Want to know more about the network? The servers? Our provider(s)?

Ask away...I'll answer what we can!

just wondering, is this your 48 trunk or is it part of your company? what other services do you provide? (ISP,WEBHOSTING,ETC)

when i used to run quake servers, 3 x 12 players used to consume a 50K UP limit, which would end up in 2-3GB usage by the end of the month. how much does just the RTCW netcode consume?

I've always wondered how much bandwidth an RTCW server needs but no one seems to have a definite answer. In theory since you can limit people tolike 8 or 10 kbps you should only need like 512 up for 32 players, but in reality I think its like a couple of megs.

For those folks interested in the traffic stats, here is some info:

The RTCW MRTG Stats:
http://www.deftechgroup.com/mrtg/switch/205.177.13.11_2.html

The Usage stats for it:
http://205.177.13.2/mrtg/switch/205.177.13.11_2.total.2002.html

In summary, it uses about 500GB of transfer per month.

The Battlefield 1942 MRTG Stats:
http://204.157.6.3/mrtg/switch1/204.157.6.5_33.html

The Usage status for it:
http://204.157.6.3/mrtg/switch1/204.157.6.5_33.total.2002.html

My guess is the BF1942 server will use at least 500GB if not more, that is of course, if it stops crashing!

What distro do you use for hosting game servers ?

The logo i added doubles for meaning, makes it kinda convienent..

I been using Mandrake for the last few releases.. still haven't gotten alot of the major things down in Linux..

but i can use it and install and run most(some) apps

We use RH mostly, and have done some testing with BSD.

Hey Motha...

I've been playing on your server for a few months and recently ended up chatting with you during the game.

You were able to display your chats in the center of the screen, ala' the Shrub Mod's MOTD service (or so it seemed).

How did you do this? What commands do you use? I have a server (which pales in comparison to yours) but I'd like to make live announcements to my players.

I have some messages set via a script file, that rotate every 120 seconds, but your messages were live and impromptu...

[Sir Fartsalot]

Heh. I was playing the other day and noticed Motha's comments about being the "Alpha and the Omega" as hilarious. I came in halfway through a conversation he was apparently having with the players on at the time, and it took me a minute to realize that it was him.

and i play often so....

This is using the command /RCON CP (what i want to say)

Man I hate to keep glomming off your hard work, but more questions.

I noticed recently center screen announcements of "Best Accuracy", "Most Kills" and "Most Property Damage" at the end of rounds. I know this is usually displayed in one big mish-mash at the end of a round in the upper part of the screen, but it's hard to notice and it's not as neat as the way I saw your server display it (center screen, one catagory a a time).

What's the server-side command for this?

As usual, I appreciate any info....thanks muchly, Motha.

This command is part of the new Shrub mod that has not been released yet. Once Shrub releases it on Monday I believe, he will have a list as usual on his site with the files.
