You're right. Someone told me, tha there are many other games wich allows
to change maxplayers during the game (like UT over a WI). I think the
maxplayers cvar is a funny thing in css for admins who hosts thier own
servers. Provider have to monitoring thier servers.
Thanks for reply

If you're not monitoring your servers' max clients, you aren't fit to
be accepting money in exchange for the server.

It does.
There's multiple ways to change it after that command line option is set.
With or without plugins. Most of which have already been discussed in this
thread.
Again, there's better things for Valve to focus on than this. All the big
GSPs already had this value monitored for years. There's

Indeed, this is the other thing I was thinking about. My previous post
did not even take into consideration the various plugin/mod/hook ways you
could forcibly modify the max p
IIRC what you set on the commandline *IS* the highest you can set it, and
although I'm less certain about this, I don't think any attempt to set
maxplayers to a higher value than what was set on the server command line
will work.
Please do us a favor however and do not ask valve to lock things suc

If you're a GSP, you alone should totally be monitoring your clients.
Don't cripple a legitimate feature.

Couldnt you just set the max players on the start line and nothing can
change that. If you try to change it with rcon it says this needs to be

Nope, monitoring and disabling malicious customers is the best solution.
There are plenty of ways to change maxplayers.
autoexec.cfg has plenty of legitimate uses.

I'm a total newbie at linux, but couldn't you have crownjobs running,
querying servers and sending e-mails to customer support if customers
changed maxplayers to something too high? Just saying, chmodding
autoexec.cfg to 444 and disallowing chmod is the better solution of
course

Also you can move, chmod and edit files with serveplugins. It is not
hard to replace a file with antother using sourcemod. To prevent such a
behavior the user also should not be able to change the chmod.

Yup, you can probably just simple do "chmod 444 autoexec.cfg" and it's
basically solved. Or "chmod 744 autoexec.cfg" and then change ownership
with chown to someone that isn't the "customer".
I admit though, autoexec.cfg is a useful configuration to edit so it's
probably better still to be able to

You can change the cvar maxplayers before the game starts.
When you put this two lines in your autoexec.cfg the maxplayers cvar is
overwritten and fixed (tested with css):
maxplayers 64
map de_dust
Maybe Valve can lock maxplayers, when it is set with -maxplyers in the
start command.
