Indeed, this is the other thing I was thinking about. My previous post did not even take into consideration the various plugin/mod/hook ways you could forcibly modify the max player slots on a server. As others have said, if somebody really wants to change the value a way will be found to do it. Once upon a time TF2 was locked at 24 and mods like beetlemod were the only way to get past it. But asking the software company to lock the dedicated server's maxplayers setting to some value, or make maxplayers have more "teeth" so your customers "can't" rip you off is asking them to do your job for you. This is just my opinion but if you as a GSP don't know enough about the games you are charging money to serve then you probably shouldn't be charging money for your service. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
