sorry im an idiot, you have all settings right. i had so many files open and trying settings and codes back and forth that i didn´t think of testing it with the .exe posted.
try this one here its only tested locally with bots so may not work online in "real" conditions.

also you can use the "run ../../mods/bf1942/" method to change maxbots easier (it can be needed to set lower then 128 if it lags). it also take much longer for the map to load with that many bots, it can look like the game just stop loading for a while.

That doesn t solve the problem for online gaming at all freddy, booting servers to 128 slots !
Also with your idea, server reboots with 32 slots max.It doesn´t work.
As I said already. The solution is to find in editing the BFSM Server & Remote Tool from Kevin Lockitt.

And I guess Tuia made already some small steps forward ;o)

BFServerManager and BFRemoteManager for Windows maximum players limit raised to 128, but I'm not sure if BFServerManager will work correctly when over 64 players are in the server. BFServerManager may crash and some players may not show up in the Players List, when over 64. I couldn't test it.

I fixed another limitation using in-game commands when targetting a player with an ID over 64, for instance, !kick .71 did not work before. Also did some other minor cosmetic changes.

BFServerManager v2.0 (final) for Windows patched:
BFServerManager20final-patched.zip
MD5: 319CF806A36F6F706D742AE3DBEF7835

BFRemoteManager v2.0 (final) patched:
BFRemoteManager20final-patched.zip
MD5: 7F60038C4AE1D06819DCA86243D138AE

Note: I've used BFServerManager v2.0 (final) instead of BFServerManager v2.01, because BFServerManager v2.01 has a bug, which can't handle correctly player names with non-ASCII code.

Here are the patched files of Battlefield 1942 server executables for Windows. They include the changes to prevent 2 exploits (game.createLocalPlayer and game.setTeam) and maximum players limit was raised to 128. Included also a patched DedicatedServer.exe so you can easily select up to 128 maximum players.

There is one problem, when the server has more than 64 players it isn't listed in the in-game Gamespy server list.
Could you possibly have this for Linux 1.6?

I've also seen servers with 72 instead of 128; do you just add this patch and then select the max players you want with the patched BFServerManager?

It also seems like it is tracked on Gametracker on the server that has over 64 players, so good job; you're brilliant.
