Add slots

User32 · **Author**

How would you add more player slots through a plugin? like If I had 6 slots, and change It to 20 or w/e?

You can't update it in realtime.

you can't.
all you can do is make the server look like it has more slots, but people still wouldn't be able to join.

the amount of slots is set when you start the server, so if you don't
have access to the command line of starting hlds,
you can't do anything.

Er, like If the server Is about to start, or something, like changes the slot number to 20. Damn I suck at explaining this.

User slots are allocated at map change. get_maxplayers() will tell you how many slots are allocated. You cannot change maxplayers when the server is running. You must change it before the server turns on.

Yes. That's what I want to do! Change the slot number before It turns on.

edit autoexec.cfg
maxplayers "5"

Ah, yes. Perhaps that would work.

But it won't change maxplayers when the server changes a map or restarts. Only when the server turns on after being completely shut down.

But It does not allow max player change after changelevel or w/e -- I think. Maybe If I added maxplayers "20" In AMXX.cfg that would do It, because AMXX.cfg reloads It's content after each map change.
