duplicated a couple of our server names, faked their slots to show as full, and

Unfortunately there is not much to do accept for reporting the IP's in
question to VALVe and hope for a full de-list on the redirect servers as
well as the servers they redirect to.
Other then that only non-legal stuff is available.
Good luck.

btw, if your servers are even remotely popular there's a good chance they're

Thanks Dan, adding -port x +tv_port x +clientport x solved the
first problem. Now I have another one. When I start the first server everything
works fine. Starting the second or the third one my server connects but it's

Hey Everyone,
I've got a few L4D servers running here at a LAN party I'm hosting and I'm
wondering if anyone knows how to disable team scramble on map changes for
L4D?
We just played a game (we'll be starting a tournament in a few hours) where
teams scrambled after we played one full round
It's a double edged sword really. In one corner you can redirect players to
another one of your servers when it's full, on the other hand...it causes
stuff like this.

Before Valve fixed the team scrambling, there was a Sourcemod plugin that
prevented it. But since they patched it and claimed to have fixed it, I
rarely notice any problems. Every now and then you'll see 1 swap, but it's
rare. I don't know if that plugin still works, but it cant hurt to look for
No idea if this helps but I run my 8 L4D servers with one
installation/folder with a config file for each server.
My start params:
-console
-game left4dead
-autoupdate
+ip **.**.**.**
-port *
-nohltv
-tvdisable
+sv_lan 0
+exec server[*].cfg
+map 'mapname'
Good luck!
It's that time again.. For me to go out and research and see if there has
been an easier way of managing/running a reserved slot program posted
anywhere.
What say you, fellow admins? What are you using, and are there
implementation instructions?
-Matt
we use 2 hidden slots + the standard reserve slots plugin for sourcemod. Then
just have players connect through console and have the server boot a
non-reserve slot player to free up the hidden slot.

Wow that server owner sounds like a complete jackass. What he is doing is a

I know that, but that won't effect a provider unless the person is buying a
server from a provider and does redirection. Most of the people that do it
are on a dynamic IP from a house or business.
I don't think it's worth it to buy a server from a provider and then use it
