History of development

In December 2000, Timo Stripf began with the development of HLSW. At that time the goal was to develop a software that not only once the performance information of a Half-Life server - as the most popular programs at the time - but could query continuously. This made it possible to follow Half-Life games better. There was HLSW v0.1. This concept has been maintained until today.

Naming

The name Half-Life Server Watch dates from the beginnings of HLSW than just the game Half -Life was supported. Meanwhile, more than 60 games are supported and the original meaning is thus obsolete. For this reason, the software is distributed only by the abbreviation.
