Chris, the specification of the protocol is in the source code for the
server, you should read and understand the relevant sections as soon as
yohu have a question about how the protocol works.

MAXPLAYER is set in include/config.h to 32.  That's player number zero
through to 31, as you observed.

How far are you from release?  We're synchronising here for a 1st June
release for several components.
