Server slot help!

[[MC] ][v][aximus]

Oka, i have a server, and i have 30 slots public, and 4 slots reserved.Now, i have set this in the cfg:

// Maximum Clients
set sv_maxclients "34"
set sv_privateclients "4"
set sv_privatepassword "**********"

Now, seems that my server is always full to 34 users, and only i so far has got the password for the reserved slots.
Whats the deal??? :x

seta g_privatepassword "*******"

There is your problem, not sv_privatepassword

A related question to this......

I have a 20 slot server which is almost always full. If I make it a 21 slot server with the single slot as a private slot is this the way that it works......?

20 people on the server.
I join using the privatepassword making it 21 people in the server.
A random person leaves bringing it back to 20 people.

In the above example can another user join if they have the privatepassword setting correct? Or is that slot currently being occupied by myself as I joined using the privatepassword setting?

Thanks.

I believe your taking the private slot, so someone else could not join via the privatepassword.

Hmmmmm thats too bad. I know that in AdminMod for Half-Life Mods (CS particularly) had a reserved slot feature for admins. In that case it would always keep the extra slot for an admin.

So if we had a 21 slot CS server with one of the slots being a "reserved slot" it would work like so:

If the server had 20 people in it only admins could join the 21st slot. "Regular" players had to wait until the server dipped to 19 slots full before they could join.

That way if you had 5 admins on the server and it was at 20/21, another admin could still join.

Maybe someone will come up with a similar method as its crappy having to kick people all the time so you can get into your own server.

Thanks for the resposes.

The way it works now, if you see your server below, the max # of public slots join without the password but I understand what your asking. Send IW/Activision a suggestion. they seem to listen to the public very well.

I wish we had to ability to password each team as well as private slots.

Not sure I understand the statements here. I understand your request to have an admin specific password and a secondary private password but can't this essentially be done now?

I have our servers set up for 32 people with 6 private slots. That means that the server will always max at 28 people in slots 6-31 and up to 6 admins/clannies in slots 0-5

If you have your setup like this:

set sv_maxclients "32"
set sv_privateclients "6"

Then you will only get 26 pub players, before you start to use your private slots.
