So ics just mentioned this in another thread, and we were talking about this in IRC yesterday (#hlserveradmins on gamesurge, FYI) but I'd like to separate it into a new thread since it's not related to the thread it was posting in:
Fletcher / Valve - I think all of us would love some sort of method similar to L4D2 for players on the server to be able to join a set Steam Group from within-game. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't already been done already, but that (and the MOTD server banner) were my 2 favorite things about running L4D / L4D2 servers. I loved that players had instant and direct access to joining the server's steam group, for those players who enjoyed being there and wanted to be apart. Blacklisting and reporting and so on are great for removing bad servers. But it would be awesome if some tools could be added on the other end of the scale, to allow players to add servers they enjoy playing at. There's already the "add to favorites" pop-up when you leave a server, perhaps add that option there? Or something on the scoreboard when you're in spectator mode? Or the MOTD as well? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
