@ DA seems that if you want to lock the server at 10 players you have to fill in 11 players so it is locked at 10

@ LEE yours locks the server but does not unlock the server.

I can't see anything wrong it. Any help?

DA 's plugin works fine the extra player isnt realy an issue

if there is a reason why i and other people should use your plugin please let me know.

I did. It's written horribly, but it really makes no odds to me.

Do try it one more time. Three things could happen; no change, it doesn't work at all, or it's fixed. The latter two identify the problem.

Why is it coded horribly?Maybe you can explain to non programmers so they know the diffrence.or so DA can understand whats wrong with his.

To people that dont know anything about it it's the one that works that does the diffrence, i'll try your later i'll let you know.

I hope DA will be able to see why himself. Remember that native calls are much more expensive than memory lookups, assignments, comparisons and pretty much everything other than huge loops.

I'm not sure I'm able to explain it in a way you'll understand other than it performs a lot of unnecessary work.

what's that cvar?

[Lee]

max_queries_sec 0.5 float server It's part of the rate limiting code to Out-Of-Band queries (i.e. players, info). It defines max queries per second per user (averaged over max_queries_window). max_queries_sec_global 10 integer server It's part of the rate limiting code to Out-Of-Band queries (i.e. players, info). It defines max queries per second for all queries. max_queries_window 30 integer server It's part of the rate limiting code to Out-Of-Band queries (i.e. players, info). It defines time window to average query rates over.

What server browser? The client_connect function will only call if someone conenct's to server...

Well, your function is better but you forgot to add a function to check if the player's are bots. You should add this.

However, I think there is not much difference between your plugin and mine. Get_players is a fast function and many plugin's use it in "fast call functions".

The Steam server browser. When you attempt to join a server it queries it to see if it's full. The problem this plugin is meant to address was people constantly clicking 'refresh' until a slot becomes available.
