[Zeno]

today the 64 max limit has been broken yet again:

FH2 Thread

this is not Soppa`s code and has been promised to be released for free

Quote from Nemes1s:

It's a pre-patched binary atm so I need to code a patcher first otherwise it'd be illegal for me to distribute a modified binary.

I will not "charge" for the server, maybe I'll accept donations but I'm not planning to create a buisness by selling the code or something. If the code gets released it will be free.
The problem of the test today will be that the bandwith of my server will be reduced after a few GB of traffic

Awesome news, keep it up until we can get 500 (lol) players per-server on every BF2 mod...

Really good news, hopefully the 64 player server will become thing from the past...

Most players have issues coordinating on a 64 man server, i dread to think what would happen if every server went 64+

Good work though, good to know people are working towards this kind of thing, one question though, does this version show name tags over the heads of every player not just the first 32?

i lol@ this ^

servers are only as good as its rules and the admins that enforce them.

i just wish this progress had been done years ealier....i would of never thought i would still be playing this game after buying it in june 05 much less a mod i downloaded in Aug or Sept of 05.
i want to see a future game of "Battlefield 2 MMO" with mumble integrated.

thx to Nemes1sGER

coordiantion issues are different from player counts. Limitless player counts are only a good thing, more freedom forthe developers is only a good thing. Testing and finding a perfect limit is better than having one imposed on you.

The "yes" of me in this picture is non-related to this insult of soppa, it was directed to a question someone gave me before but the chat was cut off. I'd like everyone to behave and stop insulting soppa or anyone else just because 64 is broken again.

WOW Nemes1s, proud on NEW as a whole too by that!

[Mineral]

we have gone to 300 players, why is this news?

[Kain888]

we have gone to 300 players, why is this news?

Because it's new, independent code?

[Nemes1s]

300 is impossible afaik client is limited to 256 (you can have 255 bots max I think) but even if client has no limitation 300 is near impossible to get stable with current hardware and the bf2 engine limitations.

[J.F.Leusch69]

did you fix the nametag issue?

[Nemes1s]

Also just found this

.text:08475990 public _ZN4dice3hfe2io9NetServer25setMaxNumberOfConnectionsEj
.text:08475996 cmp edx, 100h

means that max number of connections is also hardcoded into server (100 is in hex means 256 in decimal). I think Dice put that number there for a reason

[Nemes1s]

No I have not looked into that (yet).

i find the initial thread rather very aggresive towards sopa, as far as i know he finished his 128 player code, offering us many many beta tests on a server he spent lots of money on to optimize the code. The 128 code is rdy for pr1 release is the latest i read.

I'm glad more people are digging into it but its not like sopa was evil or anything... . he made possible some of my most memorable pr gameplay sessions at no expense!

looking forward to also having memorable FH moments like we had before with soppas code pr whoever is able to provide it. (and i have to say it , fh2 and pr fob system and squad and wounded system would make fh2 that much more enjoyable for me )

that was never the intention, Soppa has nothing to do with this code and i was just pointing out that this is another code and is not related to his work...

and why should we wait for PR1.0 when we can have the code now for free?

[Nemes1s]

I doubt that PR Management would allow servers to run with more then 64p until 1.0. But if any server admin has the balls to try it lol you know who to contact

[SGT.Ice]

Because it's not exclusive anymore.

PR lately is far worse in coordinating or even common sense. Not to mention this will bring out the real FH2. But they must NOT touch the assets otherwise ill be flipping tables. Infantry is what is missing and 20 more per side is just perfect. If they went all retarded and add more tanks and planes... like some people did in pr... it will be the same shit wich means literally pissing on Nemesis.

"Yeah we finally have more infantry and whatnot!"
"Alright boys, let's add more assets so it becomes 64/64 but on a greater scale"


I hope they don't do this with FH2. It's fine to add more trans vehicles though


Btw, the FH2 community has more "hatred" towards Soppa because they didn't follow the 128 code like the PR community did, and the fresh memories from the "private costy" code is still there.

[KingKong.CCCP]

Well done, FH!

we have gone to 300 players, why is this news?

If you think about it... EA did 100p back in 2005...
I don't remember going more than 250.
