I think it be better to block servers who are public and have altered the gamerules. Our L4D servers all run sourcemod for administration reasons, there are no plugins causing the gameplay to change, or silly 'ready' systems on it. It would be like playing on any other normal server.

My main concern with Left 4 Dead servers is serveroperators who set up custom plugins. There should be a tag on all servers with plugins, so you dont end up playing on one of those. One night I ended up on playing on one of Multiplay.co.uk servers, which had a !ready plugin installed. Noone on my team understood that they had to type !ready to start, and everyone left. (they tried to type 'type !ready' a few times though, lol). What I am asking for here, is something familiar to the Team Fortress 2 custom server flag. -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] På vegne av Eric Riemers Sendt: 13. februar 2009 14:35 Til: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Emne: Re: [hlds_linux] Tf2/l4d updates? Most just want the server browser back, mostly because of "advertising your clan/company?" to make a name. I only play on tf2 server which are crowded, which i know. Nobody wants to join a no-name 0 players servers. *but i dont think that will solve it* Both are not sufficient in there work, server browser does not offer stuff like the lobby does and visa versa. Its more a flaw which does not really has a correct sollution. I mean the issues i spoke of, i wont know how to solve those kind of issues. Overall i'am ok with how it is now, but there is still room for improvement.
