I'm saying that your case is one we're going to solve, but having a mixed setup is more difficult.
Part of getting this demo out ahead of time was to see what kinds of concerns server administrators had, and we hear what you are all saying. We have our hands a bit full right now, but we're all talking about what we're going to do to make running a game server something that is worth it for you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 10:49 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Left 4 Dead -Matchmaking I would like to have a passworded server(s) where i would only let people in from the community that i run. I would post the password into irc-channel, website, forums or similiar where people could see it and join in. Why is this so impossible to make? Match making isnt required for this purpose at all and there is no need to fill up the remaining slots. Why there cannot be an option for favorite servers where to play on? -ics Erik Johnson kirjoitti: > We're going to add support for what you describe, it just isn't something > that is done just yet. > > The case that will be difficult if not impossible to deal with will be a > mixed system, where you have a private "clan server" for you and a friend, > and you want two other public players to come in via matchmaking. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark - hlds > list > Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 10:25 AM > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Left 4 Dead -Matchmaking > > Joseph Laws wrote: > >> Then I hope VALVe likes hosting all servers themselves.
