The hostname is fine. But some of can't control the reverse lookup name. It would be great to have a cvar we can set to the name to use to connect to me.
Like this: sv_hostname=myserver.com:27016 Then have the favorites save the sv_hostname and not the IP address. } -----Original Message----- } From: [email protected] [mailto:hlds_linux- } [email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael RISBY } Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 5:38 PM } To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list } Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] IPv6 Support } } ' Obviously running an advertisement in game to say "Please join } [2006:fe32::0123::f032]:27015 for another great game!" is out of the } question...
