YEAAAH so I was wondering about the way those two reserved slots work... I understand that they're unlocked only for admins, but what if the server has 18 people, 2 of which are admins? Are the two reserved spots being taken by those admins, or are they still reserved, just in case another admin wants to come on? If the server isn't full, but an admin is logged on, is that admin taking up a regular spot, or the reserved spot? In my experience it seems that only once the server reaches 18 people does it start counting admins in the reserved spots, which I guess is cool, but I didn't think that was the intention of the reserved slots. P.S. - no sleep makes me incoherent, I don't know if the above is understandable |

i looked into it and found this, tell me if it helps...otherwise i await alex's imput. Mani Admin Plugin wrote ...
Mani Admin Plug-in for Counter Strike Source & HL2 Deathmatch Reserve Slots Included is a basic reserve slot manager. To enable the reserve slot manager set cvar mani_reserve_slots 1 The reserve slot manager requires that you allocated a certain amount of player slots so that players who are in the reserveslot.txt file and/or adminlist.txt file can join without waiting for the server to be not full. The amount of reserve slots that you wish is defined in the cvar mani_reserve_slots_number_of_slots If you wish players setup in the adminlist.txt file to be include as reserve slot players set the cvar mani_reserve_slots_include_admin 1 If you wish a player to be immune from being kicked when a reserve slot player joins but you don’t want to give them reserve slot join privileges then add them to the imunnitylist.txt with the ‘n’ flag. There are two types of reserve slot strategy available: - Allow Reserve Slots to fill This is set by defining cvar mani_reserve_slots_allow_slot_fill 1 In this mode only the reserve slots can be used by players defined in the adminlist.txt file and reserveslot.txt file. In this mode it will not kick existing players from the server to make way for a reserve slot player. Keep Reserve Slots free This is set by defining cvar mani_reserve_slots_allow_slot_fill 0 In this mode the reserve slots are used solely as a buffer for people joining. Once a player has connected the reserve slot manager will determine if the player is on the reserveslot.txt list and kick an existing player if the server is full making the reserve slots free again. Kick method There are two ways in which the system will determine who should be kicked: - Ping In this mode the player with the highest ping will be disconnected (spectators are chosen first before active players) For this method set your cvar mani_reserve_slots_kick_method 0 Time Connected In this mode the player with the shortest connection time will be disconnected (spectators are chosen first before active players) For this method set your cvar mani_reserve_slots_kick_method 1 Redirection to another server If a player is not allowed onto the server you can setup a cvar to redirect the player to another of your servers. Set cvar mani_reserve_slots_redirect to your chosen server (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port) |

Here is how I understand the reserved slots. At any given time there can only be 18 non-admins on the server. Let’s say that we have 16 non-admins and 2 admins on the server, totaling 18 people. Anyone, admin or otherwise, can occupy those last two spots. If there are 2 admins on (regardless of player count) then the reserved slots are filled, and the server count can reach 20. It there are 18 non-admins on and only 1 admin, then the server will remain at 19 players until another admin joins. I see a lot of admins kicking specs when there are 17 people playing and one spec. Well, if I see an admin doing this then that means that there are at least two admins on the server. So, the reserved slots are filled. Just as a side note, kicking specs when the server is not full can harm the connectivity for the rest of the night. So, please, admins, if the server is not full and you are about to kick a spec please keep this in mind: 1) are there at least 2 admins on? If so, no need to worry, the reserved slots are filled, 2) if there are 12 players and 3 sitting spec for a long time, just let them stay until player count gets high enough that they are blocking others from joining. |
