Guide?!

Isnt there a guide on how to log on to a server using private slot pass ???

Logging on is easy. If you don't have a custom.cfg file in your mainta directory, create one and be sure it has this line:

[code:1]set password "damngoodpassword"[/code:1]

or whatever your password is. You can log on. Servers that have a different password will still let you into public slots if any are open.

You can also type this in the console for one time events (like a clan match).

Yeah but hpw do i use it ??

For clients, you set it, you log on. End of story.

If you are asking how to set your server to use it:

[code:1]// Max Players
set sv_maxclients 16

// Private Clients
// Clients that require a password to join
set sv_privateclients 6

// Password
// Allows you to set a password for the server
set sv_privatepassword "coolpassword"[/code:1]

maxclients is the total number of connections allowed. privateclients is how many of those to reserve for people with the private password (private slots). What is left over is what anyone can use (public slots).

This example will allow anyone to connect to up to 10 slots (these are the public slots), and allow six more to join if they have set their password to be the same as the server's privatepassword. If you want only private slots (no public slots) then set sv_privateclients to be the same as sv_maxclients..... and set your password to something other than "" ;)

Hi just read this thread sorry if this is a bit late.

I saw a nice menu on a web site that I can not remember just now but I have edited this ServerConnectMenu.pk3 file for my clans server so we can all connect using the private slots or when we set the server to ALL private when training, Matches are a diff thing as it is always changing for each war.

But anyway if you are happy then no probs - if you would like a copy and know how to edit pak files, as I will have to give you a blank with no passwords in so you can add your own, then just email me :)
