Does anyone know why Valve is so conservative with server set up information?
Why dont they ever tell us what params can be passed to srcds.exe (god forbid giving us a /? or -h)? Why dont they ever release a sample server.cfg or at least tell us what cvars are available or what they recommend? It seems that everything is passed along on a whisper or some information that someone guessed or happened to fall into by pure chance. Am I missing some secret document here, or is this the way its always been done and they'll not break from tradition? You either spend hours hand crafting your server.cfg by grabbing little snippets of info from here and there, or you just go and download one from a fansite or someone who is kind enough to release their hard work (which tend to be months or years out of date and can do more harm than good). At the end of the day, the game would not make it without people like us who host the servers on their own dime/penny. Could valve please provide us server hosters with a decent bit of info instead of throwing the preverbial meat into the pit and letting people scrabble for it? If I have missed the official page which shows all the information I have talked about here, then woot and please post up the link, if not then bad valve, shame on you ;) Thoughts?
