I was reading the forum the last few days and their is some talk about getting the FPS Creator to be able to allow more than 8 players in a online game.

No one mentions a page where it's explained how this can happen.

I'm building a Halo type of game which needs more than 8 players. It's pointless to even have this program if I can't handle more than 8 players, thus i'm here seeking a how-to get more than 8 people on the game im making.

Can anyone guide me to a step by step how this can be done?

For the ones that played Halo, imagine only 8 people playing that game total then a que to get in on that 8 person game.

I'd be waiting for weeks! This is why it's important that I can put on more than 8 people.

Thank you very much.

For the moment I dont think there is any way to get more than 8 players in one server.
Since FPSC is mainly for making SP games I dont know if its going to be chabged, Some says that the multiplayer part jsut was trhown into the engine before release.

Good luck and my the Force be with you.

regards, Joakim

You can have 9, change the max players setting in one of the files, inside the built game folder.

Well actually in the setup file it says how many players and I guess you could make it so there are more.

We all want to be awesome, but does awesome want to be us?

From the source it seems there is a max of 16, unless each player requires 2 'slots'. If you change it to 16 instead of eight, however (when building the game) I have no idea whether or not it will work or if it will reset to 8.

Also you can't make a halo game: there are no dynamic entities in the MP except for non-projectile weapons and health. Maybe X10 would be more helpful,

Ok. Thank you kindly for all your help.

Now i'm getting this Runtime error 105.

I'm doing a search on the forum for the fix. So far I reinstalled everything and it works, but when i add the addons that i bought from FPS Creator webpage and install the addons, the error 105 happens again. It's ONLY happening when i add an enemy.. Hmm...

wow, even more strange now. I make a new map and i get no errors.. when i try to add some stock fps creator enemys on the map i already made a week ago, i get erros 105 *only when i add a enemy*

I looked on the forum and it does not say anything about this or solution.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you fix it? it took me 3 days to make this level. i DONT want to start making my level all over again...

Please help, *pulls hair out*

Did you restart your computer after installing FPSC?
If not, reinstall (maps, models and so on are stimm there) and restart.
That made it for me.
