Re: [hlds_linux] renting a box
If you read the email, that was sent last before this email by Scott Pettit, wou will have some indication of what to expect. Other then that.. I would think about rephrasing your question if i were you. This is like asking: How many potatoes fit in a bag? Depends on the size of the potatoes and the bag etc etc. Jean-Philippe Caron wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm about to rent a box in chicago (Equinix) amd athlon64 3500+ 3 gig ram linux centos how many counter-strike server will I be able to run on it im talking about 12slot private or my box specs wont do anything good for game hosting -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- Gamefuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gamefuel.nl ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] renting a box
Actually he states that he want to run X amount of 12 slot hlds servers on a specific hardware. I never used amd procs with hlds, so I dont know how many that will fit his hardware. But a guess would range from 3 to 6. I run 4 16 player servers on dual Xeon 2.4GHz. /Bjorn On Mon, 30 Jan 2006, Gamefuel Support wrote: If you read the email, that was sent last before this email by Scott Pettit, wou will have some indication of what to expect.

Re: [hlds_linux] renting a box
True, but it still depends on what his settings are (tickrate, sv_maxrate, etc, etc) and how busy these servers will be. The only way to find this out, is to see for yourself what is the max you can squeeze out of it (if squeezing the max out of your server is what you want). If they are going to be empty 95% of the time, you can run as many as your 3GB mem allows you to. kama wrote: Actually he states that he want to run X amount of 12 slot hlds servers on a specific hardware.

Re: [hlds_linux] renting a box
As he stated private servers, I was in to the influence that he meant warservers. So all the rates should be set to max, without getting any lag. sys_tickrate should be set to a value that makes the server respond quick enough. I normaly have set sys_ticrate somewhere between 200-300. Setting it higher does not help. I have tried really high values, but instead got decreased performance and some strange lag even though the CPU wasn't maxed out. Even if they are empty 95% of the time, the last 5% may be occupied at the same time. So you should not run more servers than it can handle at peak. Overbooking in a gameserver environment is not a good thing. It's timecritical and needs to be operate smoothly. Its not like a webserver, where you can wait a couple of extra seconds for the server to respond to your request. /Bjorn On Mon, 30 Jan 2006, Gamefuel Support wrote: True, but it still depends on what his settings are (tickrate, sv_maxrate, etc, etc) and how busy these servers will be.
