Ive done that and i agree chicago seems to hit east better and texas seems to hit west better.
The issue i have is say for instance someone in region 1 rents a server in chicago which is set to region 0 to get players They never see their own server in the list but if they set it to region 1 then they lose out on having more players ping well to it. I guess it would be nice to have a us central region as well. dex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Sorenson Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 8:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] sv_region At 11:44 AM 2/24/2006 -0500, you wrote: >Anyone have any thoughts on what sv_region to set for central areas (texas >and chicago for instance) I'd run a traceroute to some well-known east and west coast sites (www.nytimes.com and www.sfgate.com, as two examples) and take a look at how those travel. Chances are you're going to be a lot closer to the east coast in terms of hops from Chicago, not certain about the Texas location (many head through KC then Denver to reach the West coast, but it may be homed out of one of the east-coast backbones like Virginia and New York. You might also run those traceroutes against the major service providers, like www.level3.net, global.mci.com (uunet), www.qwest.net, and www.att.net. The closer you are to one of those, perhaps choose the region that the provider is more heavily in? - Dan * Dan Sorenson DoD #1066 A.H.M.C. #35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vikings?
