Re: [hlds] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
Only your client needs sv_cheats 1, not the server; using it there should not affect the sv_cheats status of the server. Although I do not know for sure, setting it on the client might modify the server's sv_cheats if you are hosting it locally, but those cases should not require you to select a specific IP. That is to say, it is perfectly safe to use it with more or less any server, and should also work with any server, regardless of its sv_cheats status.

Re: [hlds] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
I would drop the "Server Browser Join Enables" tag. Long tags caused people to be unable to join from lobbies during the beta. (Plus, I don't like that tag - why not just "Browser Joinable" ?) You might also check to make sure that your server isn't in versus mode. I found that when my server is in versus mode, it doesn't fill up as quickly or as often. Versus mode is set when a versus map is loaded. There is no way for users to change a server's map. They can change the campaign, but they can not change the mode (versus or coop).

There is something like this already, although there is not a button for it at the moment. If you have a specific server in mind, simply create the lobby and have the Lobby Leader set "ms_force_dedicated_server IP:Port" in his/her console before pressing "Start Game". This will force the Matchmaker to find only that server, but be aware that you may have to re-set the value of the command after each game, even though it will show as still having the same IP from last time; failing to do so may to result ms_force_dedicated_server to be ignored, or at least it did during the Demo.

Re: [hlds] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
If set to 1, it's supposed to only let people in the group set in sv_steamgroup into the server. Everyone else should be booted out 1nsane wrote: > How is sv_steamgroup_exclusive supposed to work?

Re: [hlds] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
How is sv_steamgroup_exclusive supposed to work? It's not working for me at all. It does not show up in the steam group servers nor can I find a way to locate a lobby with it? And if I try to join it directly I get kicked into the lobby and then into some random server.

Re: [hlds] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
Yeah, I was disappointed when I saw this too. I'd like to see you have to find a server BEFORE you create a lobby, so there's no waiting once everybody is in. Steam group server or not. Then create a timeout, say 2 minutes, and if you don't start the game in 2 minutes, that server frees up, and you have to search for one like it is now.
