Re: [hlds_linux] tickrate
Thank you for posting this! I never tought of it. By the way, is there a way to reply to the rcon command issuer? I changed the alias to +alias sys_ticrate echo sys_ticrate fixed at $RATE fps, contact us for more , but this only outputs text in console, no reply is sent to rcon command issuer. Is there any other command besides echo to output text the way I intent?

RE: [hlds_linux] tickrate
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The FPS_max command is not used at all. it's only for source servers. Sys_ticrate can be changed with rcon, when you say console, are you referring to the clients console or the HLDS console. if your talking about the HLDS console then yes , you can change sys_ticrate through that. The client should not be able change anything regarding sys_ticrate while ingame. this can lead to a lot of problems for your server. About your next question, i use sys_ticrate 1000 for all my linux fedora 3 4 5 boxes and they run smooth as silk. I have heard from this forum that 800 tic will do the same but I haven't tried it. i have done extensive testing and found these rates are the best for all HL1mods.

My question is: I have a Linux Dual Opteron Dual-Core 2220. When I start up a server (cs 1.6) with the parameters of fps_max 600 and sys_tickrate 500, I get a certain amount of fps on the server when I'm Logged in and do 'rcon stats'. For some reason, if I do 'rcon fps_max 300' and then do 'rcon stats', the fps for the server actually changes. How can I make it so it does not change when the client issues the command through in-game console or hlsw?

My question is: I have a Linux Dual Opteron Dual-Core 2220. When I start up a server (cs 1.6) with the parameters of fps_max 600 and sys_tickrate 500, I get a certain amount of fps on the server when I'm logged in and do 'rcon stats'. For some reason, if I do 'rcon fps_max 300' and then do 'rcon stats', the fps for the server actually changes. How can I make it so it does not change when the client issues the command through in-game console or hlsw?

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I know this is kind of unrelated, but why would you want to run it at 125 tickrate? That actually causes more harm than good. Doors don't work properly and other things. 100 tickrate is actually bad enough with the door problem. Also...I'm not sure if they allow you to go over 100 or not...like I said, 125 would more than likely be degrading to the gameplay than helping it. Make sure you've set fps_max to more than 125 (make sure the server can handle a constant 125+ FPS, type stats in console) and make sure the sv_maxrate is set to 125 or above. I couldn't tell you for sure if you can actually run @ 125 tick or not...and I'm not going to set it to 125 tick to find out. Try those cvars though..if the cvars are the problem it will be those.

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate on Kernel 2.4.x and Kenrel 2.6.x - some suggestions
Sorry, wasn't able to answer earlier. Thanks for your answer. I think it's useful and some test-players already told us the server has poor ingame-performance. Not everyone notices, but a few do. Jens Werner Scott Pettit wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The CPU usage varies mildly between 2.4 and 2.6, but 2.6 definately responds better with things like setting preempting in the kernel config and the fact it is 1000Hz by default (though you can easily make a 2.4 kernel 1000Hz). We run no more than 2 processes per CPU regardless of spec (except with the AMD64 box we're playing around with, it's running 3 servers happily). Any more than that and the servers start to suck when they're all full. Most of our servers are either AMD XP 2700/2800's or P4 3.06's, and have 512MB RAM, apart from two of the machines running srcds as it gets a bit piggy on RAM. The settings we've found best for smooth play and accurate hitboxes is setting tickrate 66 (100 is overkill for internet play when you take latency of residential connections into account), and sv_minupdaterate/maxupdaterate to 100, as well as sv_minrate/maxrate to 2 as well. Bandwidth usage is significantly higher with these settings (we went from 8Mbit in/out at peak to 14Mbit in/out at peak), and will place significantly more strain on your routers due to the additional number of packets, but the smooth gameplay is definately worth it. So to answer your question in the first post: So all I'm asking is: is using a kernel 2.4 and so reducing cpu usage a right way to handle cpu usage issues with tickrate 100? No, the CPU usage difference is relatively small, and not enough to allow you to get another server running on the machine. 2.6 does respond faster, due to preempting and so on - and if you are able to use it then you will get a better experience ingame. -Scott On 11/14/05, Jens Werner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone else who could tell me about similar experiences with srcds?

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate on Kernel 2.4.x and Kenrel 2.6.x - some suggestions
I use 2.6 and a ticrate of 500. 2.4 is throttled by the lower kernel HZ setting but that can be changed. 2.4's memory management at least for me was not what i liked. 2.6's is much better. I jumped to a 3.6 distro as soon as i could. I am using Centos4. Jens Werner wrote: Hi folks, I made an interesting experience on a machine running a 2.4 Kernel for it doesn't work properly with Kernel 2.4. It's a Debian Sarge with Kernel 2.4.27-2-686-smp, 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 HT, 1 GB Ram. I think the kernel 2.6.x issue comes from the mainboard, but that's not the problem, the machine is running very stable with kernel 2.4. So while testing server's stability we set a css server to tickrate 100 for occupying the cpu as much as we can. I noticed several things: 1) CPU usage isn't that high as on a 2.6 kernel with tickrate 100. 2) Framerate of the server is only 50 fps (shown by rcon stats), framerate on 2.6 and tr 100 is 333. Well, of course these two facts are predictable since 2.4 kernel uses less hz or whatever you call it. I think it's 100 hz for kernel 2.4 vs. 1000 hz for kernel 2.6? So of course this kernel-framerate affects server's framerate as well. I know about this for I read this list regulary as well. But now I asked the players on that server how the rickrate 100 works and they all were very enthusiastic and impressed. I have to tell you that we never let servers run at tickrate 100, only tickrate 66 bcause of the cpu usage. Players said their pings are lower and the game is smoother, just what they expect from higher tickrate. So I have this experience made by players on the one hand and the knowledge of the server's less framerate on the other hand and I'm asking what to think about that all. My suggestion for cpu usage is that tickrate 100 on kernel 2.4 uses less cpu because the kernel is at a lower framerate itself thus occupying the cpu less times than a kernel 2.6 would. But the affect of higher css tickrate is kind of the same: The framerate of the css server with tickrate 100 is higher for the same factor on both kernels. Due to kernel it's just not 333 but 50. So all I'm asking is: is using a kernel 2.4 and so reducing cpu usage a right way to handle cpu usage issues with tickrate 100? In fact I suggest it to be this way: The only thing players want with higher tickrate is synchronized hitboxes. This should be the same with kernel 2.4 since the css server just outputs less frames compared to kernel 2.6 but these less frames should be as well synchronized. And if players are that happy about higher tickrate on a kernel 2.4 - why not use it? Don't know if that's anything new to you, but I think it's a ver interesting experience since it shows a way to perhabs reducing cpu usage while using higher tickrates and so making customers happy?

