[hlds] Bots Causing Players to be dropped due to Slot reservation
Hi All, I run a server with bots (no not the crappy misleading fake bots; the entirely legit ones that show up as bots) that I use mainly to make filling the server not seem like such a daunting/boring task for our members/admins. I also use SM's reserved slot plugin. As real players join the server, the bots are automatically kicked. I have the following settings in place: tf_bot_quota 12 tf_bot_quota_mode fill The problem though, is that when the server is full and the map changes, players get dropped due to slot reservation because the bots aren't being kicked. Does anyone know how to fix this? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Bots Causing Players to be dropped due to Slot reservation
Someone had a similar problem last month. I'll post the solution below along with a link to the original thread. For bots there's another solution: keep the quota set to 0 in server's config file and add a very simple plugin that sets the correct value in 2-3 minutes after map loaded. The plugin may also check for a .nav file, to change the quota only if there's one. In this way the bots won't join the server immediately, allowing real player to use the slots. https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/private/hlds/2012-April/071209.html On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 11:15 AM, Shon Myles shonte.my...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I run a server with bots (no not the crappy misleading fake bots; the entirely legit ones that show up as bots) that I use mainly to make filling the server not seem like such a daunting/boring task for our members/admins.

Re: [hlds] Bots Causing Players to be dropped due to Slot reservation
We've had issues with a similar problem in the past. Our reserved slots are of the go past maximum kind, not the kick when someone joins kind, but on map change, it seems to generate a join event for each player. Since the player count is over normal maximum, it interprets the first few players as trying to join the reserved slots, and kicks them. We solved this by disabling the plugin for a short while on map change Shon Myles shonte.my...@gmail.com wrote: We're using Reserved Slots (1.4.3-dev) by AlliedModders LLC On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 11:49 AM, Kyle Sanderson kyle.l...@gmail.com wrote: Which reservation plugin are you using?
