How to set reserved slots?
« on: August 27, 2016, 06:09:35 PM »
Okay, so I want to set my server like so:
                I have twelve slots. I want admins and donators to have reserved slots. For example, lets say the server is completely full with 12 slots of just normal non admins/ non donors. If a donor or admin attempts to join, I want 1 of the 12 users on my server to be automatically kicked to make room for the admin/donor. Once that admin/donor leaves, the slot is open to anyone again. I know I have to do something in the config.txt. of ULX, but I'm still lost.

EDIT: I have the donator and admin ranks created already, I just want the people in those groups to have reserved slots

Xgui settings tab.

Make sure those ranks have the rslots perm.

Indeed. XGui settings is the location. reserved slot permission is what you want.
However, it's not going to be quite like you want it.
You can't have a full server and have someone join by using the server menu in game and have a person on the server kicked.
But you can get close.

See this info from our config.txt lua file. (Start at line 128)

I recommend using mode 2, and have the rslots visible mode off, and make sure your special groups know to use "connect <yourIP:yourPort>" to connect if it's 'full'.

I actually think mode 3 is closest to what they want. It will be what they described, other than the fact that they lose 1 slot.
