I would agree, 30 is to many.

A slight increase to deal with the high volume times would be good though.

Maybe 24 or 26.

Comon people, were's your money at. Lets get this server going.

Dell has 25% off their servers right now (which is what I was counting on for the $1400 price) - which is good for another week, so if we can raise the money in the next week we will be good to go. The have the discounts most of the time, but they space it out some.

50 bucks sent.

*cross fingers for TFC soon*

table was corrupted, i fixed it.

And THANKS for the donation! I'll get that added in the total right away.

*looks at wallet* *looks at dad* god damn it!

steal it while hes sleeping.

I may be able to get some more $$$ to ya this week or next, just depends on how my b-day and grad presents come in and what not.

Reserve Slot
 

Paul,

Do you think I could get a reserve slot for that donation I made. I'm still having troubles connecting, very difficult last night.

It appears that the server has reserved 2 slots for people in your reserveslots.txt file. I believe through mani's mani_server.cfg you can have people kicked while in game when a person with a reserve slot joins, based on ping etc.. Many times I see 20 people on the server and can't join because of the way the reserve slots are setup, I may be wrong, but feel my assumptions are correct.

You can change the "mani_reserve_slots_allow_fill", I believe it is defined as "0" keeping the slots open in your server to a "1", and then they will be allowed to fill. Then have mani_reserve_slots_kick_method "0", this way the highest ping player gets kicked first.

Hi Mike,

I have no problem with you having a reserved slot, but it doesnt work and I'm not sure why. Here are the settings:


mani_reserve_slots 1 // Turn on off reserve slots
mani_reserve_slots_number_of_slots 2 // Number of reserve slots you have
mani_reserve_slots_kick_message "You were disconnected for using a reserve slot" // User defined message shown in players console when kicked
mani_reserve_slots_redirect_message "This server is full, you are being redirected to another one of our servers" // User defined message for redirection $
mani_reserve_slots_redirect "" // The IP address of the server you wish to redirect players to. Leave it blank if you do not want redirection to $
mani_reserve_slots_allow_slot_fill 1 // This defines whether you want your reserve slots to fill with reserve players or always be kept free (1 = allow$
mani_reserve_slots_kick_method 0 // Type of method used to kick players, 0 = by highest ping (spectators first), 1 = by connection time (sp$
mani_reserve_slots_include_admin 1 // Include admins in the adminlist.txt file as players who have reserve slots (1 = include admins)
