Support for more than 8 players?

[Leo328i]

Hey guys,

I'm new here and this is my first post!

Absolutely love OpenRA, I was a huge Original CNC and Red Alert fan and this open source version is absolutely awesome - well done guys!

Just wanted to ask whether anyone has done a mod where you can have more than 8 players on a map at once? I understand that it may not be ideal as most maps are designed for 8 players at the max of course.

I'm having a LAN party and it would be absolutely awesome if we could have 16 people or so - with this being open source I would think that someone has done it?

Cheers guys!

http://content.open-ra.org/?p=detail&table=maps&id=650 14 players.. Search in forums, on that page, or ask in IRC for more maps..

Thats awesome mate!!! Thanks very much.

Embarrasingly I just realised there are default 12 player maps.... .I really should have a better look next time!

No problemo..

According to Holloweye, the theoretical maximum number is 254-256ish(1 byte), so just go ahead and make maps. But with more than 16 players I think all players should have low ping, good line, and strong computers.... But big games have been played 12+ without lag...
