DDNet Client modification

is it possible for someone to make a client mod to the ddnet client to give the ability to connect four tees to a single client? I was wandering about this because there are a few maps that require more than two tees and sometimes it is very annoying(and sometimes impossible) to play a map with two different clients. I was thinking that you could bind a key to switch between the two sets of two tees and then you still have your regular binds for each of those sets. I do not know all that much in coding(i know some basics, but not enough) but if someone does know and could post it here that would be very helpful :D

Sometimes (especially on NA servers) we can't find anybody suitable or someone at all.

You might open 2 times the client and use dummy & alt+tab

Ameb, that is what I am trying to avoid. for me it is cumbersome and very annoying, and im sure it is possible to add another pair of tees to one client if you know how to code.

It is indeed possible. Main question is whether it is reasonable or not.

I know somebody who has such a function in his own clients and finds a reason to use it.

It is sad to play a 4 player map with 3 dummys, i mean the map is supposed to be teamplay. Don't go pointhunting. If there are not enough players for 4 player maps, don't play them.

Welf, many times (especially for USA when i play) I will see that there are actually no one even on the usa servers, and i have to play with dummy. I noticed that there are a bunch of maps with 3-4 players min and they have a lot of cool parts in them that arent possible with only 2 tees, but without other people, i cant play them and many times others dont want to play those maps.
CffTime, I dont think that it has to be in an official ddnet client, i was just thinking it could be an optional modification thing that you can download if you are a player in this situation, or if you need to test a map that your making with more players needed.

You need just one person with dummy.
