very cool. 1 thing that catches the eye is that chat and parts of the settings screen glitch together visually. I hope we can get some players to test this mod been asking for something like this unironically for a long time very excited thanks again @Asura

This is just a simple mod that allows you to set up to 8 teams. I got the idea from  moreteams.zipmoreteams.pyromod  

Nice @Asura! Two things though: 1 can you change the name to extra_players (adds the underscore), because I doesn't like the mod name when I restart 0 ad. 2 the selector overlaps the other settings 

OP even more lag, unbalanced team, and rage quits But awesomely done
