So should we run a Co-Op server now and again during the week and change the difficulties?
So one week we run Small Town, running at normal one night, advanced the next and so on?
There do seem to be occassions when one server is idle.
We would need to review the server config as it always seems to try and start in Versus mode, even if you load a Co-Op level.

Ok, so given the other thread about servers, why not run a public co-op and the 2 private versus?

Then we can get people playing as a co-op team before selling them on the versus?

1. Vanilla Co-Op
2. Vanilla Versus (Public week days - Private Fri-Sun)
3. Vanilla + custom maps (Private)

Hear hear! Splendid idea. We need a place for recruitment. I say go go go. Tell that Whitey to get a move on. ;)

I think that three servers might be a bit much? Mostly this week we've had one full and one empty server. It only seems to be on weekends when both get used?

How about one public vanilla Co-Op Mon-Sat, converting to private custom maps on Sun, and one private Versus?

I'll bring up a co-op Public server over the weekend. Any suggestions for the name?

Whilst you're at it we need to change the name, restart, then change again to claim ownership on Gametracker.
Can you give me a shout on MSN at some point and we can do it? ta.

We can't do it until Valve fix the current browsing issue as it affects Gametracker as well. I've already tried to claim the server but Gametracker doesn't see it.

Public co-op server up and running on cs.deadmen.co.uk:27031.

advertisements are running but we may want to change the frequency.
How do we want the steamgroup/search_key set?
