[cod] COD2 / Blocking sv_maxclients ?

[Chris Hearn]

A different approach to Jeff's solution would be:

Exec contract.cfg on the command line when launching the server (make the
file read only). Exec the customers config on the first line and then place
any dvar settings you want to override after this.

I have not tested this, but I can't see any reason it would not work.

Kind regards
Chris

You could have the server exec a 'contract.cfg' or similar included by the
server.cfg. This config would have vars which are manditory per the
customer's contract, and would over-write any identical vars in the server
config file. Although possible to remove the include, simply describe in
commented lines that altering or removing the contract config is not
allowed.
I've done this with sof2 servers.
