Hi Mark ics, forgot the fact, that srcds doesn't like punctation.

Re: [hlds] Ghostplayer Issue - Any solutions?
Hi ics! I don't know if you have really heard about that issue, but a player who needs 2 days+ to download a map, uses a modem from the 1850's or is a bug in any kind.

We use a gameserver (NO ROOT) with our fast download space at our homepage (an other server). We can't find out whats the problem is... If we delete the map from fast download and gameserver, the problem is solved with unpure. Can anyone give me a hint, whats wrong and probably solve that issue?

Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
Hi! Nice idea with that steamgroup string! But I'm with voogru, Server should be added in the steamgroup admin panel. Would fix, the problem with our planned moving our well populated public DOD:S Server.

A better option would be to have the administrator add his servers onto his steam group, and servers from the groups your are associated with show up in a different color to make them more visible. Another change I'd like to see, is change the get server list function to retrieve servers from your groups, and then from the master list. Group servers show up on top of the rest of the servers. This is pretty much the only implementation I would support. I would be strongly against sv_steamgroup in its current form being ported to TF2 because the last thing I want is some schmuck running servers that are masquerading as my servers. - voogru. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Alec Sanger Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 1:49 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games wouldn't the post you responded to fix that problem?
