SourceOP - A Half-Life 2 Plugin

mp_teststalemate Plugin Updated

I have updated the mp_teststalemate plugin to work with the latest version of TF2. You can find it in the downloads section.

PLR updated to work with DEP

I've updated the Windows PLR to work with DEP enabled. You can get version 1.2.1 in the downloads section.

Player Limit Remover Plugin Updated

I have updated the Player Limit Remover plugin for Orange Box games. It now bypasses the master server delisting. Get it here:

Get Your Reserved Slot

It is now possible to get a reserved slot on all three SourceOP.com TF2 servers. Once you support the SourceOP servers by donating, you will get a reserved slot. Since SourceOP.com is a non-profit organization, the SourceOP servers cannot survive without the support of the community. You can donate by clicking the link below or in the box on the right.

When is my reserved slot activated?
After you have donated, your reserved slot will be activated once the server changes or reloads the map.

How does it work?
After donating, your name and SteamID is entered into a database. When the server changes or reloads the map, it grabs your name and SteamID from the database. Then, your reserved slot will be activated. If you join while the server is full, the server will kick the player who is performing the worst (determined by number of kills and kpd ratio) to make room.

How do I use my reserved slot?

Start TF2
Enable the console
Open the console by pushing the ~ key.
Connect to the server using the connect command.
To connect to the valve maps server, type:
  connect 74.54.24.194

To connect to the instant respawn 2fort server, type:
  connect 74.54.24.200

To connect to the 26 player 2fort server, type:
  connect 74.54.24.198

Why do I have to use the console?
If you try using the Steam server browser to connect and the server is full it will wait until a slot is open before trying to connect. This is why you must type the connect command manually.

Reserved Slots

I am working on a reserved slot system for the three TF2 servers. Since the servers are 32 players (and I don't want to lower it) the system I have created is not like the normal reserve slot system. It's complicated, but it works.

If you would like a slot on these servers, stay tuned for more information coming soon.

News

I'm working on getting SourceOP 100% working with TF2. It's almost there. I think only one or two minor things aren't working. When I feel it is ready, I will release it. Also, I am hosting the following TF2 servers:

74.54.24.194:27015 SourceOP.com Team Fortress 2 [VALVE MAPS] [NO MODS]   32 players
74.54.24.198:27015 SourceOP.com TF2 24/7 2fort [NO MODS] [NO BS]   26 players
74.54.24.200:27015 SourceOP.com TF2 24/7 2fort [INSTANT RESPAWN]   32 players

SourceOP Downloads Available

The SourceOP downloads are now available. Visit the Downloads page to get them. See the SourceOP wiki for help. Visit the SourceOP foums if you have any questions. For help installing, see the Installing page on the wiki.

Release today

I still plan on releasing today. I've been trying to make sure everything works OK with Fortress Forever. It's not perfect, but it's mostly working. Please report any bugs either on the bug wiki page or the bug forum. Besides a few issues with Fortress Forever, it should be working perfectly in HL2 Deathmatch, CSS, or DOD. My Half-Life 2 Deathmatcher server that runs SourceOP hasn't crashed since 7/24/2007 (and I fixed the bug that caused that crash) so that should suggest that it is pretty stable.
