What? You mean Valve's comments about supporting the server admins aren't enough? You want actual support? Valve, you suck at supporting server admins, despite what you say.
I think Valve should host some sample servers, with public config files, and throw up some more public config files once in a while to show how to <do random neat thing>. Seems like an HLDS developer blog is in order... Barring that, documentation (complete, correct, and unambiguous) please. No, not a wiki. No, not a list of cvars with missing and ambiguous definitions. Documentation. I'm sure some intern was tasked with compiling napkin scrawls and white board scribbles into a semi-cohesive document. Hell, I still haven't figured out how the actual resolution of the banner display space. It varies according to resolution apparently... I could stretch it to fill the space, but then it looks ugly. I could pad it, but that looks ugly too. (Granted, my mobo died 8 days ago, so I haven't messed with my servers since.) I'll be setting up a server again this weekend. Hopefully by then the dust will have settled, but I doubt it. > Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:56:55 -0500 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds] How about some server instructions and server.cfg files? > > Careful, frank :) I said the same thing a few weeks ago only to be barraged > with "waah waaah waaaah what a crybaby" type emails flooding the list. > > But yeah.
