Custom Map Player Limit

PostPosted: 25 Jan 2014, 03:09

I have been spending a lot of time making a new custom map on Red Eclipse, and when I edit the config to modify player limits, nothing happens. The config files I edited and believe need to be edited look like this:
94 //maxplayers 0
98 //numplayers 6
Are there other config lines I need to edit? Help would be greatly appreciated! :)
EDIT: Thanks for the responses! I honestly didn't expect any until later in the month!

the "//" before the lines means they're commented out, so they don't do anything. (RE makes a list of all the vars you set for diagnostics, like if you set /spinsky to 300 in an editing session and then had no idea why later, you could look through the list and find out).

How to fix it:
Load your map in the editor, type "/numplayers <how many you think is a good average number>" and "/maxplayers <how many you think the upper limit should be; IIRC 0 should mean unlimited>", then save the map. You can also delete the "//" from the .cfg, load the map, save it, and try it, but it's easier to do it ingame IMO.

Line 4 of every map config:
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
// Variables stored in map file, may be uncommented here, or changed from editmode.
