Description
This mod fixes the issues caused by an increase of the player limit of the GM mode, up to 8 players (+GM).

How to increase the GM mode player limit
It's suprisingly easy because it's the same manipulation than in story mode.
To do that, download this meta.lsx file[drive.google.com].
Place it into Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\DefEd\Data\Mods\GameMaster\
Now you can have up to 10 players in your game. You can change the limit directly by changing the corresponding line in the file.
This step is mandatory for everyone, otherwise the game will go in installation screen for clients
NOTE : when you don't use the player limit expansion as a player or as a host, remove the meta.lsx from the GameMaster folder ! If you join a game that doesn't use it or vice-versa, you will have a long installing screen or even a crash !

What now ?
Every campaign that you create or save that you load will now have an increased player limit. The lobby can contain only 4 players, but once in Character Creation screen, additionnal players can join.
WARNING : If you add players by doing Party Reroll, the game can crash for the new players. To avoid that, it's recommended to start another instance(s) of the game, make the "fake" players join, validate the Character Creation and then turn the unneeded characters to NPCs via the tool provided in NPC Control Tools
It's recommended to set a manual starting point for each of your scenes.

Having issues with this mod, when we use it we can get a total of 5 players to join (Excluding GM) but we can go over this. Is there a way to resolve this?

Make sure everyone check their meta.lsx file is at the correct location. It won't work if it's not the case.

Hey Luxen, thanks for your contribution with this mod!! This is still working? Yesterday I played as GM with 5 friends. just 4 off then could play, the 5º don't. :c

You need to change the meta.lsx only if you want to go over 8.
And that is something that is going to be obsolete soon anyway, this mod will soon require the extender and will make the meta.lsx shenanigan not necessary anymore.

Well, you won't get any better result here. It's basically the GM version of LaughingLeader's mod.

Doesn't do the desired result but I talked with Laughing Leader already after I made that comment xD

A year later, 2022;
Not running a Game Master game, but an Adventure, and running the expanded party mod, and I read the description and using the information you set there, players in GM Mode could join off using direct connect via the character creation.

I wanted to know if there's a way that can work in Adventure, so all my darling friends can have their own character to play as. Would it work the same?
