Okay, in the short amount of time I tried getting Quickplay to work I wasn't able to make the server registered fully. It's back up now for the evening, enjoy.

just set up QoS on 27015 and all traffic on that port will be prioritized

But... It is allowed. For that reason.

You'd be surprised, actually. Most people don't bother to use the server browser, even for community maps, unless they're looking for a custom game mode like prophunt or a jump map.

I've done a bit of research into this one myself and it seems that it only refers to things like per-server unusuals or items for players without those items in their backpack, or custom items entirely. It looks like servers are able to ban items for all users without issue. I'm looking into this more though.

Alright, there's a LOT of misinformation spread around. I'm gunna have to sit down and just troubleshoot everything.

The server might be going through a bit of testing for the next few hours. I'll have it back to normal for this evening though

Today I'm going to work on getting the server involved with Quickplay.

The following will have to stop happening in order to do so:

• Class limits have to go away.
  
• The player count will have to be raised to 24.
  
• Random crits have to be enabled. Damage spread and bullet spread does not.

Additionally, it's unclear to me whether or not custom maps will stop it from entering Quickplay. If I'm reading their wiki correctly then players won't be shuffled in from Quickplay while the server is on a custom map, but after the map changes to a Valve map Quickplay players will enter again, and they'll stay for the transition to a custom map (if they choose to do so).

How are the player counts on average right now? The most I've ever seen was 8 players in the server, so I think Quickplay might be the solution.

EDIT: I've found some more up-to-date information. Maps from the Workshop are supported if the player opts in in the Quickplay menu. However, random crits have to be enabled, which is a pretty big issue. I'll continue researching and experimenting to see if this is accurate.

i can literally see my monitor wildly flickering from my bed but I'm too lazy to get up and turn it off

tf2 hasnt kept me awake like this in years

edit: it did stop a few minutes ago so i assume you guys dced

You can still disable other purely cosmetic items too, though. I feel weapon skins should have their own toggle in the misc section.

yes, I added it last night. It's in the OP and MOTD now too

The whitelist is based on that but it isn't the actual whitelist. Whitelist.tf, for some reason, always enables weapon skins and action items. I've disabled those manually, along with some reskins (pans).

Yes, TFTrue.
