RageQuitter.net L4D Server Updates

The following servers have been updated:

• RageQuitter.net L4D #1
• RageQuitter.net L4D #2
• RageQuitter.net L4D #3 (CEVO)

Changes include:

1. All servers are now running CEVO cvars by default. This means you are guaranteed to get a tank on every level. Witches do not spawn on the 1st, and 5th levels. Health packs are now converted to pills (with the exception of the ones in the safe room). Tanks will spawn at the same spot for both teams. Tanks will always spawn before the 90% distance mark.
2. Sv_Pure is now set to 2 by default, and not 1. This means that all game content will be required to match that of Steams. This will help reduce the amount of cheating in the servers. Exceptions being that of which you can do in your autoexec.cfg. All other files will need to be original. If a client does not have the original, there is no need to copy the original back, the server will dish you out the correct file for the time of play.
3. Servers now do NOT EXCEPT ANY VAC BAN PLAYERS automatically. If any player has a VAC ban on file, regardless of the Engine, the player will automatically be booted from the server.

Rage Quitter L4D Servers Moving to LA.

I have officially moved our RageQuitter.net L4D #1 public server to LA, and am currenlty in the process of moving server #2. As you may now, those servers were previously hosted in Texas. This change has  changed our server IPs, and decreased ping. I’m finding that I was getting 60-70 ping on the TX servers, and now getting 30-40 ping on the LA servers.

Likewise, each server has been updated with the latest builds of Sourcemod, and I have fixed some issues with plugins. We will be adding additional changes to the server cvars this coming week to include CEVO values to each server.

Why? Because we can. No but seriously, game balancing in versus is a huge issue in my opinion, and changing some values like tank spawn to 100% and spawning in the same spot, is a huge game play issue in my opinion.

Anyways, will keep you updated on when the change is made. So check back often.
