[hlds] Server not getting players
If I have a sv_search_key setup in the server.cfg can only people with the key use the server? I didn't think that was the case, as that would be what the password variable is for. I do not have any Steam Groups setup, so it should be usable by all. Anyways I'm able to get Lobby groups to the server without a problem, but otherwise the server never seems to get used. Thought I noticed some others stating they had noticed their servers weren't being used by random groups of players either, so figured I'd check in. thanks, Sean ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Server not getting players
setting sv_search_key will restrict the server to only lobbies that have that key set. It's a pretty good way to make a server semi-private since public lobbies wont connect.

Re: [hlds] Server not getting players
From what I understand, setting a password on a server makes it not work. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want the server private for a small number of people, or do you want anybody to use it but you can be able to connect to it when you want to (and it's free)?

Try removing it and restart the server, in most of the cases they will fill up as soon as they're done booting up. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
