I have this problem with my servers where when players leave, it still shows them in the server in both HLSW and on the player count of the server.
People cannot join the server because the server thinks its full, when in fact its empty. Any help much appreciated Thanks -L -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 1:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: hlds Digest, Vol 22, Issue 91 Send hlds mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of hlds digest..."

Also I've seen servers where waiting time starts from 20 seconds or so but GOES AWAY as most players join Red/Blue. Is this possible, or am I mistaken? I think my server takes entire 28 seconds no matter what. This must be really basic stuff but I could not find any info about this on google. I'd really appreciate your help.

"mp_waitingforplayers_cancel" = "0" game - Set to 1 to end the WaitingForPlayers period. So you could write a simple addon that cancels the waitingforplayers time if x players join teams - Neph On 12/30/2009 09:43 AM, Adam Smith wrote: > The cvar is mp_waitingforplayers_time it happens to be a hidden cvar.
