Just want to thank you vicki for trying so hard to make our gaming experience that much better :D You're doing a fantastic thing for the community.
Thank you I do know most of the other server owners and they put in a great effort as well, I feel we all care alot about the players that are on our servers and want them all to have a good gaming experience.
We will be moving VIPER to another IP today for the upgrade. I am not sure when though, so if server goes down w/o warning that would be the reason why. Hopefully I will get advanced notice to let you all know who are in game at that time. I will post the new ip as soon as I know it.
New Server is Up VIPER's new server is 75.102.12.98:27015 64 slots, I would like all your help to keep the server as full as long as possible for the next few days so we can test out lag and gameplay etc. I might have to tweak some settigns but won't know unless the server is full or near full for awhile. Thanks to the other server owners and admins for understanding my request. and thank you to the players for helping out. fingers crossed
I would like all your feedback on the new server. I have gotten mixed reviews. many say there no lag when it was over 60 players on and some said yes it was laggy. I have been keeping a close eye on pings and lag and what I noticed some players come into the game with over 300 ping before they even start playing, from countries far from USA, one even had a ping of over 600 and played, which could affect everyones latency. I am trying to figure out if the lag some are complaining about is player lag or server lag. Any feedback is appreciated.
I played a round of escort on a pretty filled server. Your server started to lag for me (and everyone else) when it hit the 55 player mark. Europeans normally have around 180 ping on the VIPER server but when it had 55+ players on, everyones ping went to 300. That's an indicator that the server CPU was maxed out at this player count.
Yup it is very bad at 63 players right now. I dont get why, the cpu shudnt be maxed out with a dual quad core so I don't know but I am going to 48 slots as soon as my tech guy is around to do it. I am disappinted but like we all said before we rather a lag free server than lag with alot of players. So we will see how 48 goes. Thank you for your feedback it is helping me decide on what to do.
When are the message boards going to be set up. Also, post the link in your original post, as I had to look for the website link.
Right now my server is not repsonding UGH I tried to change the slots myself by typing maxplayers in console with rcon and it crashed and won't come back up so hopefully tomorrow my tech guy can correct this. Once I get the slot number down right, the highest number of slots with no lag I will try the forced auto join and see if anyone likes it.
Can you shorten "!researchinfo" to "!ri" so we don't need 2 binds for g4tc and viper and its more convenient to have short commands
I wish I could, I had it shortened when I was using Beetles admin mod. I had !ri, !us and !kill. Addsaytriggers were built into the admin mod. I switched over to Source Mod Admin and there are no plugins to shorten them I hope someone does make one.
I tried that a couple of weeks ago and then had to recomplie it and it needed an include for another plugin and every time I recompiled it it failed
