Question

How can we create a lobby AND stay on the SunLit servers?

Answer

The SunLit Mall server has the sv_search_key enabled To create a lobby 1. Start up L4D. 2. Go to console, enter sv_search_key slzm. Close Console 3. Select Play Campaign or Play Versus 4. Select Play with Friends (if you're trying to get all your friends into the lobby first before adding more people) 5. Create Lobby 6. Select type (Campaign or Versus) 7. Set options then click Create Lobby 8. Have your friends join 9. Select Permissions, set to Public Game 10. Wait for others to join 11. Once it's full, hit start game. You won't be able to start the game in versus mode unless there are 2 players in the lobby. You will then be assigned to your dedicated server(s) with the same key. 12. To switch game modes requires a return to the Main Menu. Repeat steps 2 - 11. The new game will start from the lobby and still at your server **UPDATE April 26, 2010*** sv_search_key is working again Please add the following to your autoexec.cfg bind "key" "sv_search_key slzm" You can also connect to a SunLit lobby by using the following: Left 4 Dead bind "key" "mm_dedicated_force_servers 69.90.119.182:27055,69.90.119.182:27065" Left 4 Dead 2 bind "key" "mm_dedicated_force_server 69.90.119.182:27015,69.90.119.182:27025,69.90.119.182:27035"
