From 10 slots to 12 slots

I recently rented to more slots for the server so I could create 2 spectator slots. Here comes the issue:

 

When I check my serverhost, I see there are 12 slots available. However in Procon it keeps saying max 10 active players. When I set the spectator limit at 2 the effective player limit goes back to 8. Despite the fact that I have rented a 12 slots server.

When I set the the player limit at 12 and the spectator limit at 0, the effective player limit remains at 10.

 

Somehow Procon doesn't "see" that I have a 12 slots server.

 

Does anyone know how I can solve this?

What's your startup.txt like?

 

For a server with 10 player slots and 2 spectator slots, making it a 12 slot server, your startup.txt should contain this:

 

Code:

# Server Settings #
###################
#Set max player count (can only go below the number that you ordered)
vars.maxPlayers 10

#Set maximum number of spectators
vars.maxSpectators 2

When you enter "vars.maxPlayers" into the console-tab it should return:

Code:

[19:16:20] vars.maxPlayers
[19:16:22] OK 12

If that is not the case, your server provider may have forgotten to add the extra slots after all.

Thaks for the reply!

 

My startup.txt displayed "vars.maxPlayers 12" and "vars.maxSpectators 2". I changed it in "vars.maxPlayers 10" and saved it in config editor of my server host. In Procon I set it up the same so I guess when I restart the server it should be fixed. Can't do this now beceause players are in the server.

If its not I contact my server host.

 

Thanks

I got a message from my server host, that there was indeed a setting on there side not good. They restored it and gave me 3 days back of server time.

 

Thanks for the replys.
