<div class="IPBDescription">'There are no reserved slots'</div> </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>You have been disconnected from the server.

Given that all the servers I get that on are pubs, shouldn't that read there are no <i>un</i>reserved slots?

Delarosa · February 2004

it means that all un-reserved slots are take, and the only ones that are reserved (which you don't fit into)...

Many servers will kick the highest pinger when a player with a reseved slot connects, to free the slot for him. That's when that kick message appears.

BizZy_9mm_Messiah · February 2004

Is there any other judging of who gets kicked besides highest ping?

Creepie · February 2004

Last in first out.

something like this..
// Non-team specific
#define SCORE_NOTEAM 0 // Spectators/Readyroomers
#define SCORE_RESERVED 1000 // Player has reserved slot access.
#define SCORE_RCON 10000 // Player has rcon access.
#define SCORE_DEAD 0 // Kick dead people before anybody else.
#define SCORE_FRAGS 0.5 // Factor for frags. Float value.
#define SCORE_LOWTEAM 500 // Player is on a team with a lower amount of players. (To help curve uneven teams.)

// Marine specific
#define SCORE_COMMANDER 200 // Player is: commander
#define SCORE_HEAVY 20 // Player is: heavy armor
#define SCORE_JETPACK 20 // Player is: jetpacker
#define SCORE_LIGHT 0 // Player is: light armor
Whoever has lowest number of points..kicked.

// Alien specific
#define SCORE_SKULK 0 // Player is: skulk
#define SCORE_GORGE 20 // Player is: gorge
#define SCORE_LERK 30 // Player is: lerk
#define SCORE_FADE 40 // Player is: fade
#define SCORE_ONOS 50 // Player is: onos
#define SCORE_EGG 10 // Player is: gestating
#define SCORE_UPGRADE 1 // For each upgrade they have. Keep low.
#define SCORE_RES 0.5 // factor for resources in a score. This is to be a float value.

Didn't know you could automatically kick people so specifically. That's pretty cool.

Hello, the aurthor means the context in the message, not the reason. I think Steam thinks that reserved slots are pub slots <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

It get's a bit irritating when you try to join a server that appear's to be 20/28 and the other 8 slot's are type 0 reserved (admin mod) so you can't join.

Creepie · February 2004

Not as annoying than joining a 20/28 server and finding that everyone is a bot.

BattleTech · February 2004

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (_Creep_ @ Feb 9 2004, 07:23 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> Not as annoying than joining a 20/28 server and finding that everyone is a bot.  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> 
Haha. Reminds me of the time I joined a 1.04 server, it was all bots, like I gave all the "marines" a waypoint (not noticing them bots). So they started wandering all over the map, then a marine just started asking for random turret factorys at resource nozzles that already had turret factorys. Then I started dropping jetpacks, a couple of the "marines" picked them up and started walking around the map. I was like WTH, I hit tab and I saw they were all bots and I was comming for 15 minutes.

If I join a server with RS and it does not state that in the server name or MODT, it gets put into my do-not-refresh list.

I hate when retarded admins waste my time.

Quadie · February 2004

A nice program to use to see how many reserved slots a server is is HLSW (http://www.hlsw.net), dunno if you could do it with ASE too (http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2)

Align · February 2004

ASE even puts you "in line" when there are no slots available.

Note that this is about when you try to join a server, and then after it says Validating resources... in the join window, you get kicked with a small window, saying that stuff about reserved slots.

Necro · February 2004

this is an adminmod (or similar thing) basically the admin reserves a few slots for himself and fellow clanmembers.

Status_Quo · February 2004

Yes yes, I think we all know what the message means by now. The problem is that while it means something, it says the exact opposite. If there are "no reserved slots", you would think that, well, there are no reserved spots i.e. you can join as long as the server is not full. Like the original post pointed out (and from what I can tell, no one but me and a few other lost souls noticed), it should say "<b><u>un</u></b>reserved spots".
