Hukkalandia Secrets?

Okay, as you wish I tell what I know about this optimizion. (how hell to write this optimizion word correct?)

This are specs:

RedHat 7.2
Athlon XP 2000+ (1,67GHz) with 512MB DDR
100mbp RSL COM Finland Oy

Server.cfg:

// Use this file to configure your DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed everytime the server changes levels.
//
// Please visit the server ops forum on www.natural-selection.org if you have any questions about any of these settings.
//

// disable autoaim and mad gibs
sv_aim 0
violence_hgibs 0
violence_agibs 0

// player bounding boxes (collisions, not clipping)
sv_clienttrace 3.5

// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0

// default server name. Change to "Bob's Server", etc.
hostname "Hukkalandia NS v1.01 #1"
rcon_password "************"

// maximum client movement speed (needed for commander mode)
sv_maxspeed 1500
sv_cheats 0
sv_allowdownloads 0
sv_lan 0

mp_consistency 1
mp_countdowntime .2
mp_latejointime 1
mp_assert 0
mp_tournamentmode 0
mp_networkmeterrate 100000
//mp_networkmeterrate 100000
mp_falldamage 1
mp_serverscripts 0
mp_teamresourcehandicap 1
mp_spawninvulnerabletime 0
mp_drawdamage 0

// 60 minute timelimit
mp_timelimit 15

// Commander voting
mp_votedowntime 180
mp_votecasttime 2
mp_votepercentneeded .3
mp_minvotesneeded 2

// mp_logfile 0
// log off
mp_networkdebug 0
mp_flashlight 1 <-- this to zero and you get about 5-10% optimized
mp_footsteps 1 <- this to zero it will help some 1-3%

// List server op WON ids here, delimited by semi-colons (eg, "12345;23223;123123"). ns_authicons must be 1 for this to work.
mp_serverops ""
ns_authicons 1

// Execute Admin Mod configuration file
// exec addons/adminmod/config/adminmod.cfg

// Omat optimoinnit <- I tested this thing about 1 whole day without helping anything
// sv_minrate 0
// sv_maxrate 10000
// mp_lowlag 1

exec banned.cfg

This is normal server.cfg file and it doesnt handle any suprise thing. Only can noticed is that sv_minrate and max_rate helps nothing.

How about half daemon settings?

THere they comes:

dport=28050
port=28000
args=-pingboost 3 <-- pingboost 1 - 3, bestest works 3 (cuts pings off 30-40%)
nic=
rs=1
rsDelay=5
rsattempts=10
email=

hlbpaddr=127.0.0.1
hlbpport=2000
hlbpserveraddr=
hlbpserverport=27015
hlbpuser=
hlbppass=

hlbpoutput=0
usrauth=
admauth=

newapiauth=
localmode=0
localadmin=0

checkpass=1
adminlog=0

refresh=60
cm=1
serverMsg=
serverMsgTimes=

fortune=0
fortuneargs=-s
quiet=1
deleteLogs=1
deletecust=0
autorotate=1
rotatetype=0
oldlogsdir=oldlogs
enforcepass=
enforcepass=
getdeaths=0

I think all others are in basic mode and doesnt need to post here. Takes too much time.

How about running server? What command I use to start server. Lets see this:

halfd -g ns -e 28000 &

I forget one thing:

halfd.cfg file:

hlds_boost= <-- set this to 1 then this works

also need to do something else.

You need to configure this autoexec.cfg file.

I will post it here when I get some freetime.

Questions? send mail I will answer..

Sorry this I was planning descripte all settings and what they does.. you guys wants too fast this guide

    Good job Hukka!

    That is a great. We really need to know if this helps because I have some tips what should be test aswell..

    Why don't you just send me the stuff you want tested and I will have it put up. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh, I should probably mention that it is a US based server (and admin) so I won't get the results until tomorrow at the earliest.

    Hukka, thanks for the tips. This is how I had our server setup mainly, except I had flashlight on. I turned it off to see if it makes a difference.

    Pingbooster 3 caused erratic pings, and while it did keep pings down a little, it ate up CPU resources.

    Do you think that the improvements mainly come from Halfd settings?

    Autoexec.cfg file be posted tomorrow..

    Then you guys knows all settings in server.. then we begin optimize linux..

    Thanks. I am not familiar with halfd so I may be posting a lot of questions.
  • SuicideDogSuicideDog Join Date: 2002-11-10 Member: 8104Members
    I downloaded the halfd.. but I don't run a gui on my server.. do I need it? can I use a win32 client on my m$xp box to admin the halfd on the server? Thanks ..
  • StoneburgStoneburg Join Date: 2002-11-11 Member: 8174Members
    Hukka, I didn't get the mail. Could you mark it [CoFR] so I don't accidentally throw it out?

    Brutus, want to take over this? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I will follow up on it when he posts the autoexec.cfg stuff.

    Suicide, read the FAQ.txt file with the halfd download. It explains that it will run and how to get it to run with win.
  • GoleXGoleX Join Date: 2002-11-07 Member: 7681Members
    It hasn't had that much effect on my server yet... maybe dropping pings 10-20 I guess. Hera still peaks into the 400s though when its full =/

    Maybe the rest will help even more, thanks again Hukka.
  • GoleXGoleX Join Date: 2002-11-07 Member: 7681Members
    Sorry to bug you again Hukka... but when you have time could you post those linux optimizations you were talking about (btw compiling 2.4.19 with gcc 3.0 helped quite a bit)

    what kernel were using before? 2.2.19? LOL But really... i'm running 2.4.18 on mine.

    ok, yeah, you would see some performance that way. Plus compiling your own kernel helps because you don't have all that garbage the "generic" kernels have. I might recompile mine sometime and let you guys know the before and after...that is if flaya doesn't release a patch before then. I hear he is working really hard on it.

    *sees flaya laughing in his chair while reading this post*

    EDIT : Btw, i've recompiled my kernel many many times so i'm not running a generic. Not sure what good that does since its not based on any generic kernels that most linux servers run. Oh well.

    hahaah, u soo have a point there. ALthough i did disable flashlights. hehehe, evil.
  • GoleXGoleX Join Date: 2002-11-07 Member: 7681Members
    I got whined at for turning off flashlights, so I turned em back on.

    If you upgrade to gcc 3.0 cracker its supposed to have some uber optimization code now. Of course there is a small chance your kernel won't work...

    I am going to test this later, when I have a linux guru with me so I don't screw anything up <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
