Oops, I guess that link would only work if you're logged into Steam. :( -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael R. Matheson Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 6:36 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch
Oh, if only dedicated servers were simple! I liked the distinction of "switches" using the hyphen and "console commands" requiring the plus. But this "official" guide located in Steam support shows two "switches" as using the plus sign, namely +maxplayers and +map. Although, I also realize that -maxplayers works as well. Does it ultimately come down to trial and error, or are these things clearly listed or explained anywhere? http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp .php?p_faqid=638&p_created=1176949884&p_sid=kLowUZDi&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTE mcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MjAmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B 2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmN oX3RleHQ9c3dpdGNoZXM*&p_li=&p_topview=1 Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Kerswill Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 5:35 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch Hi, I can answer your first question quickly. The - (hyphen) is for command line switches of the dedicated server. Examples: -maxplayers 20 -game cstrike -tickrate 66 -port 27016 You use the + (plus sign) in the command line when you are adding a console command to the command line, in order to execute it immediately on startup. Any console command can be set this way. For example: +sv_lan 1 +hostname "1337 Server" +tv_port 27021 More information: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options Ciao, WildCat. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael R.

Is there any guidance on when a switch should use - or +? Also, I've discovered another problem I can't seem to fix. When running a CSS server with bots, one team always has one more player than the other team. I have max players set to 16. I also have bot_quota set to 16. One team will have 7, the other 8. I have auto team balance set to 1. I've messed around with bot_quota_mode, but don't really understand the difference between "normal", "fill" and "match". What have I missed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan E Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 11:37 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Half-Life 2 Team Deathmatch -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Try putting it in the autoexec.cfg, or using +mp_teamplay 1 instead of - "Michael R.

I'm using the latest official server, nothing beta. I've set up both CSS and HL2DM servers that seem to work well except for one glitch. Whenever I start a team deathmatch server in HL2DM, the first map loads as deathmatch only. Teams do not appear until restarting or changing to the second map. I have "mp_teamplay 1" in my server.cfg file. I even tried adding "-mp_teamplay 1" to the target line of my shortcut. I have noticed two other settings in the server.cfg file. I don't know if these should be changed: "teamserver coop 0" and "deathmatch 1". Can anyone help me eliminate this glitch?
