I like this idea - I think the only thing that may hold Valve back on
implementing it ("it" meaning adding a server via the steam group admin
panel) would be the eventual inundation of e-mails to support asking
"Why isn't my server being detected when I add it to the steam group
page" or similar e-mails.I would love to see a system like this implemented though, across any hlds/srcds game server. -mauirixxx - Sent from my #hlserveradmins IRC fanboyism -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hyphon Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 9:33 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games Hi! Nice idea with that steamgroup string! But I'm with voogru, Server should be added in the steamgroup admin panel. Would fix, the problem with our planned moving our well populated public DOD:S Server. Just change the entry in the admin panel, tell our players to join our group and all is going just well! :) -Hyphon Am 17 Mar 2009 um 14:38 hat Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald geschrieben: You can't password sv_steamgroup, plug-ins could forcefully change it anyway. A better option would be to have the administrator add his servers onto his steam group, and servers from the groups your are associated with show up in a different color to make them more visible. Another change I'd like to see, is change the "get server list" function to retrieve servers from your groups, and then from the master list. Group servers show up on top of the rest of the servers. This is pretty much the only implementation I would support. I would be strongly against sv_steamgroup in its current form being ported to TF2 because the last thing I want is some schmuck running servers that are masquerading as my servers. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alec Sanger Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] sv_steamgroup for other games wouldn't the post you responded to fix that problem? A groupID would have to match a groupID password in order for it to work. Adding servers via the group settings would also be a great fix.
