Hello guys, for some reason the cvar sv_visiblemaxplayers refuses to work in my server config. I even tried putting it in autoexec.cfg to no avail. However if I execute the cvar in the console, it work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

reserved slots present?

Not at all.

Something must be overwriting it. Check your configs once again. Autoexec is one of the very first executed, so putting cvar there isn't a solution.

If you're desperate, you can write a plugin that turns on this cvar 5 seconds after the map is loaded.

I have to do this in order to enable the hidden endless MvM mode since putting the cvars in any of the configs doesn't work.

If possible, would you share the mentioned plugin? That would be swell, appreciate it.

PHP Code:

public void OnMapStart()
{
    CreateTimer(5.0, ChangeCvar); // change 5.0 to more if it doesn't change it on time. this is the time in seconds and it must be a floating point number.
}

public Action ChangeCvar(Handle Timer)
{
    // The shitty way:
    // ServerCommand("sv_visiblemaxplayers 24"); // change 24 to whatever

    // The more correct way:
    Handle cvar = FindConVar("sv_visiblemaxplayers");
    SetConVarInt(cvar, 24); // change 24 to whatever
    PrintToServer("Convar sv_visiblemaxplayers has been changed"); // debug print statement to server console - delete this once you're satisfied
} 


You can paste that code in here https://spider.limetech.org/, edit whatever you want, then compile it and download the smx.

Thank you very much, I will test it right away.

The code compile without trouble, but visiblemaxplayers still remains unchanged for some reason. Thank you for sharing nonetheless.

I checked both server.cfg and autoexec.cfg, nothing is overriding the cvar unless there's a stock config I'm unaware of.

Did that print statement get printed on the server console? If not, then the plugin didn't run properly.

If it did, uncomment the ServerCommand() part and try again.
