I lördags så skulle maskinen uppgraderas med en SSD disk och nytt operativsystem.
Men tyvärr så vägrade servern starta efter att hårdvaran var monterad - några kondensatorer på moderkortet hade svällt & spruckit.
Idag har vi fått ihop de nya delarna och installerat färdigt.
Servern har nu sina 3 day of defeat:source servrar rullande och vi hoppas att vi nu klarar de kommande uppdateringarna från Valve software.

En stor uppdatering som har ny spelmotor, ny bana och nya ljud bl.a.

Version 1.0.4.4

Hey Everyone,

There are a few big changes in today's update that we wanted to highlight.

We are adding our new map, dow_foy, into the rotation. The map isn't finished yet so still contains some placeholder assets and lacks final detail. Foy is an attack and defend detonation style map that was designed to accommodate larger battles.

We look forward to getting your reactions and input on the map/style, and suggestions for improvements.


We will be providing an update on the map editor rollout soon and be releasing more details/previews in the coming weeks for our next map, dow_italy.


We've finished the rewrite of our weapon code, which has allowed us to make some long awaited fixes like the ability to cancel reloads and ADS animations, add a jump fire penalty, and fire while transitioning to crouch and prone. It has also fixed a bunch of legacy bugs and hitches in the gun system many of you have reported.

Overall this system is much more reliable and will be easier for us to modify and maintain going forward. We have taken the opportunity to make some changes in the weapon balance, namely in recoil and weapon spread (not damage). These include gun specific changes, and sweeping changes to how things like how iron sights handle. Overall, the gunplay should feel more fluid and responsive.

The weapon system is the first half of our planned gameplay mechanic updates, with the other half being animations and movement. The movement systems are nearly complete and will be entering internal testing soon.


Our sound designer has reworked every gun's 1p firing sounds and added some small foley like shell casing drop sounds. The new sounds are a lot beefier and make the guns feel like they have more consequence to them. The next sound update will focus on updating all the 3p sounds to match and improving spacialization.


We have moved the entire project to Unreal 4.15   [www.unrealengine.com] because we were very excited to test the new under the hood optimizations as soon as we could. Updating engine versions often requires some significant work on our end but always comes with some unexpected improvements.


Lastly we made some updates to how servers are displayed in the browser that should solve some of the issues with servers displaying.


Please find the complete 1.0.4.4 changelog below:

Maps
•   Added initial version of Foy to rotation
•   Added new route to German 2nd flag in Kaysersberg
•   Visibility tweaks for Kaysersberg
•   Fixes to prevent boats from going off course on Omaha
•   Patched up player reported exploits in all maps

Gameplay
•   Implemented new weapon system to increase fluidity and reliability (rewrite of all underlying code that drives firing, reloading, switching, targeting, grenades, ammo, etc.)
•   Decreased weapon recoil for all weapons
•   Reduced recoil when crouching and prone
•   Reduced CoF on Assault class
•   Reduced randomness in Support recoil
•   You can now fire while going prone and moving while prone
•   Added jump accuracy penalty

Sounds
•   New 1p firing sounds for all guns
•   New bullet casing foley
•   Added German VO for objectives

Bugs
•   Fixed positioning of muzzle flashes and casing ejections
•   Changed default server return values

Engine
•   Updated engine to UE4.15

---

Idag är LoyalGames #1 till #3 ominstallerade & uppgraderade.

• Nytt Operativsystem
• Ny hårddisk - ssd

Förhoppningsvis så klarar denna server nu den kommande TF2 uppdateringen som kräver nyare mjukvara.
Dessutom ska nu servern vara betydligt snabbare när det gäller map byten och annat då den nu läser disken snabbare & dessutom skriver loggar mm mycket snabbare.
Om det går riktigt bra så kanske man kan använda alla kärnorna till spelservrar (nu använder operativsystemet 1 kärna).

Om det är några problem så tjoa till!

---

Valve har varnat om en kommande stor uppdatering som ändrar deras motor till en nyare version av mjukvara.
Våra maskiners OS är då inte kompatibla utan vi kommer att behöva ominstallera alla.

Självfallet så hoppas vi vara uppgraderade när uppdateringen kommer - men vi vet inte när.

Hey everyone,

Following up on the warning email we sent a long while back, we're
making good on our promise and changing our build toolchains for the
TF2+SDK2013 games' dedicated server.  TF2 is being updated first, with
the other SDK2013 games to follow.

