Yep sv_search_key keeps your server private for ready use of lobby joiners who have the key for that server in the config or used in console.
You cant have it open for public lobby use becasue then you cant be sure the people who have a key would be able to join a free server. Other wise they would have to wait for the server to become empty and able to join it. if you have lots of servers then you might want to open a few for public use and on the busy times cron them back to key'd server for private use. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
