Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 and sv_steamgroup_exclusive
I think something is up with the sv_steamgroup_exclusive cvar. I have it set in my server.cfg, and when I launch the server, it fills immediately with players. Only after I kick everyone off the server does it stay empty until someone in our group does a mm force to it. I have not tried an mm force as a non-group member though.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D dedicated server: reserved for group and public
What is the behaviour when all members of a steam group leave a reserved server and public players are on it? The matchmaking gets more public people in the server until its full, and the match is played until the last level is over.

I do agree though that L4D does need a much better server lobbying system. It's almost like they were halfway into it and decided to have the lobby idea instead of the classic direct-connect method. I really wish they would add another option to the server listing, Favorites. So you could choose from Official Dedicated, Best Dedicated or Favorites. This would have you attempt the servers listed in a favorites before searching for others. Of course, we are still waiting on 4v4 and a decent skill-based matchmaking. I suppose we will all have to pre-order L4D2 today and save! -_- -Mike On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 10:34 AM, Matt Ford m...@dancingfrog.co.uk wrote: Thanks for all the replies. The search key as MIke Zimmermann describes initially seemed to do what I wanted, but after playing on the server, I continued to see public people initiate games that shouldn't have done (unless they guessed the key). Perhaps I did something wrong. However, the design overall does seem borked. The steamgroup provides a way of authorising people on to servers yet there isn't a mechanism for group members to easily use the servers they have access to from a lobby. The search_key mechanism allows users to search for (in effect) tagged servers - perhaps useful for looking for mods, but in no way controls access. It seems to me that there is a place for both mechanisms (and they shouldn't be mutually exclusive) I'm sticking with the ms_force_dedicated_server option for the mo as at least I can guarentee one member of the steam group is present. What is the behaviour when all members of a steam group leave a reserved server and public players are on it? Also, how does Valve support PC servers? They must have seeded/helped a few people get things running or do they host all themselves? I wanna RTFM! Cheers, Matt. 2009/7/7 Mike Zimmermann rem...@gmail.com If you use only a search key and no steamgroup exclusive, it will act exactly as you wish. The server will only be used by lobby leaders who have the correct search key set, no pub lobbies will join it. Also, once you do start a game and say someone leaves, the server is now open to anyone. So that spot can be refilled by people who are searching for games in progress. You can always check the current tags on your server by doing sv_showtags. If you see something like key:yourkey1013 (1013 will probably be a different number because of the update) then that means your server is currently not being listed on the public available ones and can only be joined by people who have the search key set. If you only see key:1013, that means your server is being listed and can be joined by anyone. Your best off just doing it this way and telling the people in your steamgroup the search key to set. -Mike On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 3:11 PM, David A.

All you have to do is be the lobby leader and have your sv_search_key set, and you should be able to create a public game that other users can join. I usually just play with friends (that do not have sv_search_key set) but it should work just as well for a public game. Good luck, Bill Matt Ford wrote: Hi All, There seems to be a lot of misleading/confusing information on forums and 3rd party support sites regarding dedicated server setup for L4D Here's what I want my dedicated server to do: 1) not be used unless the lobby leader is in a specific steam group AND 2) be automatically found by a lobber leader when he starts a game Now I can fix 1 by using sv_steamgroup_exclusive . Then the lobby leader has to use ms_force_dedicated_server xx.xx.xx.xx. This is okay, but for non-techie gamers a bit of a pain. I can fix 2 by using sv_search_key on the server and lobby leaders client. However, no one from the public arena can find it - this makes for lonely games. Is it unreasonable for the default search from the lobby iterate over steam group servers before expanding to the public servers at large? Is this possible now, given I've likely mis-understood, some of the cvars?
