Starting Tuesday October 04, 2016, this community now has two new L4D1 servers for members of the Steam group:

• Community Server #1: 45.63.116.210:27015, aka Black Magic
• Community Server #2: 45.63.116.210:27016, aka Doll and Needle

Both servers are running off a standard and as-vanilla-as-possible Source Dedicated Server on a single Virtual Private Server hosted in Vultr's cloud.

For the time being, two features are still missing/untested:

• spectator slots
• chat commands (!join, !spec…)

If anyone has knowledge of how to implement these or has some pointers, I'd appreciate your sharing the info.

Console command or autoexec.cfg entry:

    mm_dedicated_force_servers 45.63.116.210:27015, 45.63.116.210:27016

You'll notice a new server banner, but the MOTD points back at this website, just like before.

The server (the machine) runs no other service than these dedicated L4D servers. Therefore, the performance and stability should be good. Moreover, I've chosen to put the server in Frankfurt, Germany, due to that site being more central in Europe than other sites offered by the cloud computing provider.

Please test and report any problems to me.

Enjoy!
