More than 16 players?

by Jeffrey J. Sykes, "SYKO_RIP" · in Torque Game Engine · 11/15/2003 (4:21 pm) · 1 replies

Is it possible to manipulate the Torque source code to allow more than 16 players? 64 player max option is commonplace now-a-days.

Are their any resources on this topic that I can find?

Quote from Tim Gift in that thread.

There is no hard coded limit to how many players are in a game. There have already been over 100 player T2 games. The networking is set to handle any number of players and shouldn't be a bottle neck, even with the standard 2K per sec bandwidth.

The main issue will be rendering performance: how many polys in the player and other shapes, how well do they detail, etc. There is no degredation of shape detail based on frame rate, this would be a nice addition for extreme circumstances.
