Values

-1Default Show the real maxplayers

Arguments

numberRequired
Slots to advertise, or -1 to use maxplayers.

What it does

Set it below maxplayers to advertise fewer slots than the server has, which is how reserved admin slots are usually set up: the hidden slots stay free for admins. Reserved slot plugins often set it for you. Leave it at -1 if you do not reserve slots.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
