That'd be fine. Right under the VAC message.
'This server is custom and game play may or may not be different'. It's a good excuse to increase the size of that message and perhaps let server operators add a message while they connect to the server. Because we all know people read the MOTDS... - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kitteny Berk Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 11:17 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve, thank you for virtually destroying my TF2 community. I agree with that entirely. Just adding a checkbox (like in the whole Battlefield, CoD and (probably) Quake series of games) would work nicely, it's a method most "hardcore" gamers are used to and one that newer gamers should get used to, because it's the industry standard. Hell, even if valve have to add a "this server is using these rules" thing to the loading screen, that'd be better than tabs I'd personally love to be able to add handy info like "offensivepissheads;custommaps" to my server without getting bumped over to the short bus tab.
