Allow for 10+ players to sit down (Since the servers with 20 seats available are pointless otherwise) and more custom player colours.#1208

Hey Devs, would you ever consider adding custom colour players? I’m more just interested in allowing for 10+ people to actually sit down, just feels weird having servers bigger then 10 and then not even being able to let more than 10 players join. I want to play bigger games but everyone just has to be spectators and take turns, been waiting for this feature to be adding for a few years

GUI mock-up for if you decide to add more colours instead of custom colours, was also wondering if it would be possible if anyone could actually script this or if this was actually even possible to script in?

I think it would be a really good quality of life thing, allow more customisability and more players (so the larger servers of more than 10 people actually have a point of existing)

Also i’m trying to make a game that has more than 10+ players and a lot of the board games I play have 10+ player amounts but since Tabletop Simulator doesn’t allow for more than 10, many have to sit out.

Here is a list of games that involve 10+ players: Werewolf, Cards Against Humanity, Uno, Two Rooms and Boom, Poker, Deception, Code Names, Encore, Golf, Welcome Too… (100+ players can play this lmao). I’m not asking for 100 players though, something like an increase to 20, 15, 16 or whatever. I’d imagine it wouldn’t even make much performance difference as we can already have servers full of 50 players but 40 of them need to be spectators :\

Yeah I don’t know why this isn’t a thing, i’m getting bored of the current colours as well

Also maybe make it something only Lua scripts (and maybe also console commands, like object highlighting) can do, to preserve backwards compatibility; there’ll be a lot of errors if Vermilion and Violet are passed to scripts that haven’t expected it since Brown and Teal were added.

I second the idea of doing this as a scripting update. No need to make any GUI changes.

Simply add a Player.addColor() method. Modders who want to go over 10 can provide a UX for that particular mod.

What’s the reason for this limitation, anyway? Quite a few games that support 10+ players.
