Wow 50 bots are cool but i think it will be a huge problem rendering all those polygones. But then again i found Nexuiz to run way better then quake4 here. Both are heavily tweaked but i never run into as low fps with Nexuiz as i did with quake4..

batservers are hosted on a computer with a VIA C7 cpu... its a bit special (really low power, if i remember well it uses 1 Watt to run), and for sure it *could* have problems to host a 64 slots server...

what is sure is that i don't think that everybody has a good enough client computer to manage a 64 players game...

The C7 is a massive improvement over the C3 processors. And my C3 processor with 1200 MHz could possibly handle 64 players.

And the clients should probably reduce their texture sizes/details.... if it gets too slow. Additionally, a specific map could possibly improve the situation -- if it makes sure that most of the time not all players have to be rendered at the same time.

Thats why i sugested a bigger map for this. with all players on screen most client would proly have a hard time with fps.

Well 'medley' and 'flipzone' might really help with the polygon thing.

A mirrored version of tznex03. Yes a map twice '03 original size. 2 flags for each team if you go ctf on it.

Oh no!! The lag map times TWO !!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: I will have to hardwire my lappy to my router!

Can the server set the clients' effect and video settings? At least it should automatically start the demo recording.
