Re: [hlds] Force a -nomaster to be listed
Well before i buy, nobody said your server will not be in master list... Also, i have choosen them because of their performance for forgein players. I think, what they are doing is okay for clanservers... But not for communities like mine, because we pay servers to get them full of players and promote our website and earn money from advertising to pay up more servers. I think, next month the only server i will host there will be the tournament server (because of international performance). I'll take for rent a dedicated server, and move the other servers there. Thanks Craig Collinson escribió: yeh stick to setting up pacman. on another note to the author of this thread why pay for a public server if it doesnt show up on the public list ? if only people can join you give the details to might aswell get it passworded and save money ? 2008/7/16 Andrew Armstrong [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I think if you're that worried about player server queries sucking up your bandwidth, you shouldn't be running bandwidth intensive game servers to begin with. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DontWannaName!

[hlds] Force a -nomaster to be listed
Hi, I am paying for a hosting which is having excelent reliability and is the first hosting that gives me everithing i need. They have excelent performance and low ping for international players (My community is open for the best Half-Life players of Latin America). But they have an only negative point... They adds -nomaster to ALL of their servers. The reason is that the queries done to the server produces high traffic. My question is: ¿Is there any way to make server to apear in list anyway? I am thinking about deceiving master servers sending server info or something simillar.

Re: [hlds] Force a -nomaster to be listed
Sounds like they're using the default TCAdmin settings. In which case you wouldnt be able to upload amxmodx or metamod anyway... Write to your host, say that -nomaster wont do jack for traffic, the only reason that it uses less bandwidth is because its not listed, no players are querying it.

I think they disabled master server comunication to avoid international queries to the server. This is the reason beause they have their holly 80 ms ping between Peru and Argentina. I will not change them because their performance is unique, if you send a ping from Peru, to any other host in Argentina, even those hosting in the Telecom datacenter (one of the most importants telecomunications enterprise here), you will get 270 or 300. My hosting is just 80!!! I need this international performance because i am about to launch an international tournament and the best players are outsside my country. And about the dlls it's because they wory about security... You know, inside a dll you can put EVERITHING... Even a malicious trojan to vulnerate all the datacenter. Any other idea?

They have excelent performance and low ping for international players (My community is open for the best Half-Life players of Latin America). But they have an only negative point... They adds -nomaster to ALL of their servers. The reason is that the queries done to the server produces high traffic. My question is: ¿Is there any way to make server to apear in list anyway? I am thinking about deceiving master servers sending server info or something simillar.

I think if you're that worried about player server queries sucking up your bandwidth, you shouldn't be running bandwidth intensive game servers to begin with. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DontWannaName!
