Re: [hlds] SRCDS SYSTEM/NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
I think the 1Mbit upstream will be your main problem and don't think that would be enough for that setup. I generally don't think the asymmetric typical ISP layouts are that good for gaming tbh, but if its the only option I'd say at least 2Meg up (probably 3 would make you about safe). Machine Spec wise, I'd say a high end single cpu (like Ath-64's) would probably be ok, and could probably get away with 1G of ram fine with just 2 servers. Depending what other extras you add, may make a difference and incline me to use a dual CPU setup. (Basically I'd keep stuff like web serving away from game servers, depending how much control you have over everything, i.e some webpages if badly coded can easily cause big spikes etc on servers) On 7/17/05, Beau Newcomb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm interested in setting up a dedicated linux box for hosting a couple servers...

There are 8 bits in a byte. 1Mbps (bits per second, the standard measurement for most telcommunications speeds) 1Mbps is capable of sending 1024kbps, which is 1048576 bits per second. 128k is actually 131072 bits per second 16k is 16384 bits per second. Rounded values are however good as they leave some space for oversubscription / link control / protocol overhead. Yeah, I couldn't recommend running a server on 16kbps up.

My server graphs indicate 4.5Kb per player outgoing as the ave for 1.6. So, if you're certain that 16k is in fact your outgoing limit, then this line just isn't suitable to run a server, unless you like very small maps for 4 player action. Outgoing line speed is where the bulk of the traffic is due to each client getting info from the server about all the other clients. -- - m0gely http://quake2.telestream.com/ Q2 | Q3A | Counter-strike ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Problems with CSS Surf Maps
I have a server with some performance problems and I noticed that when running Surf custom maps for CSS there are 100's of errors per minute in the console. The error is something like Datatable Warning:... Out of Range Value.. in Send Prop Float This is bad scripting in the custom map I would think. I have only seen this for people that run these custom Surf maps and not other custom maps. Can someone explain what this means and has anyone else had this problem on CSS surf maps ?

Anyone have any luck execing a config outside the game folder? I have sort of come up with a workaround in my head. Always adding a line at the end of their server.cfg via a dos window every time the server restarts that execs a cfg that is in the gamefolder that they do not have access to (remove permissions to it.)

When launching a hlds server in the command line one must specify a maxplayers -maxplayers 10 for instance. It is possible to put maxplayers 32 in the server.cfg and have the server launch with 32 players instead of 10. I would like a way to invalidate the command in the server.cfg and have only the command line one be used. dex Odd, I was always under the impression that this variable was limited to startup only.

Re: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds
Yes indeed you can use the principle to do any cvar of course. The only thing you need to watch out for are potentially lines might be written like so: sv_something 1; sv_somethingelse 2; maxplayers 234; mp_another 0; As a solution you could build a parser with the for loop command which produces a carriage return after every semi-colon. But don't forget that you need to ignore semi-colon's inside of certain parenthesis. Isn't parsing fun? - You probably don't need to worry, but if you wanted to be complete... ...just a sidenote.

RE: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds
actually im sort of thinking of a variation that does not allow the server to start. It will run before the service starts. If an illegal variable is detected, the wont allow the service to start. It will then squirt out and email to me and the client letting them know an illegal variable has been detected. Rather than change or remove it with the script, the client can change their server.cfg and restart the server. But, your way has merits too. I just have to figure out which is more fool proof. I like the idea of being notified by email with no changes being made, so I can actually go look myself in case a mistake is made. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Tucker Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 10:42 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds Yes indeed you can use the principle to do any cvar of course.

Re: [hlds] Problems with CSS Surf Maps
Would you happen to know if this problem is in all CSS Surf maps or just a few of them ? The bad thing about this I guess is that the server admin may not even know of these 100's of errors unless he has a direct view of the server console.
