first, it's nothing but a bitch fest there, but it is a thread complaining about custom servers on the internet tab. they also say that reduced respawn is "custom".

can't seem to find anything official that makes it either stock or custom. and not sure if maps are considered "custom".

Maps do not put you in the custom tab.

Also if you take anything those morons say as fact, you're a moron as well.

ty for pointing that out

submitted a query to valve support to see if we were delisted or not

So you just admitted that we were doing something they didn't want? Now we're going to be blacklisted for sure, good job.

PLIZ explain

1. i didnt include any information about myself nor the server in the query, so they can have fun connecting me to the dc server
2. i made it clear that we fixed the server so that it doesnt get any tabs, and want to be relisted
3. they must have delisted us in the first place since we wouldnt just disappear for no reason

and nn being so angry all the time, this shits just as much mine as it is yours

Not angry, just frustrated with it all that's why I haven't messed with it the last couple days.

i know that, thats why me and joe have been trying to do more of the work since you said you were tired of working on it
i added josh's steamid to the protected clan tag list, does that requires a restart? and for the things that do, what exactly do you have to do to make the server restart?

plus you have done more than your fair share.

and I think John (damn it I think it's with an H right? ) and I just want to figure out some of the basics so we can maintain it as we go. this is all of ours and it should not be your responsibility to have to do all of it because we don't know how.

shitty we don't show up on tabs. hope by tomorrow we will and we can get some faggot "vanilla server" seekers.

a custom server would totally change the gameplay

like counterstrike source has zombie mod

You restart at the second screen after logging in (when you select the server in game servers). You only have to restart when you change the server's main cfg file, when you edit a Beetle's Mod cfg, it only requires a map change or two.

Also, DO NOT touch anything Metamod or Sourcemod or we'll be in a world of shit with conflicts.

after logging in to what? and i havent done anything but beetlesmod changes so far so wont need to restart

User Home > Game Servers > TF2 32 Slots

It says STOP and RESTART in green.

thats on darkstars site? i all the places to go for this stuff, ive only been on the ftp so far

Yes, nn ftp other than for uploading.

Joe,

I have not heard of anyone being blacklisted yet. I am starting to think it may have just been a scare tactic. Not to sure on it though. Right now if you are unable to see your server on either tab, it is probably because it needs to be updated. TF2 released an update the other day that is required, and if you aren't running the latest version your server will not show on the server browser. If you wanted to attempt clearing the sv_tags on your server I will have to say it would be on your own accord. Just since its directly going against what valve has written, I don't feel that we can support it. While we won't be able to stop you from doing it, it could possibly put us in a bad situation if we support it. Please let us know if you have any further questions. If you would like us to set your server back to 32 slots, just let us know and we will get that done for you.


As far as those emails, that basically means that something is crashing your server. Once your server crashes our system is catching it and restarting it. Then it sends out that email just as a reminder saying, "Hey, your server crashed you should probably check into it". If this only happens maybe once a week it wouldn't be anything to worry about. If you start getting them regularly, you may want to check into it. I see your running Beetlesmod as well as MetaMod:Source and source mod. These mods could be conflicting and causing the problem. I would suggest picking one and staying with it.

pretty down to earth support

so far I really like them. They talk like a human to me and seem nothing but helpful.

The way I set up the mods they shouldn't conflict, SourceMod/MetaMod are only controlling HLstatsX.

I know

just posting their replies.
