dedicated server insists I'm in spectator mode. Not true

[jaunty]

I set up a private server and when I custom login it says "only spectators on line"
when I turn spectator mode off is says I'm joining the game and goes back to
"only spectators online" .
I compiled from the lastest version 2.8.beta4 on opensuse 10.3 64bit.

Did you put your custom setting?
for instance if you set AUTO_TEAM 0 you'll need to create a new team manually to play.
If it's not that, post your settings or a screenshot

Thank you Hoop!

AUTO_TEAM now set to 1

It's hard slugging through all the options. ;^(

I know, they're a bit confusing
AUTO_TEAM may look like a setting to allow you create multi-players teams,
instead, it lets you set whether the server should or not manage teams when someone joins.
Inside the program, even if you are alone, you are always in a team.
Doesn't it sounds strange?
To avoid creating teams with more than 1 player just use TEAM_MAX_PLAYERS 1.
