VALVE UPDATE 22/10/2008 [iNFO , PROBLEMS & SOLUTION!]

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Ok I saw some complains in many forums, I had pms, many people asked me in msn.I didn't know but now I learned some things and I want to write them here.Everyone who has a problem with the client and stuff shall read the whole topic!

 

- The beginning of the "FAIL".

 

We all know that valve has created counter-strike, the favorite game, of all ages.Valve is an organization of people.They are making updates.That was the reason of the yesterday's failure.So...before some hours -in fact at 02:00(GMT+2)- Valve has made an update to counter strike.That update was so fast and we all surprised!We couldn't connect to any server and we blame VALVE for it.

 

- We were a bit wrong.

 

As I said VALVE is a huge company.We can't blame them for a little update.So what they did was that they changed the protocol of the clients so no one could connect to any non-updated server.What was the problem? The servers were not updated and no one could connect because the server had protocol 47 and the client 48.

 

- The solution!

 

The major problem was that.After 4 hours searching in the net, finally the solution came from VALVe.The noob engineers found that they didn't share something (a patch or...) for the poor people.So they shared a new thing which called SteamWorks Beta and can be found and downloaded from the urls I have at the end of this topic.So...download this and try to play again.

 

- The Revolution of Non-Steam!

 

Of course non-steam users have no problems on that.They didn't update their client so they can play in the non-updated servers.When all the servers are updated then a new patch would be released and the non-steam users will have again access to the game.So yes...keep playing free and stay to the pub...we want this! :)

 

- The Update Content

 

Bug Fixes

 

    * Removed the need to manually re-login and re-authenticate to Steam while in game

    * Fixed a crash on startup when running windowed with a non-standard desktop resolution

    * Removed the display of saytext (in-game chat text) from players whom you've blocked in Steam friends

    * Locked down several engine cvars to prevent malicious script exploits

    * Enforced file consistency on several sprites in Counter-Strike

    * Removed "ex_extrapmax" cvar (no longer needed)

 

 

Server

 

    * Added "-noaff" command-line option to disable setting of thread affinity

    * Added "bannedcfg" cvar so admins can choose which file is written to by the "writeid" command

 

And something else.The mwheelup feature for the "Silent Running" works fine and you just have to hit ctrl faster.Aslo the avatars in the scoreboard...I didn't see anything like this in the update... :/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Many of the people complain about the cs:s like new features.I am a part of them.I don't agree about all these stuff and I want cs back.In fact I don't think that VALVE could bring an update back...I really think this is a big fault for a company and they will lose many customers...But...it's their fault.Update shouldn't be there...GO PLAY CS:S if you don't like... :@

 

Anyway I don't want to continue on this...I didn't like the update but I like that I am capable of playing again cs after 10 hours :)

      I connected everything without any problems. Does anyone know why I'm not getting experience for killing mobs? Has anyone encountered this? I'm setting the rates to x300, but it still doesn't give experience or level for killing mobs.

