seta sv_hostname "Mexican Wookies"

 

to add colors, you use ^# and replace # with a number from 1-7. You can use all kinds of characters, but ultimately you end up with the same basic color set. For instance you could use:

 

seta sv_hostname "^1Mexican ^2Wookies" to get a 2 color name (red and blue? I forget offhand which colors are which #'s). Anyway, experiement and have fun.

 

As far as the config, I've seen that one a bunch of times and hate it. It's a personal taste thing I guess. There's serveral cg_ settings in there which are completely irrelevant for a dedicated server and although g_gametype 4 might work, the info from Raven says that 7 is CTF. *shrug*

 

As far as the server not showing up, there seems to be a LOT of people with that problem and not consistent explaination for it. The easiest things to check would be to make sure you have all the necessary ports open if you have a firewall. Make sure you are using +set dedicated 2 in your command line/batch file. After that, it just seems like the master server has been very reluctant to list some servers. Why? I have no idea.
