Server Questions

[mzracer360]

I have a couple questions about my Server.  When I start the server the console looks like this:

Console initialized.
Game.dll loaded for "Counter-Strike: Source"
maxplayers set to 32
Server logging enabled.
Server logging data to file logs\L0926000.log

Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27011
Connection to Steam servers successful.
   VAC secure mode is activated.

For the red text, why does it exec those twice?
For the blue text, I have never seen this before, what does it mean?

Also, I would like to know is the rates I have set are good.  I have a PC running XP with 1 gig of memory and a 3.00 CPU.  My upload is 548kbps.  I would like to run a 10 slot server, but can go with 8 slots if neccesary.
sv_maxrate = 7014
sv_minrate = 4000
sv_maxupdaterate = 23
sv_minupdaterate = 0

If any more info is needed, please let me know.

Check your list server config list and see if these cmd's are at the very end.

Of not they should be.

BTW - I play on the same PC that the server runs on. I just joined a game with 2 others, both with pings of around 220 and speaking a language other than english; best part is there was no lag at all!!!

[troyton]

no lagg! they have 220 pings thats lagg ^^ but when more join it will lagg - even tho no lagg i think its not wise to still play on the same pc

[fqdn]

i would put somethign in for minupdaterate even 10 will do, setting to 0 has weird effects sometimes.

[Drocona]

How did you make up those rate settings if I may ask?

7014 maxrate, why the 14
23 maxupdaterate isn't good at all. you should have atleast 33 but best is to set it to 100 since it's limited by the tickrate anyway. If you have it on 100 and the tick is 33 then it will use 33.

[mzracer360]

I used a calculation from a thread of the steampowered forums. I can't get the link of it now though, it seams to be down or something i get a 403 forbidden error. Anyways, my upload is 548 and using that in the calculation I came up with 7014

[Drocona]

yeh that would be 548*128/10 players= 7014
I suggest setting it to 7500, mostly you ahve to go a bit higher than that calculation, I always get choke when I use that exact number

[mzracer360]

OK, Ill try that out. BTW can anyone get to the steampowered forums? I still can't.

They're being upgraded, they'll be back sometime after 8pm PST
