Is there some sort of parameter in Hammer that I can add to hide my test GE:S maps from the general public when I go to playtest them? Right now, when I test a map, anyone can see my server and connect to it... which is bad for a number of reasons because they're not ready to play a decent game on, and because I'm using a lot of custom textures that aren't compiled in the BSP.

sv_lan 1 in your cfg/listenserver.cfg. Adding "+sv_lan 1" to your game launch options (when compiling, click advanced) might work, although if cfg/listenserver.cfg sets sv_lan 0 it will probably end up 0.

You could try making a config file e.g. cfg/hammer.cfg, then adding "+servercfgfile hammer.cfg" to your launch options. I'm not sure if that's an option for a listen server, or for GE:S, but if it works it will completely bypass your cfg/listenserver.cfg.

Uncheck 'Run game after compiling' in your compiler options. Just launch the game manually and create a server, it will be private by default.
