Reserved slot system implemented? How does it work?

aeroripper

Saw this in the changelog:

Added a reserved player slot system

Anybody know how this works?

I wish the UWE was more organized.
I should have applied to be their P.E of Marketing.

I'm also interested to know how this operates. Is it a base system, or does it adjust the main server list to show it's full.

It doesn't work.

seems like it's just there to annoy you, join the nice looking "15/16 players" server and then get bounced back to the menu screen with "Server Full".

It's Super Effective!

The change was this:

Instead of having you join, load up. Then get kicked for reserved slot. It just saves you that time and trouble and says it's full. The next logical step is to have the browser show these reserved slots. At least it's a step in the right direction.

From what I've experienced, this is how it seems to be working for me.

My understanding on how it works is:
1. Set the number of total players for your server (e.g. 24)
2. Set the number of reserved slots for your server (e.g. 6)
3. Add everyone who you want to have reserved slot access to the serverconfig.json (or via webadmin) (e.g.

"reserved_slots": {
      "amount": 6,
      "ids": [ 3490104, 21571057, 205659, 3468792, 29156, 154361 ]
    },

Now, the server will show # of player slots = total players - reserved slots (e.g. 0/18) in the server browser, but will still let people who have reserved slot access to join when the server is 'full' (e.g. 18/18 -> 19/18 -> 20/18, etc).

However, its not working right at the moment.
