I'll be tagging my servers tomorrow, Id have them tagged by now but I have to undo some shenanigans, and I'm quite happy that I can tag my servers without being banished to hell.
"Now that all the servers are back in one tab, it's literally like finding a needle in a haystack if you're looking for a Vanilla server." Have vanilla server ops put "vanilla" in tags. Problem solved. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Eid Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 2:30 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: [hlds] The new tagging system Well, it's here in a way that seems to have been suggested on the list. Is everyone satisfied with how the new system is set up? Personally, I feel the Custom tab was a great idea but because it was universally hated amongst server operators, it didn't work. This new tagging system has the same chance of failure if everyone doesn't conform to the guidelines...which are simple: 1. Tag your server. I just wanted to make sure that everyone who's running a Vanilla server start using the tag 'Vanilla'. I fired up TF2 as soon as I had a chance and noticed how much more difficult it is to find a Vanilla server than it was before. Now that all the servers are back in one tab, it's literally like finding a needle in a haystack if you're looking for a Vanilla server. Also, please tag your server if you have Insta/Short respawn times, increased max players, alltalk, low gravity, all crits, no crits, birthday/party mode, etc. You no longer have to add all of this info to the title of your servers. I'm coming to all of you as a player, not a server operator. This is what everyone here wanted, so now let's see it in action. I hope this shapes up quickly because it's draining the fun out of the game hopping from server to server once I realize that "Random Pub" is insta-spawn and the next 15 I go to are, as well. I'm not trying to knock anyone's preferences, I'm just telling you what I prefer and how difficult it is to find that...and I'm not alone. A thread has already popped up on the forums regarding this issue. It's being requested by your communities and customers now, so I hope that's enough motivation to make this thing work. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=716255 Thanks for taking the time to read this!
