Reserved slot

[drifter104]

Hi Guys, I did have a look but I can't find enough info on the reserved slots.

I have my server set for 2 reserved slots.

However I have no idea how to give people access to these slots from a server side or client side, never run a COD server before so assume I no nothing about what files and where they are please. Although I got server up and working easy enough :)

Add this to your config:



// Private Slots
seta sv_privatepassword "xxx"
seta sv_privateclients "xxx"



Obviously replace xxx with the desired info

When someone wants to join your server in one of the private slots they need to enter the following into their console:

/connect XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX +password XXX


Change the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to your server's IP address and the xxx to your password

oh thats it, cheers.... coming from css servers i was expecting it to be a bit more than that, like having to list the guids of everyone in a file.

While we are on this subject if we do not need to set both are we able to just set the privateclients? And if so is this their player name, say my brother plays under the name mybrother would I then set the privateclients xxxx to pricateclients mybrother and he would be able to join with out console codes?

Or is privateclient like their cd key etc?

Look in your server config for these lines and edit to your liking

// Password Settings
set rcon_password "your rcon passowrd here"
set sv_privatePassword "your password here"//private slot password
set g_password "" //will set entire server to private

// Player slots setup
set sv_maxclients 20 //total slots
set sv_privateclients 2//how many of the slots are private

This setup would give me 18 public slots and 2 private(reserved) slots.

ok there seems to be some confusion as to how to connect to the privateclients slots


is it

/connect 69.31.15.55:28930 +password xxxxx

or is it

/connect 69.31.15.55:28930 +sv_privatepassword xxxxx

It's neither :)


/connect 69.31.15.55:28930 +privatepassword xxxxx

Reserving slots with a password is a completely separate goal than setting a global password for your server,
and no, you do not need to set both if you are intending to just set up a few private slots.

The password you define is not checked against a players name or guid at all.
Anyone that knows the password can gain access to your server.

Hope that helps :)

thanks for the replies guys. This definitely clears things up for me.
i am trying to set up reserved slots in our public servers for members and administrators.

so now i have

sv_privateclients 2
sv_privatepassword xxxxx

so now all members and administrators will add the following to their desktop icons

/connect xx.xx.xxx.xx:xxxxx +privatepassword xxxxx

most xXxcellent forums here bro.
thanks again for your help

From what I understand, when you bring up the server list, in the middle at the bottom, where it says "password" the one you use to get into passworded servers, you can also type in the slot password and you should be able to login.
