This plugin will change maxplayers ingame.
Most server providers will NOT like this, so use it with responsibility.
If you server gets suspended by using this plugin, ITS YOUR OWN FAULT.
Not mine.

The command is set_maxplayers, u need rcon acces to do this.
Bug: the server console isnt updated immediately, this can take some seconds.

You need this custom module MemHack wich is windows only, and that makes this plugin windows only too.

Thanks to schnitzelmaker who showed me how to use the MemHack module.

Update to 1.1 Now checks if playernum is lower than slots you want to change to.

I STRONGLY RECOMMAND DO NOT USE THIS AT RENTED SERVERS
THIS PLUGIN IS MADE TO WORK WITH A HOME MADE SERVER
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

this plugin DOESNT seem to work anymore, it looks like valve made a block for it.
if you want to use this, dont update your server.

In fact, ALL server providers will not like this as they can see it as stealing.

Example...a person rents an 8 man server and then with this plugin can turn it into a 32 man server while only paying for 8 slots. "Stealing" the other 24 slots at no charge.

Just my .02 cents

I have a feeling this will complety screw up your server. Why? From what little knowledge I have, the engine reserves special slots in the entity table for players which require special attention and makes the rest of them just normal entity slots - which is most likely why you can't already change max players in game..

Just for future refrence, I'm not saying my statement is 100% correct simply because I lack knoweldge on this.

I agree with Zenith77... the thought of this seems like it would definitely break something after altering a previously-run-as-constant value.

Ive tested its limits, i see no problems whatever i do, only if the maxpayers is higher than 32 the server crashes, but its blocked to do this.

[Zenith77]

No the only reason you haven't had problems was because no entities were being created during testing. Try running a test script with fakemeta and/or engine creating some entities dynamically with a bunch of players and then come back and tell me it doesn't screw up.

[Ramono]

I just did, added some fakeplayers removed added, everything.

I trew grenades builded stuff, removed it again.

I see no problem with this plugin.

Hope this enough for you, fakeplayer plugin is attached, if you want to look at it.

Btw, i found a bug, if playersnum is higher than lowered slots num, the last connected client(s) get a CONNECTION ERROR, so this is fixed now,

[Zenith77]

Notice how you said fake players, even though are fake they still count as players, make sure that a "normal" entity takes the place of a previously reserved slot.

Just tested it, the server will crash if you set the maxplayers to 32.
