While I know it's not that good idea for some default westwood maps, some custom maps are quite big and loads of players spend time waiting at the terminal for a vehicle to get destroyed.
My question is this: Is it possible to edit or remove the limit or are there any plans to?

i don't think we sould respect that limit, we are not respecting the mine limit because on some maps you need a lil more then you need on others. In large games the vehecle limit is just not enought.

I played on a server that removed the vehicle limit and it sucked. It was impossible to leave the base without a vehicle... not fun at all.
I'm the bawss.

A vehicle limit of 12 would be nice.
|
But imagine what a 12 Flamer rush could do to a base...

Not possible without a client change, and we're not going to lock out non core patch users .. they wouldn't be able to buy vehicles any more..

not true, ther is a server called -RG-FANMAPS.NET [UltraAOW with no vehecle limit at all, I don't see why that can't be moded to include a set limit.

yeah, that server seems to be able to select which vehicles have a limit or not. like buggies and LTANKS have no limit, but flamers and mammies do.
Kinda good to stop idiot snipers hogging up the entire limit by just having 5 of them on a ledge each (on maps like desert combat, country_side and tib pit) with their buggy/orca parked behind them

What would work well is if the scripts first on startup read a config file to see if auto-vehicle limit config was set to on. Then if it was a script would see if a connection couild handle more vehicles. If it could then the server checks the player limit. Then throw in some math and raise/lower the limit accordingly.
That would work well and as long as it was ONLY run when the server first started up it wouldn't slow anything down. Except because of the new vehicles but if the server can handle it why not?

This time as a great hero...

zunnie's vehicle hack changes the vehicle presets to the single player models, which have no vehicle limit attached to the engine. It only works for specific vehicles.
You cannot change the vehicle limit with this.
The only way is to change the engine. It's possible, but it needs a client change. And that is why we are not doing it.

Once the number of vehicles reaches eight the client displays the "limit reached" icon regardless of what the server's limit is. You could most likely patch the client, but that would create an unfair advantage for players with the patch.

Actually it works for all vehicles... All you have to do is set the Vehicle team type to unteamed...But then again I think the buggy and humvee didnt work when you did this they would just blow up.

The original maps made by Westwood are a bit too small, but there are enough Fanmaps which are big enough for rushes with 15 or more vehicles. think of Afghanistan, Roleplay (ok, not really C&C mode), Colossus2r1 and many more...
But we dont need the Limit-Hack, because due to the fact we have the vehicle wreckages, we can rush with more than 6 or 8 vehicles...
Just buy a med, wreck it, then buy the next and so on.... 
OT: Isn´t it that Renegade was originally set up to= max 64 Infantry and max 16 vehicles in one game? I saw some servers with 127 slots....
