It looks like reserved slots for etqw are truly unavailable for pub players (unlike bf2142 where reserved slots can be used by pubs but you may be kicked if a reserved player wants your slot).
for etqw, free pub slots should be: [$server_players_maximum] - rule("si_privateClients")
For Ron but especially the other etqw players on the forum - Is this correct? If so, could you change the logic for etqw to set [$server_free_public_slots] this way?
TIA,
dG
