   This reminds me. I should probably look into how to recompile Quake 3, since for reasons unknown it's hardcoded to limit the default amount of players on a server to 8, even though there are 10 available slots in the creation screen. 😠

     @dosnostalgic or hexedit?

     @jaykass I feel like it's probably easier for me to recompile from available source code rather than to find this value in a WinNT executable.

     So the Quake 3 engine is cooler than I expected for a 1999 game. Turned out that it's not all one executable, but a bunch of DLLs that are loaded at runtime. So I just had to recompile the UI dll, and drop it in the BASEQ3 folder to override the included one, and it just works. 👍

     Here's a nice breakdown of how Quake 3 engine works by Fabien Sanglard:
