Another hint, for the client rejects when over 4 or 8 players:

005c3d48 <_Z20GetNumPlayersForMode8GameMode>:
5c3d48: 8b 54 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%edx
5c3d4c: b8 04 00 00 00 mov $0x4,%eax
5c3d51: 83 fa 06 cmp $0x6,%edx
5c3d54: 77 07 ja 5c3d5d <_Z20GetNumPlayersForMode8GameMode+0x15>
5c3d56: 8b 04 95 94 5f f0 00 mov 0xf05f94(,%edx,4),%eax
5c3d5d: f3 c3 repz ret
5c3d5f: 90 nop

which is basically "return game_mode < 6 ? player_limit_table[game_mode] : 4"
by either patching this function or the table at 0xf05f94 i was able to get more than 8 players in. I think its a better 'hack' vector than current approach.

So when is version 4 coming out?

So loading these files onto my server will unlock it to 18 or is there a cfg file for it so I can make it 10 or 12 people till I am sure how it effects things?

You're saying by only hacking just ONE function we can change the player limits AND get it above 18 all in one?

That definitely sounds pretty sweet..

Windows port is making good progress, should have something real soon now.

No, not one, three. But all three are really simple functions that only return player counts.

Total clients (including bots), go to 32 here:

00752638 <_ZNK18CServerGameClients15GetPlayerLimitsERiS0_S0_>:
  752638:       8b 4c 24 08             mov    0x8(%esp),%ecx
  75263c:       c7 01 12 00 00 00       movl   $0x12,(%ecx)
  752642:       8b 44 24 0c             mov    0xc(%esp),%eax
  752646:       c7 00 12 00 00 00       movl   $0x12,(%eax)
  75264c:       8b 11                   mov    (%ecx),%edx
  75264e:       8b 44 24 10             mov    0x10(%esp),%eax
  752652:       89 10                   mov    %edx,(%eax)
  752654:       c3                      ret

Number of human clients after which server begins to reject new human clients:

005c3d48 <_Z20GetNumPlayersForMode8GameMode>:
  5c3d48:       8b 54 24 04             mov    0x4(%esp),%edx
  5c3d4c:       b8 04 00 00 00          mov    $0x4,%eax
  5c3d51:       83 fa 06                cmp    $0x6,%edx
  5c3d54:       77 07                   ja     5c3d5d <_Z20GetNumPlayersForMode8GameMode+0x15>
  5c3d56:       8b 04 95 94 5f f0 00    mov    0xf05f94(,%edx,4),%eax
  5c3d5d:       f3 c3                   repz ret

And finally number of human client slots visible in server queries:

005a79d0 <_ZNK16CTerrorGameRules18GetMaxHumanPlayersEv>:
...
  5a7aa6:       ba 04 00 00 00          mov    $0x4,%edx
  5a7aab:       85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
  5a7aad:       75 06                   jne    5a7ab5 <_ZNK16CTerrorGameRules18GetMaxHumanPlayersEv+0xe5>
  5a7aaf:       90                      nop
  5a7ab0:       ba 08 00 00 00          mov    $0x8,%edx
  5a7ab5:       89 d0                   mov    %edx,%eax
  5a7ab7:       83 c4 0c                add    $0xc,%esp
  5a7aba:       c3                      ret

Ok, there is also a 4th non-essential one, for max players visible in steam group servers:

0002982c <_ZN11CMatchTitle27GetTotalNumPlayersSupportedEv>:
   2982c:       b8 08 00 00 00          mov    $0x8,%eax
   29831:       c3                      ret
