Did you try using a search key? In your server.cfg, put: sv_search_key someuniquekey
Then while in the lobby, enter the same thing into your console: sv_search_key someuniquekey However, doing this will prevent anyone from joining your server unless they are using the same search key. If you wish to still allow random lobbies to use your server, replace the line in your server.cfg with this: sv_search_key "1013,key:someuniquekey" That will allow random lobbies to use your server but if it is empty, and you have the search key set in your lobby, you will use the server. -Mike On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 12:32 PM, David A.
