There's also a problem where you can't manually set tags that are set by the game. For example, if I have a plugin to modifies respawn times, I can't add the respawntimes tag, as the game will remove it. The only way to set the respawntimes tag without changing the game's built-in respawn timer is

Re: [hlds_linux] Tf2 beta: please make steamcmd able to convert old servers

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Reminder about server tags

Unfortunately, I would imagine that detecting servers that run respawn plugins would be a lot more difficult than detecting servers that don't properly report the increased_maxplayers tag. To detect the former, your have to actually join. To detect the latter, you simply need to query the server

depends on the number of players you have. For the bosses to spawn on any Halloween map, you need a minimum of 10 players. If that's not the reason, then I'm sorry I can't help you! On Oct 27, 2012 9:32 PM, "Doctor McKay" wrote: What would prevent the Halloween bosse
