[Tutorial] Increase Quest mode max player limit

This is my first tutorial :D
Actually im just a noob and i didnt find this by myself
I just started a thread asking for help and got helped
But i don't see any similar tutorial so i decided to start one.


1. ASM edit the MatchServer.exe .
search for 0045C00F
and change to the following

Code:

---

0045C00F EB 05 JMP SHORT 0045C016
0045C011 90 NOP
0045C012 90 NOP
0045C013 90 NOP
0045C014 90 NOP
0045C015 90 NOP

2. Add spawn points to quest maps.
If you don't do this, the extra players will not be able to spawn.
Just open the Mapname.RS.xml and add spawn point in <DUMMYLIST>
You should already have 4 as default
So just add more depend on how many player limit you want to increase
The spawn points look like this:

Code:

---

                <DUMMY name="spawn_solo_101">
                        <POSITION>1821.0561523 -1641.4576416 5.0000000</POSITION>
                        <DIRECTION>-0.9999999 0.0000000 0.0000000</DIRECTION>
                </DUMMY>
                <DUMMY name="spawn_solo_102">
                        <POSITION>1821.0561523 -1523.1876221 5.0000000</POSITION>
                        <DIRECTION>-0.9999999 0.0000000 0.0000000</DIRECTION>
                </DUMMY>
                <DUMMY name="spawn_solo_103">
                        <POSITION>1821.0561523 -1404.9176025 5.0000000</POSITION>
                        <DIRECTION>-0.9999999 0.0000000 0.0000000</DIRECTION>
                </DUMMY>
                <DUMMY name="spawn_solo_104">
                        <POSITION>1821.0561523 -1286.6475830 5.0000000</POSITION>
                        <DIRECTION>-0.9999999 0.0000000 0.0000000</DIRECTION>
                </DUMMY>

3. Edit the gametypecfg.xml which is located in system.mrs
Find the quest part , and edit it.
For example , if i want to add a 6 person mode , i will do this:

Code:

---

        <GAMETYPE id="7">        <!-- GAMETYPE_QUEST -->
                <ROUNDS    round="1"        str="---" default="true" />
                <LIMITTIME sec="99999"        str="Infinite" />
                <MAXPLAYERS player="4"  str="4" default="true" />
                <MAXPLAYERS player="6"  str="6" default="true" />
        </GAMETYPE>

Credit give to : GUNZ2830 <pro :D

CrashPoint
and a little part to me , for writing this tut

if this works, i thank you to an immense degree.

Thank you xP
I might actually try this, but 6 is defiantly enough :p
( Do u know if its possible to have a different amount of max players depending on the scenario?)

add like 10 players max and more npc :D like 10 vs 300 O_o.

So does this work?

got a question, when u added the extra spawns did u add it like


<DUMMY name="spawn_solo_105">

or duplicate the old <DUMMY name="spawn_solo_104">

?

It's possible to change the available number depending on the scenario, it would just require a conditional jump to an area in code which would load the X-player limit, versus the default-player limit.

0045C00F says MOV DWORD PTR DS:[ESI+3C],4

you sure that this is the spot i change it? O.o

nice tut ^_^ i well going to do that.. but im in my new computer so i forget where download asm Editor to edit the matchserver ^_^ =)

lol Google ollydbg?
