I don't get it. Is this a feature or a new bug? I mean, who is interested in to give ordinary people kicking power?
> We have added support for Steam community blocking in the dedicated > server. This functionality is in testing and is controlled by convar ( off > by default ). If the convar is enabled, every new player at connect time ( > once authenticated ) will be tested against the block list of every player > already authenticated on the server. If any of the players on the server > have blocked this player, the dedicated server is notified, and that new > player may be kicked from the server depending on the convar settings. > It is assumed that the most popular setting will take advantage of steam > groups. To do this, use the new "sv_steamgroup" convar to set the group > that your server belongs to, and set "sv_steamblockingcheck" to 2. With > this setting only members of the group that "owns" the server may deny > other players access to the server. If a group has been selected and > "sv_steamblockingcheck" is set to 1, the console text will distinguish a > new player that is blocked by a clan member vs a non-clan member. > > Here are the details of the options: > > sv_steamblockingcheck > 1 = print results to console only > 2 = kick the new player from the server if anyone already on the server > who is a member of the associated clan has blocked the new player > 3 = kick the new player from the server if anyone already on the server > has blocked the new player > 4 = kick the new player from the server if anyone already on the server > has blocked the new player or the new player has blocked any existing > player on the server > > sv_steamgroup > Set this convar to the group ID of the group that this server belongs to. > You can find your group's ID on the admin profile page in the steam > community. > > Please send feedback about blocking in dedicated servers directly to me. > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
