[ Closed ] [POLL] Increase Max Players (Page 1 of 3)

It's already messy enough with 12players and 4 specs...

False... there's a limit of 16 characters. If you send more than 16 characters to the client it crashes.

Teeworlds isn't meant to be a mod platform, and that's clearly only directed to give more possibilities to mods.

I love teeworlds and i really like the vanilla gameplay but modding teeworlds is awesome. It makes the game way more interesting and fun. The only thing is that today's mods are mostly horrible. I remember flyctf or race(not the short crap) and that something new was released every two weaks which was nearly allways awesome.

And having more than 16 players on one server would suck hard on that small vanilla maps but it would give more possibilitys for mods.

That's called a hack. Look the definition somewhere if you're unsure.

I didnt vote here, but i would like to.
Pls add an option "There should be more slots".

I'd posted this idea already...
Spectator-only-slots would be a benefit for vanilla!

Thats what i meant , mods are supposed to make teeworlds even more Awesome , but these days , they just destroy TW

I would agree to that, 4 additional spectator-only slots would be nice.

eeeee +1.

Why not let the client unlimited number of characters? In one of the first packets client should be sent the number of players allowed on server at once, then prepare arrays with that number. The vanillia should stay at 16, that's true... But some DD or City servers would be nice to have 32 or 64 slots

It would produce a lot of nice mods...

I think it would be fun to play with more than 16 players on a server. Maybe we need some bigger maps for ctf matches?

Then why not set the default to 16 with the possibility of increasing it up to 32.

The only people who would manually change it to that, would be people who are doing it on purpose and thus should have a reason for it. For instance, maybe there is a DM/CTF server with only extra large maps. The ones who have xx/32 servers without a good reason would result in bad gameplay so people won't play it. If it is easy to implement, I just dont see the point in not doing so. If you really don't want to allow more than 16 people playing at once, at least increase the player limit to 32 (for example) with the rest as spectators. Just frustrating hosting a tournament which gets filled up with just the contestants, and then having to turn away people who are begging to watch.

EDIT: Here is an idea. Why not have it that the map creators set the player limit for the map. So you have the server limit at 32 (or whatever) then once the player limit is exceeded for the map, the rest spectate. This allows a map to always be played with the optimal players.
