If you have a modded server.dll or server_i486.so file - it may no longer work. Here are the replacements:

v1.0.0.6 as of 25/10/07


32 Players server_i486.so (Linux):

http://youngteam.eu/files/tf2/v1.0.0.6/server_i486.so.tar.bz2

(Currently doesn't allow your server to show on master server list)

Thanks to LIONz for providing.

32 Players server.dll & engine.dll (Windows):

http://youngteam.eu/files/tf2/v1.0.0.6/server.dll.zip
http://youngteam.eu/files/tf2/v1.0.0.6/engine.dll.zip

How-To

Back-up your existing server.dll and engine.dll from /tf2/bin before replacing.

After you've replaced the files, go to /tf2/cfg/valve.rc and open this file in notepad or something similar. Add:

Code:

maxplayers 32

and add the usual:

Code:

+maxplayers 32

in your startup parameters.

is there anymore info on the networking compatibility? it still seems to not like being behind a NAT.

I'm working on a Linux version right now...

Also the updated versions should always be found here as well (Providing Valve doesn't do something drastic next update)
http://www.battlerealms.cc/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1768&view=findpost&p=29433

And you do not need to add maxplayers 32 into the valve.rc file.

Just run it with +maxplayers 32 and it will work fine

I have an update to the linux one for yesterday's update, and 1nsane is having me test the other mod to make the server show up in server browsers.

Added the info from latest post there. Is the file provided by LIONz there the proper linux bypass to show on the server list or just a norm 32 player bypass?

[kilorat]

Mine doesn't address the bypass issue, and I think the bypass has to be done in another file, not just server_i486.so.
As soon as someone figures it out I'll make a patch for that too. 1nsane is working on it, I dont know who else is still trying.

Well when i change the engine.dll i getting this message "memory could not be read"
It all worked last night but when the server got the new steam update
I got that wrong message=(
And the server is shutting down.

Anyone have an idea why?
