[hlds_linux] hlds 1.1.2.0 - config_hz=1000 still desirable?
Hello folks, I'd like to know if the stated hlds version still benefits from a kernel with the config_hz=1000 option in association with the sys_ticrate parameter. I'd also like to know how to realize this setup. I used Redhat 8.0 and copied the i686 config file from /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs to /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config, just like the Appendix A from the Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guids says. I altered the option and started menuconfig afterwards (I didn't find the option within there). After saving the config with menuconfig I have a .config.old and a .config file. But they differ from ~39k (new) to ~44k (old), and the new file doesn't contain this option anymore! Confused, can you help out?

RE: [hlds_linux] After 3 years, I've had enough.
God I'm so sick of these messages. You obviously don't run any other servers for communities aside from HLDS, if you did you'd see that Valve's input and response is *miles* ahead of most other communities out there. As far as supporting the community Valve have consistently come up with the goods for a game many years old they, for a very long time, received bugger all additional income for. Just go away Joe Null, and leave it to the people who have a clue about the overall perspective. -- Nathan Woodcock System Administrator (Online Gaming) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.game.net/ > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Simon Garner > Sent: 09 October 2003 05:49 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] After 3 years, I've had enough. > > > On Thursday, October 09, 2003 4:13 PM [GMT+1200=NZT], > joe_null <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > think you're a hard core Linux HLDS playa' eh, jeez now u wanna help > > Valve and Steam, well all of a sudden you're running a > Windoze server > > in addtion to Linux, lining Billy's pockets a little bit from > > nothing. we do not know the whole story behind this and most likely > > never will. however we do know what we have experienced, alot of > > hassle for supporting and promoting a product of someone else's, > > which never would have made it to the level of popularity it has, > > without the 'community' that runs 70% of the servers out there. > > > > Do you believe in UFOs too? > > -Simon > > > ___ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list > archives, please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
