Re: [hlds] L4D search_key server good for only 1 use?
Hi Robert. We updated the master servers today to specifically correct this issue. If you haven't restarted your server today, please do so and it should correctly work with sv_search_key and steam groups. There is a minor issue on Linux servers when using sv_search_key that they won't show up for joining again until they heartbeat at least once after the last player left which make take a few minutes. I'll be addressing this in a future update. -- /// Zoid. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Robert Whelan Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2009 12:52 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] L4D search_key server good for only 1 use?

Re: [hlds] L4D search_key server good for only 1 use?
Hello Zoid, Thx for the reply, seems to be working so far. All 6 of our servers appear in the steam group and have survived 3 search key queries. There is one problem though, this is new as of today. I have 1 server which runs as +mp_gamemode survival +map l4d_sv_lighthouse. Its listed in the steam group with the other 5 though the join game option isn't available in the steam group area so connecting to it isn't possible in that window. I can however join directly or thru the serverbrowser etc. If I switch the problem server over to coop/versus all is fine again. In the steam group server window it shows the server and ping though doesn't show player counts 0/4 or what modes running ie: normal, versus or survival. Hope that's not to confusing, lemme know if I can help further.

It's true, the matchmaker need some major fixing. It's not robust, it's not even decent.

Last night it took 8 lobby creation attempts by me and my friends just to get a game on an offical dedi server, only for it to crash 3 chapters in.

Re: [hlds] L4D Search_key
Update to the latest snapshot from http://www.sourcemod.net/snapshots.php It removes the sourcemod tag for this reason. Also, make sure to remove any mention of sv_alltalk from your config, unless you have it set to on. Alltalk has an odd behavior in L4D it seems, so it's probably best just to leave it alone.

Re: [hlds] L4D Search_key
Agreed - although Steamworks doesnt agree Matchmaking / Lobbies Steamworks' multiplayer back-end is powered by robust matchmaking and lobby technology. The same technology that drives the quick and accurate match-ups in Left 4 Dead can be used in your game. Hardly robust, Hardly quick. L4D is an awesome game, but the lobby just doesnt work right. Last night it took 8 lobby creation attempts by me and my friends just to get a game on an offical dedi server, only for it to crash 3 chapters in. Aside from the gameplay itself, its f***ing baffling to see how its won any awards. Its getting sick now, and ech time im in a lobby, players just slag it off no end.

(or atleast at the point I was reading that.) Any easy way for a noob like myself to query a windows server to find the whole sv_tags String? Thanks When people get help like this it makes the list useful again.

Versus works fine, so long as you don't exceed that 64 chars before the word versus finishes in the tag string. A long search key, sourcemod, steam group ID, and other things that push the coop,versus part of the tag string past the 64 char mark will result in issues, apparently. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.comhttps://mail.google.com/mail?view=cmtf=0to=hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cmtf=0to=hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.comhttps://mail.google.com/mail?view=cmtf=0to=hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cmtf=0to=hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com ] On Behalf Of Saint K.
