Server Password

[Ruiner]

Just a quick question, we've been putting a pw on our server using sv_privatepassowrd xxxxx - but i've noticed that this gives you a 'server is full' message if you attempt to connect w/out pw, however, i've seen 'server rejected, invalid password' as well - imo the invalid pw is more informative, how would you set up the cfg for this? Thx

Hey there your seeing the Server full message because all of your slots are passworded. Take a look at this partial Server.cfg file and that should sort everything out for you.

//Passwords
seta rconpassword therock //this is the rcon password for autokick or ingame rcon commnads simply type in therock in autokick. This will use therock for your rcon password
seta g_password people //setting a password here would make your server private you have to use both for v1.11
seta sv_privatePassword people //you have to specify this as well for v1.11

// Max Players and Saved Private Possitions
seta sv_maxclients 16 //max players you will allow onto the server at one time.
seta sv_privateClients 4 //sets private reserved slots to x number used with the private password.

So with this setup 12 public people can connect to your game while 4 slots are held in reserve for yourself.


hope that helps some
