I have a server with 28 slots, of which one goes to SourceTV, 3 should be hidden and admin only (i don't want to kick any players over admins connecting), and the remaining 24 public slots. All my admins have the reserved slots flag (a) set. However, with my current setup, admins still can't connect to a full server ("Could not connect - server is full). Am I doing something wrong here? I am running a NEOTOKYO server, which uses Source SDK Base 2006 engine.

from cfg\sourcemod\sourcemod.cfg:

// Specifies how the reserved slots plugin operates. Valid values are:
// 0 : Public slots are used in preference to reserved slots. Reserved slots are freed before public slots.
// 1 : If someone with reserve access joins into a reserved slot, the player with the highest latency and 
// no reserved slot access (spectator players are selected first) is kicked to make room. Thus, the reserved
// slots always remains free. The only situation where the reserved slot(s) can become properly occupied is 
// if the server is full with reserve slot access clients.
// --
// Requires: reservedslots.smx
// Default: 0
sm_reserve_type 0

// Specifies the number of reserved player slots.  Users with the reservation
// admin flag set will be able to join the server when there are no public slots
// remaining. If someone does not have this flag, they will be kicked.
// (Public slots are defined as: maxplayers - number of reserved slots)
// --
// Requires: reservedslots.smx
// Default: 0
sm_reserved_slots 3 // note: this does hide the 3 slots from the playerslots amount correctly

// Specifies whether or not reserved slots will be hidden (subtracted from max
// slot count). Valid values are 0 (Visible) or 1 (Hidden).
// --
// Requires: reservedslots.smx
// Default: 0
sm_hide_slots 1

addons\sourcemod\configs\admins.cfg:

Admins
{
    "adminname"
    {
        "auth"        "steam"
        "identity"    "(steamID here)"
        "group"       "admins"
    }
}

addons\sourcemod\configs\admin_groups.cfg:

Groups
{
    "admins"
    {
        "flags"        "abcdefghijklmrq"
        "immunity"    "10"
    }
}

The admin access does work, so I'm assuming my admins.cfg and admin_groups.cfg are properly set.

27 slots total ... if everyone is admin then reserved slots is pointless, it cant make your server have more slots it has.

Set your sv_maxvisibleplayers to 24

You have to connect via the console to use a reserved slot.

I had no idea. Thanks!

Is there no other way?
Mani let you connect without the console >.<

You can disable the "hide slots" feature, which will show the server as 31/32 when it's full (assuming you have 32 slots and 1 is reserved). This will, however, break the auto-join feature of the server browser and likely piss off players who think the server has a free slot when it really doesn't.

There is no other way.

Having said all this, the CBaseServer extension (or Connect for HL2: DM, DoD:S, CS:S, or TF2) and a reserved slot plugin that supports it (Immunity Reserved Slots does) can allow reserve slots without actually using a slot for it.

However, be aware that you still have to connect through the console to join.
