    1. Open NS
    2. Select "Create server"
    3. Change the maxplayers field to whichever you want.

    Under the "Game" tab.
    You see the top of the create server window? How it says Create Server, and has the steam symbol to the left of it?
    See under that, it says Server, and Game, on two "tabs". Click the one labeled Game, and you should get a whole bunch of new options.

    Just curious, is english your first language?

    When you create the server, there will be an input box for the number of players on one of the two tabs of the dialogue box with all the server settings. Just make sure to change it before you start, because you can't change the number of players midgame through console commands.

    If you know how to read its not hard to find.

    i haven't find an input box for the number of players. only choose map and other things.

    If yes, you are trying to play NS2.0 (previous version of NS) over steam...

    Ummm... dont know where you can adjust max players in NS2.0 Steam...

    I recommend getting NS3.0 Beta (latest version)...

    Impossible at all.

    raydan : Look at the top, there are two tabs, aptly named 'Server' and 'Game'
    Clink the Server tab and you can now set max players.

    I'm pretty sure you can set the maxplayers with a variable called sv_maxplayers or maybe mp_maxplayers. You need to restart the server after changing it for it to take effect though I think.
  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    Yep, only done like that, but the maxplayers command must be put in inbetween the time of restarting the server, according to what I tried before.

    BTW, thsi does not include half-restarts like changing maps.

    You can't change them while the game is running, it has to be in autoexec.cfg or listenserver.cfg, which can be opened like text files. Once you've opened either, make a new row at the bottom and type "maxplayers ##" with numbers instead of ##. Then, save the file and open up NS again, and start your server, it should have the max that you specified in the .cfg file.
