ShiftLobbyPlus

Unlocks the 3-player lobby cap in Shift At Midnight. Host lobbies with up to 8 players by default — configurable from 1 to 243.

Only the host needs this mod. Joining players install nothing.

Features

• "Max Players" dropdown in the lobby-creation screen extended from 1/2/3 to 1..N
• Removes every internal 3-player clamp (Steam lobby limit, Photon room limit, Fusion simulation player slots — including the separate voice-chat room, which is also capped at 3 in vanilla)
• Logs a session status line every 15 seconds to MelonLoader\Latest.log (player count, cloud-confirmed room cap, per-player RTT) so you can verify it is working

Installation

Install with a mod manager (recommended) — MelonLoader is pulled in automatically as a dependency.

Manual install: install MelonLoader into the game first, then drop Mods/ShiftLobbyPlus.dll into <game folder>/Mods/.

Always launch the game through Steam.

Configuration

After the first launch, edit <game folder>/UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg:

[ShiftLobbyPlus]
MaxPlayers = 8

Range 1–243 (243 is the Photon room protocol limit).

Notes

• The game was designed for 3 players. With more, spawn points, story scripts or performance may misbehave — that is the game, not the mod.
• Tested working with 4+ players on retail v1.0.1.
• The mod only modifies your local client and the rooms you host.
