I am currently in the process of making my own public versus LINUX server with 10 slots (2 spectators) and I came across some problems that even after reading the whole Internet, I am not able to fix alone.
I would kindly like to request your assistance with any of the following issues:
1) Random players stop joining after some time.
2) Is there a way to have more than 8 random players joining?
Often, there are admins in spectator. Is it possible to either make those slots not count to the official 8 limit of players or to have random players join even when the server reaches 8/10 players?
3) No lobby leaders / lobby should not be specified to any region.
Is it possible to force a change lobby leader in a progressing game? as I am from Asia and when I connect to the server first, no random players join as if it was available only for my region. Looking for a way to go around that.
I am using these plugins/extensions to support these ideas:
L4DToolZ and
Unreserve lobby
If anyone would like to work together to try to solve similar issue, let me know.
Any suggestions or ideas that would put me on the right track will be highly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
