I don't really understand where your problem is ... oO - You don't have download content, you can disable that with a cvar.
- You don't have to play on servers with stupid server settings ... On my servers i have 32 slot max, 1 is reserved and sv_visiblemaxplayers is 31 ... So the server says maxslots are 31 instead of 32 ... People are not able to join my server with the GUI with 31/31 players. And all other players can use the reserved hidden slot with using the console to connect. Never had any problems with that ... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carl Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 2:29 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] Those damn reserved slots. [TF2] So, I have been playing TF2 since the public beta and have noticed something in TF2 that has made the game rather annoying: reserved slots. With the advent of the new server browser, it seems that nearly full servers are brought to the top, which is another way of saying that servers with only reserved slots left. Its pretty annoying to try to join a game and then be kicked after downloading its stupid content. I myself (like many others here) am both a server admin as well as a gamer. I have found that using reserved slots just makes prospective players angry. I personally (and this doesn't work for everyone) just kick a few random people. It doesn't make sense to reserve a slot for 24 hours a day, when I play the game 1- 2 hours max a day. If there was a way for servers to advertise (though maybe server tags) that the remaining slots are reserved it would be most beneficial. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
