I believe coding for xbox and coding for windows is very similar, which is also why its easy to release a game on both PC and xbox. So both platforms on the same server is a possible transition, however I don't believe they are doing this yet. It could possibly be that we are seeing dev's working towards doing this, with both using very similar package (hence we see files related to xbox on the PC version even though they are not used). We also see the same xbox and controller config files in TF2 which is also on the xbox. Those have been there for over a year now and there is no cross-compatability with servers there.
I'd say the answer at the moment would be no for the other reason that if it was the case, Valve would be touting it and making a big thing about it because they'd be the first. I think we're just seeing them either using the same code for the two versions, or working towards making it possible in a future game. I'm fairly confident in saying that when its possible, you will know about it because it will be everywhere.

Maybe those server files are used to host a xbox server. But I don't think it's a cross dedicated server. I really hope not, because a mouse beats the controller on FPS games. I can find only 2 reasons why valve wanted to bring left4dead to the xbox.. 1ste money aspect and 2nd pressure from EA. But that is still my opinion, because I think the zombies are way too fast for a controller (atleast for a casual gamer)... sorry about the xbox frustration ;) -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Brad Verzonden: vrijdag 7 november 2008 10:34 Aan: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Onderwerp: [hlds] Dedicated Servers Hosting Console Players? I really haven't found any proof of this or anything (it really is hard to get a firm grip on whether this is the case or not because the server files include a whole bunch of client code), but does anyone know for sure if our dedicated servers are being used to host Xbox 360 players? Obviously, there is the line "SupportsXbox360 1" in gameinfo.txt that leads one to this conclusion. Even if this isn't the case, does anyone have any idea what that file is talking about? It clearly is a file intended for PCs, but there are console references in it. I feel like something fishy is going on, but I hope I am wrong. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds __________ NOD32 3593 (20081107) Informatie __________ Dit bericht is gecontroleerd door het NOD32 Antivirus Systeem. http://www.nod32.nl _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
