Server Settings Thread

Recommended Posts

Quite a few little changes have been made to Recrudescence, but I'm sure more can be done. If possible, the server should be tuned so well that admins of other servers are joining the forums just to ask if they can get a copy of our config. At this point, just about every option in Mani and srcds should be considered on the table to be discussed and possibly changed. This is mostly about little things. For reference, most settings can be changed on a map-by-map basis also. Suggestions for what the rcon password should be will not be considered.

 

Specific and non-specific questions about the current setup will be answered as fully as possible. The end-of-map voting that's enabled right now from midnight to noon eastern is still a WIP, but any suggestions for it are also welcome.

Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps! Custom maps!

 

Just for clarification: we need custom maps.

 

Ok, that being said, could you post up a link or something where I can look at the available options?

 

I say custom maps because I've been on the server many a time where people have left to go play Lost Temple or something on Mayhem or have asked if there were any custom maps on our server. A few people left the other day 'cause they were sick of the rotation.

 

I know some have been added, but I think we need to pick a few and add them to the regular rotation. The population is up a bit though, and I'm glad to see it!

 

Thanks again for workin' your tail off Mook! :peace:

I'm not going to post up the raw config because (1) I would have to walk through it anyway to make sure I didn't miss something (like the rcon password) and (2) it exists in 3 separate files which I'd need to combine anyway for it to all make sense. I'll try and run through what some of the noteworthy options are set to some time, but right now I have to go vote (polls close in just over 2 hours I think). If you click on this bad boy, it should take you over to a page where if you scroll most of the way down you can see what a large number of the server cvars are set to, in real-time:

216.52.148.55:27015.png

 

Custom maps can be loaded, but for the most part are not going to be run on the cycle for a bit. An admin would be able to set them up, at his discretion. Even though things are looking a little better, the server is still fragile, and owes most of the traffic gain to an aggressive mapcycle (read: DAD).

 

Don't forget though that VIP night is tomorrow, so jump on if you want to do some assassination.

This should show more or less all the options available in Mani. Probably there are a lot of them that we aren't interested in at all.

 

Here is an abbreviated listing of the current config on Recrudescence. I've struck out those cvars for Mani features that I don't expect we'll have any interest in using, and some that we may or may not use, but are really of no interest for discussion (e.g. extra spawnpoints). The same goes for the srcds cvars that are at the top of this list.

Round timer has been changed to 2:30 (from 3:00). 2:30 is what Immutable and Project Mayhem had both already been running. I haven't noticed any maps where teams were making full use of the 3:00 timer, but if you see a map that's feeling rushed then post up.

Was the map time changed in there from to 50 and 15 rounds? (sorry I don't feel like reading all of the mani config) My other question is why?

(1) Yes.

(2) That's OK, because that config was only a snapshot and is not up to date anyway.

(3) Trying out longer limits to see how it works out. 50 minutes should rarely come into play, since hardly any maps average 1:30 or more per round.
