Re: [hlds] Left4Dead Versus Only changes map to non-versus
Well, if you don't mind starting the lobby every time you want to play (which, if you ask me, is not a big deal), then, yes. You simply set the sv_search_key on the client server, and start your public lobby in versus mode each time. Granted, this isn't necessarily a public server at this point, but just a public lobby you start every time you want to play versus. It certainly would guarantee you a spot in a versus game on your server. Apart from that, no. And I'm glad, because as someone else pointed out, it's rude to do so with a public server. -Joe On Jan 15, 2009, at 10:35 PM, Chad Austin wrote: Is there any way to make: a lag free public dedicated versus server that I can play on? msleeper wrote: ...

Re: [hlds] Left4Dead Versus Only changes map to non-versus
Advertising a public server that will randomly error on 50% of the users out there without warning is impolite to say the least. I'd only recommend this if the server is _not_ publically joinable, but instead is joinable via steam community or similar, so that your users know what they're getting themselves into. (I assume it _is_ some kind of restricted-access server or else it's a bit harsh to let the matchmaking process select 8 people who want to play together and then kick one of them) -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds- boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Chad Austin Sent: 16 January 2009 03:47 To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Left4Dead Versus Only changes map to non-versus I am a little confused because of your reply.

You can do this by disabling Lobby connect, and having the map startup with a Versus map. Do you want a public server, but it only plays Versus maps?
