AMXX version 1.0 and player slots

ecf · **Author**

Hello all,

We have recently statrted using AMXX vs. the original AMX mod.
Current specifications are:

Windows 2003 Server
Half Life Steam (CS, CZ, DOD)
AMXX Mod 1.0
Latest Metamod version
No plugins other than the default install

Here is an example of what is happening:

I create a server setting the maxplayers to 16 in the command line. When i start the server the STEAM browser shows the player slots as 15. Also we have a web query page which shows the slots at 15 as well. But when I do a rcon status on the server it retuns maxplayers 16.

I have checked to make sure that reserved slots are set to 0, and have even taken the B flag out of the admins in the AMXX users.ini file just to make sure that wasn't it. So I created a server from the default files from STEAM without AMXX installed, and it starts with the correct slots.

Anyone have a similar experience or thoughts of what I may check to correct this?

Thanks for the time,

ECF

yea I get this as well, I'm not too sure as to how to correct it.

Hmmmm.... I would imagine that if it was widespread I would have found some posts about it. I must be doing something silly to cause it then.

Maybe someone will help us both out with some info.

maxvisibleplayers "16"

is the command I think...try adding that to server.cfg.

It's the cvar sv_visiblemaxplayers or something like that. Try setting it to 16, but if it changes itself right back you need to disable the reserved slots plugin (I think it's adminslots.amxx, this is all from memory).

it's the standard adminslots.amxx which causes the reserved slot to
be hidden.

change

Code:

// Comment if you don't want to hide not used reserved slots
#define HIDE_RESERVED_SLOTS

to

Code:

// Comment if you don't want to hide not used reserved slots
//#define HIDE_RESERVED_SLOTS

in the adminslots.sma in your
addons/amxmodx/scricting/ folder and recompile and replace the
plugin and the server will automatically always show all slots.

Thank you very much!

Just a note. Commenting the line out produced a compile error for me. I simply edited the reserved cvar count to 0 and then recompiled. Worked that way just fine. Thanks to all who answered!

.....Well I would have said to look in amxx.cfg but you said you already looked in there...:

Thought you meant you looked there and changed it. Wow....could have saved us all alot of time. =\

but why does it do this when amx_reservation is set to 0 in the amxx.cfg file?