There are two things that may affect server administrators that you
should be aware of:


*The Linux dedicated server now targets the Steam Runtime*

The Steam Runtime is a common runtime target based on Ubuntu.  For
srcds, this largely means linking against a more recent glibc than may
be available in some server distributions.  Administrators should check
that the provided beta still runs in their environment of choice.  Those
who are on older or incompatible distributions have several options:

- Switch to a distribution more compatible with the Steam Runtime, such
as Ubuntu LTS

- Make use of a chroot/container/VM environment to run srcds.  The tools
linked below include a script for creating a chroot that can be used for
bootstrapping Steam Runtime environments.

- Use the Steam Runtime tools linked below combined with some dynamic
linker magic to use the runtime libraries on an incompatible
distribution, e.g.:

    steamrt=/path/to/runtime
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="bin:$steamrt/usr/lib32"
    LD="$steamrt/usr/lib32/ld-linux.so.2"
    "$LD" ./srcds_linux "$@"

More information about the Steam Runtime and utilities for obtaining it
can be found here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime

*
*

*The compiler toolchain used for all editions of srcds has changed*

Along with the client builds, all server builds have been updated to a
newer compiler.  Windows builds now use the MSVC2015 tools, while Linux
builds now use a newer edition of GCC with differing command-line
parameters that affect codegen.

This is expected to break mods that expect certain ABI behaviors or look
for certain signatures in order to hook functions (such as SourceMod).
We have separately spoken with the SourceMod team and they are working
on supporting the new setup.  Maintainers of other mods should test them
against the beta release below.

Our previous warning also indicated that this would change the _srv
naming of the linux binaries.  We have decided *not* to adjust this, and
the separate _srv build and naming remains unchanged.


*Beta*

We've made a beta branch available for TF2 with these new changes.  The
remaining SDK2013 games will be updated in the near future, and we will
provide a beta for them at that time.

The beta is compatible with the current TF2 public release - servers may
safely convert to it and continue serving both beta and non-beta clients.

The beta branch is titled "toolchainbeta" with no required password.  It
can be accessed with SteamCMD via:

    app_update 232250 -beta toolchainbeta

These changes may be promoted to an official release of TF2 as soon as
next week, so we encourage all server administrators to test their setup
against the beta before then.


Let me know if you have any questions or concerns

- John

New Map Preview: Rhineland

18 maj är den planerad att släppas!



In March 1945, Allied soldiers had pushed all the way through France to the German border. They crossed the Rhine river and surged into the German industrial heartland to fight for two more months until VE Day. This sets the stage for our newest map, Rhineland, created by JakHalz and placed second in our Gamebanana & Mapcore DOI Mapping Contest. American troops must sweep and clear tank factories being defended by hardliner troops.

Rhineland will be released in our upcoming Aussie Update on Thursday May 18th. We are livestreaming an update preview on our official Twitch channel on Sunday at 12pm EST. Check out some gameplay highlights from a Cooperative match of Stronghold, and in-game screenshots and photo spheres below! You can view more photo spheres on our official Sketchfab page.

Day of Infamy does justice to the classic WWII mod that inspired it

By Tyler Wilde 27mars 2017.
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat are felt hard in this multiplayer WWII shooter.

Day of Infamy, a standalone WWII rework of modern combat game Insurgency, is worthy of the 'Day of' moniker—which in this case references Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor speech, but also tips its hat to the classic Half-Life mod and eventual standalone game Day of Defeat. It's what I probably imagined Day of Defeat would like in the future, back when I was staying up all night playing it in the early 2000s.

For a more modern comparison, because Day of Infamy does play differently than its DoD cousin, it's pulling me in like the launches of Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm did. It shares a lot with those games—friendly-fire and officers who can call in airstrikes, for instance—but with simpler weapons and tighter, blockier Source Engine maps, striking a balance between Red Orchestra’s ‘you can manually bolt your rifle’ authenticity and the action of classics like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. It's nice to hear the ping of an M1 Garand again.

    I heard every clang as he trudged around the building looking for the holdout keeping the point secure.

At one point, hunched in the corner of a crumbling apartment with a bolt-action rifle, I listened as metallic footsteps approached and faded away and approached again. I didn't dare hit Tab to see who was alive, but suspected I may be among only two or three still-breathing teammates, while the others waited to spawn in a new wave of reinforcements—it gave me those late game Counter-Strike nerves, when you know your whole team is watching your last stand.

My stalker could have hit Alt to creep, silencing his footsteps, but I heard every clang as he trudged around the building looking for the holdout keeping the point secure. Then, a cloud of flames erupted through a doorway to my right. The flamethrower's burning tip appeared through the door first, the hunter followed and turned to his left where I was crouched in a kitchen, and I shot him in the chest. (Damn campers.)

Had I missed, I'd have been charcoal, and as it turned out, we would've lost. That level of pressure has been rare in Day of Infamy so far—I've played about five hours—as wins tend to be more decisive. But I did witness one match come down to a knife fight, and another end with half of a team hunting down just one guy from my side. Watching from the dead ranks, we cheered him on as he evaded like experienced prey, darting through buildings, doubling back, eventually falling to a burst of machinegun fire.

