max amount of players on one server..

I've looked and looked and looked trying to find a post about setting the max amount of players at one time on my server. Is there any way to do this? If so how. I must say that I really enjoy what you guys are doing with this. Thank you very much..

I haven't tested this personally, but just glancing through the addon.ini, there's a setting at the top that reads

Code:

$MAXCLIENTS=-1

Perhaps tweaking this would give the results you desire.

Yes i've seen that and tried tweaking it...I put it at 5, and had up to 10 players on my server at one time..I'll try different things with it.

What ndnet suggested is correct.

There are some situations where this setting will not be honored:
* Users with status >= 100 can bypass this setting
* The login server has some bugs in it that will, on rare occasion, let people in even after this limit has been reached. This is beyond your control.
* You must restart zone/world servers after making this change. If you change it after the server has started up, it won't take effect.

Thank you Merth. I understand now.
