How do I stop my maps running as a server?

[PickledGecko]

I just compiled and ran a map I had only just begun to make. When it was loaded I left the room for 2 minutes and when I came back there was someone playing on the map. It seems my computer was listed as a server that others can join.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there anyway I can turn this server function off? Maybe load the map as a LAN game only or something?

Yeah, happened to me. You can turn that off with sv_lan 1.

Yeah, happened to me also... you also can set a password to your servers sv_password **** you know?

Haha. That's gotta be funny...

Too bad theres just no function to allow real-time editing, like Farcry.

lol. i went searching for those sometimes. HL2 Deathmatch. 1/2. its fun to see alpha. but i decided ppl probably dont like it, so i stopped. i can imagine though. just use the sv_lan thing
