Zandronum

I didn't even know that was possible lol

I think that's just a server number. I don't think Zandy can handle more than 64...

We could try and join each with 30 clients and see if the server crash, then we know for sure

I seen this before, and i forgot how i did it to my servers, but its a glitch in the way a server client interprets players. I thinks its by maxing everything out for player count and taking it away in a certain order. Or maybe thats for something else.

It could be just a modified server. Zandronum certainly won't support 255 players, the network traffic would be enormous. It can't handle even a burst of 1+MB/s (see http://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=1469) and that's without further counting what each client's DOWNLOAD speed from the server would have to be in order to receive updates of 255 players.

Looks like a Doomseeker glitch to me.

I believe the server just sent -1 instead of player count for some reason.
