Re: [hlds] Question about L4D2 Demo Slots

Re: [hlds] Question about L4D2 Demo Slots
Look closer, the extra players are bots. Smoker, Boomer, Charger, Jockey, etc. It's normal. The bots don't count toward the max player count, but they will show up in the current players. It's safe to ignore. On Wed, 2009-10-28 at 19:54 -0700, Mike Vail wrote: I have a working vanilla L4D2 demo server up and running on a Windows 2008 box.

Re: [hlds] Question about L4D2 Demo Slots
On my server, bots appear to take up slots in HLSW. When a human player joins, the limit goes up for a moment until the survivor bot disappears from the player list. You're never getting more than 4 people in the server, it just lists more with the bots included.

Re: [hlds] Question about L4D2 Demo Slots
Are you sure it's not the bot players showing up ('Smoker', etc)? That
happens on L4D #1 too.

I have a working vanilla L4D2 demo server up and running on a Windows 2008
box. HLSW only sees it as a 4-slot server but as many as 6 can join and
play. When 7 or 8 try, the last 2 people appear to join for just a moment
then are immediately kicked off and it goes back to 6 players and then
eventually 4. Is this normal? Do bots show up in HLSW? Any ideas what, if
