 seconds anymore. Because it would open many many MOTD windows afterwards if a person closed the previous. And it would repeat that until the timer ran out. Well now people who...

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

Exception Pinion forces completion rates. So now that there can be no forced timers people won't get paid at all. Unless Pinion makes changes to work with this by not require completions.

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

It says to implement the latest plugin. Would that be the one from a month ago or is the testing one about to be released?

Guess they did not fix it for everyone then. That's unfortunate.

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

Try this:
Delete the "team fortress 2\config\html" folder and join any server that doesn't have an ad (like say Valve server). Do you still crash?

If not try joining a server that uses Pinion....

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

An hour of work can cover server costs? Not everyone makes $200 an hour. Some of us use dedicated servers to provide a much better experience than one possible on a shared host. Anything from instant...

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

Yeah but the end result is the same. If clients are kicked it won't look good on Pinion. As such I would think that a better idea would be to have it as a standalone plugin. Like the force html motd...

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

No. I understand that. The previously linked way to bypass the timer also disabled html motds.

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

That doesn't really look good if it comes from Pinion.

If you want to kick players from your servers then install the forced html motd plugin and kick those who have them disabled.

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

There is this thing known as timezones. In other words, your server is in the past while the ad website is in the future :P.

I don't know why the Pinion panel doesn't say what time zone it uses....

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

You will need to recompile it using the latest sources. This is due to the changes brought on by the recent CS:GO update.

Perhaps it might need more than a recompile. I don't run CS:GO servers so...

Re: So, who will be dropping Pinion?

Daniel said that we get payed for all sell-able impressions, including those that have the pinion pot of gold ads. So it doesn't matter whether you see ads for 1 hour or 24.

So you didn't remove the HTML Ad code from your MOTD and you find it odd why it's still showing ads?

Pinion as an official server host is not really what this discussion is about. The hate you mention probably comes from people complaining about official servers having ads or crashes caused by ads....

How many other advertising services can force users to watch an ad for 18 seconds minimum? How many others...
