Password the server?

At the moment the server is open to all but this may restrict RID members being able to get a place to play with each other.

Beyond having to kick randoms off each time, and opening admin open to everyone (which is an arse-ache), maybe (for now) we should password the server?

Or do you guys prefer having the option of randoms to play with when others aren't online?

I'm looking into options of having reserved slots for RID members but as the servers have only just started there are limited options at present.

So should we password? :unsure:

I've decided to go ahead and password the server anyway for now. The game is so new that open public servers fill up very quickly so this way we can guarantee that RIDers have their own place to play whenever they want.

I have posted the password in the Community board.

Not sure if it's been properly done so if you manage to join without being asked for a password, or see any uninvited randoms in there, let me know.

yeah, it asks for a password but you can enter anything in the box and it will still let you in

Ok, it's been confirmed that passwording your server will not currently work as there are still bugs that valve has to work out and release an admin plug-in for server managers.

I hope they do this soon but if it's not out in the next couple of weeks then I'll come up with another solution so you guys can kick public out when you want to have a RID-only game (coz I'm getting tired of doing it :P ).

Stay tuned...

Quick server update:

* Versus mode now works and I have created a seperate profile for it. The server also accepts 8 players (something we had probs with on sunday).

* Passwording still doesn't work but I've done soemthing to remove the server from public view so no randoms should occupy. Let me know if you see any.

* SLAG has basic server admin so if I'm not about and you need anyone kicked to make space then ask him. He should also be able to change the server from campaign to versus (Slag can you confirm).

That's all for now.
