Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
I like this idea - I think the only thing that may hold Valve back on
implementing it ("it" meaning adding a server via the steam group admin
panel) would be the eventual inundation of e-mails to support asking
"Why isn't my server being detected when I add it to the steam group
page" or similar e-mails.
I would love to see a system like this implemented though, across any
hlds/srcds game server.

Hi!
Nice idea with that steamgroup string!
But I'm with voogru, Server should be added in the steamgroup admin
panel.
Would fix, the problem with our planned moving our well populated public
DOD:S Server.
Just change the entry in the admin panel, tell our players to join our
group and all is going just well! :)

show up in a different color to make them more visible. Another change
I'd like to see, is change the "get server list" function to retrieve
servers from your groups, and then from the master list.
Group servers show up on top of the rest of the servers.
This is pretty much the only implementation I would support. I would be
strongly against sv_steamgroup in its current form being ported to TF2
because the last thing I want is some schmuck running servers that are
masquerading as my servers.

wouldn't the post you responded to fix that problem? A groupID would
have to match a groupID password in order for it to work.
Adding servers via the group settings would also be a great fix.
Thank you,

Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
I totally want some sort of Steam Group association with other game servers, TF2 especially. I love how L4D is tied to them, even in it's currently exploitable manner. I'd also like to see the Server Banner be added to the TF2 scoreboard or something else other than the MOTD. Also, you can invite people to other games, but it is kind of a bug. When you are in-game, go to your Friends list and set your status to Away, then set it back to Online. Voila, you can now right-click Invite To Game.

Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
wouldn't the post you responded to fix that problem? A groupID would have to match a groupID password in order for it to work. Adding servers via the group settings would also be a great fix.

Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
before this happens i would like to see a fix or a way to block servers from using your steam group on their servers. as it is now its not hard to get another groups steam group id and put it on there servers allowing it will show up in your group listing of servers. I personally would have no problems with having to add servers manually to the steam group in the group settings page.

Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
One thought yea, provide a password string along with the community tag, otherwise you get this people adding tags from other communities to their empty servers to try and get em filled. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Alec Sanger Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 6:19 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games It'd be really nice if this sv_steamgroup idea was implemented for other games. For example, Community XYZ has 10 TF2 servers. Player Bob has fallen in love with their Instant Respawn server and wants to add all of their servers to his favorites. He right mouse clicks his favorite list, clicks the "Add Steamgroup" option, and types "Community XYZ", which is a special unique tag for this community only. From now on, all of Community XYZ's servers will show up on Player Bob's favorites. When a new server is added to Community XYZ, it'll automatically show up. Thoughts?

Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games
Great idea - it would be nice to have the same features across the whole range of steam games - i particularly like the new achievements set up in tf2 - and would be nice to see that in l4d On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 5:19 PM, Alec Sanger wrote: > > It'd be really nice if this sv_steamgroup idea was implemented for > other games.
