Hey guys,
I've got a supermicro server that I have been using as a hl2mp dedicated server for a couple weeks and after looking through this forum I've found I still have a few questions. Below are my computer details and some questions:
Microsoft Windows 2008 Enterprise - running SRCDS w/ MAP & MMS
Supermicro Dual Xeon 1.8GHz HT (2 physical processors, not cores)
2GB 667 ECC Ram
Bandwidth speed tests say I get on average 22Mb down and almost 2Mb up.
- My tickrate is 66 and i dont understand I know thats the default but what is a tickrate and should I change it?
- How do I see my servers FPS and other gameplay performance - how can I change or optimize the different forms of performance?
- When I start Source Dedicated Server it never allows me to change the map (the dropdown is grey and un-clickable). I can only change the map once running. How can I enable that drop down or at least change the default map?
- There are certain settings I run on my server for gameplay such as sv_gravity 125- how can I start my server with these settings as default so I dont have to run commands after start? Is there a cfg file I can edit or is it the variables after the .exe?
- I use HSLW to monitor and maintain my game server, is there any application available that is more specific to managing hl2mp game servers? any advice on hslw for a noob already using it?
- Where can I find hl2mp specific add ons? I run mani admin plugin (latest version) and wonder where I can find cool plug-ins for it - more advanced ranking and other more advanced features.
Sorry for the blast of questions and I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
