Keeping only a 2 slots open is somewhat limiting, since sometimes players join in parties of 3 or 4. Generally, just avoid setting the max size more than 10 over the current number of players for the best result.

Took me a while to find this too falcon, they mean on the procon start page next to the news feed there is a tab which says packages, from there procon will auto install plugins. For those who cannot access the ftp of their procon host those are the only plugins they can run.

Got it. I'll have to figure out how to get on that list.

If you use the plugin consistently, it should be on.

You can set the max for each game mode to whatever you want at the bottom of the options list.

The actual option is "On startup, assume round started at max server size_" with a Yes or No answer

 

I thought this was supposed to be set to NO in case Procon connected and the server size was lower than the actual max size?

 

Example -> 64 slot server with this plugin running and server has been re-sized to 32 slots. Procon crashes or is manually restarted - With the option set to NO wouldn't it assume the server was only 32 slots (or does the maximum server size setting over ride this_)

Right. If you run the plugin consistently, every round will have started at the max size, so if PRoCon is restarted, it assumes that the round was started at the max size, which it would have been if it was just a restart. This would only cause issues in the rare case that PRoCon was restarted while the server was changing rounds.

No. This plugin does not change maps or game modes. It only changes the maximum number of players. I'm working on another plugin that will change map rotations, though.

Would it be possible for you to add an option to set vars.idleTimeout to a value once the server is at a specific player count inside this plug-in? The idea of this plug in is to fill servers and part of that may be to have a few seeders. Those seeders can be kicked once they are no longer needed.

 

The idle kick plug does't work very well with the adaptive size plugin and only supports up to 32 players.

 

Note: I would pay for this addition.

No. It just will not change the max size to a value over whatever you specify while those maps are running. I'm working on another plugin that will change map rotations based on players.

Yeah, I use Automatic Round Restarter to change my idle timeout. You may consider trying that one out. That said, if you're willing to pay for it, I'll do whatever you want. Just send me a proposal via PM and I'll consider it.

I believe your plugin is setting max players to 32 for the Assault64 game mode (back to karkand maps). Can you add an option to override this? It was meant to be played with 64 players but your plugin is limiting that game mode to 32 I believe.

You can customize the max player size for each game mode. Also, there is no game mode called "Assault64". If you choose "Conquest Large" on the new maps, it will be Conquest Assault mode, but it's not called that. What PRoCon calls "Conquest Assault" in the map list is actually a modified Conquest Small (called Conquest Small Alt in my plugin) designed for 32 players.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I see that they changed all of this with PRoCon 1.1.3.1. I'll have to update, though serverInfo still returns ConquestLarge0, even for the "Assault64" maps, so it's just a visual change.

Can't help you if you don't provide logs.

It's very difficult to start a Conquest server with less than 8 players seeding. You should consider starting the server as Rush/TDM and then switching to Conquest once there are 12-16 players.

I'm sorry if this has been asked previously, but is it possible to implement a system where it changes the map rotation based on the number of players in the server? Ex. 32 Conquest Large?

 

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

 

*EDIT* Just noticed you answered my question on a previous request: myrcon.net/...adaptive-server-size#entry8490

Yup. Still working on it. It's nearing beta status. I'll be announcing it soon in a separate thread.

I just have this problem, the size of the server won't go up even after a new round started.

This is the debug info:

[17:45:22 39] AdaptiveServerSize: TASK -> 7 players online. 1 players joining. Server size set to 8, but should be 16. Round started at 8. Waiting for round to end.

[17:45:52 86] AdaptiveServerSize: TASK -> 8 players online. 0 players joining. Server size set to 8, but should be 16. Round started at 8. Waiting for round to end.

[17:46:06 03] AdaptiveServerSize: INFO -> Round ended.

[17:46:53 67] AdaptiveServerSize: TASK -> 7 players online. 0 players joining. Server size set to 8, but should be 16. Waiting for next round to start.

[17:47:06 35] AdaptiveServerSize: WORK -> Server size changed to maximum value (64 players) temporarily.

[17:47:08 91] AdaptiveServerSize: INFO -> Level loaded.

[17:47:24 00] AdaptiveServerSize: TASK -> 7 players online. 0 players joining. Server size set to 8, but should be 16. Round started at 8. Waiting for round to end.

Happened the same with the "on start up, assume round started at max server size" off

It's not being temporarily changed to the max server size between rounds, but I have no idea why not. You didn't rename or edit the files in any way, did you? If not, I'm stumped. The console log with Events turned on may help.
