Reserved Slots

[kifbox]

I am currently renting the bonghittahs sever. I want to have reserved slots for donating members on our server. I understand that adminmod will allow me to do this. How much will it cost me to have this option installed on the server (i.e. by you guys). So that it is a) installed right, b) tested and running and c) so that can continue to work my real job. None of this I can guarantee, that is why I need you. If I can get this going, I can promise you that this server will be around for a very long time as we do have donating members to defray the rental cost. You can PM me back or email me at my listed email for the server rental. Thanks.

You would just need to edit the appropriate values in adminmod.cfg

Code: Select all

// Controls how many (number) of the server's slots are reserved.  
// This is useful only if reserve_type, below, is either 0 or 2.
reserve_slots 0

// Custom message given to clients trying to connect who do not have
// a reserved slots, when no public slots are free
reserve_slots_msg "There are no reserved slots available on the server."

// This controls how reserve slots work on the server. See documentation.
reserve_type 0

The following is from the adminmod manual:

Code: Select all

    * reserve_type 0
      Public slots are used in preference to reserved slots. Reserved slots are freed before public slots.
    * reserve_type 1
      One slot is always reserved (regardless of reserve_slots). If someone with reserve access joins into that slot, the highest pinger without reserve access is kicked to make room. Thus, one slot always remains free.
    * reserve_type 2
      Reserve slots are used in preference to public slots. Public slots are freed before reserved slots. The difference between reserve_type 0 and reserve_type 2 may not be immediately apparent. Here's an example: Suppose there is a 16 player server, with 2 reserved slots. Thus, with no one on, there are 14 public slots, and 2 reserved slots

In practice:
    * reserve_type 0:
      Someone with reserved access joins. There are now 13 public slots, and 2 reserved slots (the person does not take a reserved slot, because those are used only when necessary). The server later fills up, so there are 0 public slots and 0 reserved slots. If anyone leaves, whether they have reserved access or not, it is a reserved slot that is freed, not a public one.
    * reserve_type 2:
      Someone with reserved access joins. There are now 14 public slots, and 1 reserved slot (the person takes a reserved slot). The server later fills up, so there are 0 public slots and 0 reserved slots. If someone with reserved access leaves, it frees up a reserved slot; if someone without reserved access leaves, it frees up a public slot.

Since you have a DoD:S server, admin mod isn't actually supported. You would need to run a Source-compatible plugin such as mani mod.
