Hosting a 10slot 100tic server on a spare computer?

[darkflames]

I was thinking of hosting a 10slot 100tic server for me and my friends to use to scrim on when ever we want. The server is a Amd 64 3200 with 1gb of ram. My upload speed is 760kb. Do you think it is possible to run a 10slot 100tic server on this?

The hardware will be more than enough, has for the bandwith i'm a little skeptical about it. I'm not too sure about 100tick maybe 66?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO!


Your bandwidth = fail xD

If 3 people are in that server it will lag like crazy, no less 10

Don't try it

Hope this helped

The above poster is unfortunately wrong... Depending on the location of your friends, your pings will vary. As for the lag part, you won't lag if you tweak your rates correctly.
The above poster probably has no idea what and how to set rates up correctly, let me tell you this - it took me a lot of work to get perfect rates for my connection speed, and I bet you can do it too !

Since a 100 tick slot uses over 15KB/s you won't be able to run a 100 tick server, no matter how you set your rates.

A 66 tick will come closer to running but with 1 slot going over 10KB/s you will notice choke and tickrate drops, your maxrate would be around 10000.

No, of course not, not with that tickrate.

[darkflames]

any idea what rates i should start off with? Im using the cal config so i want to try and keep the rates within legal limits.

I don't think you can run a match server on this connection at all, maybe if your connection is of good quality, you can try to run a 6 slot match server at 100 tickrate with a sv_maxrate of 16000.

I would say give the CAL config a try, with 10 slots 100tick and see what happens. It will most likely not work, and it will be fairly unplayable, but give it a shot and then lower the tickrate in steps of 25 until you find a suitable level.

Doggie I love how you say I am wrong, now you are saying the same thing!

Get a life losser

First of all, looser is spelt with two 'o's and one 's'. Second of all, I'm saying it might be unplayable as his goal is to use the CAL config with its predefined rates, which might make it unplayable enough to be noticeable by a good player.
My advice is still, give it a try. If it doesn't work, lower the tickrate until it can be played on. Good luck!

First of all, Doggie, he's right. You just made yourself look like a huge doucher. GG.

I've hosted servers for two years now, I am not a douche . I'm telling the OP to try, and if he finds it to be unplayable then he can lower the tickrate.

Jeez you people are so... easily irritated ! Check your assumptions before flaming me !

Your experience and knowledge doesn't really show it.
Very questionable.

[Doggie52]

Are you arguing whether I am a douche or not ? If so I think you should find something else to bide your time with!

Look at my joindate for these forums... That should satisfy you for a while ?
