That's what a wiki is for. Valve has a wiki for their SDK. They just need one for hlds. Currently, documentation to run servers is rather scarce, nonexistent or non-official.
For example, if you wanted to run L4D with forks, where do you currently get your information? You Google it. The result comes back to this list or to a Steam forum post about a user who was nice enough to post some information about it. Who's keeping this information up to date on the forum? That's where a wiki would be useful. One central area to find valid information about running hlds. I wasn't happy at all with how L4D was released for us server admins. Many of us spent countless hours doing guessing work to figure out options like netconport, forks, multiple server configs, etc. This could have been avoided with a wiki from Valve. I hope they learned something from how L4D was released so that this does not happen with their next major release. Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a rant about L4D. We need the mailing list for current and new issues and we need a wiki to document configuration parameters, installation procedure, known bugs, etc. -- Ravnox On Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:05:56 +0100 Imre Facchin <[email protected]> wrote: > we could start documenting solutions and faqs from the mailing list > in some sort of CMS so that valve has something for their forums > documentation section ... > > but probably nobody would write anything there _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
