COD4 sv_maxclients, ui_maxclients and sv_privateclients

[Ronny Schedel]

Hello,

I never configured a COD server before and have some questions about these 
cvars and how they work. I run an admin script which handle the admin and 
reserved slots. Our server is currently a max 32 player server. The script 
will kick all people who connect on the 32nd slot and have no reserved slots 
rights. So the server will stay always at 31/32 players. The problem is for 
the people who gets kicked every time they connect, I want to handle this 
better. With hlds/srcds I set the maxplayer to 32 and I have a 
sv_visiblemaxplayer set to 31. At the end the server will look like 31/31 
when it is full. But I have the hidden slot 32 for people with reserved slot 
access. When such a people joins, the server says 32/31 for the connection 
and then kick some other people later. I want to achieve this also with the 
COD4 server. Is it possible? Which settings does I have to use? How does the 
sv_privateclients works? Can I use an empty password for this?

Best regards

Ronny
