I wanted to make a line of emails just about this topic. I might be doing something wrong, and I hope you guys can help me out on this, but.....our server is all custom maps.
We have a lot of maps that are very popular.....in moderation. It seems that they don't play by the sv_timelimit rules. We get to the point where a map can go on for hours and never stop until an admin gets on a runs a vote. Is there anything I can do to get these maps to play by the rules? We have suddendeath on as well in the server, but that doesn't make any difference either. Just goes on forever. Thanks for the help.

What are the chances of us getting back the mp_teststalemate cvar so that server operators can invoke suddendeath when needed on some of these unpolished custom maps? Thanks for the good news, please keep it coming, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put back mp_teststalemate Take care, Prez On Feb 13, 2008 6:17 PM, Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sounds a bit like re-inventing the wheel to me. > > Hostnames are far more easy to remember and more customizable then... > > STEAM_0:SERVER:37984729847 > > "sv_domain" "tf.voogru.net" > > if(strlen(sv_domain.value) > 0) > use_domain_name_instead_of_ip_kthx; > > On top of that, I don't think it would take more than an hour to > implement. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Grimm > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 7:59 PM > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Tags Coming Soon > > Alfred told me, that they are already working on it.
