ok, server is up and running...lan only at the mo, cos it's not officially launched yet, but a restart when launched will sort that...
but my hlsw reports it as running l4d - coop - normal, 0/4 players.

still dunno how matchmaking works, but if you can browse servers look for

Fester's Place of Zombies and Braiiinsss!
or connect to
81.19.209.142:27017

be warned tho, if it flattens the server, we'll have to kill it :x

Ok, another update later and internet server is up, running and some Festers Place regs are currently killing zombies like there's no tomorrow

Just to confirm the settings...
It doesnt seem to show up in the matchmaking lobby thingy (perhaps a good thing)
so from console :
connect 81.19.209.142:27017
or
connect l4d.festersplace.com:27017

Server is running on hard, cos well....ye are well 'ard

Big thanks to black_feather for helping test and to get the bad boy running

Thanks for putting the server up del it's a fantastic game and I had a good laugh tonight with bagg foxof and spooky.

There is a server browser it's just not activated, so hopefully valve will add it before release.

open console and type in openserverbrowser

all servers are under custom tab.

This game is so awesome it finally made me make a fester's forum account :D

BTW this link shows what console commands you need to make your server joinable through the server browser:

The Coop server works nice, good job. Maybe you guys can setup a versus server on release.
VERSUS
Versus mode is a completely different beast. This mode is aimed at those thirsty for human vs human competition. Four human players play as the Survivors and face off against four human players playing the boss infected. The boss infected players spawn 20 seconds after they are killed in combat, being able to choose their spawn location by walking around as a ghost until they find the perfect ambush spot. This quick spawn time makes Versus mode absolutely brutal to the Survivor team. On top of that, the only place where Survivors are able to respawn is at the next map.

Just like campaign mode, you choose a specific campaign to play through. The first team plays as the Survivors through the first map until they reach the end or until they all die off. The two teams switch spots, so the former Survivors are now acting as the boss infected and the former boss infected are now playing as the Survivors. After the map is completed, scores are tallied based on various factors and the cycle repeats on the next map in the campaign. This continues all the way until the finale map is completed for both sides, at which point the final score is shown and a victor declared.

Versus mode is currently the only mode where human players can choose to play as the boss infected.

Welcome Red!
and thanks for that url

I think for now tho, we'll keep the server off the lobby system so only those in the know, ie the regs here, know about it and can play w/ friends instead of some random traveller

as for a versus server, hells yeah!
