More player slots?

[Lithium16]

My server only has 1 player slot right now and I dont know how to expand the slots. Any help? (I searched and couldnt find any topics on this)

By default it has 5 enabled so go back and change it. You HAD to have changed this value or else it wouldnt be set to 1. Next time dont change things unless you know what they do and how to reverse it.

Account.cs: near the bottom.

		/// <summary>
		/// Gets the maximum amount of characters allowed to be created on this account. Values other than 1, 5, or 6 are not supported.
		/// </summary>
		public int Limit
		{
			get{ return 5; }
		}

How did you search for this? I did a search for: "player slots" and browsed through the results.

On thread contained this post:

Edit: lol. And by Packer898 above.

Huh? There is nothing to set for max players on the server. You mean maximum accounts per IP?

ok like on UOGateway on the Public Serverlist it shows On/Avg/Max players on the far right on the server. im talking about increasing that max so more players can join my server...

That is not the max your server can have. Its the max that have been logged on so far. It will increase when more palyers are on the server at one time. Staff accounts do not count toward that total either.

*sigh* nevermind...

Dont *sigh* You dont have the slighest clue what you are talking about. the on/avg/max is not a cap its what UOGateway is seeing everytime they log onto your server. If their client logs on and see's that you have 10 people on then it will increase your max to 10 and raise your average accordingly.

I never thought I could become so jaded in only two days.

Im probably a little snappy tonight. I dont feel good and didnt get much sleep last night. I just hate it when people dont explain themselves and you gotta jump thru hoops like this just to figure out what they are talking about. Then once you figure it out they leave some smartass comment like that. lol

Anyway its probably me... *Sorry...

Well np but this is still confusing. If you look on UOGateway right now you will see my server red, its really up but Gateway hasnt updated again and its at 0/0/1 i need to make that 1 go up...and you said staff accounts dont take up that space...mine does

[Packer898]

Well I dont "think" that staff characters count. But I could be wrong. Have you never logged a player character on before?

The only way to "make' that number go up is to have more player characters on when the client bot or whatever it is hits your server every 15-30 minutes.

There is nothing you can do about this. Humor me... Make like 3 different accounts and log a player character on and leave them on for a while. You will see that the next time that UOGateway updates your information your max will then be 3. Its not the max allowed, its the max your shard has had on at one time.

ok thanks for clearing that up

I do understand exactly what you're saying. If your shard is red, then there is a problem with people connecting to it. In order for your shard to be blue (it is blue for "up" shards right?) UOGateway needs to be able to connect to it. Every 30 minutes, UOGateway will ping your shard. If it can't connect, it will assume your shard is down. If it can connect, it disconnects right away, and it will update your shard on UOGateway to show as up. That's why you're only at one. UOGateway can't connect to your shard, which means other people probably can't either. That number will not go above 1 unless other people log on, and are on when UOGateway pings. For instance, if Packer and I logged onto your shard, and UOGateway happened to ping while we were on, you would go from 1 to 3 (assuming you were on at the same time). It seems like some sort of connection issue. After you fix that, UOGateway will be able to ping you, and others will be able to connect.

ok thank you to both of you guys
