thanks rick :) I must admit i am kinda new to this, so all feedback is good :) if anyone would like to, im usually on irc @ irc.patchychat.net channel #seigeclan, maybe u could help test it with me maybe even a little game? ;p
And its not just the server im kinda new to... I used to be a UT player but played CS when not playing that, just not as a clan... until now... hence the need of a server :) So u could say im kinda new, kinda not new to cs if u get me :D Ian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick and Cheryl Sent: 07 September 2002 09:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Just a few things You know what, I have no sv_min or max settings in my config and it works better that way than anything I have tried setting them to manually. I am also testing the pingboost 2 arg but this is recent and what little I have played with it, I see a modest gain at best. Of course all of those settings are somewhat hardware/connection specific so who knows how it would apply to your box, I suggest a lot of trial and error to nail down your optimum. HLGuard is needed ESPECIALLY if your one of us TFC admins out in the cold for VAC right now. HLGuard is so-so on detection, the first couple of days after 1.2 came out was nice but I have been catching cheaters by spec'ing them again already so I know the cheaters already have patches. I am just biting my tongue and waiting for TFC VAC while doing what I can... mostly depending on regulars to tip me off to possible cheaters. Adminmod is a must in my opinion, not just for the help in administration but players simply expect it these days, I can't imagine a popular server without it. Halfd is also a must unless you have a number of admins helping you out. It makes monitoring and interaction from outside the game a pleasure. It also adds a lot of important stuff on the player side, some of it in addition to adminmod and some that enhances standard adminmod features. After that you can decide if you want bots or not, custom maps, and a log analysis/statistics script. Naturally you will start to look at some of the very kewl adminmod plugins but by then it will be nearing time for one or more of the major packages you have installed to be upgraded. It can be as much work as you want to make it I suppose but to run a good server with happy users (who pay you nothing and often gripe), it takes some time and effort. Welcome to the rat race, it is honestly a lot of fun most of the time.
