Hi,

for all SourceOP Servers the player counter in the connection box is incorrect:

Ya it's always done that as far as I've seen. Never lower than 20 shown in the game, even if it's empty.

DF is the reason why the steampowered kiddies rage against fake playerslots

1) Nobody seeds empty servers.
2) It's not cheating if everyone else is doing it.
3) I'm working on changing it so that it doesn't fake stupid amounts of players (i.e. no faking 25 while zero are on).
4) I'm open to alternatives/input/feedback.

how about a week of downtime, we DDoS all servers with a fake player count, and we go back to normal.

I'd rather have the fake player count than empty SourceOP servers.

Wow, that made my brain hurt...

If there were a stupidity filter, that thread would be about 2 pages long instead of 26.

i agree, but i dont think SourceOP *needs* to fake it's player count, as it is generally always high population

that being said, i also dont *care*

arguing over server configuration ethics is laaammee

(not saying anyone in this thread is doing it, but DAMN are they ever in that thread df linked to)
