<div class="IPBDescription">A couple simple questions</div>Ok, I have been looking and messing around but I'm not sure how to set maxplayers.  Setting maxplayers in server.cfg doesn't seem to change anything, it always starts with the default 24.  Typing maxplayers XX in the dedicated server window just brings up a message that you can't change maxplayers while the server is running.  How can I set maxplayers for the NSDS?

Also, how can I set a password for my server?

Thanks much,

Brian

Edit: Ok, i just figured out how to set maxplayers, do i just specify "password blah" if i want my server to have a password of blah in autoexec?

    Also, is there any way to see how many people (and who) are on which teams directly from the server console?

    Brian:

    Set the server variable sv_password to whatever you want your password to be in server.cfg

    e.g.

    sv_password "myserverpassword"


    bmd: do 'status' command in the console.

    e.g.

    status

    For reference:

    To set the maxplayers , just add the line +maxplayers 12   after the hlds.exe !

    ex:

    C:\Sierra\Halflife\hlds.exe -game ns -port 27105 +maxplayers 12 +map ns_bast -noipx
