Reservedslots
BAT support a 3 diffrent reserved slots sytems and valves new redirect interface. On of the things you will notice is that BAT hides admin slots automaticly so players that see your server dont think there is a slot open when there is none.
Diffrent settings ( Cvars, normaly set in BATConfig.cfg)
bat_reservedslotscount <Number of slots to reserve for admins/hide>The number of player slots reserved for admins ( Hidden from from the public)
bat_reservedslotsredirect <0|1>If players that are being kicked due to slot reservation should get a option to be redirected instead
bat_reservedslotsredirectaddress <IP address>
The IP address the user should be redirected to
What reservedslots system to use, explained more bellow
bat_reservedslots 1Will constanty hidesX number of slots, and will reseved slots no mather how many admins are connected.
bat_reservedslots 2This mode will hide X number of slots from the public, but if a admin connects it will lower the "admin slots" by 1. So if number of admins connected to your server go above bat_reservedslotscount they will be threated as regular players.
bat_reservedslots 3
This mode hides 1 slot constantly and will kick a none admin player from the server to keep the hidden slot open for admins (Kicks the none admin thats connected the shortest or a BOT ). This mode here ingores the bat_reservedslotscount cvar.
The way redirecting works is simple, when enabled a user will get the OPTION to redirect ( using the new system provided by Valve ) and has 10 seconds to make his choice. In this timeperiod your server will have 1 player to many ( IE any admin might be blocked from connecting depending on your setup). After this period is over the player will be kicked if he dident want to redirect. Its NOT posible to forcefully redirect a player as valve added protection against this, yes there exists posible workarounds on this but you will not see them in BAT.
