max players?

[DoctorGordon3]

I have almost no experience running a server, can someone explain how i set up the max amount of players?

Thanks

open the file srcds/hl2mp/cfg/valve.rc, look for maxplayers 14, and change the number to whatever you want :|

Ok thanks, i did just that. But when i fired up my server, i looked in the consol...it says:

"
execing valve.rc
maxplayers set to 4
maxplayers set to 32
"

It seems to have auto-changed it back to 32.

open the console and type Maxplayers #

# being the number you want, seems to work.

Already tried that, it said i cant change the max amount of players while the server is running.

yup, you cant change it while it's running..

strange, thats exactly what i did, and it works fine

try to remove the maxplayers line from valve.rc, and restart the server with +maxplayers [number] in the command line .. should work as well
