Player aliases

We keep a list of player aliases in order to correct names within database columns, so they appear correct within the website. Comment below if we need to correct your name or haven't added it in yet.

1. Navigate to steam I/O[steamid.io]
   
2. Paste in your community URL to find your steamID64
   
3. Use ctrl+f to search for your steamID here[github.com]

Server features

Features aim to provide convenience while still adhearing to community guidelines.

Spectators won't receive survival times, and survivors will still receive their time if disconnected, given they were present at timer start.

All survivors get healed when the survial clock starts

movetype on gas cans, propane, and special ammo get changed on round start so they're non-collidable (bug that came with TLS update)

GM Demo Archive
Each round is recorded by sourceTV. If the round meets the minimum time or a player clip was saved during the round, it's saved to the demo archive. 

Players can optionally save custom clips (command: !clip <optional description>) - which is useful for reporting bugs to admins or rewatching something specific

Certain events are logged as well which might disqualify a round, such as SMAC detections, admin command usage, etc. as an added convenience feature for GM admins

Post below or hit up the discord to request additional commands & features, report bugs, etc.

May take up to a day for servers to sync updates posted here.

Changelog

See GM discord[discord.gg] channel for updates posted after March 27

  Should look like this if it's rendering properly: demo

February 20, 2022

• New command: sm_setup - defines a weapon setup to spawn with on round-start. Keep in mind configs are saved locally (no database) so you'll have to save a new config per-server.

just a heads up, oxygen tank locations arent saved, at least in personal configs. not sure sure about server ones.

[dustin]

Thought it worth mentioning that igmdb[www.igmdb.org] has updated their demo renderer and now supports L4D2 SourceTV demos. After the initial upload there should be an option on the next page to select a POV.

When selecting a POV, you can view the detailed connection log to view corrected aliases which sometimes helps, https://i.imgur.com/9ivadBc.jpg

I do plan on adding that in. Got half-way through the edit then stopped. I'll post in the change log when it's updated.

Hey guys the Miami Server 149.28.110.183:27015 is down some how.

I've manually rebooted Miami and it's showing as being online again.

Originally posted by Prey:

Seems like not just Miami but multiple servers are down atm; will ping dustin so he can look into it in case he doesn't see this here. Thanks for letting us know \o/

The other two servers that are currently down are London and Tokyo by the looks of things, Dustin will need to fix those himself as I don't have access.

Your welcome guys, thanks.

Can I have my alias on the demo archive to be just "rd"? Thanks in advance.

I remember there being an item setup command on some past servers to set a primary, secondary and throwable weapon preference. I think we could really benefit from this for solos and duos, I know a lot of people and myself included who would be really appreciative of them.

Haven't seen this bug reported anywhere and it's kinda hurting my head to try & explain so sorry if it's not a good explanation.

The vote to limit server slots is acting weird, we limit the server slots but it doesn't limit the slots to the value called in the vote but instead to the one voted before. So for example, we limited the slots to 6 earlier and it instead limited it to 30. I think it's cause before the vote to limit it to 6, we voted for a slot change to 30 and in that case, instead of it doing so, it limited it to 7 due to the vote before that etc. It seems to end up being behind by one or something.

It happens on the EU servers for sure cause I've seen it happen once now on each of the Frankfurt and London servers, not sure about the NA servers. Also not really sure what makes this happen cause it works fine at the beginning from my understanding.

@Sirrah
Thanks, got that fixed and servers will update with the patch today or tomorrow.

I'll forward this to khan and see if he feels like doing the edit. Just a few things need to be done to make that autosetup plugin compatible with the TLS update. Just been unmotivated to do them myself.

The plugin will still only work locally (not tied into a database), so any configuration saved on one server won't be saved on any other servers. Making the plugin database compatible would be a much larger edit and probably not worth all the time. I'll post in the changelog if we add that plugin.

[Sirrah]

Is it also possible to make the gas config plugin work similar to SN where ammo that isn't deployed in a config isn't deleted when you load a it? Cause currently on maps like drains making gas configs makes it so the ammo on the other side is removed.

[Tempi]

Need more eu servers tbh
