Fake users?

[BrQ]

Hey,
I'm searching for a plugin for my upcoming 32 slots TF2 server. I want a mod that shows that there are 30 "players" in the server while there actually aren't 30 players. It's so that because people don't join empty servers nowadays. I want it for sourcemod, TF2-compitable. I've seen it several times so it must be possible.

Doesn't work anymore as valve will flag the server as 0/2 players because the 30 fake users are actually non playing bots.

Not true

Edit: I mean not entirely true, there are private plugins that are in use for Sourcemod that fake the player count.

Alright, well some work and some don't then.

Look for a metamod source plugin, there is no Sourcemod/ManiMod plugin that works correctly.

So if I download the metamodsource one (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=38563 ) My server wont get flagged?

There's only one way to find out .

That plugin is old and obsolete as reported by the author.

I highly doubt that plugin will work, and if it does, there may be a chance your server gets flagged.

Also note that topic is in the "trash"

Bah, I didn't notice that.

What if I just put one bot in the spectator, what would happen? Just a regular bot which you add from the console, not from a plugin.

If running on the orangebox engine your maxslots available will drop by 1. If you have a 32 slot server, and add 1 bot, whether it be spectator or playing, your server will show as 31 slots.

Today I saw a server with 30/32 players. When I joined, there were no players. So this would be a 'private' mod? Isn't that a bit strange?

There might be a private version out there, however there is one that works on Orangebox games for Metamod: Source
