Hello, currently we run our server with these settings: - maxplayers 24 - tv_enable 1 - sv_visiblemaxplayers 24
The SourceTV increases the maxplayers to 25 and uses one player slot. The sv_visiblemaxplayers setting reduces the available player count to 24, so the 25. slot is a hidden/reserved slot to allow admins to connect. At the end it shows 23/23 players when full in the Steam game browser, which means 23 real players can connect (SourceTV is not counted as a player). This is all correct. It would be nice to have 24 players playing, SourceTV enabled and one hidden/reserved slot for admins. The serverplugin kicks another player without reserved slot rights to free the hidden slot. Currently we have to increase the maxplayers to have 24 players playing, SourceTV enabled and one hidden slot, but this leads to a custom server we don't want. Instead of having sv_visiblemaxplayers it would be better to have a cvar sv_hiddenslots. If set to 1, the maxplayers increases again automatically, like with SourceTV, but the visible maxplayers in the Steam Game Browser remains at the initial setpoint of the maxplayers (24 maximum). This change should not lead to a custom server. This would allow us to have hidden/reserved slots with a maximum of real 24 players.
