<div class="IPBDescription">for GSA users</div> Please dont turn this thread into a which is the better utility I am well aware of the options, <a href='http://www.gamespyarcade.com' target='_blank'>Gamespyarcade</a>, <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/' target='_blank'>All Seeing Eye</a> or the new ModaMaster Beta. (Found webbed elsewhere). I have all installed and have used all.
For those like me that like GSA you may often be annoyed by trying to join a server and finding that all the free slots are reserved or you didn't notice the password icon until you'd already clicked. I wrote a couple of filter that can be added to the 'player filter section' to help you find your ideal server. Either cut and paste these filters as required or more sensibly add them to your list using the manage filters option. (see image)

Filters below, tweak to your hearts content.
<ul>
<b>Public slots free no passwords</b>
<li><> maxplayers AND public_slots_free > 0 AND password = ""
<b>No password, public slots free and more than 6 players</b>
<li>>6 AND public_slots_free > 0 AND password = ""
<b>16+ player server, slots free, no password, not empty</b>
<li>>0 AND maxplayers>15 AND public_slots_free > 0 AND password = ""
<b>20+ Player games without passwords that are not empty</b>
<li>>=0 AND maxplayers>=20 AND password = ""
<b>more than 6 players, public slots free, 20+ player server, no password</b>
<li>>6 AND public_slots_free > 0 AND maxplayers > 20 AND password = 0
<b>16+ player server with 3 or more public slots open, 6 players and no password required</b>
<li>>6 AND public_slots_free >2 AND maxplayers > 15 AND password = 0
I hope someone finds these useful, to me they were not as obvious as perhaps they should have been!
