None of this is about documentation. It's about the server being done in a certain way, and you wishing it was different. Some of the things you are talking about make good sense to me (there should be a proper lobby for direct connect / steam group joins, although this is a client issue not a server one). Some of them should not imo be possible without a server-side mod (like changing game behaviour like the amount of zombies; can't remember offhand if that exists as a cheat command atm or not). Some of them make no sense (like wanting to limit to coop or versus only - what's supposed to happen after a versus lobby has tried to connect to a server that's restricted the maps to coop only?)
