Zozo is hacking it for sure. You can only add groups up to a specific amount before you get a gamedata error followed by a delisting problem. The string has a limit just like sv_tags has one.

I'm sure zozo has cracked this limit so they can add add an infinite number of groups. Zozo is also promoting game piracy

It becomes part of sv_tags.

Not a fan of this, but check this out and see if it helps your cause. These stupid idiots have made it hard to get a group going on steam.

You're basing that on the output of sv_showtags, right? It gets added to the private sv_tags, yes.

So you might as well reveal how we can crack the cvar limit of tags+steamgroups.

That's the internal Steam function for setting the search key and group data.

Normally, the engine limits the output to 1070 bytes due to limitations with the legacy master server, which is no longer relevant. The function and Steam backend do allow up to 2048 characters for this (with each group taking up five characters, plus the length of the group id, plus one for the comma on all but one). Ex. "grp:123456i,grp:123457i,grp:123458i,key:myse archkey2151".

Calling it directly bypasses the engine's limit, however it would be tricky to do directly from Sourcepawn since the SteamWorks extension does not expose it (but it would be trivial to add to that).

With luck, they'll eventually just remove that panel that shows group servers. The implementation is awful, as this thread proves.

Ok, so the native needs to be added to steamworks (and the person who made it is no longer active on these forums, yay).

SetGameData( const char *pchGameData).

I still don't understand what string value to put in here. SetGameData("grp:123456i,grp:123457i,grp:1234 58i,key:myse archkey2151") ?

Btw. they don't need luck. Workshop mod will take care of everything.

Why not use the mainline version instead of an ancient L4D2 specific fork that's years behind?

I'm not using the fork. Setgamedata is not implemented into the latest version as psychonic put it?
