Thx for the update though I'm still seeing an issue joining my passworded test server. No matter how I try and join the server the prompted window for password pops up with the password already autofilled in the password field.
eg; ****** All a player would have to do is click 'ok' to get in. Win32 vanilla server... test server.cfg echo server config loading... hostname myserver sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 sv_password password ________________________________ From: Jason Ruymen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]>; "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2008 10:08:47 PM Subject: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Demo Updated Released The Left 4 Dead Demo has been updated. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive it. The specific changes include: - Fixed several issues with matchmaking and password protected servers - Tuned matchmaking to provide better search results - Fixed bug where servers could stay reserved by matchmaking forever - Performance optimizations and fixes to networking layer - Fixed issue where game could cause Steam executable to use too much CPU - Fixed music resetting when changing video settings - Fixed some issues with not being able to chat and/or connect to other users In addition to those, we've also added some early features to help enable "private" servers. There are two ways to enable this: Set a sv_search_key to a unique string on the server Do the same on each client that will want to connect Start a map on the server Searches for games should be restricted to only finding servers with that search key Or Set sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 Set sv_password to a non-empty string Start a map on the server Tell the client the IP address of the server Client uses console to "connect <ip>" just like the good old days Should result in password prompt during connect to server These features are still a work in progress.
