Setting up private slots on server
 

We are going to be setting up privvate slots in a new serve that we are getting..I tried to do it before on a smaller one but is didnt work
heres the lines in the cfg file that Im going to use

seta sv_privateClients "4"
ui_maxclients "16"

it will be a 20 man server but I want 16 regular ppl and the 4 remaining slots to be private

It will be a server we are renting through the internet so every thing will have to be done by the script

Thanks

I dont know if you are asking a question but...

you just need seta sv_privateclients "4"
and then set a password for the private slots

master error is correct, you'd need:

sv_privateclients 4
sv_privatepassword whatever

in your server config (and by the way, the maxclients command is sv_maxclients, not ui_maxclients. it's meant to be the maximum total number of clients you want the server to have....which you mentioned was 20). to connect to those reserved spots from a client, you'd just need to type password whatever in the console before you connect, or make a config to do it automatically (much like the rcon config explained in bull's dedicated server and rcon setup guide here on allied assault).

Just an FYI guys. This info is in the MOH FAQ's in general discussion. I should add one here as well

[quote:63b99]-Can I password-protect my server, so only people with the correct password can join the game? – Yes. You must add the following lines to your server.cfg file. (If you do not know how to do this, please see "Bull's dedicated server and Rcon guide". The link can be found on the main page of this site.)


code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set sv_privateClients "x"
set sv_privatePassword "password"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Substitute the x in privateClients with the amount of player spaces you want to password protect. (If you have 10 spaces, and want to protect 2 with a password, type set sv_privateClients "2"
Substitute the password in privatePassword with the password you want to use for your private slots. Passwords in MOH:AA ARE CASE SENSATIVE!

To remove the password from your server, use the following command:

code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set sv_privatepassword
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Notice there is one space after sv_privatepassword and no spaces between the quotes. This command can also be used through RCON. Just remember; if the password is part of your server.cfg file, it will be reset upon restarting your mohaa.exe.

-I want to join a server that has a password protected slot on it. I have the password, now what? – Good question. If you are using ASE, highlight your server you wish to play on, that requires a password. Press the f4 key. Enter your password in the text box labeled password. That's it, your password will stay with that server until you change it to a different password. Double click on the server to play.

If you are using Gamespy or the Built-in browser V1.11 , boot up MOH:AA. Enter the multiplayer room (the brown closed door to the right), and press the tilde key (~) to bring down the console. (You will need to enable consol first if you have not done so already!)
Type password x, where x is the server’s password, and press enter. Press ~ again to close the console, click join room, click on Join Internet game. You can now either launch gamespy and connect that way, or you can connect via the IP address of the server. [/quote:63b99]

I think the other fellas are missing something in what you said. If you want a total of 20, set the max clients to 20 and the privatecleints to 4. This will allow 16 plublic connections and 4 private.
