In the midst of the talk about release dates for the coming versions of CS/HL, Erik Johnson of VALVe has posted the change-list for HL 1.1.1.0. While all the changes seem useful, it looks like this release is more about consolidating and adding to the changes of 1.1.0.9 than adding anything brand new. The VALVe anti-cheat is to be implemented in a much more effective manner so cheaters beware.
- Changes/Additions:
- Ricochet included in this release.
- Added logging of the anti-cheat system catching and kicking detected cheats.
- Added logging of "kick" commands.
- Added logging of "banid" commands.
- Changed error message if clients try to download missing resources to be more helpful.
- Added new debug message for mod makers if a packet couldn't be parsed correctly.
- Linux: hlds_run now does auto-restart by default (to disable: define "-norestart" on the command line)
- Linux: hlds_run uses "exec" when you define the "-norestart" option.
- Linux: Added -pingboost command line parameter. Currently supports three different methods ('-pingboost 1', '-pingboost 2', and 'pingboost 3'). These may not work well (or at all) on some OS environments.
- Linux: Added "-debug" flag to hlds_run to automatically run gdb and pull out useful info.
