This has to be delayed for the next week, sorry. I haven't had time to edit the maps and there are some things to be ironed out, like fixing BFServerManager.

Stalingrad with 80 players and grenade spamming would be unplayable.
Wake CTF hasn't been modded, yet. It has few vehicles to be played with such a high number of players.

There is another problem besides the Gamespy, BFServerManager doesn't have support for over 64 players. If you target any player with an ID greater than 64, it will be invalid. Also, after a server crash it resets back to the game.serverMaxPlayers in ServerManager.con file. A workaround is to start the server from the command line with game.serverMaxPlayers 128 in ServerSettings.con and game.serverMaxPlayers 64 in ServerManager.con and start BFServerManager afterwards. After the server crashes, it will reset back to 64 players, but you can increase the limit, when a new round begins, by appending game.serverMaxPlayers 128 in ServerAutoexec.con. Unfortunately, BFServerManager overwrites the ServerSettings.con and ServerAutoexec.con files, after a server crash. Don't try to increase game.serverMaxPlayers over 64 in ServerManager.con, it will reset to 32.

Thank you. Here are the patched files of Battlefield 1942 server executables for Windows. They were changed to prevent 2 exploits (game.createLocalPlayer and game.setTeam) and maximum players limit was raised to 128. Included also a patched DedicatedServer.exe so you can easily select up to 128 maximum players.

This is more like a new feature. For some time, it was asked if it was possible to remove the 64 maximum players limit in Battlefield 1942. A year ago, someone had a found a way to remove that limit in Battlefield 2, which led to a 128 player server for Project Reality mod. Fortunately, I could find where in the server code is that limit with the help of a friend from bfmods.com.

Let's see... No grenades and no sniper kits in Berlin. How about making Berlin only knives?

I will change now !wname and add !wradio command.

Of course, Denny. Remember I've added a custom command !wbase or !kbase. If you want any other commands to be added, say so.

BFRemoteManager is fixed, it was a bug. You can now use non-ASCII characters in your username. TeamÇro. Denny or ¤)ßmÇ(¤ Lecter are fine, now.

That's the spirit. It was never tried before, some maps with 72 players or more, like Berlin, may be really crazy.

The server crashes are not related with the number of players, at least, not the most frequent ones. I'm trying to debug the server code to prevent server crashes. Now, the maximum players can go as high as 126 players, but that is overkill.

There is a limit for high-ping, it is currently at 480 ms.

Sorry, Dudeck. No need to be angry. I'll ask him about it.

A good read: A Legal Analysis of Cheating in Online Multiplayer Games.
Read, specially, "2.1 Why Cheating is a problem".

It was a good decision. Pixelling is unfair, much like baseraping is. Don't know if you did warn him to stop pixel shooting, before banning him, but if someone does it, he should be warned first to stop doing it.
