    Is that the only way to fill these admin slots? Because I join servers with the "connect" console command and it seems to kick players on a 24/24 filled server.

    It shouldn't let you join through "connect" via console if the server is 24/24.

    I'm not admin, afaik ;) And the server was full with 24/24, maybe someone left at the very same second, I didn't check the number of players when I got in. I'll try again later !

    Maybe it kicks a user when someone uses connect, then thats a bug. But how to test?

    Let's gather regs on an empty / test server. Then someone (not an admin) joins using "connect", and we'll see if someone is kicked... ^^'

    It should; each server has 32 slots, 8 are hidden and reserved for admins in case they need to connect to a server to do admin stuff when its full; but most just use it anyway.

    I thought that was the whole point of the 8 hidden slots?

    only admins should be allowed to do /connect.. regulars players should not. I believe khadgar said he fixed that last time, if this is not the case then we should fix it since we dont want people to get kicked because of this.

    in the beginning everybody could, but then too much people started to know about this. so other players complained that didn't know about the /connect and sometimes we would have 26/27 players on a servers, which is a bit odd too ;p thats why we where disabling it to admins only. (since they should be able to join because of a admin call)

    Its admin only.
    This has been tested AND confirmed.

    If a players joins when the server is full he will start to load and on connect he gets kicked for taking a reserved slot.
    Ofcourse this was tested before the MannFuckUpsary Update.....

    I just tried and it worked on AM1... but it took some time, and when I got in there were only 23 players so I can't be sure.
