   @dosnostalgic it's been a long time since i ran a server but would simply adding "sv_maxclients 16" to an autoexec.cfg in your baseq3 dir work?

     @jplebreton 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.

     @dosnostalgic 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.

     @jplebreton 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.

     @jberg Vanilla version. No teams.

     @dosnostalgic I think it depends on which game mode you ha e selected. If you pick a team based game mode, all 12 slots should show as open.

     @jberg Yep. Confirmed. Bummer.

     @dosnostalgic I think it’s hardcoded to show 8 open slots for non team based game modes and 12 for team based game modes.

     @jplebreton Turns out it's hardcoded. 🤷

     @dosnostalgic 🤬 i was afraid of that. i looked through the source to see where it might've been defined and couldn't find it, left with more questions than answers.

     @wildweasel It's not in the scripts. It's in the actual UI generating code, sadly.

     @jplebreton @dosnostalgic I wonder if it's written into the menu scripts? Because I'm all but positive I've seen it default to something else in other mods...
