Hi

I was wondering if FPS creator only can handle 8 players in multiplayer? If it is, why?

Ok that's does it, I no longer want to be a game designer I like my friends. lol

Stupid people are like Slinkies, it's fun to watch them fall down stairs. And some times you need to give them a push.

You have to give them up. You can never be a success, if your tied down with the trappings of a social life.

I would imagine, it has to do with framerates and having multiple entities on screen.

And with more people, there's more of a chance that someone will have that super-fast dialup, and kill your ping.

From the source it looks as if it can go up to 16, unless each player takes 2 slots.

Actually I believe you can have up to 16 players.
From my experience with MP 8 is about all you want though.

Go to the source and drop levels down to 5, and with a few more adjustments you can easily run with 16.

Jeremiah - you talking about editing the source code? I still think you can have 16 players already and making multible maps is alot more wokr then just droping a level variable in - though its hard to tell what you mean

You can techinicly have 16 players; but can only use 9 of them. This is because you have to click a number to join the game; and you can't add double digits. Thats gotta get fixed some time
