HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Yeah, I really new at modding. I wanted to try and mod halo to support up to 32 players. This at all possible and if so what what I need to know and use to do this?


Thanks

from what i remember the 16 player max is hard coded in the game.

its probably in one of the dll's if someone can find it it can be easily changed (change 16 to 32) but u have to bak everything up.. and be very carefull. but its just a max # so it should be too hard.. ill take a look into it

great, thanks alot guys

I'm sure its more than just changing a number...The server engine has to control all the players...I think you'd have a better shot at modding the dedicated server to support more players...

From when I was doing some work on the Halo xbe a while back, I can remember seeing strings like %32nd that would support the fact that halo could support more than 16 players. I never looked into this to much though since it would have been a pretty big project to try and get it working for more than 16 players.

not only that, but bungie only wanted to support 16 players for a reason: lag. everyone would HAVE to have at least a dsl connection for that, which is just unrealistic. if you were successful, you could proly get some buddies together and play. but i got a question for you guys: anyone interested in releasing a halo trainer like the one on xbox? czns is what it is i think. itd really be kind of cool to have bump character... all you would need to make that would be a disassembler and experience in coding to find the global values that control cheat on/off.

I think you would not hack halo but something else. Like another program. It just feels like that for some reason...
