Flitterkill July 6, 2013 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member July 6, 2013 OLD THREAD: http://gamrs.co/forums/index.php?/topic/43483-server-version-needs-update/ Just pushing a new thread to keep everyone in the loop. - The SteamPipe update valve pushed out altered the runtime binaries of the game/server code substantially. Stuff that mods and mod authors expected to be X, Y and Z are still there but Valve changed them to be 24, 57, and XXD or whatever. - This broke SourceMod and Left4Downtown2. These are important to us. If those are broke, no game for us. - SourceMod for Windows is basically back up and running; soon for Linux as well (we use Windows). - Left4Downtown2.... is another matter. If you followed from the other server is down thread, CrasX is doing what others are doing. Breaking into the underlying Valve source/runtimes to find the signatures of stuff that got changed. Here's the official mod thread where you can read about others doing the same. http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=134032 Once those signatures get found, *all* of them, this gets fixed. Sorry for the wait. Perhaps as consolation I will put in the GC store, once we're back up, for TWO days only, a GC Contributing Member special, 11 months, 11 dollars (because that's kinda like a two, eleven, because two fingers.... ehh, whatever) - new joins only - sorry already member cheapskates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanutButterNJelly July 6, 2013 Share PeanutButterNJelly GC Alumni July 6, 2013 Thanks for your hard work in trying to get the server back up! Lets remember, membership is not much more than 25 cents a week, do we really need to worry about people getting compensated? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blqmagic July 6, 2013 Share blqmagic Member July 6, 2013 i know at least one person who payed for membership then waited 2 days for it to activate then the server went down, people like that should be compensated. Who? Will do. I am one of those people but really i'm not worried about the compensation. Just like everyone else I am trying to hold out wait until the server comes back up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloosh July 6, 2013 Share Baloosh Member July 6, 2013 Thanks for all the hard work already, and the hours digging and checking code yet to come.

VladPiranha July 7, 2013 Share VladPiranha Member July 7, 2013 On the upside, all of the griefers and fools will lose track of the server when it's playing dead like this. Maybe they'll give up on it and make the world a better place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll give up on it and make the world a better place. I doubt it. Most of the people that grief the server are randoms that just hop from server to server wanting to get kicked. but it would be a better place if that didn't happen. *a person can only dream* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garychios July 7, 2013 Share Garychios Member July 7, 2013 So I could not have planned this better to not play L4d2 for one month! So I guess it will be up around end of July? Why is it taking so long to fix a server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flitterkill July 7, 2013 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member July 7, 2013 By my reading of the official mod topic it looks like it's almost there. A couple vars left and some tweaking to maxplayers is all that remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple vars left and some tweaking to maxplayers is all that remains. And plugins whose gamedata need to be updated, narrowing down plugins that crash the server, other extensions that the server uses...amongst other things.
