Multiplayer Maxplayers

[{GS Inc} Red Hot]

I recently got the newer dedicated server script from 009's site (the one with anti-crash included). But when I start a game in it, it starts with 32 players. I believe that this could be somehow altered in startmap.cfg but it doesnt seem to be working and nobody wants to be in a server with 0/32 people

I even tried the maxplayers script code but it always says that max players cant be changed after game has been loaded. Please help if you know how! :?

Hi Red, this problem has occured to other people too, have you tried setting this in the dedserv.bat file? Try there first, 009 set this part up where it loads from startmap.cfg file so you should email him or PM him ect...

The soloution I have used is to rename, or delete the startmap.cfg file and the server.cfg file and use the dedserv.bat file directly, so you would load the first map from dedserv.bat and set all your starting options instead of using the .cfg files. But leave the mapcycle file as this will not effect this.

Hope this helps :)

What 007bond007 says is true but is really for more advanced users. I left all the files in so that it would easier for players to navigate with all the options that maps and the server can have. We are bound to have questions like this arise but for the future I advise all that use it to read the instructions first.

This is taken directly from the instructions.

Dedicated server

Press 4 to edit the dedicated server file. This is the actual file that starts the server. You do not need to edit this file, but you can change the amount of players that you wish your server to hold. The maximum is 32 and the minimum is 1.

In the dedserv file it says this.

:: ONLY EDIT THE MAXPLAYERS IN THIS FILE!
:: Max amount is 32, minimum is 1.
start/w bond.exe -dedicated 1 -noipx +maxplayers 32 +exec startmap.cfg

Part of the "note:"

Note "Nightfire? views these files in a particular order and some settings do override others. All settings in the dedicated server file are loaded first, followed by the server.cfg file, followed by startmap.cfg, then mapcycle.txt. If you wish to change settings for a particular map in the mapcycle.txt, you must also change information in the other files or they will not work .
