Player limit?

Mar 15, 2004 00:44 Player limit?
Why the fuck are some ppl puttin "player limits" on their servers? An open game with only 8 ppl in it isn't really very fun. Who has been doing this bullshit?

If your server doesn't have the bandwidth to support 16 players your better off limiting it to a lower number.

Although I have taken the utmost effort to give my cable modem the sweetest cable path possible, my server still lags when more than 8 people are on an open game I have hosted due probably to the fact that I am not near enough to a node or the node is overtaxed. I assume the limits are the for that reason with other people's systems. BTW, how do I set a maximum on mine?

Its a dedicated server parameter. -maxplayers <number>

dammit elvis. I want to abolish limiting players. I also want to get ridda the "accept alliance requests" feature. It can be so hard to get ppl who aren't paying attention to ally u.

There's a greater chance that, in the next 24 hours, I will marry, be hit by lightning, win the lottery, learn to play the accordion, travel to Madrid and watch 4 spanish operas back-to-back, and die, than the chance Elvis will implement your request.

the player limit feature was included in SJbot as well .. having too many people on a server that can't support it is a very stupid idea, thats also why sjbot's support custom numbers of players in the started games as well .. so if you want to start a 2x2 .... set the max players to 4 and off you go. no more weird 2x3's etc.

Max,

If you don't like limits, start your own server and don't put limits on it.

Otherwise, people can do what they want with their own servers.

Lol! I always believed the saying 'a house divided cannot stand', and under this proverb you'd think MM would suddenly explode, like, (when he's at the mall or something) flinging bloody body parts all over shirts, ceilings, and people. Doesn't happen, though. :?: :D :D :D

the closest ive seen to people exploding at the mall is when me and my friends went onto the comp outside radioshack and drew a stick figure jacking off, then walked away and watched as the guy in the store came out, looked at the picture, then us, fleeing down the escalator...