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate on Kernel 2.4.x and Kenrel 2.6.x - some suggestions
When i was running 2.4 players were quite often having registration problems and many complained of lag even though i had plenty of cpu horsepower. With CSS being even more demanding without tweaking the HZ of the 2.4 kernel i bet the same thing is probably true(others may disagree). I know players noticed the 2.4's limitations and noticed it when i switched to 2.6. The comments went to registration was much improved and lag is a non-issue(except when i forget to allocate enough bandwidth G).

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate on Kernel 2.4.x and Kenrel 2.6.x - some suggestions
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The CPU usage varies mildly between 2.4 and 2.6, but 2.6 definately responds better with things like setting preempting in the kernel config and the fact it is 1000Hz by default (though you can easily make a 2.4 kernel 1000Hz). We run no more than 2 processes per CPU regardless of spec (except with the AMD64 box we're playing around with, it's running 3 servers happily). Any more than that and the servers start to suck when they're all full. Most of our servers are either AMD XP 2700/2800's or P4 3.06's, and have 512MB RAM, apart from two of the machines running srcds as it gets a bit piggy on RAM. The settings we've found best for smooth play and accurate hitboxes is setting tickrate 66 (100 is overkill for internet play when you take latency of residential connections into account), and sv_minupdaterate/maxupdaterate to 100, as well as sv_minrate/maxrate to 2 as well. Bandwidth usage is significantly higher with these settings (we went from 8Mbit in/out at peak to 14Mbit in/out at peak), and will place significantly more strain on your routers due to the additional number of packets, but the smooth gameplay is definately worth it. So to answer your question in the first post: So all I'm asking is: is using a kernel 2.4 and so reducing cpu usage a right way to handle cpu usage issues with tickrate 100? No, the CPU usage difference is relatively small, and not enough to allow you to get another server running on the machine. 2.6 does respond faster, due to preempting and so on - and if you are able to use it then you will get a better experience ingame. -Scott On 11/14/05, Jens Werner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone else who could tell me about similar experiences with srcds?

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate 100
that really depends who you ask :-p if you ask a gamer they will likely tell you that every frame matters as it increases shot registration. if you ask a server admin, anything over a few hundred is overkill for sure. realistically, there would be negligible performance gain from a server fps of 333 to 1000. pings will go down a little bit going from 100 to 333, but not too much from 333 and up. basically what it comes down to is pleasing your clients (assuming you are an admin for a rental company). the gamers will see a huge fps and think it is a good server, even though they would be as satisfied with a lower fps. the higher the fps the higher the cpu usage in most cases. normally it is not a drastic change (one or two percent) but it can be higher or lower depending.

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate 100
I think the default for Quake 3 engine games is 20fps on the server side - I remember Q3RA players (in my experience the single most fussy group of gamers when it comes to ping and responsiveness) whining that our servers were only on 20fps, when all the 'good' ones were on 30fps. Anything more than 60fps seems ludicrous to me.

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate 100
I agree, 20 fps in those games and play fine. Fair enough hl may require more framerates for whatever reason, but these should be fixed at whatever is deemed the best figure to get decent playability. Probably the biggest question/issue I never see raised is how much does you fps fluctuate by when busy. It's fine trying to get 1000 fps, but what are you getting when the servers are busy and all in use and loaded max? I bet they're not all happily running at 1000fps without a care in the world when full, so you get inconsistant servers. I still think the best way to go is get a decent setup and fix it, so every server out there is as consistant as possible, whether thats 100fps or 200 or whatever, none of this 1000fps showing what a great server it is until it gets busy, or half the servers running at 50fps, half at 1000.

Re: [hlds_linux] Tickrate 100
Not going to drag it off topic, except to say 125 sv_fps is lan only if thats what you're thinking (if you could get more, wouldn't all the ra3/cpma players be screeming for more than 25/30 fps?), but as said will leave that stuff for steam. Back to tickrate...I doubt its possible as Steve mentions without changing the kernel frequency (I was looking for more odd alternatives/hacks to get around that for those who don't have access to recompile the kernel) . Most I've got is around 330 fps (sometimes hops to more, but I'm guessing thats probably more due to miscalculation or something), but it does seem more stable at that than windows server fps, but too many variables to properly analyse for me. Haven't had any complaints at 333fps anyway.
