I just posted here wondering if I'd be able to setup a dedicated server on one of my shunned computators with a dynamic external IP (the one at whatismyip.com) without it being lost from the favourites list? BTW I'm running this as a Counter-Strike: Source server.
Right now, if I set the -ip flag in the shortcut/batch file to launch SRCDS to the LAN IP (192.168.xxx.xxx) it's able to connect to the steam servers and it shows up in the "Internet" tab in the Steam Servers, for me, don't know if it does for anyone else ATM. But if I restart the router, it gives the server a new external IP. What I'm wondering is because the external IP changes, would this remove the server from a player's Favourite list? Is there a workaround for this?
If I set the -ip flag to the external IP (whatismyip.com). It does the same thing, but I'd have to constantly change that -ip flag to match the dynamic external IP. Giving me the same problem.
If I don't include the -ip flag, it acts the same way as if the -ip flag were set to the LAN IP.
Oh, incase you need it, here's my full command list thingy:
-console -game cstrike -ip 192.168.xxx.xxx -port 27015 -tickrate 66 +map surf_buck-wild -maxplayers 14
I'm rather poor at explaining things so I hope you got what I meant without getting tooo lost. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
