Think I must be doing something wrong with Password

[-DH-]

:?: Hey Guys,

Well our server has been up and running for a while now...and since our clan is starting to have regular practices...I wanted to password protect the server...so this is what I did...

changed two lines in the config file...

seta sv_privatePassword "*******"
seta sv_privateClients "14"

but anyone trying to connect this way from the internet was getting the server full message...I had the clients make sure that they typed in the console like so password ******* then press enter then exit the console and connect to the server... now I had no problems connecting this way Lan side, nor did the other computer I have here lan side...but no one else coming from the internet could...

prior to this I saw a command like this and tried it but it did not appear to password protect the server as I could connect lan side with no password...

seta g_password "********"

Which of these is the right command if I just want to password protect the server? also if it is the private client password, do I need to leave the private clients at 0 or was I right to put it at 14 which is how many slots my server has...btw I am also running Dogtag and MOHCI...

Hope someone has had this problem before and can help :?:

sv_privatepassword is the one to use, and your privateclients should be equal to your max clients.

the only thing i can think of is that the PW is case sensitive, so if it's xxxxxx and they entered Xxxxxx, they'd get server full...

The way you are describing them connecting should work.
Try using set instead of seta:
set sv_privatePassword "*******"
set sv_privateClients 14

Make sure they type in the password EXACTLY (caps matter!).

Also make sure that password is not set on the server! Add a reset password statement to your server.cfg

BTW, g_password doesn't do anything!
