OpenArena's modified ioquake3 engine includes g_humanplayers and g_needpass in server info. The OpenArena UI optionally uses this information to exclude bots when displaying how full a server is, and to hide servers which need a password; these both seem like good things for a mod or standalone game to do.
Patch on the way once I have a bug number; this is part of ongoing work in Debian to replace OpenArena's modified engine with a more current ioquake3, plus a wrapper script that sets com_standalone, fs_game, etc. as appropriate.

Add g_humanplayers cvar to g_main.c
Created a patch based on OpenArena/oax to add g_humanplayer to game.
Changes from oax are: (1) use 'trap_Cvar_VariableIntegerValue( "g_humanplayers" )' instead of 'g_humanplayers.integer' to fix setting g_humanplayers after map_restart. (2) count connecting players as human (they are using a client slot after all). and (3) send the number of humans during intermission.

Server finds number of humanplayers
Replace the need for g_humanplayers cvar by having the server find the value. This allows g_humanplayers to be set for all mods.

Thanks, this looks like a good start; it's missing g_needpass and the client-side, but I'll look into adding those.

Combined two previous patches, Simon's patch and my automatic setting of g_humanplayers in server patch.

Looks good to me! I'll try it out in Debian shortly.
