Important: Reserve Slots & Procedures - CaffeinePowered - 04-15-2008
This is important if anyone wants to use their reserve slot in the future :
With the increase to 25 slots, the server still shows 24, this is because the 25th slot is hidden. Any normal player browsing will see 24/24 and think the server is full up. This is good because previously people would join the server get all the way in, and then get booted by the reserved slot system, this prevents that and keeps casual browsers happy
Now, in order to connect to the server you have to first actually be in TF2, you cant do it from the steam server browser window if the server is at 24/24. You have to open the console and type 'connect 8.12.20.112:27015' this will override the game not letting you connect. When you get in the plugin functions as normal and kicks the person with the lowest connected time not on the list.
To reiterate you MUST CONNECT MANUALLY if the server is full:
1) Start TF2
2) Open the Console
3a) type connect 8.12.20.112:27015 (server #1)
3b) connect 18.243.2.105 (server #2)
3c) connect 217.115.196 (server #3)
In order to get your Steam ID, you need to take the following steps
1) Enable the developer console, go to options, keyboard, advanced, check the box, the key is ~ by default
2) Join any TF2 server
3) Open the console and type 'status', this will display your steamID which looks like STEAM_0:0:12345
4) Copy the ENTIRE THING, and paste it here

Oh my god, I'm so confused. :o
Make it less complicated. Two steps I could handle, three not so much.
Re: Important: New Reserve Procedures - Negate - 04-16-2008
I'll write you a script so it becomes a one step procedure.
alias "Ditup" "connect 8.12.20.112:27015"
bind "F12" Ditup
That should work just add it to your autoexec.cfg

Im pretty sure binds like that dont work unless you are actually connected to a sever
Re: Important: New Reserve Procedures - Negate - 04-16-2008
I can't connect to steam here so it was just a quick and dirty thing if it doesn't work whatever.
Re: Important: New Reserve Procedures - fyre - 04-16-2008
I can do 3 steps. It's not a problem.

Or you could type in tf2.ams-sec.org:27015 (Yes I just set that up)
I'm cheaper than godaddy... I ask only $4.98...

I used it to connect last tonight. Though it didn't work until I pulled up the console and then hit F12. A little weird, but I have the memory of a goldfish. Telling me to hit F12 will probably work out a lot better than remembering some commands to enter.

I know jack about this but doesn't this just tell it to type that or something. Don't you need to direct it to console or use a different command. I dunno I'm just trying to intuit this.

Yea, that's what I thought. I thought it was really weird that it actually worked, but then again, I'm terrible at making simple binds and aliases.
Re: Important: New Reserve Procedures - HuckBerryGee - 04-23-2008
I'm not into that alias fetishism.
bind "f3" "connect 8.12.20.112:27015 ;password alsococks"
I'll just change the pass when need be.

So it turns out I don't have to open console to make this work, I'm just not hitting the keys hard enough. I've noticed in games that I usually have a very hard time switching to the slot 2 weapon. It turns out, way back in the day, I spilled a can of PBR all over my keyboard. I think it's dying. :'(
