Hi everyone, I have managed to get my server up and running and I think its all ok but I need a few people to go on at the same time to test it and make sure it will run ok or if I need to change anything inc. hardware in the pc.
the server address is hullukpublic.servecounterstrike.com:27015
any help is appreciated...
Thanks in advance

Sorry if anyone tried to connect tonight, we had power cut and I didn't realise that of course a power cut means it will shut down my server pc to.
Its all back up now if anyone wants to test it and give suggestions, would be good if a few people can arrange a rough time over the weekend to go on at the same time to test its performance.
Thanks

Thanks a lot, i'll have a look at that laggfree.com I'll be on it myself later on hopefully. do you think I should enable a couple of bots incase people go on and no-one else is?

I have added the 4 bots and that seems to work well. just need to get people on now, I will be adding more RAM to the server to which should help with smoothness, it runs smooth on mine and my girlfriends pc but we are connecting through lan so I guess that makes a difference.
But anymore suggestions are appreciated.

Custom maps also help bring in players, but be warned that they can cause server crashes.

AND if you run custom maps with bots on... MAKE sure you have ALL the nav files... them are a pain in the butt, and the last thing you want is to have a server full.. but when it changes map, at first it adds bots, and then has to go through the whole process of generating the nav file. and everyone leaves.. soo yea. other then that.. just try to play as much as possible on it... that will be the best way to get ppl in.
also.. you might just wanna make sure too.. that if you don't have fast downloads.. try and keep the file sizes down... no one wants to dl a huge map in trickle.

Two things you should have for a great server...
.res files! So your clients get EVERYTHING
sv_downloadurl! So your clients dont have to WAIT! Cuz no one likes to wait...
Thats about it.
