As known from other Games, there should be a reserved slots feature.
People with the priv "reservedslot" should be able to connect, even if the playerlimit is reached.
This could be solved by a mod which kicks the latest joining players when maxplayers-2 is reached.
Engine support would be better.
So the admin (and his friends) can always connect.
Alternative:
Kick last 2 Players or 2 Random Players when a privileged player connects.

Nobody actually uses the max players in the conf file, so this is redundant as Minetest supports a near infinite players at once.
Provided you have a good network connection.

i actually do and its necessary to keep the cpu load low enough, so it does not lag.
so you cant run more than i think 10-15 players on a p4.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
MAX_PLAYERS = 6
minetest.register_privilege("reserved_slot")
minetest.register_on_prejoinplayer(function(name, ip)
if #minetest.get_connected_players() >= MAX_PLAYERS - 2 and
not minetest.check_player_privs(name, {reserved_slot = true}) then
return "Too many users on this server"
end
end)

It's a very good idea !
Reserved slots is activable for other games...
@rubenwardy
Can you make a quick guide step by step for implement your commands code ?

- Create a folder called "reserved" in your mod folder. (ie: ~/.minetest/mods)
- Paste the code into a new file in that folder called init.lua. Modify MAX_PLAYERS to suit your needs
- Enable the mod.
- /grant player reserved_slot
