In the next server update, the "+##" syntax (or +2*##, etc) works everywhere on the command line. Currently, it only works on a couple of port arguments such as netconsoleport (the bare string subsitution of ## _does_ currently work everywhere, just not the expression evaluation syntax).

I tried launching a forked server but I have not been able to get it to work. Here is the command line I'm using for my test: ./srcds_run \ -game left4dead \ +map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment \ +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx \ +clientport 27005+## \ +hostport 27015+## \ -steamport 27690+## \ +matchmakingport 27025+## \ +systemlinkport 27035+## \ +sv_lan 0 \ +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 \ +exec server.cfg \ -nomaster \ -noauth \ -autoupdate \ -debug \ -fork 4 The server seems to be starting up, but quickly reaches a point where it just prints this message repeatedly: got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 got status map=l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment;players=0 I am not able to type anything into the console and I have to kill the server with CTRL-C. I think someone else reported this problem to the list a little while ago. Any ideas?
