Server Size

• Change max player size to 20
• Let ops join beyond this maximum

Max player is now 40 by default for private game servers. Is it too much? Also, the max player is now configurable on demand through the bot.

I would stick to 20 max for now, yeah. The server owner and any staff should be able to bypass that 20 cap if possible, so if there are 20 people online and the owner is disconnected, they can join for a total of 21 connected players.

I think any more than 20 is getting unreasonable on the box for the most part, while leaving plenty of room for a nice 8v8 or 10v10 scrim. Curious to hear other's thoughts.

Currently, the OPs can bypass the slot limit. I switched to 20 players maximum and if this number needs to raised then:

• if it's for an event where we need a lot of players to be able to join, @Indicardo can do it trough the MAX_PLAYERS environment variable.
• if it's in general, for game private servers, then anyone from the staff can do it by editing the server.properties file in the config repository on Gitlab.

By OPs, do you mean players who are on the config OP list? Or any opped players, that the server owner has opped ?

We'd want only the server owner to be able to bypass the limit -- not any other players they've manually opped themselves from in-game.

[unixfox]

Only OPs from the default list and the op added by the bot. The OPs that gets added after the server is started can't bypass the limit.

This is now fixed / done.

Another fantastic bot addition would be the ability for an admin user to pass an argument to the !!my-server command, requesting a server of max player size N. I'll @Indicardo and @unixfox on this.

It'd have to be something that only an admin in that Discord can do I think.
