@ ics...thank you! The problem some admins are having is relinquishing traditional server control for lobby-generated control. I'm fine with it as long as the relationship(s) are understood between the cvars. Granted, some of the functionality is changing from release to release, but hey, we're used to that! I only wanted a means to audit the settings I set.
Is there a comprehensive document on the Steam/L4D2 lobby system? @ gameadmin...I'm trying to grasp the big picture since L4D2's release. The more I understand the better I can prepare for the future. With L4D we could skip some of the cvars that yielded unpredictable results (tags vs lobby listing, etc), but those days are over. And yes, I may glean some status info directly to trigger our server monitoring system. --Kerry On Nov 23, 2009, at 2:29 PM, Shane Arnold wrote: > That's what we are saying.
