It's too bad Daitengu let serverwiki.org die ... that was a good place to document anything game server related. Anyone got his phone number and care enough to give him a call? :P I tried sending him an e-mail awhile back but never got a response....

Srcds.com doesn't really go beyond getting the game installed, which is the easiest part (one command-line command, one shell script and a five minute coffee break). I think what people would like to see is a more complete set of documentation on configuring map cycles and MOTDs, the peculiarities of each game, workarounds for any bugs that pop up, etc. It seems there are a lot of "how do I configure x" questions on this list, and they're mostly referring to cvars or files that would be very easy to change if people just knew they existed or how to get at them. -Dave steve grout wrote: > i find srcds.com is all that's needed :) > > David Kellaway wrote: > >> I have some unfinished rough documentation I wrote for myself a while >> back.
