dont need lots of ettv for trial and error, just see what the max players is reported as in server browser Smile


LOL I figured that out by myself already Wink. That reports 18 for my first case and 14 for my 2nd.

What I want to know is when it has those 14 allowed players in there, is there still room left for those 4 ETTVs then when you set sv_maxclients to 14? Or do you need to set it to 18?

In other words, does ettv_sv_maxslaves have an impact on sv_maxclients or not?

Yep that is it. After playing a bit with slot settings and firing up 3 ETTV sessions I even noticed ettv_sv_maxslaves takes precedence over all other slots.

your browser just reports back sv_maxclients value?

server browser should report sv_maxclients - sv_private clients at worst, so should be showing 16 & 12 or 12 & 8 player slots, respectively.

Yes HLSW shows sv_maxclients - sv_privateclients, problem is it totally ignores ETTV slots. So with my example settings I got 16 (18) and 12 (14) displayed.

If you want to be absolutely certain about reserved slots for ETTV you have to do 12 + 2 + 4 for sv_maxclients & do 2 + 4 for sv_privateslots. At least that is for HLSW.

If you don't do that ETTV will eat up 4 slots regardless of whether they are private or general.

EDIT: did a quick test with ASE and that displays only the number of (what it thinks to be) public slots. So there I got 16 & 12, but in reality it is in fact 12 & 8.

So for now I'd recommend setting the number of private slots to include ettv_sv_maxslaves. Here's an example from one of my cfg's:

Code:
   //
   // When calculating the number of slots take into account that ETTV has priority!
   // So if you want to have 12 players, 2 guarantueed private slots and 4 ETTV slots,
   // these are the required settings:
   //
   // set ettv_sv_maxslaves    4
   // set sv_privateclients    6 (= 4 + 2)
   // set sv_maxclients       18 (= 4 + 2 + 12)
   //

I found out the hard way that in this case one would have 10 reserved slots and only 8 public slots as ETTV slots do not eat up private slots.

So you have to do it in fact this way:

Code:
   // set ettv_sv_maxslaves    4
   // set sv_privateclients    2
   // set sv_maxclients       18 (= 4 + 2 + 12)


The server will report 16 public slots but in fact only 12 are really public. Hence my feature request that I posted here.

this is exactly what was stated in the above statement Smile
Code:

ettv_sv_maxslaves    4
privateslots         2
publicslots          12

needs to be set this way:
Code:
set ettv_sv_maxslaves    4
set sv_privateclients    6 (= 4 + 2)
set sv_maxclients       18 (= 4 + 2 + 12)

I think you misunderstood what I posted: in case 1 you will have 6 reserved slots & 12 public, in case 2 you will have 10 reserved (4 + 4 + 2) and only 8 public.

So the following code is correct but it will show differently in server browsers:

Code:
set ettv_sv_maxslaves    4
set sv_privateclients    2 (not 6)
set sv_maxclients       18 (= 4 + 2 + 12)
