private clients.

Hello. Private slots are not working. I have reserved 4 private slots and set a password however, when server is full I force connect and it doesnt ask for a password. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Are you using ASE? If so you will need to put the password in the properties of the server (right click on the server and go to properties) then when you force connect it will automaticly let you in through one of your slots.


*edit* if you are using a passworded server, read Anex's answer here and my reply.

you need to set the password before you connect.

Open the console and type

/password mypassword


Then connect to the server.

When using sv_privatepassword, you must also define the number of private slots to reserve; sv_privateclients does that.

Eg:

set sv_privateclients "2"
set sv_privatepassword "letmeindarnit"

Then, to use the private slot, you would do one of the following:

1) Add +password "letmeindarnit" to the command line of your CoD shortcut

2) Connect to your server, bring down your console, type /password "letmeindarnit" and press ENTER; then type /reconnect and press ENTER.

3) If your server is full try to connect, click ok to the server is full prompt, then follow the instructions in step 2.

4) Start CoDMP.exe, type /password "letmeindarnit" and press ENTER; then connect to your server

5) If using ASE, add the password to appropriate property setting for your server.

Note: reserving private slots is useless if you're using g_password; you will actually lose those slots as no one will be able to connect to them. You have to choose either to set g_password or to reserve private slots.
