I don't want to keep F2P players out of my server completely,
but I was wondering if it was possible to install a plugin that
set priorities amongst F2p and people who paid for the game.
If my server was full, some of the slots filled by F2P players,
and a person who has paid for the game wishes to join, it would
boot a F2P player with say the worst ping, and allow the paid
player to enter...

is it possible?
anyone think its a good idea?

I changed the reserved slots plugin to check if the player is Premium or F2P.
So it should work like the normal reserved slots plugin

The Plugin won't compile in the Forum compiler and it needs SteamTools (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=129763) to work.

I could not test it yet so let me know if something totally unexpected happens

Thank you, thank you. thank you. I posted this same thing and didn't get a response. I will be trying this out right away.

You could have used my plugin's anti_f2p_minslots cvar to block f2p when a certain amount of players is connected.

I think the "problem" with you plugin could be that you end up with a server only half full all the time (depending on anti_f2p_minslots).

How so?

Setting it to 2 would be a fairly effective way of allowing a steady inflow of premiums. And F2P, yet maintain the access of premiums.

Although it would indeed need an admin to kick any logged on F2P'ers when the server does fill up with more premiums, but I'm one of the idea that if they're already inside, don't push 'em out automaticly.

That's why I said it in Quotes.

It depends on the philosophy of your server

But... but... my philosophy is obviously the right philosophy!

I did remember to write a command to kick a F2p by latency, though!
