[MOD] Extra Players — Raises player limit to 14 ( Increase player limit ) (Use appropriate version if using ModernGUI)

[Asura]

  Adds support for up to 14 players in random maps (default
  is 8).

  Features:
  - Player slots 9–14 with unique colors and default
  civilizations
  - Works in game setup, diplomacy panel, capture bars, and
  end-game summary

  Installation:
  1. Download and extract the zip into
  ~/.local/share/0ad/mods/ (Linux) or %appdata%\0ad\mods\
  (Windows)
  2. Launch 0 A.D., go to Settings → Mod Selection, enable
  Extra Players
  3. If using ModernGUI or any other mods that are not made to handle 14 players, disable them or use the patched version below
  4. Click Save Configuration and Launch

  Notes:
  - Only works on random maps (scenario maps have fixed
  player counts)
  - Try disabling other mods if you encounter issues
  - Tested on 0 A.D. Alpha 28 (0.28.0)

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

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

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

[Asura]

Added Patched version for ModernGUI , fixed screen glich in moderngui

Thanks for the feedback!

How’s the performance? If I recall the reason the devs were hesitant to add something like that was because they didn’t think it could run well.

its actually been good, i have already played some matches. Few players disconnected some times, but overall the game was smooth

Note to future Mac users: enable it as the first mod. It crashed my game

create feature then people adapt...

the more mods the less new players.
i couldnt spec Appa02's 1v1 coz of unknown network error. He had this mod installed. 
I think mods should not break back compatibility, otherwise they kill this game.

@Asura, if you add this line

	"ignoreInCompatibilityChecks": true,

to your mod.json, then not everybody will have to have the mod, only the host. I'm not sure how it will work for this mod, but maybe try it

@Asura, thanks for the mod!
We played several matches yesterday, and it ran with no noticeable performance differences. We did notice that River and Random Group Placement weren't working properly. River crash on loading, and Random Group Placement got stuck at 6% loading.

Seems to be his network issue or he has some mods that are limited to 8players like moderngui while using this mod in parallel, pls share error msgs

played multiple 5v5, one 6v6 with others here, and I can say its pretty darn smooth than expected! quite good compared to what everyone would assume it to be... and @kheeva I had the mod installed and I also could not join his 1v1.. it seems to be problem of him.. I am currently in the game you are playing haha even though its without the mod

Thanks for feedback Guerringurrien, I too noticied sometimes loading stops at 6% especially when 11+ users are in game but rarely. Need to check with group placements and other maps.
