<div class="IPBDescription">Please help me, dear xperienced ops!</div> Hi, I just created a WORKING dedicated server for NS and I added mods that all work (like lerklift or Med-Armory)
I just have a few questions regarding server operation (these may seem like noob questions ... I am sorry in advance guys!)
Anyways, here they are:
1) Why is it that when I have 4 - 5 people on my server, the ping is amazing (like 50-110 ms) but when 6-7 people play, the ping skyrockets to like 3000 ms?
2) How much will NS 2.0 reduce network and CPU usage? I heard it'll only be about 2x as much as that of CS. Is this rumor true? Regardless of whether or not it is true, i want to know if possible, how much 2.0 will decrease CPU and network usage as compared to 1.04.
BTW, just to help out, i have a 1.8 ghz Pentium 4, 256 megs of SDram
When 6 players are connected, the ping skyrockets to 3000 ms but only about 10% of my CPU resources are consumed (on map ns_siege005)
I suppose its my connection that's lagging ... I have DSL. I'm not sure what the upload rate for my DSL is but I pay about 40 bucks a month for my DSL service (SBC Global). My friend said my upload rate MIGHT be about 128 k or so. I'm not sure what that means.
Anyways, if ANYONE can help me out, I would be greatly appreciative and VERY much obliged. Also, if anyone can give any suggestions as to how i can reduce the lag (3000 ping) on my server when 6-7 people are on it, I would also be very thankful.
BTW, i have Win HL ping booster installed ( i don't know linux) and I have that rate management script for Admin Mod installed.
Just if anyone is curious, my server is -={0^s}=- Xeroz Server and the server ip address is 169.254.207.30:27016
Thanks a lot everyone!!

2) Its under tests yet... but, there are <b>RUMORS</b> tath drops more than half the CPU usage, no one can confirm this until the ns2.0 oficial build be ready.
2) NS 2.0 CPU usage is down a noticable amount. I can't give hard numbers since I don't have enough of a sample for averages.
3) 128kbps can not handle more then 4-6 people, you need about 256kbps to handle a 10 player server and leave some overhead.
4) Your CPU and Memory should be fine if you are running a dedicated server. If you are playing on it as well as running a server it is underpowered.