Above: Ultrawide support makes me happy.
Smoke and errors

Outside of those arena shooter-like standoffs, success in Day of Infamy is half planning, half execution. The most frustrating moments (outside of being blown up by a plane in my spawn) occur when I get the former part right, but flub the follow-through. I suspect a troop of reinforcements will jog down an alley to the right, for example, but I'm a second too late deploying my machinegun's tripod and what would've been four easy kills ends in waiting 25 seconds for another respawn wave.

But as ABC's Wide World of Sports reminds us, the thrill of victory must contrast with the agony of defeat. In my first properly good match, which put me in the upper third of the scoreboard, I found a perfect spot to cozy up with my machinegun sights, wasting the better part of two waves as they sprinted between buildings—even hitting some through smoke cover.

One minor detail unexpectedly boosts the thrill of Day of Infamy: you can't see your K/D ratio while alive. You aren't meant to know whether or not you just winged someone, or if spraying through clouds of dust and smoke had any effect, until you're between lives. If you can’t see a body—which is often, with how much smoke is used—the only way to know your target isn’t aiming back at you is to go look (or get shot). Several times I took a long shot with a bolt-action rifle, but had no idea if I hit the mark until I opened the scoreboard later while waiting to spawn. The delay only makes it more gratifying to learn that an unlikely shot was on target. The little number by your name is so tiny, even it can’t seem to believe that you ticked it up with that shot.

I only wish talking to my team were more fun so far. The built-in voice chat works well, but last night it was dominated by a few witless sacks of head cheese spewing racial slurs as they tried extremely hard to be seen as brave provocateur scamps. No one wanted to talk to the racist tryhards, so for the most part, no one else talked.

It’s possible I was just unlucky to end up in that group, and muting players mitigates the problem, but it was a disappointing first impression of the community. When I do find a team that’s communicating in a fun way, calling out enemy locations and coordinating attacks—which also happened, briefly—Day of Infamy can absorb hours just as well as Day of Defeat did back when I was in high school.

DRIVEN ARTS har släppt en rejäl fix till DoW innehållande följande, och de förvarnar om en uppdatering kommande vecka som löser ett flertal större problem.

Hey Everyone,

It's been a couple weeks since our last update and we appreciate your ongoing patience in the Early Access period.

We've been a bit silent for a few reasons: we've been building the foundations of some new features that will take several months to develop, we've had some team members leaving their jobs to work full time on DoW, and we've been cleaning up a lot of the issues with the new weapon system, map exploits, etc.

This update largely focused on improving weapon sound spatialization and fixing a host of weapon system bugs, see detailed notes below.

In our April dev update next week we will detail progress made with our v2 animations, new maps, the rollout of the community map editor, fixing the server browser issues, the new voice command feature, and more.

We know that there have been some players out there who have been exploiting bugs consistently with the sole goal of ruining others experience. We have patched these exploits and banned the offenders and have also created a #report_cheaters_with_evidence channel in our discord to report griefers and cheaters.



Read on for full patch notes

Gameplay
•   Added deathcam
•   Adjusted uniform colors and brightness for better enemy visibility (also made the Germans less green)

DOI Map Contest Winners

The judges from New World have selected the winners of the Gamebanana & Mapcore DOI Mapping Contest, sponsored by Corsair. Congratulations to all finalists, as it was a close finish and required multiple playtests to ensure we discovered the essence of each map. We have assembled a countdown trailer (see above) to announce the winners and to demonstrate their environments and gameplay.

Vi kommer se till att alla dessa banor finns på vår "TheSwedes Day of Infamy Server"
Vinnaren finns sedan länge där och de andra kommer.

We have a new plugin on our TF2-servers (#1, #2 & #3)

Allows players to change their size (or just their head)! Big Spy? Tiny Terrorist? The choice is yours - if your an admin for now.

Plugin link

    sm_resize [#userid|name] [scale] [time in seconds] | Allows an admin to target multiple players. | Default Flag: CHEATS (N)
    sm_resizeme | Toggles ones size between normal and the default scale, or uses a menu if the necessary ConVar is set. | Default Flag: GENERIC (B)

 -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
I think its a quite fun plugin, as long as players dont get to small (hard to shoot) and I dont mind getting shot easy as long as its fun.

But maybe we should make some easy rules how it should be used.
 - is 0,4 a good small size?
 - does the damage change if you are smaller? - its set for that if its working..
 - should the sm_resizeme be public?

I have 3 versions of the plugin:
 - the first one does open a menu to choose from.
 - the other does only make tiny (0.4 size) if I understand it..
