Hi, valve is still working on the function, that server admins can change ip addresses of gameservers without losing them in the steam favorites ...
my tip: change the servername and post the new ip address ... and add server messages, for example with mani's ad's messages, every 30 seconds, that the server is out of date and it has a new ip address ... i have done this a lot of times and it worked very well ... in css there are possibilies to pop up a dialog to ask a player if he wants to connect to another server ... but im not sure how it works, never tried that ... but a plugin could make it: check www.sourcemod.net good luck andreas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eirik Nilssen Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 3:30 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] Server redirect Hi guys, hope you can help me out here. After experiencing a lot of problems with some of our servers hosted by one of our communitys sponsors, we have decided to host them ourself. The problem is, that these servers are our most popular. Changing IP on a popular server is always risky business, so I wish to keep the old servers up a month or two, but making it redirect all traffic - with a message to the user about whats happening. Have been browsing the net all day, but all links regarding "redirect" concerns file download. All input would be gratly appreciated! Best Regards Eirik S.
