Why 8bits? I thought most ints were at least 2^16 ?so like 32576 or whatever the number is

Is it a network or engine limitation on connections? Because if it's just network ... well theoretically you could get hundreds of thousands of players into a game.

There is hard coded limit.

Well, there is one, probably 125 or 256 (limit of a 8 bit integer and 8 bit unsigned integer).

I think there's a hard limit to how many connections you can open to the lobby. I remember reading over it in the code sometime ago. If you dig around though you should be able to find it. HOWEVER

The lobby is already very unstable with 12 connections.
Syncing that many units is going to be very susceptible to update lag.
Desyncs
You need to specifically construct the maps and the lobby.

I do think however it is doable. You'd need to load the new lobby as a simside .scd mod. The new lobby would need to allow for that many connections to the lobby. I think mohodata covers it but I'm not sure. If you muck around in the lua long enough though you should find it.

Maybe you should read the thread

I wish I could help you, but I haven't heard of such a mode. I am amazed, though, that you have enough patience to wait 15 other players to join your game and then hopefully wait another 15-30 mins to agree on the "balance".

it can't be done outside of FAF unless you steal Moritz/other people work of developing lobby for 12 players

never seen 16 player lobby, but i think there is nothing impossible

Edit: it can be done with FA-Ladder stuff i beleave... not 100% sure, and have no idea why you would want having something outside of faf

Or at least if it can be done without using FAF?

"epic maps" for 12 players already don't work at all. Also, the map has to be build with 16 players in mind, of which there are no maps to my knowledge.

16 player mod

2014-03-02T00:16:47+02:00

I've seen a 16 player mod however it doesn't seem to function anymore, possibly due to GPG not working so well.

Does anybody know if there is an updated mod for 16 players to play on a map?
