Fix HL1 VAC Status In Live Server Stats On Psycho Stats 3.1

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I was having a problem with PS31′s Live Server Stats due to the fact that it’s not reporting VAC Secured HL1 servers as secure.

Thanks to [MUPPETS] Gonzo in the Psycho Stats forum, I was able to fix it! All you need is to edit a file. Here’s the steps that I did.

Go to includes/PQ/halflife.php. Open it and go to line 197. Then add the following line.

$this->data['serversecure']     = $this->_getbyte();.

Save and reload your page.

It should show the correct VAC status now.

Catching Up With PGN

As soon as I check my e-mail this morning, I saw a ‘Branzone’ e-mail. It was about the Zombie Mod server taking too much resources and they asked me to take it down and choose a different mod. Since they’re the ones providing the server for free…all I could do is say yes to them. I don’t mind it at all don’t get me wrong, Branzone is awesome man…they’re one of the best.

Making NVIDIA Drivers Work In Fedora 9 x86_64

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

So I recently took the plunged to Fedora 9 (I did it a lot earlier than this post but I was a bit lazy to fix my problems). As you all know, Fedora 9 ships out with the latest and somewhat greatest right? It’s the bleeding edge for god’s sake. Anyway, Fedora shipped out with the latest X11 and for the first couple of weeks the NVIDIA drivers didn’t quite support it yet. Even with the 173.08 drivers from NVIDIA didn’t work well with it and there has been a couple of articles written to make it work in 2D…well I’m glad that with their latest 173.14, it totally works!
