Re: [hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
Somewhat relevant: I've often wondered if there was a way to implement a clan tag setting in TF2 and other games' config, like in CS:S in the Multiplayer menu... that way I won't have to worry about having the clan tag in my Steam name, and it won't show up doubled in CS:S.

Re: [hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
As long as the steamgroups work as they do with certain id number that ANYONE can dig up with a little work and add to their server configs, it's a pointless feature. Right now l4D/L4D2 players get a bunch of servers if they belong to official or popular groups along the real steamgroup servers because adding a group id into server config is so easy and some people feel no shame and are not afraid of abuse it. If steamcommunity would have a tab of allowed server ip/port in steamgroup settings, it would work as it should. Not like this that if you know an id of steamgroup, it's all in and allowed. -ics - Alkuperäinen viesti - Somewhat relevant: I've often wondered if there was a way to implement a clan tag setting in TF2 and other games' config, like in CS:S in the Multiplayer menu... that way I won't have to worry about having the clan tag in my Steam name, and it won't show up doubled in CS:S.

Re: [hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
I'm against this unless it's somehow secured. I would not want other servers using my steam group id. What I would like is the ability to list game servers on the steam groups page, and then the client downloads all of the servers from the groups they are in. - Voogru.

Re: [hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
I would prefer it this way as well. But yes, I'd love to specify steamgroup
servers for my steam groups. But seeing it on the other foot I would not
want random steamgroups adding my server either. So maybe allow a user to
specify a keyword or something in the server.cfg that also has to exist in
the steam group. And if you want to be able to list a server in multiple
steam groups, allow multiple keywords.
I would also like that tag option to be implemented in all of the games
supported by Valve as well. It's all or nothing honestly. I'm not going to
use the feature if I'm going to end up with double tags because I don't have
the option to specify the tags in another game.

Re: [hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
The steam group listing IP/ports could be if you kept the existing secret
key too. Right now its trivial for a server to claim its in a steam group,
but the server still has to make that claim. All that is needed is a 2nd
method for a steam group to claim a server. If BOTH the server and the
steam group claims eachother, then the client can list it.
Can't do just a one-way check between a server and a steam group, it needs
to be both ways.

[hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
Hey Valve, Is there any chance of getting these tags for CS:S / TF2 servers? It would greatly help users find the servers related to the steam groups they are in? Is there any plan to add the convar for orangebox or was there a specific reason it was not included?
