So in the last two months I've been working on "community quick-play". It's a (hopefully) better version of the current server browser, where you can join any populated TF2 game-server with some sense of overview. If you want to check it out, it's available at https://teamwork.tf/community/quickplay
Combined with the new website, I (and Redsun) have worked on making an open-source project called "Project Beacon". It's basically a plugin that allows any website to identify a TF2 gameserver as a larger community of gameservers. You have the ability to sign so called "beacons" which anyone can verify and use for their own website/project. This is also what the teamwork.tf website uses to link community server providers with actual game servers (this way you can prevent there are fake community servers and get extra server context). More information is available at https://github.com/teamworktf/teamwork_server_beacon At last, there are also some wicked statistics available on the teamwork.tf website about players on Casual/Community servers and what gamemode they are playing. Even a cool map on which you can see where the game servers are running (https://teamwork.tf/worldmap/live and https://teamwork.tf/worldmap/csgo/live) in case you're interested. I thought this might be important to share with other community server providers. Sorry to hijack this mailing list, but I just couldn't resist ;) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
