Possible Digibutter TF2 Server revival

Now that TF2 is free to play it is very possible that we are going to see a major influx of new players in the coming weeks. That being the case, I think it is likely that keeping a full server will become much easier soon, which may be warrant enough for me to take another crack at hosting a Digibutter TF2 server.

This woudl be a server that is customized to what you guys what, that means I need suggestions for maps, mods, and player limit. Player limit is going to be most important because if you guys want some kind of crazy 32 man server I'm not going to be able to pay for it myself.

Of course, all veteran Digi member would get priority access along with any donators we happen to pick up if the server would go down that route, though ideally I'd like to just pay for it myself and keep it at that.

So yeah, discuss.

This isn't a thread asking me to do it, I'm only going to do it if there is a massive amount of new players.
I need to know what kind of server to make if I do make one.

Stick to mainly non-custom maps, and try to keep the player amount no more than 18 players. Oh and if you can find it download that payload mod that turns the cart into a horse.

Stay away from the custom stuff unless it's good, and no more than 18 players for the sake of my computer.

Digibutter-hosted & advertised TF2 server, Francis? That'd be the best thing ever.

Here is a basic guide: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/5439

Really once the actual server is up everything else is editing a text file.

server up. "digi.vg" currently its 12 player, default settings as far as I know
Reply by Francis Jun 24 2011 18:21 GMT
francis you need to make like a window or pocket thing up on the top of the site so that people coming here can see we have a tf2 server and if its online or not. wouldn't be that hard to do either.

This should be an idling server.
With designated times to play with everyone.

>idling servers
I miss when Valve would *crag* up the drop rates and suddenly actually playing was a way of getting items
But then they fix them, and nowadays they will probably be extra careful on the drop rates since all their TF2 profit is from weapon and hat microtransactions

There were about 8-11 people on there just now and there was a small amount of choppiness due to lag. On the upside, I don't think we'll have trouble getting activity to the server. (Perhaps a link to Digibutter should be present somewhere on the server?)

Does anybody know if there is a plugin that allows admins to set user permissions based on whether or not a user is in a certain steam group? If so, we could set it up so people in the Digibutter group get priority access to server slots.

how do you advertise something in a server?

I guess I'll start checking this out now.
Loading Steam for the first time in forever and hoping it doesn't go "DIE PIRATE" at me.

@Francis: You could edit motd.txt to include some information about the site (it supports HTML so it could possibly be made to look like Digibutter itself), and I believe there are some plugins that cycle messages to players during gameplay.
Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jun 25 2011 20:47 GMT

Also, this might be handy for adding a server status icon to the site.

Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jun 25 2011 20:58 GMT

MOTD is in C:\srcds\cstrike\motd.txt Replace the default part

<head>
<title>digi.vg TF2 Server</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://www.digi.vg">
</head>

This directly embeds the site into TF2.

Any chance of increasing server size to 18 or 24?
