Re: [hlds_linux] search_key and private group/communities etc.
Speaking of community servers, it would be nice to implement something like a optional mapcycle. People rather leave the server than switching campaign, so our Steamgroup servers are always stuck at the same map. Even in survival mode no one tries to change the map. I really don't like this "lobby-server-communism" and would appreciate more community orientated concepts. Herbi Kevin J.

Re: [hlds_linux] Unwanted L4D servers in own Steamcommunity group
If you know a server in that Steamgroup, you can just view the servers config / tags including the "sv_steamgroup" value. ;) ics schrieb: > More interesting question is, how does the 3rd party know your > Steamgroup ID?

Re: [hlds_linux] Unwanted L4D servers in own Steamcommunity group
Hi! You can't afaik. We also add our servers into other steamgroups, but we're asking the group admin for permission. Try to contact the 3rd party server provider and tell them to not add their servers into your group. :) Regards Herbi Ronny Schedel schrieb: > Hello, > > is there some way to protect the own steam community group for unwanted > servers?

[hlds_linux] Trying to set up a Steamgroup server after update
Hi! I'm currently trying to set up sereval Steamgroup servers on different gamemodes. The problem is that mp_gametype is not set correctly (or at all) on survival maps, because our Steamgroup servers operate without lobby. Apart from that is it possible to run a survival server with something like a mapcycle? Thx for any help!
