Max number of ZDoom players
What is the maximum number of players allowed in a ZDoom game? I want to define an array in an ACS script whose dimension is the same as the maximum number of players, so as not to risk to overrun it.

8.
32 if you want to keep it open for Skulltag compatibility in the future.

Re: Max number of ZDoom players
Is 8 the hard coded limit? What about Gzdoom?

Re: Max number of ZDoom players
Isn't there a constant like MAXNUMOFPLAYERS ? Could be helpful when eventually that '8' could be changed.

Re: Max number of ZDoom players
Pardon the 4-year necrobump, but it's still 8 right now, right? Has there been any talk about increasing this?

Yes, it's still 8.
It will be increased when Master/Slave is done, I think... (Correct me if I'm wrong, Edward850.)

Re: Max number of ZDoom players
It'll be bumped whenever it's safe to bump, and everything related to that is designed for the new player count, is the simple answer to that.
No sense bumping the player count if you can't actually spawn that many players.
