tf2 server not showing up on master list
#1
Hello I just bought a server from artofwarcentral.com, a dedicated TF2 server based in virginia. For some reason, it's not showing up in the master server list, and it's been up 2 days now, and not a single person but me has joined it, because no one can find it, I'm guessing. The server name starts with an "A", and when I browse for games and sort the list by server name, I go to the "A's" but my server isn't there. Yes, I have disabled all filters from my server browser that would take it off my list.

Anyone know what's wrong? I tried adding the heartbeat command to my server.cfg but it doesn't seem to have helped.


my server's IP is 64.34.201.166, if anyone wants to /connect to it and see if everything's working OK.
my cvar server.cfg is at the bottom of this post.

also while we are at it, I minds well ask this. What kind of special character can I place in the name of my server to make it appear near the top of the list?

This server here:
http://www.game-monitor.com/tf2_GameServer/64.34.181.200:27015/_Doorman_is_God__247_2Fort_HLstatsX.html
is always at the top of the TF2 list when you sort it by name. If you go to their website here:
http://doormanisgod.com/
you can see in the server name that there is some squares or something that don't show up in the game. Any idea how I can do that with my server?

Then it shows up, problems solved.
If you want it in the internet tab either remove your custom tags OR find a mod to clear the tags. It's built into BM and there is a plugin for sourcemod.

Hmm, I'm confused though. The only 'custom' thing on my server is sourcemod. But I've joined sourcemod servers before that were on the internet tab.

How do I clear my tags?

What Mooga said, download the plugin for sourcemod to remove it.

Ok I got it showing up in the master list now thanks to the plugins.

Now, what can I do to get more people to my server? The most I've had so far is 4 people at once.
