sv_maxclients 64

Obviously, you'll need the bandwidth to go with it.

Hmmm, where i'm supposed to do this? i mean, this is a file? or is sth inside a file that i need to change? if it's this, which file, and where is it?

I've been looking for some more info about this commando (/sv_maxclients), and i've found some variations.

- One was to change the sv_maxclients from the package "q3config.cfg" from the folder "baseq3"

- Another was in the pakage "PAK0.PK3", the file "ffa.config", also
from the folder "baseq3"

But any1 of these works, maybe have not explained myself properly, what i want is this:

- We want to play more than 12 players at the same time in one
map, cauz max is 12, can some1 pls tell me where and how i can
fix this problem by modifying any file?

thanks in advance

Start your server like this:

quake3 +set dedicated 2 +set g_gametype 0 +set sv_maxclients 64 +set sv_maxrate 8000 +map q3dm1

^Misantropia^, how much upstream bandwith does Quake3 require for each server player slot???

My old cable connection had 5 meg download, but *hitty upstream of 256kbps, and I couldn't support more than 4 players.

Would a 750kbps upstream connection support 10 players?

Depends on the setting of sv_maxrate, the maximum amount of bytes per second your server will send to each client. 750 kbps equals (750 * (1024 / 8)) = 96000 bytes, so keep sv_maxrate below (96000 / 10) = 9600 and you should be fine.
