Rust Fake player count

[Samotniaczek]

Hey, I've been wondering around the source file but I can't find any way to make it work, have anyone tried it before and it worked?

If your the server owner under server.cfg you have to add a server.population and tag with Ai / NPC limited to 30 anything above 45-65 players won't be able to join if you have 100 players server.

And you say that this method will result to show fake players in server browser ?

[HoustonGuy]

Yes I do it to my server before it works just can't exceed current limits wouldn't recommend it due to real players joining and they won't be able to join due to AI

[Samotniaczek]

Quick question, can you send me that line because I'm not sure how to tag an AI

IDK If Still works
Step 1: Download your managed folder.
Step 2: Get dnspy.
Step 3: Open assembly-csharp.dll in dnspy.
Step 4: Go to { }.
Step 5: Scroll down to ServerMgr namespace.
Step 6: Go to line 1090
Step 7: Change global::BasePlayer.activePlayerList.Count; to global::BasePlayer.activePlayerList.Count + x; x being the number of extra players.
Step 8: Now do ctrl+s and re-upload it to your ftp managed folder...
