Ladder server

[tChr]

Cheerio Green, running a server is actually NOT mainly a money thang. Not every single playa needs his own server, and when 3 or 4 ppl get together to buy one, it wouldn't be that expensive. Even for a schwob

The bigger job is hosting it, no?

Excaclty. The problem is not hardware, you could whip together a server capable of running nexuiz for €300, finding somehwere to out it is the challgenge.

I just want to let people know that my server is not abseloutly permanent either. Its just Hardware not used at work at the moment, it the HW is needed at some point, i have to take it offline, I'll let you know if so hapens of cource.

the only way to get a good nexuiz server is also to have a good connection .. either conenct it to a university connection (although these might been loaded a lot and have lags) or have it hosted professionally (Strato etc. for germany, or all the other gameserver providers out there)

because of the high demand for another ladder server (Greens and tChrs were loaded with people sometimes) Ctrl+Alt+Del and I have decided to put up another ladder server. it should be up in a few days, maybe even tonight (i hope ).
its located in germany and will be available on demand / inquiry for everyone

[GreEn`mArine]

could you tell us what kind of server this one will be pls ?

[Daedalus]

nothing extraordinary. its an athlon xp2000+/512 mb ram/100 mbit, located in nürnberg, middle germany (heya, esteel ). its configured after the specifications mentioned in the ladder rules and will be non-public, cause its single purpose should be to be available for the ladder matches.

its online to the public for testing purposes now, but will be only for another day or two. if anyone wants to test it connect to:

85.10.194.55:26000

if anyone encounters errors or bad lags or somethingi'd be glad for some feedback

cool, thanks for providing this server. btw, you should set another ticrate than the default ticrate (which is 0.05) .. perhaps something like 0.03 - this puts more load on the server, but for a 1on1 server it's okay and won't make gameplay stutterish due to overload (which might happen with a 8+ slot server) and this should "reduce the felt ping" for the players

can be done via
set "sys_ticrate" "0.03"

I've set up a ladder server on a dedicated 3GHz P4 with 1GB ram and decent network-connection. Its running configuration as stated in the rules. Its a public server en thereby accessible in the browser.

server running on: ladder.tchr.no:26000

Ive now also added the stats parser to the server
http://ladder.tchr.no/

Edit: I've changed the server to tun on standard port.

Whats the difference between a ladder server and standard tdm/dom/dm server ? Does it need a mod or server side changes ?

With such a nice cue i took the liberty to add the server to the top post. Have to try that server later this day Maybe i'll meet you there..
