Thanks for the input, Mytheral. I've been on some servers that have custom popups and all that, telling how much damage you've done or taken, or spamming warnings of "respect us or else!" Back in the day I was a Tribes modder and knew how to do that in T2, but I am not sure how people are doing this in l4d.

I'm modifying srcds.py (SourceForge.net: SRCDS.py) to be compatible with l4d, but it's not a gui and L4D Commander (Left 4 Dead remote commander Potential Gamer) still has some issues to work out before it's really useful for anything besides viewing server status. For both of these packages, I'm gonna send my fixes to the authors and see if we can't get something better out to community.

I'm also planning on logging everything on my server into MySQL, so that I can keep longterm statistics. I will start working on the scripts for that once I get more work done on the stuff I mentioned above.
