Sandbox TDM - how do you host it?

[Woppits]

Okay, I want to try out the new map/mode, but it doesn't show up in the Hosting options. After a bit of research, seems you can only host it by dedicated servers.

So, my question: Where are the server setup files so I can set up a private game of it, or is it one of those "You have to rent one from a company to do it" type deals? Getting nothing from Google on this.

Also, any plans to allow Listen server hosting in the near future?

Hi Dry Paint

1) Huge gamemodes with more than 12 player slot can be host only by dedicated server.
2)For now Dedicated server will be hosting only by us but in the future will be available for all, probably in the period near the end of the Early Access phase.
*Can't give an officiall date for that.

3) There will be some new co-op gamemode and single player gamemode that allow the use of the bigger map like River City (1kmx1km), but these modes will have a limited number of player slot, like the normal gamemode now, probably limited with 4-8 slot capability.

Gotcha. Are there any plans to allow Listen servers for sandbox? I played on a dedicated last night after my original post and it was pretty laggy as far as movement went (with about 19 players on it), but it's a cool mode for sure. I wouldn't mind being able to pop open a quick listen server of it. Options are always good.

Also, are there any plans to allow custom time/score limits across all modes (including no time limit)? That's one of the biggest annoyances a game can have in my opinion, multiplayer matches with limited-or-no customization as to how long they last/how many points to win/etc.

Quick example is Faceless. 5 minutes isn't really enough time, IMO, especially for the first time. I'd rather have it set to unlimited time, and the game ends when you find all the notes or when Faceless kills everyone, but it should at least be an option that we have.

This is the first release for Sandbox gamemodes type and this is in really early stage at the moment, but we need to keep it simple in the first phase in order to solve the bigger problem like lag, map loading issue and other little things.

And yes, almost all the gamemodes will have more customizable options at some point.

As i said, "Listen servers" will be available later for some sort of Sandbox gamemode but probably we have to block the max number of player slot to 4-8.
30 player slot option on normal client can cause so many lag problem, we prefer to keep this option available only for dedicated server.
