I have 32 player servers and am looking to have 20 reserved slots for donors. I want all 32 players slots to be used until a person with a reserved slot connects. I am currently using sourcemod and just need some guidance on the setup.

Here are my current settings:
sm_reserve_type 1
sm_reserved_slots 1
sm_reserve_kicktype 2
sm_hide_slots 0

There are two problems with this setup. 1) It limits the total number of slots to 31. I supposed I could just pay for an additional slot which would resolve this issue. 2) All 31 available slots can be taken up by donors. The problem with this is if the community becomes popular enough, it is possible that all slots are taken up by donors and no newcomers get a chance to play.

Any solutions?

Why would you need sm_reserve_type if you already have sm_reserve_kicktype 2

To make players immune from being kicked by the reserved slots plugin they need to have access to the override 'sm_reskick_immunity' (users with root or reserved slot access are already immune).

NB: This is only relevant when using sm_reserve_type 1/2.

You can either assign this override to a flag using admin_overrides.cfg (e.g. "sm_reskick_immunity" "o" - to give all users with flag 'o' (custom flag 1) immunity from being kicked)

Or

Give groups access to the overrides in admin_groups.cfg (e.g. "sm_reskick_immunity" "allow")

Then add your VIP members or other users you wish to be immune from being kicked as admins with either the flag you specified or as members of the group you gave access to. (You can create a group with 0 flags and ‘0’ normal immunity and only this override if you don't want them to have any other privileges)

sm_reserve_kicktype <0|1|2> - Only available in SourceMod 1.1 or higher.

This controls how a client is selected to be kicked (only relevant to sm_reserve_type 1/2)
0 - Highest Ping
1 - Highest Connection Time
2 - Random Player

Clients with reserve slot access or the override 'sm_reskick_immunity'  are always immune to being kicked. Spectating clients are chosen before  playing clients.

clients with slot access won't be kicked.

how would you input this in admin_groups.cfg

Good question. The instructions on the wiki are not clear and there is even a typo on one of the commands. That is why I am asking here.

So I take it those two commands (sm_reserve_type, sm_reserve_kicktype) are redundant and I can remove one of them?

Also, I still need help with my scenario.

[the_unknown]

sm_reserve_type it makes your server wierd in a way for soem reason because it kicks on high latency but then you have sm_reserve_typekick did you have that in your sourcemod.cfg?

but you will need to add this i don't know how to add it.

how would you input this in admin_groups.cfg

- If you want use reserved_slots and keep server maximum player size x/32, need increase server launch command maxplayers 33 or greater.
(Ask from server company and maybe have to pay extra...)
- Reserved_slots reduce server maximum size and those slots not never get filled in long duration.
- Admin or player adminflag = "a" connect to server, it use reserved_slot if there is no any public_slot left. (full server 32)
- Depend sm_reserve_type, will admin or player adminflag = "a"
"1" = kick immediatelly one of public player out of server to make room after he have connected server.
"0" = Or wait using reserved_slot until someone leaves/disconnect from server, he take his public_slot

I would suggest get 1 extra slot to server (maxplayers 33)
and change in ...cfg/sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg

sm_reserve_type 1
sm_reserved_slots 1
sm_hide_slots 1

When hide reserved slots and server is full 32/32, need use console command
connect IP:port

- Give your donators/vip adminflag = "a"

where do i add this


Give groups access to the overrides in admin_groups.cfg (e.g. "sm_reskick_immunity" "allow")
Then add your VIP members or other users you wish to be immune from being kicked as admins with either the flag you specified or as members of the group you gave access to. (You can create a group with 0 flags and ‘0’ normal immunity and only this override if you don't want them to have any other privileges)

Check and remove this command from server.cfg or alternative config files sv_visiblemaxplayers
(it should be sv_visiblemaxplayers -1)

*edit
TF2 have MAXIMUM player size 32 !! You can't get more !!

[the_unknown]

ok, what i have here is fine

sm_reserve_type 1
sm_reserved_slots 1
sm_hide_slots 1
sm_reserve_kicktype 2

it won't kick admins if its full when all the admins join think thats what sdogg2m meant.

i dont need to add

Then add your VIP members or other users you wish to be immune  from   being kicked as admins with either the flag you specified or as  members   of the group you gave access to. (You can create a group with 0  flags   and ‘0’ normal immunity and only this override if you don't want  them   to have any other privileges)

how might i be able to add more stuff with the custom menu with the non perma ban one?

[sdogg2m]
