I saw you guys had your 8v8 server up but now i can't connect. How come the steam group servers arent showing anything?

Hey Downtown1, have you been able to evaluate the situation regarding the next release? Any chance of the maxplayers reporting issue being resolved? If xAlphaBeta is right and SM needs to be reworked to address signatures in new libraries, has that been brought up to Bail's attention? It would be great to get that addition to SM in by the next release.

The scoring part Signatures, if you're interested

I've been able to create a linux server with more than 18 players (32 actually) by patching a "CServerGameClients::GetPlayerLimits(int& , int&, int&) const" function (_ZNK18CServerGameClients15GetPlayerLimitsERi S0_S0_) from server_linux.so. Code is quite simple, just a bunch of mov's, i hope its also doable (early enough) with sourcemod.

Hi nowakpl,

Yes this is correct, in fact I remember even seeing it on some hl site about increasing slots above 16. However, it's only maxplayers, or default max players. We have tested above 18, can quite easily get this up to 32, but what I found in testing is that players can never connect beyond the magic 18, and even at 18 players maxed out, causes fake spawn issues with infected (for example tank).

Did you actually get more than 18 users to connect?

[nowakpl]

Yes, got 28 players to connect, was working quite fine actually, but after some time (~15 minutes) the server crashed (never got that with 16 players) so it seems its going to be a bit harder

this was just a test obviously

Hmm, interesting - I have been looking at SetMaxClients and GetMaxClients signatures, but if this signature seems to change the maxclients as well as maxplayers - then I'm interested in looking into that.
