NAME
       hlmaster.gameserver  - How to configure your gameserver to
       send heartbeats to hlmaster.


DESCRIPTION
       If  you  want   to   get   your   gameserver   dynamically
       added/removed  from your master-server, you'll have to add
       an entry into the file woncomm.lst.  This file is  located
       within  the gameservers mod directory (eg. valve, cstrike,
       tfc...).
       There might be no woncomm.lst in  a  mods  directory,  but
       that  doesnt  really  matter.  You can either copy the one
       found in the valve directory, or just leave it  there  and
       edit  it.  If Half-Life does not find a woncomm.lst in the
       mod's directory, it defaults to using the one found in the
       valve directory.

       After  editing  your woncomm.lst, it's required to restart
       your gameserver for the changes to take effect. To verify,
       your  gameserver is really sending heartbeats to your mas-
       ter, you can go to the Half-Life console and  enter  'set-
       master' - respectivly 'rcon setmaster'.
       You  should  now  get  a lists of the currently configured
       master-servers. You can also add  a  master-server,  while
       half-life  is  running.  This is performed with 'setmaster
       add ip port' - where ip is your master server's ip-address
       (eg.  194.209.69.205)  and  port is it's port-number (nor-
       mally 27010).

       NOTE: Configuration changes made with the  setmaster  com-
       mand  only  remain  active  till next gameserver shutdown.
       Therefore, you'll have to edit your woncomm.lst anyway.


EXAMPLES
       An example woncomm.lst is  provided  within  the  examples
       directory  of  the  source distribution. However, here's a
       short example of the master section:

            Master
            {
                 your.server.com:27010
                 half-life.east.won.net:27010
                 half-life.west.won.net:27010
                 half-life.central.won.net:27010
            }
