How To Set Reserved Slots On Your Squad Server

Reserved slots keep part of your Squad server free for your admins and members, so they can still get in when the server is full.

Setting Reserved Slots

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Basic, set Reserved Slots to the number of slots you want to keep free.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Reserved slots come out of your max players. With Max Players at 80 and 2 reserved slots, 78 slots are open to the public.

Giving Players A Reserved Slot

Players can use a reserved slot when they are in a group with the reserve permission. Add a group for your members in Admins.cfg, following our adding admins guide:

Group=Members:reserve
Admin=PLAYER_STEAM64_ID:Members
