hl2dm servers

[joepjens]

Hello.

1st off all i want to make clear that I don't have problems with ping or anything like that.

But all the servers are spam servers. All more than 10 players wich results that you can't even spawn without someone fighting there or someone camping with a rocket launcher (wich happens every game the whole game).

The maps that where released now are not made for so many people. If you like to have a skillfull game (i am sorry but 12 player on these maps are just spam and result in luck > skill) than make the servers for 4 players, maybe 6 but certainly not more.

I am not able to find any 4 player servers, otherwise you woulden't have seen this post. I am just saying and hoping that maybe some people understand what I mean and maybe some server admins make there server 4 player.

You can say I should get my own server etc. Well, I currently don't have the funds to run a server. Believe me, because otherwise I would have don that.

I expect to get some flames, since you get that with most games if you like a competetive way of playing somewhat. But please, be smart and don't flame, I just state my opinion, wich I am entitled to. If you don't agree, don't bother to post or explain why you think it's not an issue.

Anyway, I am happy we have hl2dm after all.

I've played on a 14 player server and never found it that bad. I wouldn't recommend any more than that, but I think 14 is a good limit for the lockdown map at least. I still haven't tried the other one as the fast servers seem really busy and I just take what I can get.

CillerW sorry i dont know how to help you.

SonicTitan, maybe you like it and I respect that. So ofcourse not all the servers should switch to 4 players, but just a few because I know multiple people who would like to play the same way I do.

nm..i figured it out..

do this:

create a new cfg file called servermode.cfg in your C:\Program\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\*your name*\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg

add this:
hostname "Your server name here"
mp_forcerespawn 0
mp_teamplay 1
mp_timelimit 20
mp_weaponstay 1
mp_allowspectators 1.0
mp_friendlyfire 0
mp_flashlight 1
mp_footsteps 0
mp_fraglimit 0
maxplayers 10 (or less..i recommend 8)
sv_lan 0
net_start
map dm_lockdown (or dm_overwatch)

Start up HL2 dm and in console type exec servermode

voila..its up and running..

i need to know how to have map rotation though... and maxping.

No, I agree with you. I'd like to see some smaller servers too, i just don't think that maps are too small for 14 players. You could be right, maybe I just do ok on them by being a jammie swine.

I will spawn one now, look for Core-Digital.co.uk - Public 2

you guys gotta support us admins that make the good servers, i just got my server (was cod before),

i played maybe 15 minutes before i crossed that bazooka off the list, you can you disable it can't you? that weapon is no fun, it built for single or two use but if you can sit on weapon forget about it

can't you slow down the respawn timer on the weapons?

other than the bazooka tdm with 8 players was goin great on a server

i NEEEEEED config settings for server, i'm having trouble finding one cause i've been all cod the last year

i need map rotation too, you guys include that in autoexec or is it seperate?

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
