Heres the situation...
A nice program called ServerExt does work with RO and gives you the abbility to have reserve slots.
It does have some minor issues, so i suggest not using "ExpandPlayerLimit". This forces a +1 to the max player limit, but once someone leaves it doesn't take it away. Meaning, your server has 32 slots, a reserve jumps in, the server changes to 33 slots. When someone leaves, the server doesn't move back down to 32. I suggest using the Kick Method.
There might be other problems. Reason is, ServerExt was built for UE2.0, RO is UE2.5, there are some capability issues.
USE AT OWN RISK!!
SETUP
(Windows)
1. Close server
2. Download ServerExt
3. Extract to <RO_Server_Dir>
(Linux)

1. Close Server
2. Download ServerExt
3. Extract to <RO_Server_Dir> Useing lowercase
-L = extracts in lowercase
OR
3. Extract to safe location
4. Convert all DIRs and sub-DIRs to lowercase
5. copy contents to <RO_Server_Dir> or manually move each file to proper location.
**RO install has all lowercase values because of HLDS converts everything to lowercase. ServerExt has upper case DIR's, since its the standart for UE games.
Installation
If you are using the single admin system you will have to change the following setting in RedOrchestra.ini:
If you are using the multiple admin system (xAdmin) you will have to change it to in RedOrchestra.ini:
Start Server
Configuration
The reserved slots can be configured via the WebAdmin. A new page is added to the main list, this page allows you to edit the reserved slots. The other settings might be available via the "defaults" page.
Add users in ReserveSlots section on top.
CDKeyHash=Global ID seen in Current>Players List
I would suggest using Kick Newest Player, for reason I stated in my intro.
Everything else is pretty self explanatory
You can also change settings in RedOrchestra.ini
should be the last section.
***EDIT
if all global ids are the same, you need to update to one of the beta server releases. look through the forums. reading is good for you
