Are you like me, in the way that, you port foward, sv_lan 0, even put yourself in the DMZ and no matter what, you're server just won't show in the server list?
Note: This worked, but now doesn't... Real strange.
Well I've been cursed by that for months and whilst I was playing around with the HLDS, I did something wrong, the server went up but never showed in the list... UNTILL I added the msc.bat Thothie says to make, when I ran the dedicated server like that, it showed up in the list but I couldn't connect to it. So I thought, why not apply the same sort of idea to a listenserver.... So I went to my C:/blahblah/steamapps/email/half-life folder and created this little .bat. It's nothing impressive either, it's a copy and paste of Thothies with a slight change.
Basicaly make a text document, and put this inside:
start hl.exe -insecure -game msc +maxplayers 6 -port 27016 -noipx -console +map edana
Note: I'm not sure if the listenserver.cfg overwrites the max players set here, but set youre stuff here to how you want, even change the starting map if you really want.
Rename you're new text file to whatever you want, but change the .txt to .bat. Double click the bat, it will go a bit slow, and take a minute or two, but after a while you'll be put into the game on a normal listenserver, but this time, it's in the list, well it is for me anyway
Update: Ok my server just suddenly disapeared, but it was there cos Humansteak connected by it lol...
Update 2: Now I can't get it back in the list... Really weird why this worked once for about 5 minutes...
