Ah, forgot about the 2142.

I'll help too.

I can attest to this statement. When any reservist/admin connects with the server maxed @ 60 players, the player count will jump to 61 {I'm that 61st player}. While I'm connecting {CC will show that I do not have a ping registering yet, which means I'm loading into the server}, once I complete the connection, right before my ping goes live showing I'm connected, the mod script will pick a random player who is not on the reservist list to kick from the server. I have witnessed 2 admins + 1 reservist connecting while the server was full, the server temporarily shows the player count @ 63/64. Once we complete the load in and just before our pings go live showing we are connected, a non-reservist player for each one of us connecting get's booted to make room for us. Next time the server status refreshes we are now at 60/64 players again. I've witnessed it work since I started playing here in the summer of '06. So, what really is the discussion about??

Firing up the match server, get on xfire if you are willing to help, and message me.

Can only set 1 reserved slot with 4 people, and the last time we tried it didn't work at all (even with no reservists on list, everyone could join and fill every slot).

Need at least 8 people to set 2 reserved slots, but hold on. I just told BD to move a thread to the public forums that should work nicely.

I know its old and I can't prove that nobody is joining on my team but in three years at TTP I have never seen a squadleader/copilot ever get randomly kicked...

Have you ever tried to connect to the server when it's full with a name that is not on the reservist list. I have and it wont let me connect with my alias bright one.

66.150.221.85 port # 16568

Join that server, no PW, if you can help test.

Sigh, CC is just a giant POS. I set the server to be 8 players with 2 slots, so max of 6, right? There is nobody on the reserve list, yet 7 are playing. Lame.
