[hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Server specs
Alfred Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] spoke forth: I find myself being asked quite often about what CPU/net requirements it takes to run a server. I have answers based upon our internal playtesting but I would also like to hear what you guys use in the wild. So, my questions are: 1) What speed CPU do you use for a 32 player HL1 server (CS 1.6) 2) What speed CPU do you use for a 32 player Source server (CS:S) 3) How much bandwidth per user do you allow for a HL1 server 4) How much bandwidth per user do you allow for a Source server 5) How much difference is there in these requirements for other mods? - Alfred Anyone remember this file that went around a lot way back in the day? http://www.cs-onp.com/files/elminst/transfer.xls Spreadsheet to calculate the bandwidth needed for x # of players on a CS server.

RE: [hlds] disappearing bans?
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Fencik Correct. That is what I'm saying. Note that bans are not removed by execing a banned.cfg whose contents are a subset of the current banned list. To speak in mathematical jibberish...upon execution of exec banned.cfg, the set of all bans is equal to the union of the set of currently banned users and the set of users contained in the banned.cfg. The only way to remove bans from the banned.cfg file through rcon is to remove bans from the current list of bans and then to writeid (or wait until your server restarts and writeid). If your current list of bans is empty, then your banned.cfg will be empty. If you change your firing order to the following, you'll be all set: exec banned.cfg exec listip.cfg writeid Dave Okay... done this and we'll see what happens. I still think it's pretty lame though. A writeid should do just that; write the bans in memory to the file. If there are no bans, then nothing should be written to the file! At most it should do an append, not a complete overwrite, and you get a couple blank lines at the end of the file. Elminst -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

RE: [hlds] disappearing bans?
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Fencik This behavior is by design. The bans don't save unless you write them. They will disappear every time the server is restarted, which in your case is every 24hours. Dave Yes.. but that's what the writeid at the end of the server.cfg is supposed to do. So the bans get written to the file on every map change. So you're saying that when the server.cfg is loaded on first startup, a writeid will clear the ban file?

Thus if you have a 4 port hub with 3 100mb/sec connections plugged into it, and 1 10mb/sec connection plugged into it, all 4 connections will only run at 10mb/sec. However a switch will run each connection at its maximum speed. Thus if you have a 4 port switch with 3 100mb/sec connections plugged into it, and 1 10mb/sec connection plugged into it, the 3 100mb/sec connections will all run at 100mb/sec while the 10mb/sec connection will run at 10mb/sec. (To achieve this most switches also have some sort of imbedded controller, this means that many switches also allow you to make some changes to their configuration, such as Nat translation, port forwarding and the like. The configuration changes available vary by switch manufacturer. Hubs however, typically have no controller and thus typically are not configurable.)

I put the higher quality 3Com Etherlink Server (3CR990SV97 model) as the LAN NIC, and set this up with Client for MS Networks, File and Print Sharing and TCP/IP protocols with the settings Manuel had also said below. I then use the 3Com 3C905C-TX-M NIC for the WAN, but only have TCP/IP enabled (no Client for MS Networks or File/Print Sharing) to protect the Server PC and insulate the LAN. I also run BID NAV on both the Server and LAN PC. These are all networked to a 10/100 SMC switch (I heard that a switch is faster than a HUB...but am still confused about what the differences and indications of Hubs vs. Switches is), where the router CAT cable connects into. Because I know that Win2k Server has much faster, and allows more simultaneous connections, I put my HLDS on the Win2k Server box, and running it with a custom user profile. I also Ghosted and image in case it gets hacked. I can restore it back from the 3 CD's (I have lots of maps!) pretty quick. I have nothing else on the Win2k Server PC. How does this setup sound to you? The pings for people are superba lot are getting pings under 50! I am also now running a second HLDS, both running as shortcuts..not as services. So far the most people I have had connected to both games running is about 35...and no crashes or other problems have come up running this for about a week straight (have not had to reboot, or restart, etc.). Sorry this is so long...I'm getting to the heart of my question, but another thought I had was at some point to get another (a third) dedicated (used) PC box from someone, and use that as a dedicated game server, running Win2k Pro, put 2 NIC's in it, also plug them both into the switch, and then configure one NIC to directly connect to the Internet (only using TCP/IP) with another one of the block of public IP's. Then have the 2nd NIC connect in to the LAN so I could have configuring access from the network. If I did that I would also likely get one of those keyboard/mouse/monitor A/B switches so I didn't have to put up another monitor. I guess my real question is: Is there anything wrong with having the Win2k Server box that is also the gateway NAT routing PC run the HLDS games if that's all I have on it? People are getting excellent pings, with many under 50! I understand that the Server PC will get a bit more stressed if I do file transfers, surfing, emailing, play HL as client, etc. from the LAN PC I have now...but I thought that most all of these LAN requests just get passed right through the Win2K Server box out to the Internet. Is there any point to setting up a third PC as a dedicated game server which would have a less powerful OS on it? Again, my apologies for this being so long, and many thanks for any feedback.

Re: [OT] netgraph--frame rate hit
Max fps in CS is hard coded at 100 fps. I think it goes higher in reg HL DM, or other mods... - Original Message - From: Tony Mangialetto [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 4:52 PM Subject: RE: [OT] netgraph--frame rate hit Here's some framerate tips with opengl, turn on vsync, and set your monitor refresh rate to say 100hz. (You can use powerstrip if windows won't let you go over 85hz) Then in HL console type fps_max 100 w/o the quotes. You should now get up to 100 fps in quiet locations. I don't think fps_max will go higher then 100, though, I could be wrong. -Original Message- From: Stan Hoeppner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 3:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [OT] netgraph--frame rate hit If you're running in OpenGL or D3D with net_graph 1/2, you're going to take a fairly severe frame rate hit. If you run with net_graph 3 it should run a lot better, without the pretty colors. I noticed this early on when I first started using net_graph. I settled on net_graph 3 because of the massive FPS hit using the graphically enabled net_graph modes... Speaking of FPS, any idea Erik what may cause the following? My nVidia GF2 MX PCI card gives either 75 FPS or 37.5 FPS, without anything in between, using OpenGL (I've never tried D3D). Eric Hall has a GF2 Ultra AGP, and said he noticed the same behavior. This seems very wierd to me. It's like full or half, no middle ground. I'm running W2K Pro SP2, Nvidia ref drivers version 12.41. It is viewpoint dependant. If I look in a direction where there are no players behind the foreground object, say the rock wall beside the APC in Militia, it is 75 FPS. If I then turn and look 180 degrees the other way, where there are player models on the other side of the map, the FPS drops to exactly 37.5. Wierd Any ideas?
