[SOLVED] Complete server.cfg Left 4 Dead

[greatmamut]

Somebody have one complete server.cfg (all the vars more used)
One complete SERVER.CFG with much vars what play OK in L4D...

Can post it here and share it with us?

Thanks!

Generaly you don't need most the cvars. Most of them are cheats or debug tools.
This what I use to our servers, with a few changes for the versus servers. And even some of this is un-needed.

NOTE: If you want to set a difficulty, do it in autoexec.cfg, NOT config.cfg. Because if a lobby connects on say expert, but your server has normal in config.cfg, they will play the first map on expert and then the config.cfg will be re-run by the server and it will change them down to normal for the second map.

Also note: cvars and config files are not platform specific, so srcds Windows is really the wrong place for this, srcds General would have been better.

Edit: I just read in another thread that the fixed tick rate is 30, not 60 as I thought. So the rates are a bit higher than they need be in this config.
Edit2: sv_clearhinthistory removed from config, it's not actualy a cvar, see my reply lower down for description: http://forums.srcds.com/viewpost/63339#pid63339

Xander may I ask you to do something?

Can you make a description of what these those:

Code:

sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
sv_steamgroup 415582
sv_steamgroup_exclusive 0
sv_search_key "mogaming"
sv_tags "mo#"
sv_gametypes "coop"

[pengy]

Code:

sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0                    //Controls if people can connect via ip or not
sv_steamgroup 415582                              // The group that this server is bound to
sv_steamgroup_exclusive 0                         // Only members from group above may join
sv_search_key "mogaming"                       // What people enter in to search for the server
sv_tags "mo#"                                     // Tags (What mods and stuff)
sv_gametypes "coop"                           // What type of server

[realchamp]

Thanks, Pengy

[pengy]

[realchamp]

Yeah on the forums right?

[pengy]

Ya, didn't copy and paste

[realchamp]

Okay.

It will be in the Smart Installer program.

I will released a new version with some fixes: Version 1.2.1.

Do you have a server.cfg for GarrysMod?

[greatmamut]

I can't understand the meaning of sv_clearhinthistory and sv_logecho.
I have read the description of the variable but i can't understand.

Thanks!

I have a copy of someone elses they posted on the forum a while ago, but never got round to making a garrys mod server as our main dedi's full and also the only windows box we have (GMOD currently doesn't have linux binaries).

This contains only a few of the cvars, non of the limitation variables, but I imagine the command to echo all cvars works in garrysmod like anyother source engine. Hope this helps some what:

Code:

// Shell Shock Default Server Config
hostname "Shell Shock GMOD Server"

rcon_password ""
sv_password ""

// Shell Shock Variables
ss_playerspeed 260    // Default player runspeed

ss_respawn_time 1   // Delay before respawn time (seconds)
sv_hl2mp_weapon_respawn_time 30  // Weapon/ammo/entity respawn delay (seconds)
// ss_shotgun_single_damage 30 // Single barrel shotgun damage; default = 30
// ss_shotgun_double_damage 50 // Double barrel shotgun damage; default = 50

// Shell Shock Spawn Player Variables
ss_gravitygun 1    // 1=players spawn with gravity gun, 0=do not
ss_melee 1    // 1=players spawn with crowbar/stunstick, 0=do not

sv_clearhinthistory is actualy a command to to clear hint history, those little hints the game gives you to help you out when your new. If you clear them, then its like the first time playing. This includes that description of how to play the different infected classes you get first time you play one, and the like. So um... yeah that souldn't be in as a cvar, sorry guys

sv_logecho weilds a simular result as using "Get Log" in HLSD, in that it echos all information it logs, such as damage and spawns, to console. Default value is 1, giving you lots of information in you console about your players, but I turn it off just to keep it tidy.
