Cool!

For anyone that wants to try this, "-unrestricted_maxplayers" is a launch option. You can then set the maxplayer value when you create a server from the "Find a game" menu.

It works with the "bot" command, "tf_bot_quota 100" however doesn't seem to spawn all 99 bots despite making them join the game.

 

[Sergis]

so is the edict limit a thing of the past now?

 

[Tiftid]

Don't think so.
In fact, I think that's part of the reason why they've put the new 100 player feature behind a launch option.
