Dumb question time......

(=TAC=Chron) #1

i cannot connect to a private slot on my server. i have the sv_privatePassword set. it shows up when i check from the console. i have maxclients at 18 (only 14 show up in the play online screen) and private at 4.

What am i missing here??? :???:

Are you using 1.2? Supposedly there was a bug that didnt allow ppl to join priv server slots sometimes, but 1.2 fixed it.

yes, i am running 1.02.

Use sv_privatepassword “blabla” on the server and /password “blabla” on the client, that works

The client only needs /password set to access the private slots. All sv_ commands are server specific, and if you’re connecting your client to a different server the client never reads anything stored in those values.

You run into the same thing with the allowDownload setting. sv_allowDownload is set on a server if you want clients to be able to download missing elements. cl_allowDownload allows clients to choose on their own end if they should download missing elements. Setting cl_allowdownload 1 in the server console does nothing, likewise sv_allowdownload on a client does nothing.
