Embedding the ##s works, but then there's a loss of control over the exact ports used. I actually expected that if I did, for example, +hostport 270## and -netconport 280## they'd misalign because of the parent netcon, but 27000 didn't get used as a game port. I did try +hostname "Foo L4D server #00+##" before but it failed. All the servers ended up with just "Foo" for a hostname. It would be nice if the ## syntax were extended so if you ever have digits followed by +## it'd work. Another small issue is that on the parent's netcon, if you enter commands without first giving the password, it doesn't give you the usual "give me the pass, stupid" reply. Finally, there's something a little screwy with the child IDs. This might just be an off by one error somewhere. I had given a shutdown command then saw this: status #status child 0 child 1 <snip> child 9 child 10 pid : 10 map : l4d_dem_hospital02_subway numplayers : 6 child 11 child 12 child 13 pid : 13 map : l4d_dem_hospital02_subway numplayers : 4 child 14 child 15 #end Child 14 aborted with signal 14 status #status child 0 <snip> child 10 pid : 10 map : l4d_dem_hospital02_subway numplayers : 5 child 11 <snip> #end The first status says only children 10 and 13 are still up, then there's the message "Child 14 aborted with signal 14," and then only child 10 is up. -Fyren _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
