Hi. First post so hi :D . Can anyone tell me (I am new to this stuff). Does setting private clients (under 'Player slots setup' in server.cfg) work in CoD4?. So, for example, if I purchase an 18 slot server can I make two of the slots private = 16 public slots. (Will it show 18 or 16 slots in the in-game server browser??).

I set a password here .. set sv_privatePassword "xxx" in the server.cfg, right?? But how do I actually connect to my server using the private slot & password?

Sorry if this seems a bit noobish, but everyone's got to start somewhere lol.

Cheers
Jules.

Yes in a word you can set it so that it shows say 32 but 2 are private 30(32)in the server view

the private slots kick in when there is 30 players in it would ask for a pssword I believe feel free to correct me any one

All you have to do is

set sv_privateclients "<number of private slots"

eg: set sv_privateclients "4"

and

set sv_privatePassword <private password here>

Wow, quick reply! Thanks. Well, that makes sense .. so if you pay for a server and set it up the way you like (no shipment map lol), you can actually connect anytime. I wasn't aware of how the private slots kick in.

Is there a way of kicking people in-game yet? Any ideas?

****Uber Admin Tip*****

If you edit your default shortcut for cod4 multiplayer (make a duplicate if you have to and call it 'my server')

Then right click on shortcut and select properties

And in the target where it says:"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe"

add this after the last speech mark:

+connect 195.242.236.210:28961 +password pspass +rcon login rpass

Replacing the IP, pspass & rpass with your IP, private slot password, and rcon password

That way when you fire up the game from that shortcut your connected, logged in and ready to rock and roll.
