I'm sorry, but I don't understand. If you're doing -fork 4 how do you
specify a config for each sever then using +servercfgfile?

2008-11-07 Thread J T
At least this isn't BF2, which was plagued with everything imaginable. And
they didn't even have a mailing list like this that had employee's
responding to questions and comments. I just started subscribing to this
mailing list, and I have to say its actually helps server administrators and
vavle to communicate on some type of public level.

Personally, I don't think its all that bad Q/A it with the community. I mean
honestly its probably for the best anyways, cause there are so many
different  server configurations out there.

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking

Using the +servercfgfile works in Win32 as well, thank Flubber. This is for
anyone who wants to run multiple SRCDS' from the same installation except
with different server.cfg's. For example, my command line is "+servercfgfile
server2.cfg". I did not replace -exec server.cfg which I doubt you want to,
but the server runs fine and it changes hostname etc.

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking

2008-11-07 Thread Chris Brunelle
Exactly, I won't promote bad behavior such as what you're suggesting.  

Be thankful they are on the mailing list communicating with us.  Be thankful
they are taking our suggestions and feedback and actually doing something
about it.   Be thankful they responded with fixes QUICKLY yesterday.  Very
few companies these days listen to what their customers have to say.

Sure you can argue "custom tab..." till your blue in the face, but guess
what?  Eventually they did what we asked for.

Go right ahead, take your servers down, and while you're at it maybe you can
unsubscribe from the mailing list as well?  After all I don't want to
promote any bad behavior.

... okay? you taking your servers down certainly won't do a whole lot... but
whatever floats your boat. I talked to Jason and it simply seems like they
couldn't make the deadline. They were working on it up until the very
release. Yes, they could have handled things a big differently, but at least
many of the errors were fixed within a few hours. At least they are
communicating with us on some level.
 
So you go right ahead and make a statement by taking down your l4d servers.

No, Demo implies "Not feature complete and for evaluation prior to purchase".

sick of this happening release after release.

2008-11-07 Thread SakeFox
read in the older emails from valve before L4D was released. They said 
that they would be working with server admins to get this to better for 
us. if it says beta or not it doesn't matter. they already planned on 
working on the lobby stuff to make it better for the server admins.

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking

Boy it sure would be nice if Valve would do some decent things, like:

1. QA their releases before launching them out into the wild
2. Include sample server and startup configs
3. Not rely on the server-hosting community to do its QA work for them

We are all being used. I won't participate in this debacle any further. Thus 
far, they're using us as guinea pigs. And I won't have it. 

I'm pulling down this L4D hunk of absolute crap until Valve decides they should 
do right by the people who are their bread and butter. I will suggest everyone 
else do the same. Anything else will simply promote Valve's bad behavior.

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking

My server.cfg has sv_allow_lobby_connect_only set to zero and the
sv_unreserve line in there and people are able to join via the lobby and via
server browser.

Sv_unreserve does _not_ stop people joining from the lobby
It's a one-time command that clears lobby reservations from your server.
Nothing to say the lobby won't re-reserve slots later on (not sure if it'll
do that immediately or if it does it at a later date)
For example, I've used it on my public servers before the last update, as
there was an issue where slots would be reserved but not cancelled.  Running
that command cleared the reservations and more people joined immediately


Running the server with -nomaster (command-line command only) will stop the
server adding its details to the master list, or you can set the
sv_search_key cvar to something unique, as per Jason Ruymen's email

Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking

2008-11-07 Thread Anthal
In linux, it's much more resource efficient to run the servers forked. 
However, all of the servers will use the same config, which is a royal pita.

I'd love to see a +exec server##.cfg
and have files named server01.cfg, server02.cfg, etc

It has to be in the server.cfg. Unfortunately we are not able to specify the
server config files so we're stuck with running it either a lobby server or
a server browser server per the same set of files.

There are lots of servers using this, but it seems that sv_unreserve is NOT
working correctly, or only working for one map.

Every server I've tried to join:

Connecting to xxx
Server using lobbies no, requiring pw no, lobby id xxx
Server is reserved for members of joining lobby

Ensure your using the latest update for the server.  

Add these to your server.cfg:

setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27011
setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011

If I use the following cvars:
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
sv_tags "Server Browser Join Enabled" 
sv_unreserve

Does this mean that my server will no long be able to be joined via
matchmaking? Because when I input them into the server.cfg and restarted the
map I no longer got any parties of 3 or 4 joining, it would just be the odd
1 person joining at a time. I have no problem with my server appearing in
matchmaking I just want to be able to join it when I want and when my clan
members want.
