bit-tech's Multi-Core Gaming Server

I have a mate who is trying to adjust to Source but 1.6 he says is effectively a different game, his clan came 4th at the i28 championships for 1.6. But he blames that on the fact that he's used to a huge CRT and has never used a TFT.

I missed this on tuesday :(
Will try and pop on tonight, should be good cannon fodder (me that is, I'm useless)...
Any chance of a UT4K server on there at some point?

Perhaps it would be usefull if forum members used a (bit) prefix to their nametag so the rest of us know who's from the forums?

well new account ( totaly forgot all my detials / emails used for my last account :D)

been having fun on the server its nice :D and making some freinds hehe, keep up the good work

Why is everybody saying it's a tick 100 server? It's a tick 66 server. Registered just to see you turn into a real tick 100 server :D

This may not be related to your machine itself, but I got disconnected twice last night. The maps sometimes also seem to take long to load (as compared to other servers), so the comments on the disk I/O's earlier in this thread may indeed be something to look into. Well it's a fun place you created ;)

Wolfenstein ET is probably due to it being free now? And 3 weeks ago I would have wondered why WC3 is on the list, but having played it for the first time, I have to say it's a damn good game.

no it is in fact a 100tick server (unless they have changed it since i last played)

your rates are probably set wrong if you are only getting 66tick (overzealous server admins who think they know best setting your rates)

cl_cmdrate 100 (or 101)
cl_updaterate 100 (or 101)
rate 30000 (30000 bytes /second, the general range is 20-30k)

Ill go double check its still a 100 tick server

Edit
its now a 66 tick server, and still just as good

We turned it down to tick 66 this morning when there was no-one on it :)

Just had a quick game while my Dad had taken the little one out, seems like a good server - just need a few more people in it :)

Dad's back now, and I'm going to have to watch the rugrat - I proberbly won't get a chance to log back in tonight.

Feel free to add my Xfire username if anyone wants too

I managed a few rounds on the server last night, amazingly fast server and I also had an amazing ping of 6!
That also made me realise how much I suck at CS source now, that's what too much BF2 will do for you.
Can't wait until it is running that or even 2142 in the future?

Depends on what you're used to. I always play with CPL rates, so no, not a problem on my side. Besides, it was on tick 66 yesterday as well. But never mind that.
The real issue is that I can sometimes kill people when I actually seem to hit them "too late". Some peeps even called me a cheater

i usually find thats even worse on the 100 tick

Anyway, its still a good server

Been on a couple of times.
Was owning initially then someone swapped my real rounds for blanks.
Honestlt couldn't kill a thing. :(

I did notice one strange thing though.
The door on Nuke that you open to get into the upper bomb site, it seemed to be very glitchy and took forever to open?
Anyone else experience that?

Maybe it was related to the 100tick?

Unless someone was trying to get to your side at the same time? I had that happen and just took the other guy out through the door :D

lol!!!

That was my first thought too but I went that route several times and only once was there someone else there and they took me out! :(

I couldn't get CS to add it as a server in my favourites list... just downloaded it there and was playing for the first time in bloody ages, quite terrifying just how much I suck. Gimme halo 2 any day!

eh i never got into CS:S, i'm still stuck on condition zero. and now i don't even play that anymore, i'm back to BF2 and that's it these days.


i anxiously await BF2 support on the server. :D

I kept trying to get on for some comedy TMP kills, but steam reported the server as not responding!

oh well, gives me time to play lego star wars II

back to TMPing people in the face on monday.

TMP 4tehwin :D

Riyad, Tim and Spode are online now...

By the way, über has an umlaut on the "ü"

Nice job guys, i've helped run a couple of small LANs at a local pub and have a couple of small servers setup here at home for when a few m8s come round to have laugh with, usually not more than ten of us so there the boxes are never really pushed. But i've always wanted to have a go with a dual core/dual cpu setup so i can run a couple of different games for us all without worrying about too much threading, something i've never had the cash to get round to though sadly, tend to take whatever spare or old hardware i have and just throw servers together as it becomes available, lovely to see you guys are getting the chance to do it, be interested to see what OS you end up using as your main after you've been through a bit more testing.

I'd recommend Slackware for your linux testing but for some people it's a beast to setup and has too much in it for a simple game server enviroment where a stripped down linux is sometimes better. One thing i'd like to ask you guys is to log your mem usage on the box, maybe thread usage too if possible, doable under 2K3Server using logging. Be very interested to see what for example mem usage under 1cpu vs 2 + CS:S on its own and then BF2 and CS:S, etc. Would be a great to have a memory usage comparsion based on how many cores are in use and what the server is running at the time. Probably doing it already but if you are'nt ;).

Anyway timing couldnt be better, just reinstalled steam and all the bits a few days ago, been looking for an escuse to have a good session, try and get on later on :).

Where is everyone? I've been intermittently checking the new server over the last few days and there's never been anyone on there. So much for a gaming community! Well i'll be on/around til 12 if anyone would like to join me and we can get this thing going.

Is the server still on? It wont even let me connect.
