Hello,

I have placed some left4dead gserver. They run well, everything ok, but when I define the slots, maybe 4, the server always have 18slot..

The config is the default gamecreate cfg which create by creating the server with it. I've tried to change the command line like this, but the problem is still the same.. look:

Code:
-game left4dead -console -norestart -nocrashdialog +maxplayers 24 +tv_port <gc:eval>%server:port% + 10</gc:eval> +map %startmap% +ip %server:ip% +port %server:port% +exec port%server:port%.cfg


gamecreate config:

Code:
//Name of the server
hostname "xxx"

// Associate server with a Steam Group (must be steam group number)
sv_steamgroup ""

mp_gamemode "survival"


// Setting a search key effectively hides the servers from the matchmaking system
// since everyone else has a blank search key set in their client (the default)
// sv_search_key "example"

sv_tags ""

sv_lan 0
sv_region 5

// your server password. a pair of double quotes means it is not set and anyone can join
sv_password ""



// start rcon settings
rcon_password "xxx"
sv_rcon_banpenalty 5
sv_rcon_maxfailures 10
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
+maxplayers 24

// Enable disk logging to try and diagnose any server crashes
sv_logfile 1
sv_logsdir "logs/9332905"

motdfile motd21350.txt
hostfile host21350.txt

tv_port 21360


So I cant setup in the configuration of left4dead the maximum server, when I do this, the server will crash because the maximum players are to high.

I hope you will understand, sorry for my english.

thanks

The max players is set to 32, and the default is set to 8 slots.

I'm not sure what the problem is exactly.

The game counts any spawned special infected as a player slot, so it will often be higher than the max players.

ok, i have set the max players to 8 but the gameserver shows me in the console for example 3/18 players.

how much does the gameserver have now? 8 or 18? its a little bit weird for me.. sorry.

so, could it be that left4dead only can have 4 or 8 slots?? not more??!

Are you using linux or windows?

All of our servers(all windows) are querying the correct amounts when different player numbers are set.

Status output in the consoles is also showing correct values.

I've checked the main settings for L4D and they appear correct.

Are you sure the config files is being picked up correctly?

ok. i will check this.

OS: windows

i will create a new server.

here's the gamecreate config:

maximum slots: 8

command line:
Code:
-game left4dead -console -norestart -nocrashdialog +maxplayers %server:players% +tv_port <gc:eval>%server:port% + 10</gc:eval> +map %startmap% +ip %server:ip% +port %server:port% +exec port%server:port%.cfg"


saved cfg on root:

Code:
//Name of the server
hostname "xxx"

// Associate server with a Steam Group (must be steam group number)
sv_steamgroup ""

mp_gamemode "versus"


// Setting a search key effectively hides the servers from the matchmaking system
// since everyone else has a blank search key set in their client (the default)
// sv_search_key "example"

sv_tags ""

sv_lan 0
sv_region 5

// your server password. a pair of double quotes means it is not set and anyone can join
sv_password ""

// start rcon settings
rcon_password "xxx"
sv_rcon_banpenalty 5
sv_rcon_maxfailures 10
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0

// Enable disk logging to try and diagnose any server crashes
sv_logfile 1
sv_logsdir "logs/9332996"

motdfile motd21200.txt
hostfile host21200.txt

tv_port 21210


console says:

Code:
25.7 fps  0/18 on map l4d_vs_farm01_hil
#Console initialized.
#Unable to remove c:\gamecreate\left4de
#Game.dll loaded for "L4D - Co-op - Nor
Server is hibernating
Queuing heartbeat send to legacy master
Game supporting (2) split screen player
maxplayers set to 18
maxplayers set to 18
Unknown command "port"
Unknown command "sv_rcon_banpenalty"
Unknown command "sv_rcon_maxfailures"


so do you see what i mean?

Sad

thanks

EDIT:

I also had tried this in the command line but it is still the same problem..

Code:
-game left4dead -console -norestart -nocrashdialog -maxplayers 8 -minimum_maxplayers 8 -absolute_maxplayers 8 -default_maxplayers 8 +tv_port <gc:eval>%server:port% + 10</gc:eval> +map %startmap% +ip %server:ip% +port %server:port% +exec port%server:port%.cfg

I'm seeing this on servers now in the console.

When you run 'status' in the console are you seeing it set to something other than what the game mode supports though?

e.g. when I run a server in campaign mode the server comes up and the console says
maxplayers set to 18

When I run status in the console it comes up with this -
players : 0 humans, 0 bots (4 max) (hibernating) (unreserved)

Same goes for Versus mode -
players : 0 humans, 0 bots (8 max) (hibernating) (unreserved)

This should automatically stop any more than the listed number of players joining.

At a guess I'd say this is Valve's doing, and has something to do with special infected using player slots on servers. Querying a server should still show 4 or 8 slots, but the amount of 'players' can be much higher than that.

on 8max i can see that 8 players are the maximum ok, then I can only set them to 4 or 8 slot only, correct?

It'll show 4 or 8 depending on what mode is being played. I don't think setting maxplayers to 2 for e.g. will limit it to two, since the game is automatically setting maxplayers to 18.

You need to use sourcemod and plugins to get more than 8 people in a server.
