Most likely they'll simply be handled the same way they are now - excluded from quickplay...which is a shame, really - they should simply allow have separate "opt out" checkboxes for custom maps and custom game modes, and let folks decided to opt out of seeing them, instead of essentially hiding

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

First off this system has literally nothing to do with quickplay so I don't understand people making comments about it. This system is a tracking system to ban anyone who Valve feels is being abusive, using quick play or not. I don't know anyone who runs custom game play servers and also runs

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

While I'd like to confidently say that there's nothing to be worried about, I think we all need an official response on how custom modes should be handled so that we can put this to rest quickly, and stop any doubts from spreading. I just hope that Valve doesn't pull something really stupid

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

While they're at it, the quickplay rules need some TLC/updating as well. One thing that comes to mind is that one of the things still listed as a "Modification not allowed in Quickplay" is "Enforcing class limits", however (unless something changed that I'm unaware of) class limit voting was

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

There is an excellent chance that anything that can or might, at vales discretion, impact micro transactions will be banned. If you are flagged, even on passworded, private test servers, your account will be permanently banned from hosting any games that require GSLT in the future. Lets not

Do I need to point out that in CS:GO, your server doesn't show up in the server browser if you don't have a GSLT? So yes, there are reasons to be concerned. On 5/13/2016 4:16 PM, N-Gon wrote: Unless you guys are abusing quickplay on your custom gamemode servers I don't see a problem On Fri,

CSGO is a very different game. You fallaciously assume that the possibility of banning custom gamemodes in TF2 guarantees that valve will, in fact, ban them. On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 4:13 PM, Alex Kowald wrote: > Some other concerns I had about how Valve handled GSLT tokens

Custom gamemodes or anything that changes the gameplay experience, don't belong in quickplay to be honest anyway. IMO, people should be able to sign up their server for this system with their custom gamemodes, as long they turn off quickplay too, favorites being tied to a server steamid as opposed

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

Some other concerns I had about how Valve handled GSLT tokens in CS:GO: 1. Clients can only connect to servers with valid GSLT. 2. Item drops being limited to GSLT servers. 3. Arbitrary reporting system that bans servers for modifying economy items. (Valve has taken steps to clear this up,

Maybe it isn't a worry for you if you are running completely vanilla quick play servers. However, for someone like myself who runs custom game modes it's very troubling. For example if they start banning TF2Items based plugins or custom player skins. If you saw what happened in CS:GO with the mass

Re: [hlds] TF2 - Upcoming game server account requirements

I think this would be more of a Quickplay thing, to be honest. Valve's made exceptions in the past for custom modes, back when they purposefully broke a plugin which allowed users to wear hats they didn't own. On 13/05/2016 21:06, Ross Bemrose wrote: CS:GO bans servers that change weapons

CS:GO bans servers that change weapons around. This would kill a LOT of custom game modes, such as Vs. Saxton Hale, Randomizer, and PropHunt. To name 3. On 5/13/2016 4:03 PM, Chase McIntyre wrote: How does this worry you? What exactly is your argument? On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 4:00 PM, A
