More servers.

[Hermskii]

I just realized that I want to and am going to make a few more servers. I have a few diffrerent ideas in mind so far.

One will be a ChaosUT server for sure. This is a fun mod and once you get used to it you'll love it!!! I promise.

One will be a slow and gradual rebuild of MHM but called something else until it is rebuilt completely and then I'll nuke the old MHM and replace it will the updated fresh copy.

One will be something that has the good old grapple hook in it. Not sure about it yet.

Now that the main Server box has been replaced and is so rock solid I have to start doing some more stuff here when time permits.

Don't forget to test a Soccer UT server...

Chaos UT Monster Hunt?

Hey monsters, I'm gonna put proxies on ya spawnpoint.Then I'm gonna PWN you with a damn huge sword.

I have been playing it a little now. They have updated it lots since the last time I played it. I could run a ChaosUT server already but I want it to be right or close on the first run. ChaosUT reguires lots of setup to run right and even then you are wondering if you got it right. The new Vortex and robot thing are totally cool.

How do you run multiple servers with 12 connections apiece on ONE connection?
If you have 2 servers running 12 connections apiece, that is 24 connections.
24 connections x 5000 MaxClintRate = 120,000 bps WOW.
Now you want to add more? How?

Herm what's your max upload speed? Mine is ~ 400 kbps (bits NOT Bytes).

If I rememebr I'll run the speed test and post results but consider this. Right now each server has a maxclient rate of 5000. Each server has a max player load of 12. Each server never has welve players on them and rarely even when added together. Any new servers I start will hardly have traffice so It is safe to have 10 servers if I want provided no more than the max player load according to upload bandwidth isn't maxed out by players joining the 10 servers.

CG has gotten busy again lately since MEAT's server appears off-line is what I suspect and because MEAT and Klownz keep slaughtering all newcomers on their servers. Due to these reasons I think the "Santuary" as it has been named by some is busy but rarely goes above 8 people and MHM jumps back and forth between 2 and 5 players all of the time. That's a standard max load of a total of about 12 players at 5,000kbps each alotted. Now the current speed score:

7606 down and 1710 up

With that I should be able to support 33-34 players at 5000 each. I think I did that right...

Ah, yes, I thought of that also.
Run a few servers, but, rarely would they all be loaded!
If they were, that would be great.
You can always work it out if that ever did happen! LOL

[Hermskii]

So, in an effort to be a little more transparent in my efforts here I wanted you folks to know that I have decided against ChaosUT for right now. UT99 version is fun but it is no match for the uT2K4 version of it. That is a blast! Too bad though cuz it is also hard to install and most won't feel it is worth the effort.

Instead for now I have decided to run another MH server yet this one will be running that Nali Weapons II mod. I just played with it and loved it. Give me a few days or weeks but I wanted you to know what my first effort will be towards adding new servers to the House of Hermskii list. I am excited and expect to make it so that as usual, you won't have to install anything to play it. I'll make the server already have everything you need just by getting it from my high speed redirect server. CYA!!!

Yeah, I upped the MaxClientRate on CMM to 5000 also.
It was at 4700 which seemed to work fine.
But, as you say, IF I get enough players regularly playing, I can always adjust it down again.
But rarely are there more than 5 or 6 max on most of the servers, including CMM, so upping the MaxClientRate shouldn't be a problem at all.
