- Added Custom Tab explanation dialog to be shown the first time the server browser is opened
Great! A dialog that will be closed before it finishes drawing the text, and then never opened again. The average gamer looking for a server will close that dialog without reading it. I suggest valve put a statistic to see how long the average player has that dialog open, and they will find out: 1. A majority of the players are very fast readers that can read over 1000 words per minute. 2. Players don't have the dialog open long enough to read it. That's a shame, because I want to use sv_tags without being penalized for it and put into another list where my servers will go to die. Hell, I can't even run a vanilla server with sv_tags vanilla, my vanilla server will show on the custom tab. The two tabs idea is broken. Quit wasting time working on a mechanic that will be fiercely fought. I can make server modifications left and right without sv_tags being modified, and I will have no incentive to properly list my server modifications if I am punished for it. If valve starts delisting servers about this, it will be the beginning of the end. Especially modified servers that don't forcefully modify the sv_tags, but just install addons that do not advertise themselves in sv_tags. I can turn my servers into instagib deathmatch without it changing sv_tags. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Ruymen Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 8:52 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] Team Fortress 2/Dedicated Server update released The required Team Fortress 2 update is now released.
