I am running a 5v5 community competitive server and it only has a maximum of 10 slots. I am trying to make it so when an administrator joins the server when there are 10 people on, it kicks a player with highest ping / minimum connection time to make room for that admin to join. I have tried to use the following cvars in cfg/sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg to make this happen but unfortunately all it does is save one spot for an admin and it causes the server to allow a maximum of a 5 vs 4 game.

sm_reserve_type 1
sm_reserve_slots 1

the problem is you need 11 slots for this to work... you always need an empty slot so you can join... the plugin goes to work and decides who to get rid of to free up that slot again..

I've just upgraded my server to 11 slot(s) and have the following cvars (regarding reserved slots) set in my cfg/sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg file:

Spoiler

// 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 1

// 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 1

// 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

The issue is I don't believe its working because as you can see in the .cfg file sm_hide_slots 1 is on and when I join the server and refresh the community server list it still appears to show 1/11 players instead of 1/10 as I figured it should be. I have not yet filled up the server but I'd imagine with this not working properly it's going to allow the server to be a 6v5
