Description:

Reverts #6358 and raises the flat cap instead.

#6358 tied the max players on a publicly listed hosted lobby to the map's public lobby size. That raised it on the biggest maps but lowered it on most others (a 1M-tile map went from 100 to 50), which players didn't like.

This puts back the single MAX_HOSTED_LOBBY_PLAYERS constant and raises it from 100 to 500 for every map. That covers The Box's public size (210) and most of World 10000's (720). The per-map land-tile lookup is gone again. The server still rejects a listing whose cap is above 500 with listing_max_players_too_high, including when the request leaves maxPlayers out and the lobby's stored cap is used. The manifest land-tile validation from #6358 stays, so a bad manifest falls back to 1M tiles.

Please complete the following:

• I have added screenshots for all UI updates
• I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
• I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Walkthrough

Hosted lobby player limits now use a fixed maximum of 500 rather than a map-derived cap. The client dialog and server listing checks use this limit. Listing eligibility no longer depends on map-size data.

Changes

Hosted lobby player cap

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared cap and dialog state packages/shared/src/WireSchemas.ts, src/client/components/ListLobbyDialog.ts, tests/client/ListLobbyDialog.test.ts	The shared schema exports a 500-player maximum. The dialog applies that limit to its state, suggestion handling, minimum-player calculation, and slider. Tests use the shared constant.
Host modal listing flow src/client/HostLobbyModal.ts, resources/lang/en.json	The host modal no longer tracks map tile counts, blocks listing when map data is unavailable, or passes a map-derived player cap. The listing error translation now refers to public listing rather than map limits.
Server listing eligibility and map tile reading src/server/Worker.ts, src/server/MapLandTiles.ts, tests/server/HostedLobbyListing.test.ts, tests/server/MapLandTiles.test.ts	Listing requests validate player counts against the fixed maximum, and eligibility no longer checks map-derived caps or map changes. getMapLandTiles validates and caches manifest counts, returning its fallback when reading or validation fails. The tests cover the fixed listing limit and map tile fallback behavior.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d4e6f

This change restores a single 500-player cap for hosted lobbies and removes the map-derived limit. The server checks the cap even when a listing request omits an explicit player count. I found no concrete merge-blocking risk in the reviewed change.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states the main change: hosted lobby listings are capped at 500 players for every map. The raw summary confirms the flat MAX_HOSTED_LOBBY_PLAYERS constant set to 500 replaces the per-map hostedLobbyMaxPlayers helper. The title is specific and concise, and it matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that the PR reverts #6358 and raises the flat hosted-lobby player cap (MAX_HOSTED_LOBBY_PLAYERS) from 100 to 500. It also explains the removal of the per-map land-tile lookup, the server-side rejection of caps above 500 (listing_max_players_too_high), and the retained manifest land-tile validation. This matches the changeset, so the check passes.

_{Five hundred seats set the cap,
The map no longer sets the gap.
The dialog keeps the count in view,
The server checks the same limit too.
Tile counts still find their fallback way,
And public listings skip map-size delay.}

Enforce the 500-player limit on the effective listing cap.

An omitted maxPlayers falls back to the lobby's stored cap. The request schema checks only explicit values. The host patch path accepts a stored cap up to 1000. Eligibility checks only whether the cap exceeds the seated count, and setListed stores the cap without a clamp. A host can list a private lobby with a stored cap above 500 by omitting maxPlayers from the listing request. The previous per-map ceiling that covered this path was removed in this PR.

A check on the resolved cap closes this path:

Suggested fix

   const cap =
     maxPlayers ?? (game.isListed() ? undefined : game.gameConfig.maxPlayers);
   if (cap !== undefined) {
+    if (cap > MAX_HOSTED_LOBBY_PLAYERS) {
+      return "listing_max_players_too_high";
+    }
     const effectiveCap =
       game.gameConfig.gameMode === GameMode.Team
         ? adjustForTeams(cap, game.gameConfig.playerTeams)
         : cap;

This check restores the error key that this PR removed. Add the matching en.json entry and the translateText() call for the listing dialog path.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No blocking issues. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

Code review: No issues found. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

Verified: the server schema (.max(MAX_HOSTED_LOBBY_PLAYERS)) and getListingEligibilityError agree with the client slider ceiling. adjustForTeams only rounds down, so a cap of 500 can never be pushed over the limit. The listing_max_players_too_high toast mapping in HostLobbyModal still matches the server error that is kept. GameConfigPatchSchema.maxPlayers (max 1000) accepts 500. No imports were left dangling.

Validation restored in 9462314; the listing race is pre-existing and answered in thread.
