    um, yeah.. His NS has other mods running on the server computer.. let's hope it's not too big, or that the other servers aren't too busy!

    Looks like 4 HL servers running on this one machine. Unles it is mutiple machines behind a router.

    Server is a AMD Athalon XP 2100+, 1 Gig Ram.
    It still has plenty of resources, and I usually only have 4 up.

    In my experience, NS is better on its own box. Most places even require you to buy a dedicated server if you want to run NS.

    It may be fine atm, but if they start to fill up you're prolly gonna get really boged down.

    What kind of connection/backbone are you on?

    Robob, with NS version 1.04 there is no way you can get away running FOUR natural-selection servers on that one processor computer.

    That machine is fast enough to host ONE NS server all by itself, as in the machine is dedicated to the one NS server.

    Unless you want your servers to be brought to their knees every time an NS server happens to switch to ns_bast or ns_hera, please either give the NS servers the power they need, or stop offering NS servers.

    While offering suggestions for him could be nice, I see no reason to tell him how to run his company/service.

    If you don't think his server will handel it then buy one. Play his test server and see. If it can handle it then he'll probably have some business, if not he won't.

    I'm not telling him how to run his company, I'm just extremely surprised that he would try to cram so much on one server when it has been obvious for the last 7 months that NS requires way more CPU power than any other mod.

    Maybe the server forum would be a better place for this?

    Thanks for the info, but i only have one NS server up. Im monitoring it very carefully. But it hasnt been filled up yet. Also if people are interested, i plan on buying another server just for NS if i c that people would rent them. the servers are out of San Antonio TX, on a multi OC48 connection

    Business is business, if his servers are slow and laggy no one will rent from him. Natural Selection will insure only the strong will survive.
    [pun intended]

    Server is running at 37fps ?? this seems low, and the server was empty when I joined. Also pings were awful for an emtpy server - where is it ?

    Well, you can work out roughly how many people you have on a box on a mhz comparison.

    Usually 100mhz for each player is sufficient to keep the server 100% lag free.

    Also, with AMD, you have to use the 'real world' clock speed 2100+ = 1733mhz?

    Say if I had a dual 2.4ghz Intel server, with sufficient RAM (whatever that may be)
    I could fit 2400 x 2 / 100 = 48 people playing NS on there

    Whether that's distributed over 2 x 24 Man servers, or 3 x 16 man servers, even 4 x 12 man servers.

    It's a pretty good rule of thumb if you want fast unlaggy gaming. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    no you couldn't, HL only uses 1 CPU, so yuo could run 2 servers, each off it's own CPU, but you'd also be lagging the memory bus, it's much better to run one server from one single CPU box (or dual cpu box and use the other CPU for connectivity)
