Yep, but it isnt working as it should imho... I would rather see them using countrycode's or timezones... countrycodes ofcourse are only working best in the parts of the world where the country are quite small... ie. europe. the other way and use the timezones are more interesting... The client is already set at the current timezone. The server is probably set to the correct timezone too, so setting a cvar with the registered timezone should not be too hard... Most of the users is using other tools to list servers. ie hlsw or ase... /Bjorn -- There is a cow on my lawn... brb. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