      Christmas is approaching. Let's discuss the Xmas event NPC

      By Kowalskiz · Posted

      I'm using Myext64 HF and recently tried to replicate the "br_xmas09_event" Raising Rudolph Event. Detailed event information can be found at https://legacy-lineage2.com/news/_rudolf_the_red.html After configuring .eventdata.xml and starting the server, t  server log shows: 12/02/2025 15:39:01.809, [NO_ERROR] SpawnEx2 [br_xmas2009_invisible][schuttgart20_npc2213_xs03m1] [1][0][0][0][0][346796390] 12/02/2025 15:39:02.057, DummyPacket received from L2Server 12/02/2025 15:39:02.058, server socket close 312ac(f0820224) error(997) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.058, [CallStack][tid:0][tick:2][0] Begin 12/02/2025 15:39:02.058, [CallStack][tid:0][tick:2][1][0] void __cdecl IOThreadCallback::IOThread_common(void) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.059, [CallStack][tid:0][tick:2][2][1] void IOThread_common 1 12/02/2025 15:39:02.059, [CallStack][tid:0][tick:2][3][2] void __cdecl CIOSocketEx<class CIOBufferEx<16384> >::Close(void) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.059, [CallStack][tid:0][tick:2][4][3] void __cdecl CServerSocket::OnClose(void) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.059, [CallStack][tid:0][tick:2][5] End l2server log: 12/02/2025 15:39:02.112, npc server closed(127.0.0.1) error: 64 read buffer size: (server:0 npc:0) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.112, [NO_ERROR] L2Server is under protection mode!!! 12/02/2025 15:39:02.112, [NO_ERROR] L2Server is under protection mode!!! 12/02/2025 15:39:02.112, [NO_ERROR] L2Server is under protection mode!!! 12/02/2025 15:39:02.131, dwTime[0] < 80 !!!!!!! 12/02/2025 15:39:02.131, [CallStack][tid:7][tick:1][0] Begin 12/02/2025 15:39:02.132, [CallStack][tid:7][tick:1][1][0] void __cdecl IOThreadCallback::IOThread_common(void) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.132, [CallStack][tid:7][tick:1][2][1] void IOThread_common 1 12/02/2025 15:39:02.132, [CallStack][tid:7][tick:1][4][3] void __cdecl NpcSocket::OnClose(void) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.132, [CallStack][tid:7][tick:1][3][2] void __cdecl CIOSocketEx<class CIOBufferEx<16384> >::Close(void) 12/02/2025 15:39:02.132, [CallStack][tid:7][tick:1][5] End 12/02/2025 15:39:31.767, server closed(127.0.0.1) Error: 64 Read buffer size: (server:0 npc:0) 12/02/2025 15:39:31.768, [NO_ERROR] Logout All Characters : 1   The NPC server sent a packet to the L2 server while generating the br_xmas2009_invisible game NPC server, and the NPC server subsequently crashed.     After some digging, I found a clue in a very old MXC post, but the fix was for the GF version. The whole problem is in l2server side support for NPC function CreateOnePrivateNearUser. It sends CreatePacket but Koreans made some changes in it (added instance ID) so it got broken. As Santa event is the only AI that uses this function, they probably don't know about it    So is there a way to fix this problem, specifically for Myext64 HF? I'd be happy to buy him coffee. set_compiler_opt base_event_type(@NTYPE_NPC_EVENT) class ai_br_vital_manager : default_npc { parameter: int br_vitality2010_EVENT_ID = 20108888; handler: EventHandler CREATED() { } EventHandler TALKED(talker) { ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu001.htm"); super; } EventHandler GIVE_EVENT_DATA(talker, i0, i1, i2, i3, i4) { i3 = i2 / 3600; i2 = i2 - i3 * 3600; i4 = i2 / 60; i2 = i2 - i4 * 60; if (i1 == 20108888) { if (i0 == 1) { CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_br_vitality_day_1); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_br_vitality_day_2); ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu002.htm"); } else { ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu003.htm"); } } } EventHandler MENU_SELECTED(talker, ask, reply, c0) { if (ask == 50021) { select (reply) { case 1: CanGiveEventData(talker, 20108888); break; case 2: if (talker.level <= 75) { ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu005.htm"); } else if (IsInCategory(@fighter_group, talker.occupation)) { CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_wind_walk_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_shield_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_magic_barrier_for_adventurer); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_bless_the_body_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_vampiric_rage_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_regeneration_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_haste_for_adventurer); ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu006.htm"); } else if (IsInCategory(@mage_group, talker.occupation)) { CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_wind_walk_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_shield_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_magic_barrier_for_adventurer); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_bless_the_soul_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_acumen_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_concentration_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(talker, @s_empower_for_newbie); ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu007.htm"); } break; case 3: c0 = GetSummon(talker); if (talker.level <= 75) { ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu011.htm"); } else if (IsNullCreature(c0) == 0 && IsInCategory(@summon_npc_group, c0.class_id) && IsInCategory(@pet_group, c0.class_id) == 0) { CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_wind_walk_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_shield_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_magic_barrier_for_adventurer); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_bless_the_body_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_vampiric_rage_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_regeneration_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_bless_the_soul_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_acumen_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_concentration_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_empower_for_newbie); CastBuffForQuestReward(c0, @s_haste_for_adventurer); ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu009.htm"); } else { ShowPage(talker, "br_vi_stevu010.htm"); } break; } } } } Another one is about the " br_vitality2010_event event".   GIVE_EVENT_DATA is likely the only one in the activity AI script that uses this handle.

      How to start learning Java using Lineage 2 as an example?

      By Tryskell · Posted

      Offtopic, personal attacks, probably too old to use that much memes and what's YOUR actual contribution to L2J, in order I laugh aswell ?   The main poster quotes my pack so I answer accordingly, while you advertise L2JFrozen in both of your posts - discontinued since 2014 (? 1132 rev), with none taking back the open source lead while anyone could.   If you're somewhat affiliated to hopzone, you probably packed way more money than me. Packs don't make any type of money (barely 100e/month) and if you would follow me, you would know there are ways to handle it or even getting paid.   Hope I was short enough, 🧂🤡.
