This plugin provides reserved slots for admins (or better: reserved connection slots) like in mani plugin.

The number of reserved slots is given by sm_hreserved_slots_amount. If sm_hreserved_slots_amount is undefined or set to -1, the number of visible slots must be limited by sv_visiblemaxplayers. All hidden slots resulting from the difference of total slots - sv_visiblemaxplayers are treated as reserved slots then.

If the public slots are full, normal players will be rejected from connecting on the reserved slot(s). When an admin with reserved slot access joins and sm_hreserved_drop_method is set to "1", a public slot is freed by kicking a non-admin. Afterwards the reserved slot is free again for the next admin to join.

If sm_hreserved_use_immunity is set to 1, the plugin uses the sourcemod-immunity level assigned to the players/admins to select the player to be kicked. If players have different immunity-levels one of them with the lowest immunity-level goes first. If sm_hreserved_immunity_decrement is set to a value above 0 the immunity-level of spectators is decreased by the value of sm_hreserved_immunity_decrement to make him beeing kicked before the other members of their immunity level. Admins with reserved slot access flag may be protected from beeing kicked by the setting of sm_hreserved_admin_protection.


dependencies:

sourcemod version 1.0.0.1854


commands:

hrs_status: print a status screen with informations about the current players and their probability of beeing dropped accourding the plugins config. needs generic admin flag.

config:

the configuration file hreserved_slots.cfg is located at <moddir>cfg/sourcemod/hreserved_slots.cfg. It will automatically be generated if missing. (So you do not really need to download and install this from the attachement). Additionally the plugin may use the externel cvar sv_visiblemaxplayers if you do not configure the amount of reserved slots explicitely.

cvars:

• sm_hreserved_slots_enable: (def. "1") 0/1, disable/enable reserved slots

• sm_hreserved_slots_amount: <int>, (def. "-1") number of reserved slots (do not specify or set to -1 to automatically use hidden slots as reserved)

• sv_visiblemaxplayers: <int>, set to the amount of public slots you wish to keep usable and visible to players. Set below the maximum number of slots your server provides. The difference between maximum slots and visible slots will become your reserved slots. May also be used in conjunction with sm_hreserved_slots_amount.

• sm_hreserved_admin_protection: (def. "1")

• 0 - admins are not protected from beeing dropped from server apart of their immunity level
• 1 - admins are protected from beeing kicked except they are in spectator mode
• 2 - admins will never be dropped from server to free reserved slots

• sm_hreserved_immunity_decrement: <int> (def. "1"), value to be subtracted from the immunity level of spectators. The value 0 will make spectators to be treated like players in the game.

• sm_hreserved_use_immunity: (def. "1")

• 0 - the player immunity level will not be used to find a player to be dropped (is assumed to be 0 for all players). However, admin protection as specified by sm_hreserved_admin_protection still keeps valid.
• 1 - use sourcemod immunity level to group players to priorities for beeing dropped from server

• sm_hreserved_drop_method: (def. "1")

• 0 - no players are dropped from server, reserved slot is blocked until a player leaves on his own,
• 1 - kick a player to free reserved slot
• 2 - offer player to be redirected to the server specified in sm_hreserved_redirect_target. If the player does not accept the redirection he will be kicked.

• sm_hreserved_redirect_target: (def. ""), alternate server a client is offered to be redirected to if sm_hreserved_drop_method is set to value 2.
  

• sm_hreserved_redirect_timer: (def. "12"), time to show the redirection offer dialog.

• sm_hreserved_drop_select: (def. "0"), select how players are chosen to be dropped from server when there are multiple targets with the same priority.

• 0 - Drop player with highest ping
• 1 - Drop player with shortest connection time
• 2 - Drop random target

• sm_hreserved_bot_protection: (def. "0")
  • 0 - bots/fake clients will be kicked to free slots
  • 1 - bots/fake clients (e.g. SourceTV) will not be kicked to free reserved slots
• sm_hreserved_auth_by_tag: (def. "0"), use clan tag given by variable sm_hreserved_auth_tag for admin authentication (mostly not very reasonable until protecting clan tags by external plugin)
  • 0 - enable
  • 1 - disable
• sm_hreserved_auth_tag: (def. ""), clan tag given used for admin authentication (needs sm_hreserved_auth_by_tag=1)

nope.

but i have no dod-server, thus i can not test it with dod.

[imported_sparky]

well I have a 32 player dods server


sm_hidden_slots_reserved 1
sv_visiblemaxplayers 30

server shows max players as 30 in hlsw
server shows max players as 32 in status in console

try to join when server shows 30 active players

steam join returns cannnot connect server is full I have root acces when I do sm_who

[PrefeX]

connect using the console instead of server list/favorites
"connect <ip>:<port>"

yep, that's the intended use. so users without restricted slot access can join the normal way (even with the "connect when slot is free" method) without getting the anoying "This slot is reserved" message.

Alternatively i use the hlsw-tool to connect. HLSW also tell you that there are no free slots, but when you connect anyhow you will join as you wanted.

Cool.

Putting this on now.

Thank you.

okay, thus i have found a beta-tester for dod i changed the plugin state from CS:S to any.

Will this let you connect to the server with your reserved slot without using the console command connect? Also, does it kick spectators first then players? Does it let people use the reserved slot if a reserved slot player is already ingame taking up the slot? If so if another person with a reserved slot wants to come in will it kick someone to let them in?
