[cod] COD2 / Blocking sv_maxclients ?

[Ian mu]

Haven't tested this, but I guess you could do a readonly
donotchange.cfgfile (core settings not to change and that do not
change throughout the
game, maxclients, privateclients, maxrate etc), and then actually use
punkbuster, so I think it would be

pb_sv_task 60 300 exec donotchange.cfg

in your config, which would reset those vars every 5 mins. Like I said,
never tested in cod2, but might be a different angle you could approach the
problem from. (Nothing to ultimately stop them removing that task though if
they are wise enough). Or you could get a timed rcon or screen command to
send it if necessary.
