不好意思之前都有在這個群組的伺服器玩TF2 經驗相當的好
只是這兩天碰到一些問題想請問一下有沒有解決的方法
像是主要武器與次要武器甚至進戰武器的切換會有卡死的情形
簡而言之有可能從頭到尾沒辦法換武器
這樣還不是最嚴重的
而是不管我在職業選單上選任何職業都只會用我一進伺服器的那個職業
在別的伺服器確認過都可以正常運作
只是這兩天在hsp.hk 群組的伺服器有這樣的問題發生
麻煩高手幫忙解決
謝謝

Replay seems introduced significant disk IO and slow down the whole server machine during high load. I had disabled replay for some servers but Vanilla #2 for now, see if the overall server performance improve, then I will try to add more replay enabled servers if resources are allowed.

I guess fixing the replay may be better, now server #1, 2, 3, 5 got Replay enabled. What I worry about right now is Replay may reduce the realtime performance of the game servers.

I will let them on in these servers, so players can compare the performance of the servers with or without Replay.

Servers with replay on do not have significantly reduced performance.

Interesting idea, but I need to think about how to implement it elegantly, and, actually it is in conflict with the cheater reporting facility we are currently running now.

Implement this properly probably more difficult than urging Valve to fix their software. Although they don't even care how bad in state their software are right now, especially for the server side stuff.

While replays don't work is it possible to download SourceTV demos instead? Even if they are only available for a short time after each round, it would be very nice!

Also, please set !votekick and !votemute to public access.

Its pointless to have these functions blocked off to everybody except admins, since admins can kick players immediately without having to vote.

First of all, votemute is completely useless as you can just mute someone on your own for whatever reasons, there is no point making a vote to also 'force others to mute someone'.

About votekick, we used to have that features but it did no good for the servers since people only abuse it for their personal grudge, like vote kicking players on the other team who play very well or just anyone they hate. Good players won't even have a chance to play when votekick is available and so we completely disable voting.

And I don't really think that votekick is by any mean useful because there is nothing you can do to grieve in the game except trolling. But you can just mute the trolls so it is not the end of the day.

For cheating, we decide to set up a reporting system because most people can't judge cheating correctly. Many of the cheating reports we have received are false alarms and we don't want anyone to be kicked simply because they play better than anyone else. So players should use the reporting system to record a demo and we will judge it after investigating the demo. There will be some sort of delay but there is no other better choices.

BTW, our admins almost never kicked a single person until now except known cheaters. But I have been kicked a few times when votekicking was enabled.

We are aware of the replay problem, I had sent another email to JonL of Valve to discuss about this problem again. Once we have any progress I will keep you informed.

One more suggestion. The replay system doesn't seems to wok very well on your servers.
Firstly, you will have to record it manually. This is somehow inconvenient if I forgot to start the recording when I spawn. While some popular servers like Starhub records your last life automatically and provide you the file when you are dead.
Secondly, the replays I downloaded from your servers are mostly corrupted, only one of them was successfully downloaded but sadly was nothing of interest. I don't know if this is a server-side problem or just a bug, but this doesn't happen when I'm playing on other servers with replay turned on.

We are aware of the server performance problem a while ago, but it is not yet solvable. This happens on servers running on new Intel core i5/i7 cpus, which the players experience lag spikes even the server is not loaded and has plenty of spare processing power. We are talking to Valve about this but I don't think it can be solved in short time period.

Class limitations are there for spies, engineers and heavies, and we are planning to limit snipers as well to avoid teams with 6 or 7 newbie snipers in a 12 players team, which eventually put the better players in the team in a hopeless handicap and frustration.

One final request is to install class limiting plug-in to reduce the number of snipers, spies, engineers and heavies, not only annoying, but also slowing down the game. While some teams are not able to breakthrough the defense, some engineers will lead a 5-CP map into stalemate.

Edit: Never mind about the engie limitation.

I'm a frequent player in HK servers, and yes I mostly play in hsp servers now. I have one major complaint about server #4, the server performance drop drastically without warning and the hit detection become extremely unreliable. While hitscan weapons are still ok, projectile weapons like flamethrower an Rockets are very hard to aim and hit even if I have a very low ping. I don't know if this happens in other hsp servers, but I'm sure #4 has this problem.
I also suggest to add "nominate" command to the server, as most of the time maps we want to play are not on the list and we just keep playing certain maps like goldrush, badwater and upward.

Should be able to do it now.
I accidentally set the permission to owner only sosad.
