Reducing the number of players to start the server.

Problem with this is stat padding as well, had a few people come on TS the last few days and ask for kicks when people have been sat on the server just running around capping points or destroying vehicles and repping them etc.

does anyone really worry about this as long as they are populating the server?

Well when you have 8 people trying to start the server and 4 of them are just sat in their spawn repairing their own EOD bot or whatever and everyone who joins leaves 10seconds later then... yeah

Thought that as the server hit 8 the player count went up to 16 and so on?

Hunt down and kill the padders

This didn't happen when I was on. Even at map change. It stayed at 8 players.

who ever runs the plugin must have not been on line

The server was reasonably busy yesterday once the plugin got booted up but it was dead before.

Is there anyway to keep it running full time?

Also can we reduce our respawn times for player and vehicals? I would say quick spawn ftw.
