Either system would work. I personally would prefer game.hostname.xxx saved and resolved every time you do a search, but that's my own preference.
If the server steamed works, great. Linking to a server on a website though, I'd still rather see steam://l4d.mauirixxx.xxx:27808 then steam://steamID:port?/ Just looks nicer to me. mauirixxx -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Tony Paloma Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 12:21 PM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Request: Adding servers by domain name I'm pretty sure they're working on something like this, except that it's by SteamID, not hostname. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of bottige...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 3:15 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] Request: Adding servers by domain name Since people are talking about implementing ipv6, I thought I'd bring this up as a more urgent improvement. Servers can change IPs from time to time due to a decline in quality of the host or datacenter, or to move to better hardware at a better price. Unfortunately it is my experience, and probably many others here, that when you switch IPs, you will lose the vast majority of your player base. I've tried mitigating this by putting up the new IP on the name of the old server or automatically spamming it repeatedly in the chat, and it just doesn't work very well. I still get people asking me a month later where my server went, and that's only the people that bothered to friend me. By being able to favorite a server by domain name, the player experience would improve by not forcing them to re-add IP addresses or search through 2000 servers to find the new one in case they missed all the signs. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
