In multiplayer, when playing with a large number of bots or players, you may stop seeing units and their arrows on the minimap. The same goes for vehicles.

As it turns out, in the original EXE there is a limit of 32 units (including healer droids and other things) for multiplayer (actually, the developers put a limit of 32 units in some places and 62 in others :crazy: ).
I increased the limit to 62 (more is possible, but REALLY difficult):
1. Using HexEditor, find the next code: "03 83 F9 20 7D 07 41"
2. Сhange the code from "03 83 F9 20 7D 07 41" to "03 83 F9 3F 7D 07 41"
3. Find the next code: "34 83 FF 20 7D 0E 89"
4. Сhange the code from "34 83 FF 20 7D 0E 89" to "34 80 FA 3F 73 0E 89"


P.S. I really want increase the limit to at least 126
But there are big problems with that :(

glad to see you increasing limits for the dvd version i have one question what other things have you planned?

This will probably work for other versions as well
As I understood there are the same problem

I want to increase the limit furthermore (if it possible)
And perhaps allow the Jedi bonus to be used in Lua for multiplayer.

that sound awesome can i ask how did you find the value for changing the secondary team to blue ? cheat engine ? i want to see if i can do this for the classic collection version. So far thanks to your tutorial i managed to change friendly color enemy color and locals color. i would maybe also like to find out how to make 4 teams hostile to each other and make them appear in different colors but i understand that will be hard. is it just 1 value for making them team 4 look different ?

Yeah, IDA + CheatEngine + time

No, you will have to create your own function like I did
And find how to distinguish these teams in the code (without sources it is difficult)

thank you my friend so for the secondary team that you made blue that is a value that i could find in the classic collection wheres to make 4 teams all hostile to each other i would need to create the function and find the place where the teams are defined in the code. Do you have discord by any chance ?

You have to find how to distinguish teams. Then create your own function and place it in the existing code
