I once saw the tip.. Put this in console "sv_cheats 1;ms_force_dedicated_server 213.206.x.x:27030"
Since my sv_search_key does not always work for some odd reason.. However as of the latest update sometimes the force dedicated doesn't work either, then I just start my server up again (or a second one, or hand the string to someone else) and then it works. So its not all flawless. You have to have your own server for this, but besides this all, you already need too since you want to kick the person that went into your team with a new level so your buddy can join again :P -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Oliver Salzburg Verzonden: zaterdag 27 december 2008 3:15 Aan: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Onderwerp: Re: [hlds_linux] sv_search_key not working It's a dedicated server. But while working on this problem right now i realized my server config files are in the wrong folder. I had them in the left4dead root. But they have to go in the cfg folder as it seems :( Sorry for the trouble.
