Hiya, I'm the bastard who messaged him on IRC about releasing a 32-player bypass hack. My reasoning is primarily: A) Anyone that wants to can still get a hacked engine.dll B) There are already more 32-slot servers than players wish to fill. This isn't about allowing 32x or not anymore. The only real effect of releasing a clean plugin to do it would be making it easier on admins who wouldn't have to wait for a new 'cracked' dll or convoluted LD_PRELOAD hack on linux, such that 32-slot servers are not exclusive to the slightly more daring crowd.
I made the original 32x bypass for linux (the LD_PRELOAD one) so I could run my own server at 32x, and made it into a plugin simply for the fun of it. I never got a response on IRC, but if there's any convincing reasons not to put a plugin out there to do this I'd be glad to listen Of course, it would be better if Valve would just step in and fix this one way or the other. - Neph Nephyrin AIM [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN Feel free to message me On Feb 11, 2008 8:26 PM, Tony Paloma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I meant a plugin, not a hacked engine file > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DontWannaName! > Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 6:17 PM > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > > Subject: Re: [hlds] 32 player delist plugin > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Theres already one from battlerealms.cc.
