I'm looking for something that will allow me to run Zombie Panic Source with 32-Players? Any ideas anyone?

[r3dh3adkid]

I think its hard coded into the mod to only be 32 players.

I would ask on the official zombie panic forums.

Ya I think you are right. I was not sure if their was a way to change this like we all did in TF2 anyway thank you for the response

If it's anything like TF2/HL2MP, you could hex edit the server.dll file pretty easily (it's different for linux).

Search for:
C7 02 ## 00 00 00

(## is the maxplayers numbers in hex - I think it's 20 in ZP:S, so use 14)

Change to:
C7 02 20 00 00 00

And then save it and reupload it. The game might crash once it hits the normal maxplayers+1, so I suggest you test it out with bots or something.

Ok I will do. I'll post my findings thanks

I must be doing something wrong even if I search the TF2 .dll I can't find any combination of the string you posted.

Maybe someone can take a look?

Update: I did find the string now let me try it out

For TF2 you'd search for c7 02 18 00 00 00 (24 players max) to find the String. It doesn't matter if you change it or not, because you can already change the maxplayers to 32 without modifying anything.

I just wanted to make sure I was searching the right way since I knew the same type of string was valid in the TF2 .dll going to test the ZPS dll in about 30 min when I get home.

[Kenny Loggins]

When I try the new .dll I get " UPdatePlayerName with bogus slot 21 " and my game crashes the server does not crash

Same thing, when using the TF2 hack for Linux.
