Here are some details for how to configure your server to receive quickplay traffic. First, the general requirements and scoring systems have not changed. (Your server must have an account and advertise the _registered tag, will be penalized or excluded for certain rule changes, etc). Details are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513 This year the quickplay UI will offer players two choices for Halloween: 1.) Halloween 2012. Servers exclusively running the new map 24/7. 2.) Halloween mix. Servers running a mix of all the Halloween maps. At any given time, your server can only be in one pool or the other. Valve will be running servers in both pools. Your server will be placed in pool #1 if: * You advertise the tag event247; and * You are running the new map koth_lakeside_event. Your server will be placed in pool #2 if: * You advertise the tag eventmix; and * You are running one of the four Halloween maps. The eligible Halloween maps are: koth_harvest_event cp_manor_event koth_viaduct_event koth_lakeside_event If you don't set one of the two tags, you won't get any quickplay traffic! Also, I'd like to mention a new convar that has been added, mp_mapcycle_empty_timeout_seconds, which will cause your server to cycle the map if it has been empty for a certain period of time. - Fletch ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit:https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] tf_mm_servermode
Hey again, I fixed my issues by setting tf_mm_servermode to 0 from 1. However, this just means that probably the beta quickplay system is broken at the moment. What is tf_mm_strict, by the way?

Re: [hlds] tf_mm_servermode
Here is my assessment: The real heart of the issue is tf_mm_strict is fucked up. The values of 0 and 1 are reversed, but not for the tags. Setting it to 0 clears the tag hidden, but makes ad-hoc connections not possible (IE, from the server browser). It also has a chance to make bots move into the server. Setting this to 1 puts on the hidden tags, but makes it possible to connect normally (Which is what setting it to 0 should do). The reason that setting tf_mm_servermode to 0 works is because it cuts out the beta system, which is the only system using the tf_mm_strict. This lets you rely on the old system. Therefore, Valve needs to fix their shiz.

Re: [hlds] tf_mm_servermode
Just keep in mind that this opts out of the beta quickplay. You can still use the beta quickplay if you set tf_mm_servermode back to 1, and set tf_mm_strict to 1. However, your server gets the hidden tags. For now, I just said whatever, and set tf_mm_servermode to 0 for the time being.

Re: [hlds] tf_mm_servermode
tf_mm_servermode can be set to 0, 1 or 2. At setting 0, it uses just the old quickplay system (the original). At setting 1, it opts into the beta system at the same time as the old one. At setting 2 it sets it to MvM mode. tf_mm_strict can also be set to 0, 1 or 2. It influences how the beta system interacts with servers. At setting 0, it allows people to join off of the server browser, through quickplay or what have you. At setting 1, it hides the server on the browser, and only accepts matchmaking. At setting 2, it hides the server on the browser but allows ad-hoc joining methods (like off of a friend, console, etc.) On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 10:59 PM, Jimmy Rustler enjoi4...@hotmail.comwrote: So can I get a breakdown of tf_mm_servermode and tf_mm_strict and what their specific commands do?

If the first person to join your server comes in through the matchmaking system, your server will accept players from either source. This shortcoming will be addressed soon. So, basically: * Set tf_mm_servermode 1 to avoid missing out on any traffic from the beta matchmaking system. * If it causes any problems, then opt out! That's why it's called beta!

[hlds] TF2 Quickplay Issue
Hey all, I don't often post here, but this time I felt it was important. I help managed some TF2 servers, but I notice that as of late Quickplay has become less reliable. It disconnects more often, and sometimes even requires a server reboot to fix. More importantly, since the most recent updates on the 11th and 13th of July, Quickplay no longer fills the server. It works up until around 16-19 players, and then it dies out without helping the server reach 21-24 (the server maximums). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any way to check if it is actually working?
