Thanks!, damn this game makes editing stuff so complicated lol.

UE3-based games do tend to be complicated to configure by hand (some of the worst!). Most come with web administration that eases this quite a bit, but CMW hasn't released that quite yet.

I see.

BTW John, will you guys give users the options to run 64 slots? Right now we can only run up to 32 slot.

That really depends on the game itself, when we spoke to the developer he said the game runs best at 32 slots. At 32 slots it already uses a lot of CPU.

For those on managed VDSes or dedicated servers you can edit the command line to run more players, though I do not recommend it.

[IcEWoLF]

Adding the command line only works for the starting map, it defaults things back to 32 slots after the first map.

Are you sure? Changing the value or setting -maxplayers=64 on the command line should keep it at 64, if not there might be a bug in the game resetting it.

The developer did say that they have only tested up to 32 slots, so it could be an unknown issue. I also haven't been able to find a company that offers 64 slot servers.

[IcEWoLF]

I tried and after the first map change it goes back to 32, I suppose I am fine with this for now.
The game needs some serious updating either way...

Incorrect. This game ignores what the command line says. I am currently running a 50 slot LTS server. You need to edit the ini file for the PCServer-UDKGame.ini file in the UDKGame\Config\ directory. Look for....

[Engine.GameInfo]
DefaultGame=AOC.AOCGame
DefaultServerGame=AOC.AOCGame
bAdminCanPause=false
MaxPlayers=32


Change the MaxPlayers=32 to whatever you want the server to be. After the map change, this ini file is read and whatever variable you have it set to, is what it will be.

Take a looksy...

kraze, the format for UE3 games is generally maxplayers=xxx after the map name and other options. For instance,

AOCTO-Hillside_P?maxplayers=32?steamsockets

This seems to work in CMW as well, although CMW doesn't really respect maxplayers (it allows up to 32 people to join, even while it's saying the maxplayers correctly).

Since CMW uses as much as an entire CPU core at 32 slots with even the fastest machines, I would not recommend trying higher than this. 64 slots would result in horrible lag.

Ah I see, the game documentation has lied to me then...

[TacTicToe]

Well all I can tell you is how it works for me by trial and error. If I change the ini file it works, if I change the command line and not the ini file, it reverts back to the default 32 players.

What does the full command line look like? I've seen some game servers out there need to have things like player slots set at the very end because of the way the game handles it... it's an oddity... and it may or may not be the case here. Though the battlelog is scheduled for maintenance tonight at 1 AM Eastern.
