slots vs. tick

[dualcore1289]

whats the max slots that you should have at 100tick? and 66 tick, and 33 tick? and with the more slots, the lower tick, will the quality, like registration and lag be less with a lower tickrate with more slots?

[Drocona]

100 => max slots 18
66 => max slots 32
33 => everything

You will see that if you run a 100 tick higher than 18 slots, the tickrate will automatically drop (cause the server can't handle), but there will be some lag issues since the server still is set to 100 tick but can't hold it.

not questioning your knowledge, but homecome i go to some servers that are like 32 slot 100 tick, and itll be full, and it wont lag, and the tick stays? does it depend on the company?

every server is different, drocona's list is the recommended guidelines from valve, mess with your settings until you find something you like.

i heard there were new cvars release, like sv_maxrate of like 70000 or something like that, can you tell me all the new cvars, or the ones that have changed and to what?

[Drocona]

sv_maxrate can be set to a max of 100000 on the new Orange Source engine.
I haven't hear of new cvars however, but I don't know everything

My list has been proven on a lot of servers, I can get over those guidelines because I know how to but someone just installing the server (I've yet to see a GSP even coming close to achieving this too) won't get any higher than those values most of the time.
