join full server

[Shaft 6]

anyone know how i can allow specific players to join my server regardless of whether it has any slots available.

i've seen some servers where admins can join full servers and in the server list it says 25/24 players

sv_visiblemaxplayers 24
on a 26 slot server will show up as a 24 player server to everyone in the list, it can however hold 2 more.
For those 2 slots that aren't being shown you'll have to set up reserved slots. (to kick players that join above 24 players to keep them open to admins)

oh ty. I wont be able to test it for a while so i need to ask will people be able to use the auto join feature? or will the server kick them and say that is a reserved slot?

I'm not sure myself either but my best guess is on the latter.

If you have 26 slots, and set sv_visiblemaxplayers to 24, the autojoin feature WILL work. When the server is 24/24 and a reserved slot holder wants on they MUST use connect ip method in console to get on. Then they will fill the reserved slot. Depending on how you set reserved slots up, you could then kick someone, let the reserved slot holder take their place, thus freeing up the reserved slot again.

The only time someone will join and get kicked is if they use the connect ip method in console and dont hold a reserved slot.
