There is no other solution to this problem other than to add 3 tabs (internet, standard, custom) or to go back to one tab with all of the new filters.
Anything else is beating around the bush and not really solving anything. This seems to be what a majority of people want. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Grimm Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 11:43 AM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve, thank you for virtually destroying my TF2 community. like i said in another message: Remove the custom tab, add the server-tags and the filter-options into the internet tab and everything would be fine. with the current system i don't see any sense to add tags into my server ... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 4:26 PM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve, thank you for virtually destroying my TF2 community. That'd be fine. Right under the VAC message. 'This server is custom and game play may or may not be different'. It's a good excuse to increase the size of that message and perhaps let server operators add a message while they connect to the server. Because we all know people read the MOTDS... - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kitteny Berk Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 11:17 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve, thank you for virtually destroying my TF2 community. I agree with that entirely. Just adding a checkbox (like in the whole Battlefield, CoD and (probably) Quake series of games) would work nicely, it's a method most "hardcore" gamers are used to and one that newer gamers should get used to, because it's the industry standard. Hell, even if valve have to add a "this server is using these rules" thing to the loading screen, that'd be better than tabs I'd personally love to be able to add handy info like "offensivepissheads;custommaps" to my server without getting bumped over to the short bus tab.
