Unmonitored
Last week, we seized a computer belonging to somebody who we believe to be involved in the
logistics of a criminal organisation. Upon inspecting the contents of the hard disk in the machine,
we've found some code held in TXT files; the person in question seems to be something of a gamer
with a preference for older titles.
Attached is a sample of one of the code files we found. We're aware of instances where similar
parties contact one another using the likes of Call of Duty as the servers are not monitored;
perhaps they're using some other game in this instance to achieve the same? If it's any help, every
single one of their computer games seems to be rated PEGI 18+.
It looks like this code is some sort of tutorial, they were possibly trying to learn the language...
Could you find out the name of the video game that the scripting language shown in the attached
text file is used with? This will help us to potentially narrow down who else they have been speaking
to by checking for the presence of the game on other seized machines.
NOTE: Remember, its a multiplayer game.
Note: You have just 10 attempts for this so don't guess!

The relevant code file can be found in assets.
Searching Google for "new Players[32]" yielded the exact script on this blog post from 2012, which is duplicated in another post in 2016. The script is written in Pawn, a scripting language used in several games:
Half-Life- Max number of players is 32 (source), and the AMX Site mentions the exact linenew Players[32]Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Multiplayer(source) - No discernable max players limitQuakeCounter-Strike: Global Offensive- ABSOLUTE max of 255 players, but typically defaults to 32 (source)
