Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
Ditto -- when people connect they just get normal settings which is annoying -- not a huge deal to just change it to whatever, but still.. Why can't lobby leaders have an option to choose Dedicated Server, Local Server Community Server, or something? That seems like the simplest thing to do -- I don't care which server my members land on, just that they can... Right now with sv_search_key set on all my forks and my client, I never land on my servers -- ever. It's annoying to say the least.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
Mine has no pass and it doesn't work for me :S.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Community Server Idea - Matchmaking
Client connections still bypass the password, anyway. :) Anyone else want to up this thread? It'd be nice to get more people attached to this thread so Valve sees this isn't just some proprietary thing we want. I still have no reason to run community servers. People would rather play on auto-join because they can configure their games. On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 7:40 PM, 1nsane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mine has no pass and it doesn't work for me :S.
