ABOUT Weasel's Lair's Regulars

Home of players of the Weasel's Lair game-servers

Player statistics tracking:

http://Stats.WeaselsLair.com

Player ban mangement:

http://SourceBans.WeaselsLair.com ("appeal" a ban here[sourcebans.weaselslair.com])

How this works:

Anyone who is not a member of this Steam community group, can still play on our game-servers (assuming they are not banned), but will not have access to various special in-game features.
Anyone who shows-up as a "Member" of this Steam community group, is automatically granted acess to some special in-game features (various types of "voting", "3rd-person", etc.) in our game-servers.
Anyone who shows-up as an "Officer" of this Steam community group (with the gold/yellow star "⭐" next to their name here), is also automatically an "administrator" of most of our game-servers.

Further, I have restored administrator access to most current or former (and, in some cases ancient) administrators from these Steam community groups:

Weasels Lair
Freaks & Misfits (now retired)
Saphe.Space (now retired)

For those who are administrators themselves, and perhaps do not remember all the other administrators in-game player names (since they do tend to change over time, and this group has existed in some form for probably over a decade now), you can lookup-up some of their former common names in this thread: Admin Info: List of current administrators. BTW: Access to that thread is restricted to existing administrators only, since administrators may want to keep some of that information (former names) confidential.

Counter-Strike 2 Server Update!

December 5 - Weasel Ⓢ | 1 Comments

Valve changed like nearly everything about hosting CS:GO / CS2 dedicated game-servers.

Here's where we stand right now:

New hosting method has a HUGE server-side disk-space foot-print.
No server-side modifications at this point.
Remote logging, and 3rd party statistics service do not work at this point either.
A fork of SourceMod[www.sourcemod.net] (Source2Mod[github.com]) appears to be in the works, but not released yet (if ever). This would be the preferable solution, but not holding my breath.
I looked at an alternative (CounterStrikeSharp[github.com]), but not had any luck getting it working correctly (yet). I will do some more testing with this at some point. However, Source2Mod[github.com] would be a more preferable solution (i.e. less learning-curve).
Workshop maps kind-of work. All maps made for CS:GO by default do NOT work with CS - without the map author (or someone else) doing a lot of work / re-uploading CS2-specific versions, etc.
Very few workshop maps that were on the older CS:GO Boomer-Strike server have been ported over to CS2 so far.
So, for now, the server is just running a variation of the CS 1.6-style "Assault" amp.
CS2 clients (still) can not "browse" a list of community dedicated servers. So you need to connect to it manually, using a link, or adding the IP+Port information to your STEAM favorites list.
Initial server is up and running. But, it is very-much a work-in-progress. Connection details below:

Counter-Strike 2 Server(s): Update

December 2 - Weasel Ⓢ | 0 Comments

I am working-on getting a test Counter-Strike 2 server up and running - replacing the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers we formerly hosted.

To be frank, IMH(f)O Valve really dropped the ball on allowing-for and supporting "community" hosted servers for CS2. The whole change-over from CS:GO to CS2 for the custom game-server community is way harder than it had to be. Some complications include:

Changes from Source game-engine to Source 2 game-engine seem to have resulted in tons of changes (folder structure, how servers work, etc.).
The dedicated server distribution for the game is now no longer a separate download with its own Steam AppID, etc. Basically, it downloads the entire game-content to the server (all 34-GB+ of it currently).
Changes to how server-side modifications work. Basically, no more VDF's, etc. This affects everything formerly associated with MetaMod:Source[www.sourcemm.net] and everything dependent on that (SourceMod[www.sourcemod.net], etc.). Not even sure at this point what server-side modifications (even just for basic in-game administration/moderation) is even possible.
Unsure if "fast-download" capabilities will work any more (i.e. downloading custom server-side file via HTTP from a back-end web-site, etc.).
Changes to the way maps work. Apparently older CS:GO maps by default do NOT work in CS2 without the author recompiling a new version specifically for CS2?
Not sure which (if any) SourceMod plug-ins formerly for CS:GO will even work under CS2. In particular, that likely will include things such as custom player skins/models.

Weasel's Lair's Regulars reviews

"Cool first-person-shooters (FPS's) with a variety of themes. Love to host game-servers for FPS's - where a Linux-based dedicated server build is available and compatible with either SourceMod and/or AMX-Mod-X."
