I'm wondering what the recommended setup is currently for setting up a steam group server for L4D. I'm currently running 4 forks with 4 separate config files. 2 of the instances are steam group servers and 2 are public.
The public servers seem perfectly fine, but the question is about the steam group servers. They both "start up" as coop (as opposed to versus) servers that you just join. If I want to play coop, it's not a big deal since I can join and vote a different campaign, difficulty, etc. Now, here are my questions. Is there a way that I can make one of the steam group servers a versus only server? Can I override the "+map" setting from the command line in my server.cfg file as well as the mapcycle file? Second, is there a way to make it so that I can just connect to the steam group servers via a normal lobby? I've posted both my command-line startup and one of the server_##.cfg files for the steam group server below for reference to what I'm currently doing.
