This plugin is, honestly, un-needed.
For every source engine game server owner who wants to change the slot number, just use rcon and run this cvar. sv_maxvisibleplayers <ammount>.
This will set the server slot number to the amount specified, so long as the server itself has that many slots. So for example, if you have an 8 slot server and try to set the number to 16, it will not work, but if you have a 24 slot server and set it to 16, it will shot up to only have 16 slots inside steam browsers. If you set it to 16, if you want more than the 16 players to join the server, so lets say admins or clan members, you tell them to type 'connect <server ip>' in console, but replace the <server ip> with said server's ip address. This will put them in the server in one of the remaining slots.
To myself, I find it easier to open HLSW and type a cvar or even put it into a config file, than having to go install a plugin and then go add a line to the config file.
Just some information for you guys.

----Edit-----
This plugin WILL NOT change the slot number of a server to higher than what is specified in the server's command line. The command line can only be changed from an account on the server machine that the game server is running off of. A plugin on the server will not change the command line, so if you put a number of slots higher than the one the command line says it will crash. For example, you have 8 slots set in the command line and you specify 12 in the plugin, once the 9th person joins the process, or server, crashes.
