Chicago Server

[eclyps]

Attention All Stompfest Members (UPDATED)

Our box in Chicago seems to be going fairly well. We've done some testing and have decided to put 2 servers on it. The first is a 20 man Turbo Gungame Deathmatch server. Hop on and check it out for yourself!

The second server will be a 12 man CAL server that plays only CAL maps. This server will be up in the next day or two and will be password protected. This will be reserved for people who would like to scrim against the members of stompfest.

We would love to hear some feedback.

Server Type: Turbo Gungame Deathmatch
IP Address: 69.13.15.10

Attention All Stompfest Members
We are currently testing a new box located in Chicago. We have set up a slightly smaller (24 man) 100 tick stock map server for testing. If you could, please hop in the server, maybe bring along some friends, and report back with any decrease in tick rate, or an increase in loss/choke.

If this server goes well, we may make the New York server a 66 tick and the Chicago server a 100 tick 34 man. If this box works out, we may also put other game types/mods on here.

If you would like to see anything in specific on the Chicago server, please let us know on our forums!

I will be sitting out there after 6:00pm CDT, let's try to get some folks over there this evening and test.

[eclyps]

torrin, i'll put you in charge. jump in there now and make sure your admin works

[Torrin]

Yeah, I got a promotion!!! Head test server admin tester guy!! I am so happy! :D

[eclyps]

lol...

keep in mind that the New York server is our #1 priority. If it's got really low numbers I want you to jump back in there. But honestly, if it's got anything more than 15, it'll fill its self back up rather quickly.

Yes dear....

[eclyps]

did you test your admin in this server yet?

[Torrin]

Now, I did say after 6:00pm tonight, so no. I suppose that means I am fired! drat.

[eclyps]

fired...

but you're re-hired at 6:00 EST

Unless your admin doesn't work. In that case, call me and I'll get it working.

[Tippo]

I'll hop in there right now to see how things are.

[Enlightened Viet]

There was no apparent ff than it was enabled sometime during the game. I almost one but I think dwight or doctor spawned behind me and knifed me... :mad: so he won.

no idea wtf you are talking about...


more on topic, don't get your hopes up. This server may have a crap connection. We don't know. If it does, we'll look into something else. If it's got a good connection, well then we'll all be happy.

[Tippo]

Needs some more testing for now. I'll help you out later if you guys want. It seems stable, but apparently the in/out are to high? I'm not sure. I experienced some lag, but that was probably because Eclyps was messing around with the settings trying to get it stable. I don't know, we'll see. :D

[kahne]

needs some more testing and max the server out too.

[kahne]

showing off

[Dr. Acula]

was just playing there. my ping is good, in and out were great, only 2 people though. minimal loss/choke

[Tippo]

The choke always seems to be very low. I was averaging 0-3. Sometimes it'd go more, but that's the average. Overall the rates are good. Kahne and I were messing around in there for a bit. Maybe I'll grab a bunch of fellas and we can see later.

I could also be experiencing some lag due to my range away from the server. I'm only a few miles away from the NY server. I'm a couple hundred away from the Chicago. Definitely changes things there.

[sloppy]

Very nice ill ping like a 12 in the server lemme go check it out =)

[Liquid Caravan]

E, i was in the Chicago server at 5PM Central. just me, my tic was at 100 until i planted a bomb someone gave me, then it dipped to about 50, then back to 100. pings were a bit higher than NY. my admin doesnt work.

[kahne]

u never work, just play play play!

[eclyps]

admin should work now.

[Torrin]

Not as far as I can tell:

Torrin <SF> connected
Scoring will not start until both teams have players
Unknown command: ma_say
Unknown command: ma_users
Unknown command: ma_csay
Unknown command: ma_kick

[eclyps]

it's working. confirmed. ty

[Torrin]

We have been testing it, it looks okay, but choke was up to 20 and tic dropped to below 60 a couple of times with 10 players on. We will play around with it a bit more.

[Torrin]

Do not think it could handle 24 players much less 34. Most guys in the mid-west reported much better pings, I had a 2-4ms higher ping.

Let me know when you need more testing.

[Fuu]

E - 20 people in now, getting about 90/90 roughly... I'll keep you updated...

[Enlightened Viet]

Basically there was FF in a gungame server...is that possible? For the first few rounds we shot at each other and it was all good than later FF was on. idk maybe it was always on.

[Fuu]

Viet... Some GG servers have FF on for some rounds (i.e. nade round)... Not sure how ours is set up at the moment, but I guess E will look into it.

E - Last night tick rate stayed pretty stable, in the 90-100 range. Never got into 34/34 but was not bad until late night (until after 1 or 2 AM)... Then we started getting some choke issues and persisting right now (11:30AM).

Check it out <3

[eclyps]

alright fuu, i'll look into the choke issues. Was the tick dropping badly?

[pancakes? c'est charmant!]

wait...what...i've got cancer!?

[Enlightened Viet]

Can we keep the FF off in this server? Kinda easier to play and watch a server where FF isn't on. Prob kick those that repeatedly abuse others with their ammo.

[hOoLiGaN]

its 7.11am and the GUNGAME server is on de_piranesi

this might want to be fixed....

[eclyps]

yeah... i left stock maps in there. I'll take those out right now

[Torrin]

Geeze, here I was going to start playing on the GG server if regular maps were on it!

[eclyps]

let me know if you spawn with smoke or whatever they were complaining about.

Looks like the map cycle only contains gg maps, so I'm not sure what is going on.

[saucey]

change the GG server to a custom map server!
