Hot joining private zombie matches ?

[bhfff]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to hot join private matches.

I tried changing a few dvars, forcing the game into thinking I'm in a coop game, but nothing allowed others to join me.

I've also checked the console and this one is interesting:
calling XNetQosListen( ENABLE ) for session 'gameSession'

This is something that is not accessible via gsc, nor console, and I believe that it what allows players to connect.

In the console you can also see:

Modifying session
Session modify complete

So xupdatepartystate is probably being sent, which makes me believe hot joining can be enabled via console commands, but that's just a theory..

I don't want to @ any admins, but I really wish to know more about it!

Resurrecting this, in the same boat, did you find a workaround? I know World at War has nearly the same console/command setup and people can join in and out fine. I'd like to know what makes it work, either a command or series of commands.

It'd probably work all the same if you put it in the bo1 console, again, whatever makes it work for World at War can't be too different if you put it in bo1.

And for the "xupdatepartystate" command. Since it updates the lobby as soon as you press start, I'd like to find a way to block that command from running. As your guess seems to make sense.
