Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Update Available
I'm not sure if that was an attempt at sarcasm or not, but you still have to update your client and server before you can, no matter what day of the week it is.

[hlds] [L4D] Players intentionally lagging server
Just a few minutes ago, we started a versus game, and this person asked if we wanted to see some lag. They then proceeded to make the game extremly lagging, and then we all got disconnected. Boxxy : Don't make me ruin this game Boxxy : k 1 sex Boxxy : Feel that lag? Boxxy : Yeah Boxxy : You like that Profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998375660 Not sure what they did to cause everyone in the game to lag out. Anyone else have this happen to them or their server. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] L4D Bugs
Can you confirm any of this? When a player is in the yellow or red, they run slower, the tank doesn't run faster. I don't think hosting the game locally changes any cvars for the amount of infected spawning, but I could be wrong.

Re: [hlds] [l4d] sv_steamgroup_exclusive
I think it is working as intended. If I remember correctly 1 was supposed to make it where the first person that joined had to be in the steamgroup, but once that person joined, the public could join. Either Valve said or someone suggested have another option as 2 and setting it where everyone that joined had to be in the steamgroup.

Re: [hlds] External/Public IP, NATing firewall
I am running a l4d demo server and have dyndns running because I have a
dynamic IP address. When the server starts it assigns it a local IP e.g.
192.168.1.xxx. I can have people connect to my server using my dynamic dns
name just fine. e.g. test.gotdns.com.

Re: [hlds] Status
It seems like they could integrate the matchmaking and the server browser. Have the lobby leader click search for game and it could come up a list of all servers that are within a certain latency range. The host could then click on one and have the whole team join it. That way people who have certain servers they like can still join them, and people who don't care what server they join could still have the function of join a random server through the matchmaker. A server browser not associated with the matchmaking system would still be a nice addon for people that don't want to join a lobby and then a game. 2008/11/12 Jake Skenna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Erik has already explained what valve is doing and why they are doing it. > They are not changing it because you don't like matchmaking.

Re: [hlds] Stop lobby connections?
I have "setmaster disable" without the quotes on my server and it doesn't seem to show up for lobby people, the only ones who join are direct IP thru console.

Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers
"Most of the files for the Left 4 Dead Demo Dedicated Server are now available. This is basically a preload for the Demo dedicated server, as we have not released all the binaries required to run a server just yet. So if you would like to run a server use the game parameter of "l4d_demo" from hldsupdatetool."
