Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
To get our minds off of the tsunami a bit (plus I kinda sorta already planned this beforehand) I treated my father to a bit of TF2 tonight. He’s a n00b at it so I setup bots on our dedicated server. He’s still learning but he did alright, him and I even got some achievements!
I’ll be playing more TF2 over the next several days. I’d like to get more practice in myself.
noip was being a dick again… You should be able to access it again.

Last night I was in a middle of The Sacrifice in Left 4 Dead 2 when all of a sudden my game locks up, followed by a black screen. When I came back in I had to verify my RAID. It rebuilt itself without fail but I’ll have to keep an eye on it…
On the bright side I went downstairs and watched the rest of the game unfold via the server console. It seems an asshat took my place because everyone started shooting each other. So I issued a threat over console and suddenly there were crickets…
It monitors asshats trying to rcon hack the server. I just looked at my server logs and found a person from Russia with 2 steam accounts tried to rcon hack the TF2 and TF2 beta server (one account per server with the same IP address).
Copied both Steam ID’s to every ban_user.cfg for each server.
Fixing the server turned out to be less painful than expected. All I had to do was turn sv_password.
That’ll work until Valve fucks it up again.
Update
While it does allow me to create a lobby now, it doesn’t make it public despite setting it that way. Looks like I’m not out of the woods just yet…
Probably won’t be spotted much tonight. I have an early Sunday. Would have posted something last night but was too tired.
On another topic I see valve has broken my L4D2 server (yet again). Once again I am no longer able to make a lobby with it. The first time this happened was because we added our IP address to the run line, then it was because we weren’t using 27015, now I have no idea what the fuck it is. Looks like tomorrow night I’ll have my work cut out for me.
