Re: [hlds] [L4D] Players intentionally lagging server
It's probably one of the many cvar exploits. Some server commands can be executed on the client. Bleh.

Re: [hlds] Left4Dead Versus Only changes map to non-versus
No reserved slots until Valve releases the SDK. From: Chad Austin c...@pcchemical.com To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 8:23:48 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Left4Dead Versus Only changes map to non-versus I just want a lag free public versus server that I can play on Some of the ones out there are crappy, so I set up a dozen or so myself to increase the chances that one has an empty slot. I hope sourcemod gets reserved slots soon. msleeper wrote: I think you are taking a lot of extra, unnecessary steps. Do you want a private server, that plays Versus only maps? You can do this by disabling Lobby connect, and having the map startup with a Versus map. Do you want a public server, but it only plays Versus maps? Too bad, the best you are going to get is dumping people. My question was - why? What is the point of having a public, Versus 'only' server? As for being able to join your own server, tough luck there. Keep kicking people because we don't have Reserved Slots for SourceMod until the SDK is updated. If you don't want Lobby players on your server, like I've already said, just disable Lobby connects. On Thu, 2009-01-15 at 22:46 -0500, Chad Austin wrote: I am a little confused because of your reply. I don't necessarily want to dump people back to the lobby, but if thats the way to have a versus only server, than thats what I will do. Also since no communities are using my servers now, so it doesn't really matter if people get dropped. Also, does anyone know of a way to autokick someone from one of my servers so I can join, I usually have to kick 2 or 3 players before I can get a free spot. msleeper wrote: haha Wow. I don't get it, why? What's the benefit? If you don't want lobby players on your server, there are much better methods of doing that - and you can just set the startup map to be one of the versus campaigns and your server will be joinable in Versus mode that way.

[hlds] Left 4 Dead Server Quality Control
HI, My Friends and I usually team up on campaign servers, and usually it takes 10-15 minutes to find a good dedicated server. The first one may lag, the second one may shut down, and the third one may lag also. I was just wondering if we could have a form of server selecting or warning- i.e., Valve adds something that says CONOSLE: Warning: You are playing on a Single-Core server. Expect Lag when you join or maybe you could see the specs of the dedicated server you are about to join. Like the lobby leader sees 2.4 GHz Quad, 4000MB Ram. Accept? [YES] [NO] Alternatively, there could be something like HLDSupdatetool checks your specs and says Please upgrade your system to have at least a __._GHz Dual Core Processor before running left4dead. I know it's a long shot, but I think the Left 4 Dead community deserves to play on lag-free servers. Well also if you guys could do me a favor, we are putting up a CS:Source server and are thinking of just buying a dedicated server for our CS:Source. GMOD, and L4D, I know that the CPU usage of L4D is comparable to a 26 slot TF2 server, how good a box do you think we would need for all three servers?

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Server Quality Control
CONOSLE: Warning: You are playing on a Single-Core server. Expect Lag Lollz A rating system or something for servers maybe, but your whole idealized no-single-core (srcds is largely single threaded...) 2gig ram having thing sounds pretty snobby and ineffective at the same time. I run three lag free 32x TF2 servers on a 2.4GHz quad core with 4gigs of ram, and some old pentium 4 could run a single lag free L4D server pretty well. Network and configuration are usually vastly more important. I agree that on games with a server browser you can find and return to fun lag free servers, while outside of steam group servers l4d just throws you in there. One idea would be pushing steam group servers a lot more, IE have a 'hosted by' drop down that lets you pick steam groups, including ones you're not in but have played on before (assuming theirs arn't exclusive) or some such.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Server Quality Control
Arg... I know there was a command that you can put into console that limits what servers you (as lobby leader) will connect to. You can set it as a lower number. It came up on the thread before... But there is a problem with just making a server ranking system. Think of it as this, you might get horrible latency in a server in Japan, but for Japanese people it's a great server. So it's possible that they have a good server and what not, but it's just that you are a physical distance to far. If anyone can remember that one command that's the solution to your problem. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of J T Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 8:00 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Server Quality Control Are you sure the lag isn't because of yours and your friends pings to the server?
