Help with Private slots

[imported_In2Geo]

Hey Fellas,

We just got our server up and running and we are trying to reserve 2 spots as private. I used set sv_privateclients "2" and I set a private password in the cfg file but I can't get it to work right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I have tried /privatepassword blahblah and /password blahblah in console, but neither has worked.

All you need to do it is...

On the server (add these to your config file)...
seta sv_privateclients "2"
seta sv_privatepassword "yourpassword"

On the clients...
\password "yourpassword"

Setting two private slots reserves slots 0 and 1, as shown by the status command. If the server is empty you can test whether it's working by first connecting without the password in which case you should get slot 2 and then connect with the password which should put you in slot 0. If there are already people connected in slots 0 and 1 when you set sv_privateclients, you won't actually be able to use those private slots until the people in 0 and 1 disconnect. I suspect that may be what your problem was.
