Changing Multiplayer?

[staale2]

Hi again everyone.

Is it possible to change how muliplayer works. I want to change for example the max number of players to whatever number i want. Or may it be fixed in the .exe of the game and impossible to edit. Can you in this case use a hex editor?

But if i was able to change it, woulden't all people playing my mod also need to change it? Or when i pack up the mod for release i can include the files i changed and they would also see max players 1000 for example?

Thanks.

Well let's try moving this thread to the UT3 forum then. The BeyondUnreal forum is just for things pertaining to the site itself. You might have better luck with an answer in here.

I'm pretty sure you can increase the max players beyond the normal limits, but those limits are in place for a reason- servers can't handle more than that many very well.

Ok, very cool. I just need to find the correct file to edit then. I tought you would need the licensed version to do this since you will receive all the C++ header files and full source code. I read on another forum that you are very limited to some extend without them, but how limited is limited?

I don't think you need the engine source to change the maxplayers. I could be mistaken here though.
