Hello! Here are some details for how to configure your server to receive quickplay traffic.
First, the general requirements and scoring systems have not changed. (Your server must have an account and advertise the _registered tag, will be penalized or excluded for certain rule changes, etc). Details are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513 This year the quickplay UI will offer players two choices for Halloween: 1.) Halloween 2012. Servers exclusively running the new map 24/7. 2.) Halloween mix. Servers running a mix of all the Halloween maps. At any given time, your server can only be in one pool or the other. Valve will be running servers in both pools. Your server will be placed in pool #1 if: * You advertise the tag "event247"; and * You are running the new map "koth_lakeside_event". Your server will be placed in pool #2 if: * You advertise the tag "eventmix"; and * You are running one of the four Halloween maps. The eligible Halloween maps are: koth_harvest_event cp_manor_event koth_viaduct_event koth_lakeside_event If you don't set one of the two tags, you won't get any quickplay traffic! Also, I'd like to mention a new convar that has been added, mp_mapcycle_empty_timeout_seconds, which will cause your server to cycle the map if it has been empty for a certain period of time. - Fletch _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
