RavenStar Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 G'day. A customer just told me that his server changed itself to 64 slots, when it should only be 26. I have checked his command line as well as his "service details" and it is all how it should be. I also tried to change the number of slots on service details, though that made no difference, it still stayed at 64. How do I fix this and how on earth is it even happening, when the service details are set to 26 slots? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Check your server configuration files. It may be set to 64 players in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenStar Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've checked the game configuration files for the game (Counter Strike Source) and see no evidence of slots being changed in there. This has only happened on 1 server ashwell, I have tried changing the command line and even adding "+max players 26" to the end of the command (even though it already has that) but it has no affect.

wondorae Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 did you check his service config file, not the game configuration files for the game in general... i find that sometimes if i client sets the command in his personal config file it overrides the command line variable set in tcadmin namely mods that do that to me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenStar Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've checked that and all mod configurations, nothing looks different. He told me his server just crashed but by the time I checked, it was online, but now had 64 slots - I'm guessing the 'crash' was just a restart of the service. This is a very weird problem. Perhaps I'll open a support ticket instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 It is +maxplayers not +max players Also if you have checked ALL command lines (not just the default) and the config files. Then I would start looking at there addons, I know both sourcemod and estools have scripts written by less honest individuals that will change the max players, there are also some 3rd party addons that will do this if you allow your clients to upload there own mods. Personally I have found for my company the addons/mods are the customers favorite game trying to claim they have no clue how/why the slot count is changing.

RavenStar Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sorry, I meant +maxplayers, I typed it here on the forums. I am being led to believe you are right, in regards to a mod causing this. When I deleted the clients copy of sourcemod (as they weren't apparently using it) everything seemed to change back to normal. I took a look at what plugins were installed for sourcemod and only saw the usual radio mod, however there must be something I'm missing. Anyway, thanks a lot for the assistance guys! I was under the impression the maxplayers could only be altered via cmdline, though now thinking about sourcemod it does make sense that it could change it. Thanks again~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
