Title: Player numbers
Post by: OldBloke on October 29, 2002, 02:52:52 PM
Yes the Meat Hook is setup as a 32 player server but did you know that some maps only have 20 spawn points?

I wonder what happens when you are the 21st player joining a 20 spawn point map? Can you join? Can you join but not spawn?

Hmmmm. Interesting.

Here's a list of maps/spawn points from Counter-Server:

as_tundra.bsp   25
cs_747.bsp   26
cs_assault.bsp   20

cs_estate.bsp   20
cs_italy.bsp   20
cs_militia.bsp   20
cs_office.bsp   20
cs_siege.bsp   20
de_aztec.bsp   32
de_cbble.bsp   32
de_chateau.bsp   35

You can only spectate if there are no free spawn points.  I lowered the limit to 24 the other day, do I now drop it to 20?

we tryed to break the player tower record at i12 but it couldnt be done as, there is no standard map with enough spawn points to do it, and aparently the hl engin can only support a certain amount of people.

32 is the max.

There's a suggestion that dust2 was going to be a Quake3 map  :lol:  :lol:

Mmmm... Dust 2 as a Quake 3 map, interesting. I wonder how many Spawn fraggers will delight in Dust 2 with a huge amount of players...  :roll:
