Alright, i added 1 reserved slot to my server, but i noticed it wont let the server fill up. Im wondering if theres a way that i could let the server fill right up, and the person that joined last will get kicked, only if a user with reserved slot joins the server.

Also with 1 reserved slot, will that only let 1 person with reserved slot enter? or say if 2 ppl with reserved slot try to join the game, the server has 25/26 ppl, 1 guy joins its now 26/26, if the other guy joins will he get rejected or will it kick someone else for reserved slot?

What you do is add an extra slot to your server, add 1 reserved and 1 hidden

Now i'm not experienced in coding, but I believe this would take a little work to do this.

Your last resort would be to just use HLSW and kick somone before you enter :-/

alright so even if i have reserved slots 1 on, and sv_visibleplayers or w/e it is to 26, it will only allow 25 ppl and 1 person with reserve slot in the server... i was thinking i could start giving/selling reserved slot, but if it still only allows 1 person with reserved slot to join, then that kinda kills the pt of reserved slot :/

anyone answer a few of my simple questions please? from the sounds of it, having reserved slot will decrease myserver to public players by 1, and only 1 reserved slot person can join, and if server is full, anyone else with reserved slot still cant join if its then full.. am i correct?

There are a couple of plugins here that leave 1 slot reserved and everytime a player with a reserved slot flag joins it kicks a player with highest ping or shortest playing time always keeping 1 slot free for another player with the reserved slot flag. This will keep happening untill the server is full of players with the reserver slot flag. This means a 20 slot server would only ever have 19 players on it unless all the players have the reserved slot flag then it would be 20/20.

One of the plugins also allows you to redirect people joining a full server as they might not realise the last slot is reserved, it can also redirect people instead of kicking them.

From what i have read there has to be a slot free for these plugins to work, it needs a player to connect to figure out his access flags and then decide what to do, kick / redirect etc. If the server was full steam would return server full before this could happed. Also if you decided to hide the reserved slot but all public slots were full (so the server looked like 20/20 even though it is 21 as 1 slot is hidded) steam would still return server full, to connect to a hidden slot a player with the reserved slot flag would have to open the game console and connect, to much hassle for most players though.

Hope this info helps
