L4D2 ignores Slots amount

[L3gacy]

I have imported the game configuration for Left 4 Dead 2 from http://clientforums.tcadmin.com/showthread.php?t=6329.There is no cmd line builder even after turning it on. Also, when I try to view the default config file all I see is a link of where it is on the server. I cannot open or edit it from within TCAdmin. When a server is created it forces it at maxplayers 18 even when setup as a different slot value. Every othr game server is working correctly except for this one. Does anyone have any ideas why it's doing this?

create a config from scratch instead of importing it and see if it works better. Takes 5 mins max.

 

I had a 18 slots issue when metamod was installed as far as I remember.

Isn't a plugin needed for more than 4 slots?

I don't know the specifics of this game server and how many slots you can or can't have. Interestingly enough though, even though the server console output says 18 players the status script on the website only detects it as 4 slots. What mod might this be to increase it past 4 slots? I will see if I can figure his out.

[dimitrifrom31]

the default slots are 4 and 8 depending the gamemode.

 

with l4dtoolz/Left4downtown you can get 18 slots

Thanks for the information. I have been reading up on the game types. Is there any way to force the server into versus mode (or whichever modes offer 8 slots) when someone orders an 8 slot server?

[dimitrifrom31]

no, some ppl will order 8 slots but may want to play coop (4 players)

 

Just turn on the monitor and if you got issues with slots detected allow 10 extra slots in game config and do some manual monitoring from times to times

Thanks for all the help Dimitri, hopefully now I can get everything worked out.
