Gaming bit-tech's Multi-Core Gaming Server

so that's how he gets hold of these components before their even rumoured about

 

The reality is that Tim (and many others) work incredibly long hours to bring you guys the latest news & reviews. Leaving the office at 8pm would actually be an "early night" for Tim - last night it was after 9pm before we headed home, for example.

Let's just say, a 9-5 Mon-Fri job this sure ain't. We do it because we love it - there's no clocking off when you're a bit-techer.

 

server is great guys

GREAT FOR COMEDY TMP KILLS WOOOOO!!!!

 

I wonder how my latency will be seeing that I'm in Santa Cruz...

 

its a nice server, but how hi is the CPU and the DDR load? i think not everyting is in use.

 

With only one server on there it's not even breaking into a sweat...

 

Nevermind breaking a sweat, the heartbeat isn't even above 'rest' yet.

 

You can manually change the setting of max connections in windows thru command line.

 

By the way, we're looking at getting some regular 'organised' CS nights going - drop your thoughts in this thread

 

well i never knew that

1 question i gotta ask, do you make the news topics manually, because frequently the link is wrong, or not there yet

Just wondering beacause surely your PHP dude could make some sort of script to make this automatically, saving some time too

is this server 100 tick (i think it is) beacause 100 tick should really just be limited to clan matches, and few players (<16) beacause there is so much CPU and bandwidth usage with 100 tick

66 tick really should be fine for any pub server, ill see if i can drag up the link off the valve forums for this

 

It's at 100 tick at the moment, but then we're hardly short of CPU power. Maybe when we start to get more servers on the box, we'll have to drop back to 66 tick to ensure that it's a better experience for all box-wide.

 

well i looked around

Unfortunetly my godly rates thread (well not mine, but my reference) has been deleted, or gone, or i cant find it - which sucks, i did however looks on srcds.com and found this quote

There is a good guide at http://www.serverwiki.org/index.php/Advanced_Tickrate now though

 

thanks for the advice. we shall promptly be ignoring it

 

Seems like a good server, I get nice low pings to it too, shame I can't play

Not played CS:S for ages but have been on a couple of servers this week and they all seem superfast, as in you run around like a nutter has Valve upped it a gear or is it because have I been playing too much GRAW which is at a slower past, I can't keep up with the speed, its like source is new to me all over again.

Anyway enjoyed being cannon fodder for a bit ([SWLG] Fatboy)

 

Oh man cant wait to play! GO BIT TECH! wonder what /my/ pings would be like you know as im on the other side of the pond ^^;

 

Thanks, I'll have a read

 

Rubbish = Me good to hop on CS:S and have it confirmed once every six months

 

heh heh

its strange having a PC with no gui, or moniter/keyboard/mouse connected to it
Infact that PC needs just 2 cables, Power and Ethernet
Ive learnt so much having to do all my work via SSH

Glad to help you say that to 1 wiki article, and then another and another
Before you know it youve read most of the wiki and wasted a week of your life too

 

screw Counter-Strike, get Day of Defeat: Source running on that server instead!

 

jeez since when was DOD:S so popular
Its an orite game, but i never thought it was that great, haven't bought it yet

DOD is also OK, and i recon in a way better, but DOD:S works properly, so i guess that will win any day
