So i thought maybe this great module will help us one more time

Here goes a plugin that changes the slots of a server. Limited to 32. Just work in Windows because in Linux it would need a forward happening before plugin_precache. Anyway, for linux you can manually patch engine_i686.so at offset 0x753C3 with bytes [0xb8][0x20][0x00][0x00][0x00].

I don't think something like this should be posting since it could be used to buy a low-slot (eg. 10) game server for less $$ and then use this to increase the slots to 32.

I just want to show how it's done (sharing the knowledge).

You can see here a plugin that did that and some admins and moderators saw and no one said it should be deleted. Only unapproved.

Isn't that illegal?

I don't guess so if you're paying for the game.
If I have a paid software, I can change every bit if I want.

You pay for software for royalties and agree to not redistribute for free but you can use it as your needs...

Yes, it is. Since it didn't work on linux I went for a solution and even remembered of that. Gonna remove it.

The world is now safer thanks to you.

Edit:

It's illegal to do. But, not to share. So I will keep it.

If it wasn't limited, it would be priceless

You can't pass the 32 limit, it's hardcoded to the engine. If you manually override it you screw your server.

About the DLL patching, you buy the binary version of the game, you can't "change or redistribute it without specific written permission from the copyright owners" like the majority of the commercial licenses. Anyway, joaquimandrade is from Portugal, so no DMCA copyright laws. (you americans don't know copyrights =D)

The European Union has copyright laws and Portugal is part of the European Union.
