Hello all,
Our clan has just put up a new NS server and I have a question about reserved slots. Admin mod 2.50.50 is up and running (we can log in using admin_password and use which ever admin commands our access lvl grants). Our server has a capacity for 16 people and we want to hold out 2 slots for reserved memebers. So our adminmod.cfg file for NS looks like this;
// Controls how many (number) of the server's slots are reserved.
// This is useful only if reserve_type, below, is either 0 or 2.
reserve_slots 2
// Custom message given to clients trying to connect who do not have
// a reserved slots, when no public slots are free
reserve_slots_msg "Sorry there are no more slots available. If you would like to reserve a spot, visit us at www.foca-cs.com"
// This controls how reserve slots work on the server. See documentation.
reserve_type 2
I then made sure the I had the correct access lvl for each user by granting 32768 in the users.ini file. The problem is we cannot alway get our reserve slots. In fact, we tried running our server with 3 reserved slots but it would fill up with only 14 heads and all others (including those with the correct permissions) could not get in and use the last 2 slots.
I am wondering if the problem is with the user.ini file. We require our admins to log into the admin_mod with a password. So our User.ini file is setup using:
wonid:pass:accesslvl
Does this mean an admin (or a user with reserved slot access) has to log in with his password before he can join and take up a reserved slot? If so, how is this accomplished? Is it enough to have the user modify his autoexec.cfg file and inset the admin_password command?
Thanks in advance to any and all who reply!

the only way to use the reserved slot is to set your password in advance using autoexec.cfg on the client side.
autoexec.cfg does NOT exist by default, so if you don't have one then just create a new one using notepad or something. Then, you have to add a line similar to this.......
setinfo "server_password_field_here" "client_password_here"
in it, to find your server password field you'll need to look in your adminmod.cfg and it should be fairly obvious when you find it (they commented the crap outta that file)

Thats correct, i had this problem as well. You didn't have to do this in older versions of AM, but now its required.
no biggy.

Thanks much for replying and what you said makes a lot of sense. You are wise in the ways of the Admin mod!
ahhh, I still remember the days when most ppl either ran my script, jaguars, or *shock* the default.
I lured most people to my dark side with the talking "timeleft" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
