Hey guys, im happy to inform u that we just got it to compile a q3 1.35urt that support 64 clients.

This is a very special Thing, Q3 Engine NEVER supported more then 32 Players.
Everyone thought its by program design, nobody tried it really.
The Game normally just Fuckup when Player #33 Connect.

Some days ago Steve fell over a Topic in Official URT Board.
In fact everyone was searching for some different, we were looking up to implement an anticamp since URT dev didnt react with 1 answer to like 3 freature requests.

In that Topic some guy said it should be possible (with some minor changes) in the source (Find "32" - replace with: "64" --> in just one place...)
He created a Linux64 Binary for testing, he filled a Server with 64 Bots and Succeded.
But he didnt have the Resources to test it with real players.
i googled and compiled for 64 now...

plz post ur comments and expirience with that, we have now an experimental State.
most important is the changes in gameplay, afaik theres no technical Issues.

IDsoft guys btw just lied when they told the community its "by design"
"Its deactivated, we made some little routine that make it crash for u kids" would have been the right answer.


Ah: Not to forget a very important thing:
As we were the biggest Server Worldwide and went down to be #10, this Binary should bring us to #1 again.
Anyways, its free and open.
This step is not easy for me, but anyways fuckit.
Better to agree to GPL then beeing the #1 in the world.

Heres the Win32 Binary (before i start now tho rethink that all):


----Update 2010/05----
Through a vulnerability that allowed an attacker to do a classic "ctrl-alt-delete" to teh server, heres a patched Version.
Thx very much to unclefragger for fix and natirips (as a passioned *nix user) to compile it as a win32 executable binary.
Request Sources as usual for closer klicking.

----Update 2010/05----


The unchanged URT 4.1 Sources are BTW here (IOq3 for URT)
This is the best Howto for Compile "the sucker"
Beware, theres a Server and a Client Binary. Thats a difference to original Q3
Btw: Clients dont need this at all.

ps.
if u make running binaries for other OS/architecture: please upload them, others may profit.

ps2.
stay tuned and take care

its cool, but b3 is fucking slow and i had a strange problem a few minutes ago.

i connect to the sever. 2 free slots and after a few seconds in the map i got kicked.
No Message in Echelon who kicked me and why, warnings arent possible, so what is happend?

_________________

Are 64 already possible online? Now there are 32 players connected and I see warnings from B3 like "too long spector on full server".

_________________

oki u were kicked by ghostsoul.




--------edit----------

funny i just iee it now, it was january 15.
mmmm ^^ i check that tomorrow, im a bit tired...

This one xlr_stats.php?func=player&playerid=988 that wasn't online for 130 days straight in game? Unlikely.

_________________

thats the strange think. He wasent there and he had not enough rights to kick me.

_________________

wow funny now is steve there as the executor.

you can see it in the banlist and the admins can klick it in echelon...

_________________

Another thing that comes in my mind... There are some maps, which are already crowded with 32 players (for example turnpike). I think with too many players it will not be fun anymore, but I'm not sure. We should see what happens to gameplay with so many players.

But nice work, I've never seen a server with more than 32 slots.

_________________

He kicked you 130 days ago. B3 lag maybe? XD B3 has some random kicks, and warnings sometimes...

I played at server now and all was good. Even Lartza was playing!

i reconnected and everthing was fine. But that Ghostsoul kicked me is strange. Back from the Grave or reallly a Ghost
