So came across this cvar which i really think we should implement. I know we dont have a CL for this server yet so just posting this here so whoever has access can make the change.
Go to the server.cfg and enter
sv_steamgroup 25672
sv_steamgroup_exclusive 0
sv_search_key wcug
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
add +sv_search_key “wcug” to the set Launch Options for L4D in FireDaemon or whatever is launching the server now days
gives members of our steam group a way to see our server/s and lobby it
see SS below for what the lobby screen will now look like. Everyone can now straight join our servers from the lobby. and since their is no “server list” like in 1.6/cs:s this is the only way (other than having ppl remember our server ip and typing it in every time in consul) to have people join our server other than the random mach making being dumped on a random server.

Type “openserverbrowser” from console and you get the server list, complete with favorites and all the other community and friend based joining options that CSS and TF2 have.
It would be cool to have that but I’ve found that the majority of their new “features” to be extremely buggy, especially anything that touches the L4D autojoin system. Might want to test this before turning it on and walking away.
oh sweet,, need to try that.. wonder why they dont have a button to click for the openserverbrowser.
ne ways, i still this this would be a good addition, and its really easy to do. This as been a feature since beta BTW, it did have some buggs, they were reported fixed, but then again its steam.
is anyone looking into it? thoughts?
As hardcore as some of those bugs were (all is more like it) I wouldn’t count on the system, especially when I can just add the server to a favorites list.
If Liam feels up to it go for testing it. He hasn’t really been in the mood to do a whole lot of the server lately so it may have to wait until either me or Mike get access to make server changes.
