Our server uses the Win HL ping booster, which is a metamod plugin which supposingly increases the pings on the server. It came setup like that when we got the server, and we were always happy with it so didn't really play with it or touch it.
However, I had a quick look at the config here, and noticed 2 commands that I wasn't using in any of my configs :- sys_ticrate 10000 host_framerate 0 So, I had a little play, disabled the ping booster and put these 2 commands in my server.cfg. Looks like the end result is pretty much the same as the ping booster, with the server fps about 500 or so. Commands we have (which came with the server already like this) for the ping booster booster_show_connmsg 1 booster_autofps 100 booster_minsleepms 3 booster_force_systicrate 10000 booster_cpu_enabled 0 booster_cpu_spikemax 3 booster_cpu_spikelevel 75 booster_cpu_mminc 2 Now I finally have an excuse to remove metamod completely from our server :) (Its only used for matches anyway) Regards, Ryan Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guilherme "rAGe AgAiNsT" Pagnozzi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 11:18 AM Subject: [hlds] RE: Server FPS 64 > This server will be use on a Tournament.
