Is more than 32 players possible ?
 

How about build 2 servers on a same computer and reflect each other's player as fake entities? Let the plugin do the synchronization. Like monsters in HL1 but controlled by other server.
Let's assume bandwidth is very high and server is high-end. Is it possible to do that? I'm curious.


#EDIT

Anyway this discussion is getting nowhere. I'm asking this question on curiosity and seek for discovery. I'm being polite as much as possible. But I'm didn't expect such hostile and malice.

OK! In this forum I admit beyond 32 players is impossible, you win! Congratulations.

I requested admins to close or remove this thread. If not, please don't reply and let this thread sink, Thank you.

And the reason is? How about maps with no moveable entity like de_dust2?

Client dll must be edited to realize that, so..

Why ? Can't server just fool client by sending fake data packs?

Re: Is more than 32 players possible ?
 

And where is the client going to store the data from these fake packets?

Other players can be just npc monsters with player model in client's view, they don't necessary occupy 1-32 player slots

So you're asking for a completely rework of the engine. Start aiming to other games, because this one is old and unsupported for Valve now, CS client source code is closed source, reworks may have legal issues.

Why we need to change client code? Like I said fake players from another server are just npc monsters like hostage( or just pure model entity ). With plugin is fully capable to put these entites in server's side.

If it's possible, it will be extremely unlikely that it would be playable. IIRC, this has been asked before (it's been a while) so it might be worth trying to find that thread to see what was said there.
