"But other than that, is there any reason at all to include z_difficulty in a server.cfg?"
"If you let the Lobby System do the leg work (like you should, private or Group Exclusive servers included), there is no reason to set z_difficulty." Correct. That was one of the things some people were and probably still are trying to specify in the server.cfg, and is why I specifically commented it out (with explanation). However, there is no reason a private server that is not using Lobby connections couldn't enable and define the z_difficulty if they wanted to. Just don't leave it in there for public, Lobby connections is my recommendation. Sean On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 4:13 PM, msleeper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not really, no.
