Checking GES server status' out-of-game?

(1/3) > >>

Infinitee44:
Hey, new member here - thanks for the opportunity presented in this most perfect, golden and rare remake of what has always been for me the best fps of all time.

I have a question I find too obscure to search for, so apologies if it's already asked or common gaming knowledge...

I have an ancient pc ('04) with full, small harddrives, slow adsl etc. It takes me maybe 3-4 minutes to load GES up and check servers [often to only find 0 or 1 (spectating) player on every server] ... now the occasional lack of players is a crime against gaming (modding perfection) itself and I try and do my part by playing/creating servers with mates whenever possible ... but the problem remains - it can take 4 minutes to load the game to check the servers to often have to close it all again, wait for cpu usage to lower and load the next scarcely-played mod on my short list.

I know, get a new pc - right.

But is there not any way I can check all the servers from my internet browser?
I've noticed ges-stats.com has three servers listed and refreshed and it seems logical that I should be able to check server activity through my browser for any game.

Apologies if this is something obvious.

The Game is wonderful fun and the sole thing I recommend to friends - the soundtrack is always pumping in my head and I dream of blowing Oddjob;s hat off with great regularity.

The only other problem I've found with GES is one where I'm always excluded from the right to vote on gamemode on my main server. All I can think of is that my computer is too old or my skill too great to be allowed a vote amongst the common ges-player  :-D

I am concerned that this mod - like a few others - will get too good and become an even more saleable product.
Oh it's worth it alright, but it's infinitely more impressive to me that $4 hl2dm gets you this perfect remake of a rare, golden classic!

(Got my vote for mod of the year)

Lovin it!

Steam -> View -> Servers

Set GE:S v4.1 in filters.


Oh and its Free to play this game now. So $0 to play a perfect remake ;)

Infinitee44:
Majorly helpful, thanks man.

Excellent, perfect, brilliant, thank you, i suck, duh.

Anyone for a game...

That green stripe on the walls looks good. I wonder if I'll be able to guide myself to the armor without opening the wrong door first.

By the way, Infinitee44, what game server excluded you from the right to vote? Perhaps you didn't vote on time or you didn't get enough people to call the vote (this in the servers where you have to call a vote).

Infinitee44:
Thanks PPK.

I have only noticed it on (my beloved) Spectrum server. I dont think it's voting on time or not enough users to vote. It happens regularly enough.
All I can think of is that the server isn't reading me as a voting user.
Others on the server do not have troubles and I've gotten into the habit of disconnecting so as to let other users vote for gungame and rejoining after I notice the modechange in the serverlist.

[SM] You do not have the right to vote - or something to that effect.
I would try on other servers but I always get auto kicked for pinging above 250  :-(

Again, thanks for the help/interest.  :-D
