My main concern with Left 4 Dead servers is serveroperators who set up custom plugins. There should be a tag on all servers with plugins, so you don’t end up playing on one of those.
One night I ended up on playing on one of Multiplay.co.uk servers, which had a !ready plugin installed. Noone on my team understood that they had to type !ready to start, and everyone left. (they tried to type 'type !ready' a few times though, lol). What I am asking for here, is something familiar to the Team Fortress 2 custom server flag. -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne av Eric Riemers Sendt: 13. februar 2009 14:35 Til: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Emne: Re: [hlds_linux] Tf2/l4d updates? Most just want the server browser back, mostly because of "advertising your clan/company?" to make a name. I only play on tf2 server which are crowded, which i know. Nobody wants to join a no-name 0 players servers. *but i dont think that will solve it* Both are not sufficient in there work, server browser does not offer stuff like the lobby does and visa versa. Its more a flaw which does not really has a correct sollution. I mean the issues i spoke of, i wont know how to solve those kind of issues. Overall i'am ok with how it is now, but there is still room for improvement.
