  • Half-Life 1 Dedicated Server Update Released (May 16, 2013)


    0 Not allowed! Not allowed!
    Time to party like it's 1999 as Valve has just released a new update to the Half-Life 1 dedicated server. This obviously affects games such as Counter-Strike 1.6, Half-Life, and other GoldSrc based titles.

    The update is optional but is strongly recommended since it fixes a lot of stuff across the board.

    Changelogs for Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6
    Half-Life
    - Added "con_mono" convar, when set to 1 a monospaced font is used in the console. When toggling this value you must restart the game for it to take effect.
    - Fixed dedicated server logs so they don't go into _addon or _download folders by mistake
    - Fixed game directory not being set correctly under Mac OS X or Linux
    - Fixed music tracks to correctly play across level change and to not stop (or restart) at unexpected times
    - Clamped health values to fix display issues when it dropped below 1 or above 255
    - Draw the "Paused" message when you pause the game
    - Fixed custom game menus (like ones displayed by AMXModX) not rendering correctly
    - Updated sound track to 44kHz, 128kbit MP3 for better listening experience
    - Fixed test microphone button not working
    - Updated SDL drop, fixes some mouse input issues
    - Fixed 3rd party mods that use the base Half-Life 1 client.dll having bad mouse input behavior
    - Fixed view jumping when coming in and our of VGUI1 menus under Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic and DeathMatch Classic

    Counter-Strike 1.6
    - Fixed dedicated server logs so they don't go into _addon or _download folders by mistake
    - Fixed crash due to pointer double free in Counter-Strike 1.6
    - Fixed console spam if a user connected with a particularly malformed UTF-8 name
    - Fixed "bomb has been dropped" message staying on the screen
    - Made keypad Enter key work for MOTD, team and class menus
    - Clamped health values to fix display issues when it dropped below 1 or above 255
    - Fixed non-latin names being corrupted in voice labels
    - Fixed HTML form control elements not rendering correctly in the MOTD
    - Fix the snapshot command in the software mode renderer, and change the screenshot command in the software renderer to produce TGA files
    - Fixed test microphone button not working correctly
    - Fixed crash in demoplayer when using invalid time offsets
    - Fixed crash when spamming grenades while having the M3 purchased
    - Fixed buy menu not working with shortcut keys if caps lock was enabled

    Server admins can get this update by running steamcmd with app 90 (ex: steamcmd +logon anonymous +force_install_dir ..\hlds +app_set_config 90 mod czero +app_update 90 +quit). Hopefully you know what that means, since I have no idea.
