I have never used the search key because I was never able to get it working consistently. I run 3 forks only with Sourcemod and I have really no problem at all. With Steamgroup exclusive set, I never have to deal with random people starting a game on my servers and while using the lobby and ms_force_dedicated_server to play on my servers, I always have random people not attached to the Steamgroup joining the server once the game has started. It just works the way I want it to.
Here is my command line parameters: ./srcds_run -fork 3 -game left4dead +map l4d_farm01_hilltop +ip 0.0.0.0 -port 27094+## -netconport 90## -netconpassword Secret!!! -autoupdate +exec server##.cfg -nohltv > l4d.log & (Note that I have log rotate to handle the log file rotation so it doesn't get huge.) Here is server01.cfg: hostname My Server Name rcon_password "Secret!!!" sv_steamgroup 12345 sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 sv_pure 2 server02.cfg and server03.cfg are pretty much the same. I know many people set sv_cheats 0 and a bunch of other things but I always thought that configuring a default setting to default was a monumental waste of time and space. I never experienced those bugs were on map change the game was supposed to be in Versus but is in COOP or vice-versa since the game mode is set by the lobby upon connection and not by config. All that is needed really, is a drop box that allows us to select a Steamgroup server to launch the lobby on instead of having to type the IP in the console every time. -- Ravnox On Wed, 22 Apr 2009 10:56:14 -0500 William Korb <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Steven, > > For those of us struggling with getting this type of arrangement to > work would you be willing to post sanitized versions of your > server.cfg files so we can see a config that works?
