Fellow retro game enthusiasts of New York! Long Island Retro Gaming Expo is happening this weekend, August 11th - 13th. Dozens of arcades, almost every console you can think of, rare computers, cool guests, tournaments, cosplay, live music, retro vendors, and more! And, of course, I'll be there with my setup of 50+ PCs with something for everyone. Don't miss out on a great gaming event! I'll see you there.

nostr:npub1aj3xuc27vwpuajagcla07azaend443pkrd2nq7nwptu503ecsgwsfq4209 I've tried everything. All of that works if you're pre-configuring a server, but doesn't seem to affect the menu. I have a public area with 10 machines, so I need regular people to be able to start a game with 10 players out of the menu. I'm starting to think it's just not possible.
nostr:npub1aj3xuc27vwpuajagcla07azaend443pkrd2nq7nwptu503ecsgwsfq4209 Turns out it's hardcoded. 🤷
nostr:npub1zq8xm5jnj3sq3w6zn3fz6zrdzy8mp6t6u3rjlkx0h0gpsghv9atqy57jat Yep. Confirmed. Bummer.
nostr:npub1zq8xm5jnj3sq3w6zn3fz6zrdzy8mp6t6u3rjlkx0h0gpsghv9atqy57jat Vanilla version. No teams.
nostr:npub1y4hhv5ttdsvzl7t0pr0rys7avx5zjv5pyjfgnldrthm2c3q6fnsq3ft26u do you have an existing baseq3/q3config_server.cfg? that has a bunch of "seta" commands so you could set sv_maxclients there. but that file might be specific to some or other source port, all of which have touched my ~/.q3a dir over the years.

nostr:npub1aj3xuc27vwpuajagcla07azaend443pkrd2nq7nwptu503ecsgwsfq4209 No, that doesn't work. It does change the variable on boot, but doesn't affect the menu. So when you create a server, it then resets it back to 8.
nostr:npub17nxwpmnd0vxd8yv0kf0any66h6s6g55khc0vhuk49p5ld0yjfd7syru2jx This command is for server that's running. It doesn't seem to affect that menu screen.
Ok, looking for people with very specific Quake 3 knowledge:
How to increase the default number of clients? It defaults to 8. I want all spots to be open on the creation screen without having to set it manually every time.
I don't even like Rise of the Triad (although I do admire many of its aspects,) but I think its current re-release goes above and beyond. Here's Civvie 11's breakdown of all the new and improved stuff in the aptly named Ludicrous Edition:
BonBon Paradise (Electronic Music and Animated Graphics/Japan Software Engineering Shop, 1997) #DOSGaming
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. Fun exists on only one system in the entire Universe. The system is IBM PC. Also known as DOS.
Bully's Sporting Darts (Alternative Software, 1993) #DOSGaming
Yeah, buddy!
Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster and the Beanstalk (TerraGlyph Interactive Studios/Funsoft, 1996) #DOSGaming
