no you didn't. you said "not full/down" - that does not mean empty.
i successfully connected to all of your servers without ever being auto-redirected.

- 0.9.1 has known problems with 32 slot servers (you saw this warning, you even quoted it), still you are using this version on that server although you don't know whether this applies for 32 faked slots as well (even i don't know, depends on what maximum number the AMXX function returns in this case)
216.246.49.217:27016
- tells to have 200 slots (seriously, what did you aim to achieve with this?)

- didn't you say it's the only server with 32 slots? it displays to me to have 26 though - that would mean a server with less slots is faking to have 32 and a server with 32 slots is faking to have less...insanity
- doesn't have xREDIRECT running

208.122.57.106:27016
- don't know whether the 18 slots are real or not

to put it mildy: your server situation is...chaotic.

now which server is the one who has the problem? try to disable everything that alters the player slot mechanisms - that includes settings or plugins that fake players or change the visible displaying of slots. then see whether that fixes the problem.

to decide whether a player is auto-redirected immediately when someone connected xREDIRECT checks whether (max players - current players = 0) - using the AMXX functions get_maxplayers() and get_playersnum(1) to get these numbers. on the other hand you are altering these values here and there.
bottom line: you got xREDIRECT depending on valid and correct numbers on the one side and plugins that mess with this numbers on the other. and i on my side don't know what these AMXX functions return in these cases where the numbers are altered. do they make xREDIRECT calculate with the faked slots or with the real ones?

i got another user in PM who has issues with his slots and auto redirection as well, plus we had that in the past. so i will now start to work on xREDIRECT 1.0.1b which will be dedicated to deal with slot issues. in detail, that means:
1. add debug messages that can help to find slot issues
2. (after i analyzed the results of 1.) add options that try to handle these issues - if it is possible change the way how current/maximum players are detected.
of course if we are unlucky results of 1. are that i can't change anything in xREDIRECT to handle it. we'll see.

for part 1. i need the help of those running such slot altering plugins/settings, i don't have that myself on my servers.

meanwhile you should really try to upgrade all your servers to 1.0 stable. that is the version you can currently download - and not a version having "RC" appended to the name. you should not mix xREDIRECT versions, especially not 1.0 versions with 0.9.1.

Sorry I mistaken that.

You should be able to, it is disabled on the servers that it dosn't work on so the normal play can be continued, but when I test to get it working, you woulnt be able to (I have tested that)

It is installed on every server but the NEW HnS server......

I believed that I downloaded 1.0, but everyone makes mistakes... I will re download it and re install the 1.0 version on this server (Again... yes I already downloaded the 1.0 version and put it on this server)

Yes it is faking to have 32 slots.

I do not manage any of these servers so don't say that to me.
This is the server I was having troubles with before, and I haven't gotten it working yet

You noticed (And said) that its a NEW server. It does have 26 slots and is not faking anything. so it is not insanity.
Your right, it doesn't have xREDIRECT running, and it is not a server I posted to have any problems with, and it is not in the menu of any servers so it is not part of any question..

18 slots is real, and again, I do not manage any of these servers.. I only look over them and install plugins like xREDIRECT

You should post on the main page the Whole version in the version section, because when I downloaded this one (The same download as 66.225.198.130:27015) it was posted as 1.0

The server is down indeed. But the plugin is installed and working on this server fine other than the plugin redirects people automaticly, as well as the 208.122.57.106:27016 server....

The 2 servers I am having problems with have no slot altering commands..

There is only 1 (Known)command in a server that changes max player slots... and I found this out by going through the coding of the server files.. (Not able to remember where I saw it but it works so it doesn't matter)
sv_visiblemaxplayers - Default being 0 (Off)

[fejdi]

This is not a plugin.....

[bmann_420]

THen what is it smart guy? lol

[xOR]

look at his other posts and you know what's going on.

anyway, sorry for not having released the promised version with slot debugging yet, i am currently still fighting with some TCL scripts around my OpenTTD servers and that just was there first.

did i already say i hate TCL?

Hello. I've got tiny problem with redirection menu. While compilng I changed max servers from 6 to 20 and max menu sites to 20 too. Plugin compiled without problems but when I type in game /server menu is cuted.. Look

We can't se postinion 9. and 10. in Menu... We can see it when in previous points are not so many white letters...

We can see to in menu server KampNO HS [email protected] and ON THIS SERVER SS WAS MADE.. So we shouldn't see this server in menu...

I've got enabled all modules, and this is my serverlist.ini:

I don't remember how many times this question has been asked, and it is listed as known issues in the FAQ in the first post.

Originally Posted by xOR Known issues: [...] as the length of menu items is limited don't specify too long server names - if an item is too long it is just truncated

[FiFiX]

But this is just one issue. What with HS MOD in menu on HS MOD?


And is it possible to fix this issue?

[Mordekay]

This is exactly what is causing the menu to be cut of.
Remove that "KampNO" from every servername in serverlist.ini and it should be fine, if not, at least better.

wouldn't it be great if e.g. server 3 would always be server 3? so a player who often plays on your servers can just type /server and press 3, he will always know that this will redirect him to his favourite server?

unfortunately you rather seem to want to confuse your players completely, every server has a different number on each server. so a player always has to search through the whole list even when he knows onto which server he wants to go.
why the numeration would change? well, if he is on server 2, server 2 is not displayed according to what you want, right? so server 3 would become server 2 on this server. so actually on server 2 server 3 is server 2 (the same happens on server 1 of course.). that sounds confusing? you got it!

you don't really want a server list where the numeration always changes, confusing your players, do you? this is why xREDIRECT displays the own server and thus keeps the numeration always the same - but it disables it so people don't get the idea to try to redirect to the same server again. and seeing the server they currently play on in the list will give players a feeling where in a list it is. so if they are on another server they can remember "i was on server 5 yesterday, let's go there again".

that's how it should work and how it does. and it does work fine, as i can see on your screenshot server 3 is disabled. what i don't understand though is that the order in the screenshot differs from the order of the serverlist.ini you've shown us. are you remixing the list on every server? o0
that would even make it worse.
