but that shows up as 3 red, 3 green, 11 total in the server list. I've tried many combinations, but it just doesn't seem to make sense. Where did the 11 come from? I'm sure I'm overlooking something, and would appreciate any help here. TIA.-mp 8 -mp {,3,3,0,0}

server config question
Can someone help me make sense of the -mp (max players) option? I am running a server on cable modem and want to limit the players to 3 red and 3 green with a total maximum of 8 players (rouges taking up the slack, up to 8). I tried:
I am not 100% sure (would have to look at the soruce, but I am lazy), but I think that the additional 3 players are observer slots. You can change the number of observer with the -mo option. It might be a good idea to display this in more detail in the server list, it hasn't been done yet because observers were introduced in a hackish way without breaking backward compatibility.
-mp {<total-count> 11 {rogue-count}5 , {red-count}3, {green-count}3, {blue-count} 0, {purple-count}0
-mo {observer}20000...........just kidding
the default value for observer is 3....
