New Half-Life Primary Server

1
The Half-Life patch is just around the corner, in fact the primary server has already been released if you go to ftp://hlserver:hlserver13@ftp.valvesoftware.com and snag it. As for the client update that will hopefully be this Wednesday. Here are the changes:

This update to Half-Life includes the following changes:
- The mod browser now supports .zip file decompression.
- We've added a new feature for server operators called 'TF Stats', which
takes server log files and creates a web page with the results of your TFC
match. TF Stats also gives awards for various feats accomplished during the
game, like the "Swiss Cheese" award for the person with the most kills using
the assault cannon, and the "Kamikaze" award for the player who dies the
most times by his/her own hand. (Refer to \halflife\tfc\manual\TFStats.htm
for instructions.)
- The server now allows banning by WON uniqueid. (Refer to TFCServer.htm
located in your \halflife\tfc\manual folder.)
- We've updated the TFC manual with information about running a TFC server.

    read the post again. im not quite sure what part of \"the primary server has already been released\" made you think the client was.

    you might also want to read the last sentence, the one where it says \"the client will hopefully be this Wednesday\"
