I agree changing the player limit in the middle of a match would create nightmares.

However, why not count the survivors and change the player limit the moment they first leave the safehouse? No score is earned until then...

Because common case is static players count. Dynamic counting will be helpful for dynamic team size.
But counting players may be inaccurate, because

[from https://github.com/spumer/Left4Fix/b...etion.cpp#L134]

PHP Code:

// Team changing leads to create additional bot and then add him to team
// Only after this real player will be placed to requested team
// When changing team in progress the both players (bot and human) has a 0 points 


And this mean we have 2 players: real and temp.

Also, I think i found way to implement dynamic score calculation. And now i can add ConVar for team size.

Actually I have no time (motivation?) for this. Which is real use-cases for this feature?
I look to TOP15 servers and see servers with constat players count.

I think the main benefit of having a convar for team size, is the ease of updating/changing the extension.

Right now if you fixed a bug you'll have to create 5-6 new versions for 5vs5,6vs6,8vs8, etc.

Also depending on the application it may take as much time to make a universal version with convar, than it would to make say, a single requested 13vs13 version.

I have been working on Superversus, and some of my users requested the option to allow a variable number of survivors on versus.

The main idea is to have start the server as a 4vs4, and add more survivors & infected as players join.

Most players would rather play 4 human survivors VS 4 human infected with the option to scale up to (say) 10vs10, instead of being stuck with 4 human survivors & 6 survivor bots VS 4 human infected & 6 infected bots.

I'm working on the feature, but it'd be great if Left4Fix would support it.

The problem is players will switch teams once they realize whose good and whose not, so teams will become lopsided and if not, they'll just quit or rejoin and hope to join the other team. You'd have to keep track of their STEAM ID's for entire maps to ensure they couldn't join to just stay on the winning/lopsided team.

[Merudo]

Preventing them from joining a team if the teams are unbalanced is easily doable.

There is a cvar that restricts team switching. I think it was "sv_restrict_team_switch" or something I didn't know correctly but it has "restrict_team_switch" in it. Instead of changing vs_max_team_switches to 0, you can enable this one to prevent the issue.

If latest (2145) version affected by this problem i still need new version of server.dll to fix this.
Older version not supported , but if you need it - provide binary and i will try to help you.

Hiya, just checking on this extension. I noticed this just now but when players die, the skull that indicates a survivor's state is not there anymore. Hmmm, I'll check on the signatures if it's changed.
