wrench in the pipe

25 May, 2013 - Renegade | 0 Comments

Valve's new distribution system, SteamPipe, has thrown a wrench in the works for many games, tools, and mods working with Steam. This includes HLDJ. After letting the dust settle a bit after the first few updates, and Valve moving the first few games over to the new system, it's become clearer what the changes bring:

a new filesystem structure (VPK)
a new way of specifying search paths

HLDJ will continue to function as normal, although you need to re-add your games or find where they've been moved to. Pending a few updates, and once the new system is stabilized, HLDJ will try to take advantage of the new features in pipe.

In fix-one-thing-break-another style, the latest update (http://hldj.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1079) to the Source engine introduces the new higher-quality SILK voice codec (as used in Steam voice) but also disrupts the default functionality of HLDJ on most servers. The new codec is enabled by default via the sv_use_steam_voice console variable and has the unsavoury side-affect of disabling the use of voice_inputfromfile which is needed by HLDJ to play audio. Unlike a past update which introduced the sv_allow_voice_from_file cvar for some Source games and was opt-in (no effect on default functionality), the new sv_use_steam_voice cvar applies to most Source games and is opt-out, meaning server operators must explicitly disable it in order to have their servers return to normal. If you're a server operator and would like to continue using HLDJ on your server, disable the new codec by setting sv_use_steam_voice 0. If you play on a server where HLDJ is an integral part of the fun, remind your server operator to do the same!
