Reserve Slots

Post by boyle_heights »

Currently my clan rents a server from you and I am one of the admins. I am relatively new to setting up all the admin stuff so I apologize if this is noobish. I would like to setup our server so that any admin will be allowed to connect whenever they want and the highest pinger kicked. We tried setting this up before but it did not function as we wanted. Currently we have a 20 player server but after playing with the reserve slots our server was changed to 18 players so we changed it back. We would like to keep it at 20 players with admins being able to connect whenever they want. Can you tell me how we can accomplish this.

Thanks.

Unfortunately you can't have the server be the full 20 players with no reserve slots and have any admin able to connect whenever he/she wants -- it's not possible because when the admin tries to connect to a full server, the server will reject him and admin mod won't even know he tried. The best way to do it is to have a single reserve slot on the server, so an admin can join and admin mod will then kick the highest pinger, freeing up the always-open slot once more. This is called reserve_type 1, and we talk about it in the admin mod FAQ (http://rentals.nuclearfallout.net/rent. ... q-adminmod).
