Yay welcome to summer!

Specs and speedtest:

(click to show/hide)

Old speedtest results, at least until September:

speccy apparently doesn't support my CPU, I also have 8gb RAM (for now), SSD, HDD, 4k@30Hz TV for a monitor. If you're interested in actual specs reply or PM me I guess.
Haven't tried to overclock yet but I expect my cooler to keep stable up to 4.0-4.4 GHz, maybe above.

6 servers with 24 tempest bots each, consistent 30fps, plus my normal server and chrome and stuff:

CPU load at a little over 50% though that doesn't necessarily mean I could do 12 servers, because hyperthreading. CPU temps averaged around 45 C (forgot to show in screenshot).

TL;DR If you're lagging on my server blame 1) the speed of light 2) my ISP/family streaming 3) Your own computer 4) me rendering 4k video with all 6 cores or something
If it's 4) I'll try to warn people.

Mostly copy/pasted settings from old server:

7 sec respawn
4 caps to win
12 minute matches
chat_v2 is not required
2 x
Autobalance on until further notice. *Please don't be that guy who immediately goes spectator when he gets switched

The goal of this server is to be fun but not overly restrictive. So no highlander. Actually, I can probably host a separate competitive/highlander server if anyone wants.

Updated maprotation, if someone can link me to 5cp_docking, new ctf_thumbs, and kulay with forward spawns that would be great. Also granary is a bad map and hindsight is okay ._.

List of all maps in my Maps folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k1lv6n9x8i8xk3c/.allmaps.txt?dl=0
Script to do that with your own maps folder:
for %%i in (*.png) do @echo %%~ni >> .allmaps.txt
Paste this into notepad and save as a .bat file in your maps folder. Double click to run, it'll make a file called ".allmaps.txt"
Delete the .allmaps.txt when you want to make a new one, since the code just adds on names every time you run it.


VIP kicks in at 15 players, 17 max. Password: gg2f
Since I'm spectator most of the time this should allow for 7v7 up to 8v8. Still trying to get VIP mode to not cause overcrowding while minimizing 's because someone can't get in.
A script to start a second server when the first is full would be better, but programming is hard.

RCON: gg2f Obviously will change if abused. I'm usually on this computer so I can restart reasonably fast if someone breaks things.

Please suggest maps, plugins, better names for the server, better aliases for host, etc.

Great server, man! I'm glad you can be a 24/7 host

[[FR]YB]

Veeeery nice server, thanks a lot

I'm not sure about the VIP thing though. I mean, it's ok as long as there are other available slots in other servers, and it feels good to feel privileged, but, I don't know, I feel like the average player should be able to join anyway. You shouldn't have to go check the forums just to spend your daily 10 minutes break on gg2

Also, remove rcon password
I don't know if you can execute_string via rcon, but if it's possible, you're literally in danger right now

Edit: ok no Derpduck told me rcon can't use execute_string, but still, I wouldn't give the rcon password away like that

[Spazz]

Having the VIP password is fine, it means people actually visit the server's thread and read something
That is unless people reveal it in-game, then it's useless. I encourage a different VIP password every week

RCON on the other hand, it's actually kinda fun to have since those who know the pass (Again those that read the server's thread) are usually people that chat, so they discuss whether or not to kick if a player decides to go afk or be a joker ('troll')

Btw Bullets, a 30Hz 'Monitor'/TV is a terrible idea. Suggest anything above 60hz or you're going to have to put up with the mouse lag

no you're very dumb

[bullets (obviously)]

Yeah VIP password is basically only meant to prevent first-time players from taking up a slot at peak hours when they'd probably have the same experience on an empty server.
Might change it weekly, but that would require effort.

RCON password definitely needs more security, maybe I'll distribute it in IRC/skype or something instead.

Will try to change maprotation to hippie's suggestions when I don't have homework to procrastinate on.

thank you

little bit of lag but pretty good server.
remove ctf_outpost please

[bustatunez]

Yo what happened to your server??

[Knyron]

Yo what happened to your server??

[bullets (obviously)]

Can't host over thankgiving weekend because we get kicked out of our dorms and have to unplug everything inside, including computer.

Next downtime expected will be somewhere in the latter half of December when I move home, but I'll bring my desktop then.

Meanwhile gonna actually add Hippie and Heenok's map suggestions.

[bustatunez]

Oh okay man, sounds good.

[bullets (obviously)]

Server back up, will remain so until maybe late December.
Added Hippie and Heenok's suggestions see new maprotation
Respawn time now 7. VIP/playerlimit will need further tweaking, the ideal solution would probably be starting a second server as needed. Or reverse VIP, when the limit is reached on one server a second unpasswords itself.

Good stuff!
