Reserved Slots TF2

Devilfish · **Author**

Just wondering if it would be possible to have reserved slots made so that they are never filled by publics or res slot holders?
With tf2 being capped @ 24players it is impossible to hide res slots whilst keeping maxplayers @ 23 if you have more than 1 reserved slot holder joining!
eg
24 player server
- 1 slot for res slot holder check in
If player is res slot holder a public player is kicked & res slot holder moves to 23rd slot leaving 24th slot free for next res slot holder to check in.
maximum players on the server 23 + 1 slot for check in.

Hope that makes sense!
Regards

I have made a test version but havn't been able to test it. Theres a link to download the sp file on that page. Compile that and try it out if you wish. Let me know if it works as expected and I will add it to the main package.

plugin loads and sm cvar 2 shows sm_reserve_type = 1
So all good so far will get the server full and see if all works as planned!

In order to allow 32 players on my server and be able to use the reserve slots without taking up a slot, I installed the Player Limit Plugin that is available.

I set my server to 33 players and hid one. HLSW and all other mods end up seeing only 32 players but the reserve slot is still available.

Haven't had any problems so far.

I'm assuming sv_visiblemaxplayers is broken/disabled with TF2? If it was functional, wouldn't this solve some of the issues with hiding slots?

I wouldn't use the player limit plugin, from what I have read on the steam forums, valve have put a filter in place to stop 24+ players showing up in the server list.

There is one sever in my server list at the mo with 32 players, and even then that will disappear once valve do an update.

Its a pitty because 25 players with
