set sv_hostname

Here is a strange problem I havent had before. Using the full name for the hottub server causes the maxplayer number to show up as 0. So looking at the gametracker banner and server monitor for the hottub u would see server name followed by 0(2)/0 instead of 0(2)/16 indicating 2 bots on a 16 slot server.

I worked for hours trying to work out what was a matter with my cfg. After taking one line at a time and rebooting server I found the culprit. It was the set sv_hostname line.

Seems I carnt get the server to show 16 slots using the full server name with colours. Even a shortened version with colours only works with one word.

set sv_hostname "^4=^1hottub^1^4= ^6{UNLAGGED}^6 ^2=^5FFA^5^2=" is the line I wanted to use but can only use it with =hottub=. Like I say its a strange problem but no big deal. At least the server shows 16 slots and not 0

One more strange thing is spazys host name works fine with the colour codes on my server, anyway no big deal.

Current server.cfg for the Netherlands hottub
