It does not reserve by steamid or password. It stops people from joining through the user interface. Anyone can join by using the console.
To reserve by steamid or other mechanism and you don't want to use one of the existing mods just break out the SDK and write a simple plugin that only allows admins to join once sv_visiblemaxplayers have joined the server. It is only a few lines of code. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WayneH Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2005 4:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Private Slots on Servers! Does this actually fully reserve the slot to those only with the rcon_password, or does it merely make the slots reserved invisible to the players? I want to have the slots reserved for Admins only, accessed by the password, be it rcon_password, or res_password, or whatever. If they are merely invisible, it will never stop them joining and taking the slot. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deadman Standing Sent: Sunday, 29 May 2005 4:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Private Slots on Servers! For CS and CS:S just set sv_visiblemaxplayers to (max_players - #reserved slots). To join when the server is full type: "connect <server ip>" in the console. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
