cannot join my own 2.4 ctf-server [SOLVED]

[pete.dawgg]

i have set up a nexuiz-2.4-ctf-server for home&office-use, but i cannot join it with more than one client; the second client immediately gets the message: server is full. there's just 2-3 players who want to play nexuiz-ctf (on the same team, mostly) with bot-balanced teams.
after the first client has joined, no one else can join; i have experimented with a lot of different (min/maxplayers, botnumber, g_maxplayers, ....) settings. i could not a comprehensive documentation of all those values on the web or in the included documentation.
does anybody know which values to put there so we can play that way?
here's the relevant parts of my server.cfg:

Code: Select all

set "bot_number" "6"
set "minplayers" "8"
set "maxplayers" "10"
set "g_maxplayers" "12"

commenting one of the last two lines does not change anything, either.

thx for your help!

just of mind, did not check it but i think maxplayers IS NOT a variable but a command.. so it should be:
maxplayers 10
With your lines i'm sure it does not get changed from the default 8 and thus minplayers is too high and you get blocked by bots.

g_maxplayers is not used at all i think.. it should also nolonger be in Nexuiz 2.4 but maybe older versions had it. And i think looking into Nexuiz/Docs/server is also helpful.

g_maxplayers 12 doesn't exist I think.
maxplayers 10 is the number of slot you let open (10 people can join)
bot_number 6 means 6/10 slots are occupied by a bot. if a player joins, 6 + 1 slots will be occupied.
minplayers 8 means 8/10 slots are always occupied; 8 bots if there isn't any human players joining the game; or 7 bots + 1 human players; or 6 bots + 2 humans; etc.
usually you set bot_number or minplayers, but not both in the same time.
Also, you could be interested by the bot_vs_human variable.

thx you all, it works now!
with

Code: Select all

//set "bot_number" "8"
set "skill" "6"
set "minplayers" "8"
//set "maxplayers" "12"
//set "g_maxplayers" "8"
maxplayers 10

we can all join.

where can i find info about the bot_vs_human-variable and how do i know what's a variable and what's a command? i'm pretty sure i've searched all the included docs but did not find it (i think it's important to rtfm before posting )

The soon to be released Nexuiz 2.4.1 has got a good cleanup for Nexuiz/Docs/server .. its a good way to find out about using the dedicated server and how to setup it.
