Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
Here's a quick update... I have sv_search_key is this: sv_search key 1013,key:MYKEYGOESHERE both in the server *AND* in my client. I can connect to my server just fine (~80% of the time?) doing this. HOWEVER: I have only had a few (one or two) instances in the past week in which random people joined my server. Not even during the free couple of days did I have people in my server except for people I knew. So, it seems that sv_search key 1013,key:MYKEYGOESHERE does not work like intended. You will mostly get your server, but you will never find another server if you're in a lobby when your server is being used, and you will barely ever get other people in your server.

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
OkI'm not getting anything new, but I think I need to understand a bit more the use of each of these cvars.

sv_steamgroup just makes the server show up in the list on the main menu of all members and had no effect on lobbies. sv_search_key filters lobby server searches to servers with matching keys.

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
True. I know this has been answered before, but it's a bit too specific to read through all the sv_search_key messages for. True or false: When you have sv_search_key set, people who do NOT have it set can still connect to your server through a lobby. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
So, I have my sv_search_key on my server set to this: sv_search_key = MYKEYHERELOL,key:SEARCHKEY I have my ingame search key set to this: sv_search_key = MYKEYHERELOL ( def. ) I can't find my server doing that. If I set the server's search_key back to just MYKEYHERE lol it works fine. I also tried setting the in-game one to MYKEYHERELOL,key:SEARCHKEY as well to try it, but that made no difference. If I set both back to MYKEYHERELOL it works fine.

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
Imagine it like this. Whatever you set to sv_search_key is assigned to variable args. The code then does search_key = key: + args + 1013; so you would send up with search_key = key:args1013. You don't need to add the first key: and the final 1013 because those are added for you in the code. At least that is what I assume from reading Adam's previous email. -Mike On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 10:33 AM, Philip Bembridge philipbembri...@gmail.com wrote: wait, I'm confused now, what? 2009/4/27 Adam Nowacki no...@xpam.de The complete tag should be: key: + your key + 1013 (its the game version, 1.0.1.3) and , is the tag separator sv_search_key only takes care of the first key: and last version string similarly sv_steamgroup is just a grp: + group + i tag: sv_steamgroup 123i,grp:456 Jonah Hirsch wrote: So, I have my sv_search_key on my server set to this: sv_search_key = MYKEYHERELOL,key:SEARCHKEY I have my ingame search key set to this: sv_search_key = MYKEYHERELOL ( def. ) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
Yeah, search key just specifies any server to look in with that key. Personally I think the search key is totally useless. The ONLY way to connect to a server with a key is if you are using it. It should preference the servers, not use them exclusively. If I can't find a server with the search key, look for a normal server. Same goes for the actual servers, they are totally empty unless someone with the key goes to them. It's not bad if you only have 1 or 2 servers for a small community, but I'd like to have my servers open for normal lobbies, and for search lobbies if someone uses it so they can preference one.

It is exactly the same as public server search just that you are looking for servers with key:yourkeyhere1013 tag instead the public key:1013 ones. So yes, you can have thousands of servers with the same search key. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Jason Ruymen sent the message to the HLDS mailing list: The Left 4 Dead Demo has been updated. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive it. The specific changes include: - Fixed several issues with matchmaking and password protected servers - Tuned matchmaking to provide better search results - Fixed bug where servers could stay reserved by matchmaking forever - Performance optimizations and fixes to networking layer - Fixed issue where game could cause Steam executable to use too much CPU - Fixed music resetting when changing video settings - Fixed some issues with not being able to chat and/or connect to other users In addition to those, we've also added some early features to help enable private servers. There are two ways to enable this: * Set a sv_search_key to a unique string on the server* Do the same on each client that will want to connect Start a map on the server Searches for games should be restricted to only finding servers with that search key I don't ever recall seeing anything in the subsequent updates that indicated the servers could do as many of you have said (e.g., 1 server w/ same key). I'm glad to know this, but I did try it w/ only 2 servers, and NEITHER would connect. I tried this sometime this January. Maybe something changed, but I've never had a search key problem in any case. Did you guys just happen to *stumble* on this function or please point me to the update that stated or implied it. :D To msleeper's point, I think I'd concur w/ the possibility of your suggestion. For us, we've launched a pure public one for Matchmaking just to add to the pool of servers out there. Our other one is set to use the Key. We aren't concerned if they are not filled or used, but I do see an advantage of having the option like you describe. Some of our people have inquired about it as well. Another suggestion I'd throw outor maybe someone knows, is for a lobby to be set for INVITE only. Sucks to have ppl join, by accident, and they take spot of intended person. Thanks!

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
It's the issue with server tag string. When you specify both steamgroup and search key, it may become too long (longer than 63 symbols) so some tags get truncated - either steamgroup or key one. They have promised to fix it in SDK update by enabling more data to be sent to master servers (read the Survival DLC patch notes here). To view a list of tags, assigned to a running server, use sv_showtags - it only shows the working ones, so you may find the missing. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

When you specify both steamgroup and search key, it may become too long (longer than 63 symbols) so some tags get truncated - either steamgroup or key one. They have promised to fix it in SDK update by enabling more data to be sent to master servers (read the Survival DLC patch notes here). To view a list of tags, assigned to a running server, use sv_showtags - it only shows the working ones, so you may find the missing. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
when you have a search key set on your server, it can only be accessed through a lobby if the lobby uses that search key. Or if they connect directly using ms_force_dedicated_server. Normal lobbies with no search key wont access the server.

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
Also depends on the search key value, it is possible to make the server visible to both public and sv_search_key searches: sv_search_key 1013,key:SEARCHKEY or have 2 search keys: sv_search_key KEYA1013,key:KEYB or 3: sv_search_key KEYA1013,key:KEYB1013,key:KEYC ...

Re: [hlds] Quick question about sv_search_key
thanks...that key:SEARCHKEY was what I was looking for I guess.
