TF2 - SteamPipe - sv_pure 2

Post by cold-- »

Re: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source ... issues/216

Hello,

I'm a community staff member for TF2's biggest competitive league, UGC. Our matches require that server operators run sv_pure 2. We've noticed that TF2 servers now default to sv_pure "0" and cannot be changed through a config because of its new behavior (see the link above). However, servers can have their sv_pure status changed through the startup command line "-sv_pure 2" and server operators can lower the status after the server has started.

How can I start my server with custom startup commands?

The NFO staff were discussing what to do about that situation, and will likely add an option to the control panel for it. For now, just throw in a support ticket and they can get it changed for you.

OK thank you. As you may or may not know, the league I work with has hundreds of teams. Most in North America. I'm about to make a news post very soon and this could effect traffic to NFO's support team. I don't want to flood them with support tickets if they can work out a solution soon and avoid a lot of work.

I will hold off as long as I can before making a news post on "How to set sv_pure 2" as long as I can. If anything changes with the NFO Control Panel, please PM me so I can spread the news throughout the TF2-sphere.

Thanks again.

The option to set +sv_pure 1 on the command line has now been added to the "Server control" page.

After adjusting this, you can bump it up to 2 through the autoexec.cfg -- just put "sv_pure 2" at the top of it.

(I may improve this to have a selector with all of the numbers later on, but I wanted to get a quick fix in place for you.)

Thank you for the quick response! I appreciate your efforts very much. I will post a tutorial on how to do this through the Control Panel through our website, which I hope will alleviate any support traffic.

Thanks again.
