Why I can't the number of maxplayer ?

[Madsuns]

Hi, I got a prob, at each time I start srcds, the server set the maxplayer to 32, and my -maxplayer 16 command don't work in my server.cfg file, like if the command doesn't exist... any ideas ?? thx

Its +maxplayers

or

maxplayers 16 via server config

it's -maxplayers or +maxplayers, doesn't matter.
This is however NOT in the server.cfg but in the startupline of the server.

using -maxplayers will result in setting the players to the set amount immediatly
using +maxplayers will result the server setting default 32 first and then change to the set number

using maxplayers in the server.cfg will have the same effect as +maxplayers in the startupline.
