change max num of players?

[whiplash]

Can't seem to change this. I tried to use console during in-game menu and it seems to change, but once game starts it changes back to 16 players. If I start server first it says it can't be change while server is running. Please help!!

You can set maxplayers in a cfg file called game.cfg in the cfg folder inside hl2mp.

or you can use a custom menu which allows you to pick it before you start the game, I edited the original menu to add some of that important stuff that was missing.

here's how it looks and a link to download it:

server menu

settings.zip

Ty for the download... I tried the other way first, but it didn't work. That link works great! Now if some1 would join my server I would really know. Thanks again.

I don't have a game.cfg in my folder, can you post the contents?

there should be game.cfg in the halflife 2 deathmatch/hl2mp/cfg/ folder, are you sure you looked carefully?

this folder:

here

it had nothing inside the file, and my game.cfg currently has nothing inside it.

I am absolutely sure it is not there.
You said to edit it, then you say there is nothing in it.
Is this correct? Should I create it?

 

[tombombman]

yep, you can create it, rename a txt file to game.cfg and stick it in there.

what do you put in it?

"maxplayers 32" ?

 

[tombombman]

add whatever settings you need, hostname, maxplayers, mp_teamplay, etc.

I wouldnt run a maxplayers 32 server unless it was a nice connection.
