I actually agree that 40 is probably the best value to have as a normal maxplayer count. I'm just not a fan of hard limits, and I actually have a real need for it to be higher. I have a 50+ lan tomorrow that I'm setting up the servers for, and I'm trying today to raise the (what I thought was 32) limit. Set the hardcap to whatever the game reasonably supports. I think the ui can handle 64, so set it at that. Then set the normal default max to 40. and even recommend it/make it the official player count,etc. Hell, you could even make it so that you don't appear on the ladder when there is more then 40 people. Just don't force 40.

Then have official servers and they can pay for the hosting. But when your forcing people who pay money for hosting on a whim, its just wrong.

If that's true, then a dev can spin up a server and set the limit to 40, and they can experience the game with 40 players, and play the game with likeminded people on that server. No point artificially setting a hardcoded limit.

Yeah but the hardcoded limit is for stoping the game from crashing. Actual gameplay & system resource player limits should be upto the server admins, and players when they choose the server.

ok the vote menu method worked. So whats stopping rcon?

right now I'm going to try filling a server with bots, and then try and join a 33rd player. I'm just updating another client now.

I was using the console addbots command

I tried starting it with a copy paste of that command and its still limited to 32. Right now I'm testing it by filling the server with 64 bots, and it stops at 32.

I'm having trouble getting it to do more then 32, but ill give it a more thorough test and see what I can get.

It still only lets you do 32 by default (tho it will report 40). Also why 40?, the game seems to be able to support at least 64 fine.

The current code limits the max players to 32, and reports 40. The MaxPlayersAllowed variable is a hardcoded max before things start to break code wise. It should be as high as it can be. In GameInfo.UC, the variable is set to MaxPlayersAllowed=32 And in RX_Game.UC the variable is set to MaxPlayersAllowed=40 While the RX_Game class is suppose to supersede the GameInfo class, the un-supersede variable still gets used inside GameInfo.uc. This should be set to 64 at bare minimum, and higher if it can. E.g if its set to 255 and the game still runs, then it should be 255. The MaxPlayers variable sets the server player limit.

I realised that if the changes to the client are done in the defaultengine.ini, it wont propagate to current players. I've worked out the command they can type ingame to fix it, and could be put onto server announcements to help players. They just need to write this into the console. (console supports copy/paste). It doesn't have the cache section, but atleast they'll be able to download maps. set IpDrv.HTTPDownload ConnectionTimeout 12000

Yeah, just dump basically any resource, maps, packs, classes (.u, .udk, .upk) into the root of your http server. I think I found a way to do this on a ftp server as well but I havnt gotten too far into it. You can see how ive got it layed out http://www.edtnint.net/renx/maps/ I also agree in keeping both the launcher and the ingame downloader. While I do plan to fix the downloading between maps changes thing, I think its great when the user has a choice to download them all at once when going via the launcher. The best part is, the ingame downloader uses the package guid as a way to identify it. So for instance if you have 1 version of a map in the repo, another version in the game release, and another downloaded from the server, then they don't override each other. Basically this means that servers and or players that have different versions of maps, should happily play with each other, as it will load the version it needs. I do need to experiment with this more to work out the whole pattern with this, but it seems fine so far. It even works with other things. So in a way, it is possible for a game client to get updated via connecting to an updated server.

Nice, thanks for the feedback. I've marked options as verified to mark if they have actually been tested or not. Any extra info you have would be great.

I tried it twice before and it broke at the same %, but I've just tried it now and its worked. Might of been a network error on my end.

I got a webclient exception trying to download the .73 launcher update. Never gotten one of those before.

Infact.... @Agent is it possible for you to send a copy of the src folder......?

I second the updating of sdk

That would be so great!

Hi there, Is there a more upto date version of the sdk then what's available from the download section? I mainly need a copy of the src folder. Thanks in advance.

On a side note. Can you tell me you build environment for the bot. I got it mostly working, but I'm having trouble finding the right openssl binaries. Either they're too old(missing functions), or too new (no sslv3 support).

No problem. Figured its good to report the bugs.
