[hlds_linux] [OT] kernel compile
Oh wow - ok default redhat kernel is like 2.6mb i think. I was able to recompile mine without alot crap it doesnt need and its now like 760k. I tried to do a 'mkinitrd' but it said that all the loopback devices are in use? any ideas? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] P3 550 performing as a 10-user server
Morten, if you are using FreeBSD, you have to recompila your kernel with this line : options HZ=1000 this will make the CPU usage go up a little bit. Interesting that, using pingboost 1, when the server is empty, the cpu usage went from 3.x% to 5.x%. But when the server was full, the CPU usage seemed to be more or less the same. And, YES !, latency dropped significantly. Just reminding, this is under FreeBSD 4.8-stable. thank you Steven Hartland for the tip.

Re: [hlds_linux] P3 550 performing as a 10-user server
how do i alter the "higher frequency scheduler" With pingbost i have around ping 15-20, without i have 45. how many servers do you think i can run on a p4 2.8 ghz with 2gig ram?

I keep hearing people using ping boosters but I'm not sure > if it's really that beneficial to use it. I currently run a dual athlon > 2400 box w/1GIG RAM and RedHat Linux 8.0 OS. Thanks for any feedback That depends on what version of hlds you use and what pingbooster option. If you are using 3.1.1.0 there is a great differance between pingbooster and no pingbooster... at least with pingbooster 3... the latency are down to 7-9 ms with it on, without it it jumps up aprox 4-5x. (these are my numbers on my server) In 3.1.1.1 I did not get the same result, there is no real cpu jumpage as in *.0 and i did not see any real difference in the latency. perhaps 10 ms in my setup. I switched back to .0 due to massive critism from my regulars. they complained about the higher latency, plus some lagging issues that caused a sertain hit was registered as a miss. I should point out that I have not tested the latest versions of .1 out just yet. so they may have fixed some of the issues I stopped when the first 1b was released. I can also point out that one of the mayor internet cafes here in sweden, that have 8 servers up and running.. the ones with .1 is almost always empty. go figure. If I was to choose I would go for .0 and pingbooster 3. It will eat a lot more cpu... but you will end up with a nice server for people to play on. I have been running 3 servers with .0 without VAC + wwcl on a dual p3 500 with no problem. 1 public 14 players, 1 matchserver 10 player and 1 pub 4 players training maps (ie: awpmap and such).. If you want to lower the cpu usage, remove VAC and install CD... /Bjorn -- The best acceleration you can get on a mac is 9.8 m/s^2 ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
