Download permissions changed [Posted by Koron on 06/28/2005 @ 02:24:27 AM EST]
Direct links to files hosted by TFFF have been disabled. The direct links were making it difficult to accurately track downloads (for statistics purposes).
Despite this, please feel free to use the download links (download.php) to share files with your friends. This allows me to track the downloads while sending the files to users in a manner that should seem identical to before.
Please contact me if you run into any problems.Links simplified [Posted by Koron on 06/01/2005 @ 02:06:26 AM EST]
All file links have been greatly simplified. I managed to remove unneeded information in the URLs for the file detail pages; all of these pages can now be accessed by simply using their fileids. The old method will work for the time being, but it is now considered deprecated. New file added [Posted by Koron on 01/26/2005 @ 11:51:42 PM EST]
It's been quite some time since someone decided to submit a file; but those that do still still get their files posted.
I may look into creating a more automated form, but if you are a map author and would like your map added, please follow the instructions on the "Contact" page. File listings working again [Posted by Koron on 06/16/2004 @ 10:13:49 AM EST]
The way that the site determines file sizes is rather clumsy; it logs in via FTP each time a page loads and fetches the file size. The FTP login info changed, leading to the extremely long page loads (and sometimes time outs).
The problem is temporarily fixed with the new info. I will look into whipping up some code to fetch the file sizes just once and store them in the database. Steam HLDS Server Update [Posted by Koron on 09/11/2003 @ 11:09:34 AM EST]
The files for the HLDS server update to Steam have been released. The client should follow soon. Call for files [Posted by Koron on 05/28/2003 @ 12:48:01 PM EST]
There seems to be a standstill in submissions to this site. I am particularly interested in putting up new maps. If you have a new map, or know of someone with one, please submit it. Details for submissions are on the Contact page. New HLDS [Posted by Koron on 05/05/2003 @ 03:39:56 PM EST]
The x.1.1.1 Half-Life dedicated server has been released.
Links can be found on the Essentials - Server page.
Changes/Additions
- Added support for new VALVe CD key system (uses outgoing UDP on port 27040).
- Added new GUI for Win32 dedicated server. The new GUI is used as the default interface. To start a dedicated server using the old console window, add "-console" to your command line.
- Changed so server.cfg is only executed once during server startup (not during every level change).
- Changed default network rate to match max rate allowed (went from 9999 to 20000), for LAN servers.
- Changed to use "\valve\valvecomm.lst".
- HLTV: New load balancing system.
- HLTV: Added client banning.
- HLTV: New administration commands: players, maxqueries, maxrate, bann, dispatchmode, publicgame, forcemaster, echo (see HLTV-Readme.txt)
- HLTV: Removed -bufferlength parameter.
- HLTV: Updated HLTV-Readme.txt file.
- HLTV: Updated hltv.cfg file.
New CVARS:
- Added two new logaddress commands to the engine
- "logaddress_add " adds a new log address to the send list
- "logaddress_del " removes an existing entry from the send list
- Added "sv_log_onefile <0:1>" (default: 0) to determine whether one log file is created (total) or one log file for each map change, which is how it currently is. The default is the current behavior (one for each map change).
- Added "sv_log_singleplayer <0:1>" (default: 0) to create a log file for single player games. The default is off, which is the current behavior.
- Added "stats" command to view the data collected by "sv_stats".
- Added "sv_stats <0:1>" (default: 1) which determines whether or not to collect server stats (%CPU used, FPS, bandwidth's, etc.) from the server. (0 = off, 1 = on). Determining CPU usage takes a nontrivial amount of time, and needs to be done once per second (or so).
- Added "motd" command to view the MOTD in the server console.
- Added "motd_write " command to write the given text to the motd.txt file. The character string "\n" is translated into newlines.
- Added rate limiting code to Out-Of-Band queries (i.e. players, info).
- "max_queries_sec " (default: 0.5) defines max queries per second per user (averaged over max_queries_window)
- "max_queries_sec_global " (default: 10) defines max queries per second for all queries
- "max_queries_window " (default: 30) defines time window to average query rates over
- "sv_logblocks" (default: 0, 0=off, 1=on) logs which IP addresses have been blocked by this code
- Linux: Added "-tos" command line parameter to linux hlds binary. This enables the LOWDELAY TOS header in the udp/ip packets the server generates.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed "sv_visiblemaxplayers" setting not working for info/details query response.
- Fixed the problem with running multiple servers on the same machine and having them communicate properly with the Ban Master server. Servers now communicate with the Ban Master server on the server's game port (default is 27015).
- Fixed the Counter-Strike flashbang bug where the grenade would not always flash all of the players.
- Fixed the Counter-Strike server crash bug where players could buy items/weapons while using the "kill" command to drop them on the ground for other players to pickup.
- Fixed remote exploit bugs (Security Advisory VSA0304)
- HLTV: Fixed RCON.
- HLTV: Fixed status query handling.
- HLTV: Fixed missing player voices. Submit your files! [Posted by Koron on 03/25/2003 @ 11:59:54 PM EST]
I'm not getting many file submissions. Please read the guidelines on the Contact page and send me your maps and customizations (or other files if you feel that they should be on this site).
Thanks! New milestone [Posted by Koron on 02/04/2003 @ 08:55:24 PM EST]
I just added the 1000th TFC map to the site. TFFF has one of the most comprehensive TFC map databases, and any map you're looking for can be found with the easy to use search feature or you can sort by different fields. Site back and running [Posted by Koron on 01/22/2003 @ 03:02:14 PM EST]
The server that this site is hosted on has been having some problems over the past few days, hopefully that's behind us now. Someone alerted me to the fact that I really screwed up part of the coding for this site so that you weren't able to download files. This issue has now been corrected. Enjoy the site. |
